NEWS IF WEEK IS ASSURING
Stability and Enhancement of Values Are Considered as Certain to Follow the Most Recent Develop mentS

News developments of the week were especially interesting as applied to val ! ley lands, especially the Washington dispatch telling of the agreement that had been reached between Secretary Lane, officers of the reclamation ser vice, Senator Smith, chairman of the ] committee on irrigation in the senate and Representative Smith, chairman of the same committee in the house. This ! agreement will mean the presentation
 of a bill to extend the time for pay ment of irrigation projects to twenty years from ten and with this agree ment reached there is every reason to expect the passage of such bill at the present session and no reason to anti
 cipate unfavorable action. Long and patient effort on the part of valley water users is therefore near to it's re- ward
 With the clearing of the clouds on
 the project payment there can be noth- ing to retard rapid progress and de- velopment and ranch lands may be soon expected to be in even greater demand than they have ever been befor
 The ruling of the reclamation ser vice for use of Verde water at reduced rates had a further strengthening ten dency on ranch values. With a stead fly mounting water storage at the res ervoir and with the methods that are now in operation to check the waste of the past, there is an assurance of an | l n of f., ing season and confidence is effectuallv restored. With the return of full con fidence and the consequent abatement of such reports as were last year pub lished, derogatory to the success of the
 great irrigation project ranch values are looked upon by those who have studied them to show an early advance.
 As to city property there has been a general interest displayed in the install lation of the Somers system of assess | ment at the full valuation as determ- ined by a committee of representative citizens. This, it is generally believed,
 will have a stabilizing effect on values
 A prospective purchaser of Phoenix real estate whether. residential or business, will not have to depend on his own observations, on the statements | of an interested owner or an agent,
 alone. He will have an appraisement always at hand for his reference and one that was made by residents of the city and persons who we
 tion to know the true value of the purchase which he is contemplating Under these circumstances local sgen-
 cies look to see the field of city realty
 put upon firmer and a sounder basis than has heretofore existed.

The height of this concrete block embank- ment which will take nine years to construct, will be r feet, 9 inches above average highwater mark at Am sterGam and it will be built in water II feet inches in depth below ebb level on an average, and 33 feet in the deepest part, the Amstel channel. The inner, or ZGider Zee, side of the en- bankment will carry a double line of railway and road for ordinary traf- fife. A wide canal will be cut through the east end of Wieringen, with two locks for seagoing traffic and 33 sluice gates for regulating the water level in- side the embankment These sluce gates will make it possible in ordinary circumstances, to keep the water level at about 16 inches below the average high water mark at Amsterdam, where the existing locks will continue to serve as exits. The main embankment will be constructed by first forming an island halfway between Wieringen and Friesland and then building out from the island and the two shores respec- lively. wide opening will be left in each section of the embankment thus formed, to be closed later when the canal and sluice gates on Wieringen are completed. t
 Inside the space enclosed by the em- bankment it is proposed to form four Polders, or reclaimed areas, known as the northwestern, southwestern, south eastern, and northeastern respectively.

WOULD DRAIN

Reclamation of S57 Square Miles of Land Under Water at Cost of SIS, ,750,- 900 and B Years Labor in Holland
(Snecial Cablel


 THE HAGUE, Feb. 21.-A scheme which was first foreshadowed in 1S49 by the engineer Van Diggelen, in a book which attracted much attention at the time will shortly come before the Dutch parliament. In her speech from the throne on September 26 last Queen Wilhelmina announced that a bill would be introduced for the draining of the Builder Zee and the formation of new province of Holland. This proposal involves the reclamation of S15 square miles of the Builder Zee and the conversion ofthe remaining 557 square miles into a fresh water lake. The cost is estimated at $7S,750, ,000, exclusive of interest, and the time required at thirty three years
 The scheme provides for the con- struction of an embankment, 1S.3 miles long from Ewijksluis across the Am stel channel tothe southwest corner of

Extension Will Bring Section Into New Prominence for Home
 Building.

The extension of the street car 1 line a little more than mile east
 of it's present terminus at Eastlake i Park will have the effect of caus-
 ing that end of the city to develop with a greater degree of rapidity than it has heretofore There are
 several pieces of property that will
 be within striking distance of the
 car lines, but many business men in 1 Phoenix, since the order of the cot- poratiOn commission was issued per
 hitting the extension, have been speaking about the good fortune of H. c. Thomas, the well known local realty operator, whose new city ad- dition, Hollywood Heights, will be actually tapped by the improvement.
 The street car line will add to
 the desirability of Hollywood Heights to a great degree. Already there were many good things about the addition that appealed to the home seeker land housebuilder. The property had lefty water and electric lights. The tract is splendidly situated, but with the addition of the rapid transit ser vice to and from the center of the city. it's attractiveness as a home To- Ication is increased several fold. The city will take to growing in that direction if the history of other cities and their street car develop ment is any criterion.
 The class of families more than likely to avail themselves of this tract as a place for a home will be among the most solid citizenry of the whole community. The big Ari
 zona Eastern shops are but a scant half mile distant. making this an ideal location for the home of the mechanics and skilled laborers em- ployed around that sort of an insti- tuition. Such families are more gen
 erally sober, industrious, lawabiding.

 The Thomas Realty company has
 in the past exhibited evidences of masterly forsight in selecting tracts for subdivision into building lots, all of which have been most successful ventures, but indications are and the friends and business associates of

VIENNA, Feb. 21.-Several weeks severe frost has driven wolves from the mountains in many parts of Austria.
 Only fifty miles from Vienna. near Oedenburg, on the Hungarian frontier, a carriage was pursued for miles along the forest road by a small pack The driver at length managed to shoot one with a revolver, whereupon the others desisted from further pursuit to de- your their fallen comrade.
 The countryside then collected for a drive, in which seventeen wolves were seen, twelve of which were killed.
