IMPORTANT CHANCE
 IN REALTY CIRCLES
D. w. Hall Disposes of Interest in Avondale Ranch and A. |. L. C.

One of the recent important changes in local realty circles is the disposal by D. w. Hall of his interests in the AvondaIe ranch and the Arizona Irri- gated Land CO. to Walter o. Hill of Chicago and P. s. Gentleman of River side, Cal. The company was organized last year by Mr. Hall to take over the 5000 acre Avondale ranch, in the Agua F'ria section, since which time a large amount of development work has been done and considerable acreage disposed of to California ranchers and fruit growers. The company has just com pleted the installation of one of the largest pumping plants in the state, furnishing 5000 gallons of water min ute; the new plant consisting of Byron Jackson vertical centrifugal pump operated by one of the new type oil burning twin cylinder vertical Fair banks Morse engines operating on hops and other low grade fuels which make it possible to irrigate cheaply by pump ing. The development work started by Mr. Hall will be carried out by Messrs Hill, Castleman and associates and the Avondale district promises to become an important region.
 MT. Hall retains the offices at 21 North First avenue ana Tn addition 10 acting as selling agent for Avondale ranch lands, will handle lands under the Roosevelt system as well as busi- ness and residence property in Phoenix. At present he has charge of the de- velopment for California clients of the Randolph Steinfeld- Cough Syndicate tract, eleven thousand acres lying north of the Buckeye canal One well is now down 450 feet and other wells will be sunk at various places on the tract with a view of later on subdi- viding and selling in small tracts. Mir Hall has spent the last three years in California in charge of the advertising and sales of the Chandler ranch and Avonda1e ranch lands and states that he finds an active demand for cheap lands which can be developed and irri- gated by pumping. He had decided to make Phoenix his headquarters this winter and with his California associ- ates will do business under the firm name of D. w. Hall 6. Co, maintain ing a number of live agencies in Cali fornia to attract land seekers to the Salt River Valley

HALFORD AND CARTER
 ARE DOWN ID WEIGHT
Boxers Preparing to End Training for
 Friday Nights Bout.

With both the boxers down to weight and jogging easily along the last lap of the training road, the Welterweight bout, set for Friday night begins to loom large in Phoenix pugilistic circles. Sailor Max Halford, the young con- queror of F. Daly, is now weighing right around IA. A visit to c. Mem sie's institution will quickly rid him of the extra two pounds. Sailor has been working hard training both in the gym and on the track.
 Carter started to work as soon as he hit town, working out in the fire house hall where he was seen by over a hundred interested fans yesterday. Young, clean cut, merry of face, Carter represents the better sort of boxer. Like Halford, he is of good habits, fact that puts a lot of punch into his good right arm.
 Joe Levy, the manager of Jose Rivers the Mexican lightweight and of Carter, will arrive from Los Angeles today Levy is one of the well known fight promoters of the Pacific Coast.
 Carter is Portuguese and Spanish; Halford, Scotch-Irish and English. The Kid is one inch shorter than the Sailor and a few months older Carter has fought ? fights and lost ?. Ealford has engaged in 14 fights and lost none.

gently authorized the creation of 2. special commission to study the var iouS systems of rural credit which have been put into operation in Eur Ope, and this commission is already prepared to report Its report ought to make 1t easier for us to determine what methods will be best suited to our own farmers. I hope and believe that the committees of the senate and house will address themselves to this matter with the most fruitful results, and I believe that the studies and re- gently formed plans of the department of agriculture may be made to serve them very greatly in their work of framing appropriate and adequate leg
 islatiOn. It would be indiscreet and presumptuous in anyone to dogmatize upon so great and many sided question, but I feel confident that common counsel will produce the re- suits we must all desire.
 Turn from the farm to the world of business which centers in the city and in the factory. and I think that all thoughtful observers will agree that the immediate service we owe the business communities of the country is to prevent private mOnoply more effectually than it has vet been pre- vented. I think it will be easily agreed that we should let the Sher man antitrust law stand unaltered, as it is, with it's debatable ground about it. but that we should as much possible reduce the area of that de- batable ground by further and more explicit legislation; and should also supplement that great act by legisla ton which will not only clarify it but also facilitate it's administration and make it fairer to all concerned.

 Head hunter Paul Derkum, the rac- ing motorcyclst, has turned man. seeker. It is not the homo criminis that Derkum is busca-ing so assid- uously, but a lost resident of Oak land, Cal. The man is w. l.. Mayfield, a wealthy retired merchant. It seems that he may have fallen into evil hands in Mexico. At any rate, this is one of the suppositions concerning his mysterious disappearance three weeks ago Mrs Mayfield who lives at 2008 Crosby avenue in Upper Fruitvale, is in a state bordering on nervous pros tration through anxiety caused by her husbands disappearance.
 An attempt has been made to get into communication with Paul Lind ley of Los Angeles, whom Mayfield was presumably to meet in the South ern California city when he left his home in Fruitvale, but the police can locate none of that name Mrs. May field thinks her husband might have gone to Mexico where he had prop erty which he wanted to dispose of owing to the unsettled condition in that country. In that event, she con siders it not unlikely that Mayfield has met with foul play.
 Nayfield recently lost $18,000 owing to the failure of a theatrical concern in San Diego, and this. his wife thinks, preyed on his mind.

No doubt we shall all wish, and the country will expect, this to be the central subject of our deliberations during the present session: but it is a subject so many-sided and so de serving of careful and discriminating discussion that I shall take the liber ty of addressing you upon it in q special message at a later date than this. It is of capital importance that the business men of this country should be relieved of all uncertainties of law with regard to their enterprises and investments and a clear path in dicated which they can travel without anxiety. It is as important that they should be relieved of embarrassment and set free to prosper that pri- vate monopoly should be destroyed. The ways of action should be thrown wide open.
 I turn to a subject which I hope can be handled promptly and without serious controversy of any kind. I mean the method of selecting nom inees for the presidency of the United States. I feel confident that I do not misinterpret the wishes or the eXpec- tatiOns of the country when I urge the prompt enactment of legislation which will provide for primary cleo tions throughout the country a which the voters of the several parties may choose their nominees for the presi- dency without the intervention of nominating conventions. I venture the suggestion that this legislation should provide for the retention of party conventions, but only for the purpose of declaring and accepting the verdict of the primaries and form ulating the platforms of the parties; and I suggest that these conventions
