PLAN TWO AUCTIONS
 FOR THE NEXT MONTH
Property Close to City to Be Cut
 Up Into Small Parcels and Sold.

The Arizona Auction and Develop ment company has two very inter esting auction sales impending with in the near future. Both Of thcs auctions contemplate placing upon the market new subdivisions as addi- tions to the city of Phoenix.
 George Gaines. who has twenty acres east of Eastlake park has de- cided to have it cut up into one acre lots and to place these lots on the market. He has confidcd his plan to the Arizona Auction and De- veIopment company and that firm has succeeded in inducing him to have the acre tracts auctioncd off. The date set for this interesting af- fair is February 1. the day after the meeting of the legislature
 About a week later Moore and Hayes will have the same sort of an operation performed on their twenty acres in the Lincoln place. the diff ference being that the Lincoln place property will be cut up into city lots for sale instead of into the acre tracts as in the case of the Gaines property. The Arizona Auction and Development company will conduct this sale also.

AN EXCITING SPORT.
Keeping on Turtles Back Is as Diff cult as Riding Bucking Horse.

It was o'clock in the evening
 Whcn we landed upon Peak island
 Queensland, and by 10 o'clock we
 had turned some forty three turtles. FL was a bright moonlight night, and
 after partaking of tea we craWled up
 tc the top of the island and pitched
 our tent. We were up soon after
 sunrise next morning, all excitement.
 for we were about to indulge in the
 novel sport of turtle riding Our
 camp was situated some four hun
 dred feet above sea level. and from
 this point of vantage we had a clear
 view of the island, which is only
 about d mile or two in circumference.
 After a hurried breakfast we went
 to the beach and found our 'steeds"
 upon their backs just as we had left
 them the night before
 some donned bathing suits. while others were in their pajamas. ready for the fun. Quickly we turned our mounts, when they at once made straight for the water. We jumped upon their backs and it was a queer sensation to find oneself upon a slowly moving mass, aiming for the sea immediately in front of you. The | turtles seemed pleased when they sniffed the water, and then we be- gan to wonder what would happen ! next. You cannot stand upon these l stecds once they have reached the | water. So we had to change our standing position into a sitting pos 1 ture the moment the creatures got 1 into about foot or water. If trav- l cling over the land was slow work l it was different when the water was 1 reached. A turtle is by no means 1 slow in the water; he can travel d, ! iJ good pace.

WHAT WAS DONE IN ONE
 YEAR 0N GLENDALE TRACT
Land Barren Year Ago Now Ready

L. S Thompson. of the |. S L. X T. Co. sold two twenty acre tracts three miles west of Glendale this week. The land belonged to I. r.. Bray. who bought it while it was still in brush year ago. since which time he has gotten the land ready for crop.
 Twenty acrts was sold to George A. Allcnsworth, and the other twenty acre tract was sold to C. T. Pulsifer, a Glendale man. The most interest ing part of this story is it's illustra- tion of what is being done in many parts of the valley. Uncultivated land in all parts of the valley is rapidly being placed into cultivation and inn proved with homes.

JANUARY ID BE
 RECORD MONTH
Phoenix Bids Fair to be
 City of Comfortable
 Homes and Solid Citizen ship; Notes of General
 Progress ill this Section

Quite a deal of added attention is being attracted to the south side of Phoenix owing to the railroad inn provements in that section where the Southern Pacific railway is spending several hundreds of thous- lnds of dollars oh the new shops and roundhouse. Tn this section is q new subdivision known as the Rucna Ventura excellent venture. '' which is being marketed by F. P. Me Carthy The result of the added in- tcrcst in this section is expected to make number of pleasing changes in that portion of the city in the course of a short while.
 Another addition fast becoming popular is the Central Park place in the south Central avenue section. This addition is ramed from the carefully laid out park in the middle of it. and this park has done much to bring to the addition a better class of homes than was there be fore.
 There seems to be a general ac- tivity in Phoenix and Salt river val ley real estate circles which is ac- counted for by many of the loca' dealers of experience in the valley by the sound basis upon which realty values are figured The result of all this is that Phoenix is rapidly be coming city of small and comfort able homes. showing the man Oi small and moderate means. appre- oiating the soundness of the realty valuation is investing and owning his own property. This evidences the highest sort of independence anC makes for d solid city with pro- gressiVe citizenship.

grabbing hold of him where his collar ought to De demands at first little nerve. It was an operation. too, that had to be performed quickly, and at the same time it is necessary to exert an upward pull or the animal will sink under the water. Mean while the creatures fins are working furiously. making terrible splash, while the head is continuously being ierked forward, followed by ominous Srunts. The least movement of the stecd to right or left upsets ones balance and causes both turtle and rider to literally turn turtle" We had hardly reached open water be- fore this happened to all of us. The moment I found myself going over I dropped my hold pretty quickly and made off in the opposite direction to the one which | thought the turtle would take
 Although these creatures arc harm less enough if handled with care the turtle possesses q beak which would shame a parrot of the same fighting weight: and, what is more, if you give him the chance he can make good use of it. one accordingly felt q little uncomf,.table when under water with turtle on top of one.
 However. after little practice and d few tumbles and exciting incidents We got the knack of things and had an exciting time in riding around upon our queer mounts At first wt experienced d little difficulty in get ting the turtles up to the surface again when once they had reached deep water, but we soon discovere' how to do it.-William Brown, in tn, Wide World Magazine.

REAL ESTATE

due t" the ever increasing number of sales made upon a basis of in stallment payments the deeds for which are placed with us in escrow and for which guarantee title poli- Cics are issued. It may not be a matter of general information, but it is nevertheless a fact the old style abstracts are waning in popularity before the oncoming appreciation for the title guaranty d greater per centage of the latter policies are is sued every month.
 We now hold in trust about thrty-five of the best acreage tracts and suburban subdivisions in the valley and are adding to this list constantly. I consider the prosperous condition of Phoenix to be reflected by the escrow department where the instaIlment payments on real estate were never more regular and thera is an ever increasing numbr of deeds being issued
 Tt is not generally known that trust companies can qualify as ad . ministrators or executors of estates in probate This however is so, and to the probation of a will a condi- ton which is largely added to by the new inheritance tax law which went into effect last September, makes il desirable for trust companies to handle such business. especially since they can handle it efficiently and eX- peditiously as the circumstances Of
