 [. 8 [. RECORD
Sales of This Firm Last Week Indicate the Open ing of Unprecedentedly Busy Season - Some of the Transactions

The early fall season started in with a rush for Greene & Griffin. The demand for homes is exceeding any previous season at this time of the year An unprecedented rush for furnished and unfurnished homes and active buying by many who have lived here long enough to know the investment safety of property in a rapidly growing town resulted in the sale of several houses this past week. L. M Fitzhugh, the architect, of the well known firm of Fitzhugh and F'itzhugh purchased the handsome new Mission brick on lot 6 block 1, Las PaImas This property has been much admired on account of it's well planned room effect and is built on one of the large lots of Las Palmas. H. NJ Williams of the Phoenix po- lice department purchased the house and lot ', block ?, Evergreen Heights.

NEW SOLAR MOTOR
 BOTH DAY AND NIGHT
New Concern has Been Established
 in Phoenix.

The Southwestern Solar Heater com panv is new concern in Phoenix, es- tablished for the purpose of intro ducing into Arizona the Day and Night Solar Heater the home of which is at Monrovia, California. MT. H. A. Eye is resident manager, and has taken of fees in the National Bank of Arizona building.
 The company plans to make Phoenix headquarters for the state. and as soon as practica bIe- erect a factory here for the manufacture of solar heaters, but for the immediate present to ship their installations here complete from the California house, where a complete manufacturing organization already exists.
 The extremely favorable climate of Arizona, with nearly every day in the year clear and sunny, should make the solar heater a popular adjunct to the home or apartment house, where hot water is in general demand at all times. The heater in question is called the Day and Night" for the reason that it has a packed storage boiler which prevents the heated water from cool ing off during the night, holndig it for morning use. The heating aparatus is a sun coil, covered with glass. which lies on the roof, and through which the water circulates from and to the stOr- age boiler continuously while the sun is shining. When night comes, the small amount of water in the coil at any given time ceoIs, and the circula- tion stops, leaving the hot water in the tank ready to be drawn upon.
 The Day and Night Solar Heater Go. have been manufacturing the Day and Night in California for about three years, during which time they have in stalled their device all over the south ern part of the state very extensively, and the fact that a plant of many times the capacity of the old one is now be- ing completed would indicate that they have permanently solved the hot water problem by means of natural heat.

JOINT CONFERENCE OF
 PHOEHIX BOOST BODIES
Thursday Afternoon Session Of Board
 of Trade and Realty Board.

That nothing is of more immediate interest to Phoenix, now, than the question of winter visitors, is admit ted by all and that Phoenix is going to rise to the occasion this winter as never before is indicated by the fact that the board of trade and the Phoe- nix real estate board have already begun arranging meetings for the discussion of this topic. When the real estate board and the board of trade do a bit of joint meeting something's got to move and in this case it's the problem of taking care of the many people who will drift in to Phoenix to enjoy the unexcelled temperate winter. A meeting has been called for Thursday afternoon at the board of trade Members of both bodies and friends who are in terested in the problem, are asked to attend.
 Another phase of the winter prob lem is the scarcity of homes There has never been a winter yet since the secret of Phoenix climate got out, that there have been enough houses either to rent or sell during the long and enjoyable autumn, winter and spring; consequently the problem is a live one with the real estate men. Aside from what benefit buyers and sellers of houses may gain from the presence here in the winter time, of from four to six thousand transients, there is always that chance of con verting the tourist into a permanent resident and either renting or selling him a home in Phoenix.
 The subject of prices-it has been intimated be fought out at the Thursday meeting. In fact, one of the main purposes of the meeting is to insure against prohibitive charges to the winter and fair week tourists. It is figured that more good can be accomplished by keeping Phoenix prices within reason to the winter visitors than in any other way, for q pleased patron will return and bring others with him.

MORE NEW HOMES
 IN CHELSEA PLACE
One House Designed AIonq New
 Lines.

The early part of the week the
 Home Builders will break ground for
 home built on lines new to Phoe-
 nix. The house will be fifty feet in
 width and will present a beautiful
 effect. The living room extending
 clear across the front to a well pro
 portioned Inglenook with cosy built
 in seats. Special attention will be
 paid to the lighting effect both na-
 tural and artificial The dining
 room and kitchen will be equipped
 with electric connections in the event
 of the owners desiring to do cooking
 by electricity, the kitchen will be off set in order to give as much privacy as possible to the dining room and instead of being placed in the rear as is the usual rule the kitchen will be half way back on one side of the
 house with a side screen sleeping porch, with screen sleeping porches In the rear of the house. The main advantage of this arrangement is that this type of a house gives greater privacy to the screen sleeping porches besides being available for either a corner lot or an inside one It brings the sleeping apartments to- gether and separates them by hall from the parts of the home in com mon use and in the event of sick ness gives the invalid that absolute quietness so necessary to one in ill health. The plans are by l.. V. Ash field the architect of the Home Builders who has designed so many beautiful homes in Chelsea Place and Las Palmas. Work will begin on the Jenner house, Seventh avenue and Portland, the early part of the week. The Home Builders are at work on five houses in Chelsea. Place. The , directors of the Home Builders have decided to raise the price October , lst of the Central avenue lots. Three of the finest homes in Phoenix have been constructed there. There are, five large boulevard lots left.

Enjoyable Time of Three Families in the White MOuntains-All the Fun and All the Money Kept at Home

With the return this week of their families, H. M. Lewis, G. A. McDon- aid and c. w. Peterson, comes a story of great interest regarding scenic Arizona. These three families left on the tenth day of July in three Ford cars. During the summer they covered 1900 miles on Arizona roads They encountered no difficulties at any time; in fact, two of the tires of the car of MT. Lewis contain the same air that was in them when they left Phoenix
 The party took along plenty of hunting and fishing paraphernaIia. and plenty of camp equipment They first went up to the Roosevelt dam and from there over to Globe; then to Rice and on over to the White river near Greer. Arizona Here they established their first camp This was at an elevation of nine thousand feet and all the time they were there the nights were very cold. After a time spent here they traveId on through the White mountains up through the St. Johns country and finally established another camp up on the head waters of the little Colo radO river. Here their hunting and fishing was very good. One day MT. Peterson went up a creek to fish It happened that he did not take a gun along on this fishing trip. While up the creek he espied within twenty yards, a big brown bear He whistI- ed and the bear turned around and walked away. MT Peterson went back to camp, got his gun and after quite a chase, failed to locate the

THIS VALLEY
 IS UNMATCHED
Conclusion of T. NJ. Bur rOughs, Who Has Return ed After a Thorough Tour of the Best California Has to Offer

T. M. Burroughs. of the Burroughs real estate offices, has just returned tc Phoenix after having spent SeV- eIal months in California. Few men have ever spent two months to Gl eater advantage than has MT. Bur foughs. Accompanied by his family he went over to San Diego by way of Yuma, and in the meantime he trav- crScd north and south, east and west throughout the entire stae of Cali fornia MT. Burroughs is extensively interested in property in the Salt River valley and in Phoenix. and it was his desire to thoroughly investi- gate and ascertain what conditions obtain comparatively here and in the much talked of coast towns.
 Going north through California, he took the coast route, and returning the inland route. He saw the various valleys that are being exploited; studied conditions in and about Fres- no, San Jose, Santa Cruz, TurIock Eureka, Sacramento. Ventura, Stock ton, as well as the orange growing districts like Redlands, Riverside, Pomona and Santa Ana Tn no part of the state did he find any farming country that could compare with the Salt River valley No town that he visied compared for it's size with Phoenix in the amount of building construction and public improve mcnts. MT. Burroughs believes more thoroughly than ever that when the people in the state of California be- gin to learn what there is in Phoenix and in Salt River valley, that the present prosperity and growth of the valley will even be greatly increased.
