WILL LAY TWO
 MILES CEMENT
Big Contract for Curb and Walks in Oakland Tract Goes to Cement Work CTS Concrete Company of Phoenix

One of the largest and longest sidewalk ever given in the city of Phoenix. amounting in all to about one and three-quarter miles, was awarded lately to the Cement Work CTS Concrete company. by Greene X Griffin. The work will be done in the new Oakland tract recently oTened by that firm.
 With the completion of the con- crete work, at the end of about two months time. the Oakland tract will
 be one of the largest and best fitted subdivisions in the southwest. The improvements in curbing and side walks will be followed by the in stallation of sewer, electric lights and gas, and by the building of or the new tract.
 \ number of attractive designs for the pergola entrances have been submitted to the firm, and the one selected will give Oakland that dis tinctive appearance in keeping with it's improvements and surroundings
 In fact, it is planned to make Oak land a residential park.
 | The Balm of Gilead trees recently paced in the parkings of the district have already begun sproutng their i leaves. and since they are one of
 the fastest growing species of trees
 known, it will not be long before the 1 district is more than well supplied with shade. There is considerable
 work remaining on the rolling of the caliche roads which have been Iaid
 ir the tract. but they will be in the
 best of condition at the end of the
 time which will elapse prior to the
 completion of the curbing and side l walks.
 Since the announcement that Phoe- nix is to have a through main line
 railroad in the next year and a half, the lots in the Oakland tract seem
 to have gone faster than at any one l period in their earlier history. In , the week just past there have been }aVerages of several sales in the tract
 each day. It seems that real estate values and sites have already taken 1 a boost in response to the announce
 ment of the approaching railroad 1 The improvements which have been ] in course of making for the last
 month are attracting the favorable
 attention of the many homeseekers 1 who are coming to Phoenix, and the attractive offers made by the Home
 Builders for new residences in this addition. and the other Greene &.
 Griffin tracts. are drawing the at tention of several of the old as well as the new residents

as well as by the larger producer.
 In the small patch in a back yard where the family and the o%ner takes a special interest in his crop there is an opportunity for competition against the farmer who has several acres to watch, which should give him a wide margin and which should throw several of the prizes offered in the coming fair to the city man.
 However the greatest opportunity for the city and small raiser, is in the early fruits, such as plums, april cots, and grapes of the Thompson seedless and mission varieties. Little time and care need be taken of the vines and trees of these varieties al ready in the yards of the owners, and the careful watching of the fruit. with little water, is about all ne cessary to insure exhibits from nearly every home in the city and valley.
 For the Farmer Boys
 It is likely the merchants will take special interest and care to see that the farmer boys are well cared for in their part of the exhibit It may be provided by the institute, under whose auspices the exhibit is held, that the products of the boys be shown in a different division, and that separate contests be held for the youth of the valley farms.
 At the last meeting of the NJ. & M. it was decided that a committee be appointed to cooperate with the in stitute for the success of the fair, and that another committee be ap pointed to look after the awarding of prizes to worthy fellows of the val lev in corn, milo. and like contests.
 The prizes which will be offered by the NJ. X NJ. will be such as will

REAL ESTATE
M'CABE RET|RES FROM
 UNION REALTY FIRM
Real Estate Man Thinks He Will Try Farming, and Goes Out to Glen
 dale to Be Ready for Spring.

F. M. McCabe has sold his interest in the Union Realty company to his partner, MT. Hartman, and has re- tired to his ranch.
 This was one of the most interest ing developments of the real estate world last week. MT. McCabe is one of the successful ranch land dealers, and has been associated with MT Hartman for some time in the realty business.
 Owning a 160-acre ranch near Glendale, and having decided that he had had enough of city life for awhile, the retiring partner found himself in a very favorable position to let go. He will start getting his land into crops for the spring and summer, right away. Cotton will be one of his principal crops.
 For the present. friends of the McCabes may reach them through Phone S596.

classes, and other such work will have it's place in the lists, and like they have arranged to do for the boys, the merchants will offer rrizes for the best work the girls produce.
 Past Fairs
 There have been two fairs in the past two years, each one coming in the middle of the month of July, as it is arranged this fair shall come. Each of those fairs was a success from every angle. There were hun dreds of exhibits, and hundreds of exhibitors, and the visitors tu the booths arranged in the open air, about the city hall far exceeded the numbers expected
 and This Fair
 With the interest which is already developed in the fair this year maong the merchants and the citizens of Phoenix, and with the greater in terest which the last successes have inspired in the farmers, there is no , reason why the 1914 mid summer fair of the county should not be the greatest in the history of the state. Besides there are other things to add to the interest of the fair The , new or practically new crops of the valley make competition and raise in terest in comparative results between the farmers. The citizens of. the valley are anxious to know if cotton will be a bowling success or partial one Everyone would like to see d sample of feterita, a new corn to the Salt River Valley, and which proimses to take the place of sev- eral other varieties.
 New and original ideas have sprung up every day on the farms. The farming cult of the valley like to eX- change ideas and methods. The fair affords that chance when they all meet at the booths about their com petitive exhibits. They meet, become better acquainted. and add to the show year by year, with the result that this is better than last. and that the next year fair will probably eX- ceed this in scope, interest and suc- coss -- sA

NEW ADDITION
 IS CLOVIS PLACE
Just Outside the City East on Van
 Buren Street

Clovis Place" is the latest addi- tion to the many new and attractive subdivisions that offer medium priced building lots. Located on Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, and bounded on the south by Van Buren street, it is just outside of the city limits. On the ocean to-oce highway" and in q rapidly developing section, there is no reason why the Kellogg Weldon Company, which is putting Clovis Place" on the market should have any difficulty in disposing of the limited number of lots it comprises. The streets are graded, the tract has city water and electricity is avail able.
 There have been many changes and improvements made in the east side recently, and the development of this tract will be another boost for the district.

 The University of Arizona has al ready done some work toward in teresting the youth of the valley in the farms, and toward making up farm clubs. With the added attention of the M. & NJ. and with the at traction of the prizes which the fair will offer it is likely that the young sters will take all the interest of a grown farmer in his acre or more and will produce crops and exhibits equal to those of the older heads
 There is one other element which will benefit the youth in their con- test. That is the course offered in practically every high school in the valley in agriculture. It is a short course to be sure, but it is one in tended to interest the youth in what can be done with land and water, and which will have a marked in fluence on the future farmers of Arizona.
 For the Farmer Girls For the girls who have lived on the farms. who live on the farms or may live on the farms, there has also been suggested a contest. It is proposed to make a separate division of their products and to confine them to the work of the domestic science department.
 The work which they learn in the kitchen at home and at the high schools of the county will have a place. As in the state fair they had cases of cakes, cookies, pies, biscuits, and other delicate cooked foods, cases of preserved fruits and vegetables, so they will arrange most probably for the county midsummer show.

IN The WORLD OF SPORT
PAT PAGE IN FOR
A SEVERE PANNING

Chicago, Jan. 29.-Are the Maroons
out of the running for the conference
basketball honors? asks a writer in
The Inter-Ocean.
This was the one big question which
confronted the Midway followers Of
the king of indoor sports after their
favorites had been handed a defeat by
the champion Badger five. To see the
Maroons fall before Coach MeanWelTs
pupils was indeed a severe sting, but
nobody disputes Wisconsin's right to
a victory. The better team won.
Coach Page was the object of much
criticism from the manner in which
he handled his men. There is no Dues
ton but Page did the best he could.
The real trouble with the Maroons
dates further back than Saturday. One
can hardly blame any of the South
Side followers from becoming peeved,
however. after knowing how bright the
Maroons' prospects were at the OPEN
ing Of the season and then to see what
a miserable showing they made. With
one or two exceptions the Maroons
proved that they either did not under
stand the game or that they had be-
come stale.
Which reason is correct nobody is in
position to say. but anybody could see
that there was something radically
wrong. With the opening of basket
ball practices this year the Maroons
were never known to have better
chances to weather the season without
defeat. More than a dozen huskies
reported to Coach Page, and as the
majority Of them were members of the
championship football team there
seemed no question as to their ability
to execute team work. Their physical
condition was all but perfect, and
nothing seemed to be lacking except
a little training in shooting baskets.
To see the Maroons at that time and
then in their encounter with the Bad
gers one would have to have the imag-
lnation of a Sherlock Holmes to be-
jieve his own eyes.
There are three points of the game
which from all indications, are beyond
the Maroons Of today. First, they lack
teamwoyk-and with this would some
the other two accomplishments, pass
ing and dribbling. The game with the
Badgers should have been a lesson to
the Midwayites, as Coach MeanwelPs
athletes had these departments down
from A to z.
Where the Maroon rooters found the
most fault with Coach Page was in the
manner he lined up the team.

Ing the prize winners was unique, but
very satisfactory. Mr.. Post first ad-
vertised the prizes and furnished de-
tails as to the lesson the picture should
teach. These preliminary sketches
were asked to be filed by all COMPETE
tors by Sept. I, 1918.
From the scores Of sketches received
there were selected the work Of six
artists asking them to compete with

PREACHER WAS
WAR GENERAL
REV. ROBERT N. ADAMS, WHO
SPEAKS IN FIRST PREsBYTER-
IAN CHURCH SUNDAY, CON-
MANDED BRIGADE IN sHER-
MANS MARCH TO THE SEA.

The announcement that Rev. Robert
N. Adams, D. D., is to be the speaker
at the First Presbyterian church next
sunday Will come as pleasant news to
a large circle Of friends and ~acquaint-
ances in Fargo and vicinity, as DR..
Adams Is we'll and favorably known,
especially among his old comrades Of
the u. A. r., with whom he Is a spe-
cial favorite.
DR.. Adams is one of the few clergy
men in this country who served in
the rebellion, At the breaking out Of
the war he was a student at Miami
university; along with a large mum
Der of other students he volunteered,
and showing an aptitude for military
work he was speedily advanced to
colonel Of his regiment. He was brevet-
ted brigadier general for bravery and
effective service, commanding a bril-
gade in Sherman's march to the sea.
On being discharged from the serv-
ice at the end of the war he resumed
his college studies and soon after en-
tered the ministry Of the Presbyterian
church, occupying several important
pulpits, among his nearby charges
having been Fergus Falls, MINI. He
became noted for his administrative
capacity in church affairs and because
of this was made synodical missionary
for the Presbyterian church in Mime
sofa, which post he filed ~acceptably
for twelve years, resigning to become
field secretary for the northwest.
Three years ago DR.. Adams was
made field secretary emeritus and in
that capacity does only occasional
pulpit work. He is a brilliant speak, |
er, unusually effective n we'll in
formed and popular wherever he ap-
pears. AS he is one of the few living
civil war generals now living, he will
undoubtedly prove an attraction to a
large number of the veterans in this
vicinity when he speaks Sunday at the |
Presbyterian church.

Ad Wolgast will suffer the fate of
Packey Mcfarland at the hands Of
the Wisconsin Boxing commission will
be decided on Saturday when VOL
CAST will appear before the commission
in person to answer the charges that

Both Hit in clinches.
According to members Of the COM
mission, Wolgast failed to follow the
rule of clean breaks, and several times
hit his opponent coming out OF the

was guilty Of the same offense, and
thinks that the Mexican should also
be punished. if anything is done in
his case.
