ROAD WORK |S
 PROGRESSING
Springerville-St. Johns See ton of Apache County Working Out Problems in Fine Shape-Gus Becker Directing Work
BY JAMES A. AYRES

Road work still progresses rapidly in Apache county on the Santa Fe high way. During the month past, the most important improvements have been made on the Springerville-S Johns section. A new road has been laid out and practically completed, from Springerville about half way to St, Johns, where it connects with a new road built out from St. Johns about a year ago. The recent work has been done under the supervision of GustaVe Becker, one of the three men chosen by the people to oversee the expenditure of the $125, ,000 voted Au- gust 3 in this county. Mr Becker has long been a leader in good roads works and has done his work well.
 Although in climbing from St Johns to Springerville there is a gain in ele- Vation of nearly 1900 feet in thirty rive miles, yet this new road at no place has a grade of more than 71a per cent. The old road had maxi mum grade of II per cent. The new road is 16 feet wide at every point, and in the main goes over high land. This

WONDERFUL PROGRESS
 OF TOWN 0F GILBERT

From a little hamlet with but a spur of the railroad to help it along. Gilbert has become so important that the Southern Tacific Railroad com pany has recently built a passenger and freight depot to handle the great increase. of business.
 Surrounded by what is said to be the finest dairying country in the Salt River valley, it ailready has q branch of the Pacific Creamery com pany, a $20,00O school house, three stores, two blacksmith shops, a large hay and grain warehous and a thriv- ing bank.
 But that's not all. Sidewalks are being lad, streets graded, and in ev- cry way this hamlet of yesterday is taking on the airs of a brand new town and putting in the i'm provements and pushing forward this great new farming center.
 Business lots are selling fast, ant so much is every one impressed with the splendid condition of the sur rounding country and the great pros- poets ahead that every. trip to Gill; bert sees new buyer.

has two advantages Tourists can see the scenery better and in wet seasons,
 the road is more easily passed over. These new roads are nearly straight,
 too. From Springerville to part way
 up the hill by Beckers Lake, the old
 roadis followed. But from that point,
 the road is almost straight over roll
 ing prairie, past the Cinder Knoll, to
 Barretts ranch From BarrettS
 ranch again, the road is almost
 straight to the Dugway Hill.' This, it
 descends by graceful curves. But,
 thence on, the road is straight to with
 in five miles of St. Johns. The part
 of this road, completed during the past
 few weeks is especially important be- cause the old road was very rocky near Springerville The new road does away with this entirely. Two bad hills have been overcome by long, easy grades. One on the newer part is at the Cinder Knoll with an incline of ' per cent. The other is on the part completed a year ago at the DugWay Hill and has a grade of 7R per cent.
 More work yet is planned on these roads, although they are easily pass able now. Bids to buy the first $25, 900 of the s125,O0O bond issue are now for, and further work will be done as rapidly as money from sale of these bonds will permit. Better drainage will be prepared all along the road to insure permanence and keep it in the best of condition through all kinds of weather. More bridges will be built and rough and rocky places graded. Much natural road material, as sand and cinders, lie conveniently near. The Cinder Knoll, for instance, would easily cover all roads in Apache Some of it will be used to give the malpais near Springerville a per manent covering.
 Between St. Johns and HolbroOk, new work is either already begun, or soon to commence on much of the

BUILDING ROOM FOR
 OAKLAND DRAWS BUYERS
Large Force Employed Will Soon Have Many Houses Ready
 for Occupants

No spot in Phoenix presents a busier scene than the big tract two blocks north of the state capitol. Con- tractor Cisney has added extra men to his building force and from now on work will be forced to the limit Several of the first houses started are ready for roofing or are being roofed. This coming week the walls will begin to rise on several more. Every Sunday Oakland is visited by large number of prospective buyers and home seekers. This past week sales of lots were made to three in vestors. Two of them intend to build. In each instance the sixty foot width lots with their cement curb walks and other city conven- fences, were regarded as extra good investments. One of the buyers, Mr George B. Mulholland of Minneapolis, said: We have heard so much of PhOe- nix up our way that my wife and I decided on a visit. We arrived here the first of the month and if we had known what a splendid farm country you have we would have been here years ago. We like Minnesota but it's winters are too cold and Phoenix suits us for a winter home. This Oakland lot is my first investment and I am surprised and pleased that was able to get lot so reasonable in price and so close to your beauti- ful state capitol building I shall build home here, and up in the north there are thousands who will do the same as soon as Phoenix's fame and climatic conditions are bet ter known" The house being built by the Home Builders on the southwest corner of Eighteenth avenue and Polk street is attracting much atten- tion It was designed especially for this corner. The drafting depart ment of the Home Builders is pre- pairing plans for another modelled after it. In response to many re-
 quests for information about the re-
 strictions in Oakland: they are briefly 5000 and $2500. No time limit. But one house to a lot and no frame houses allowed The us
 ual distance of building back from the front property line prevails.

THOMAS OFFICE HAS
 MANY BRISK MOMENTS

There were some brisk days in the H. C. Thomas realty office this week and several nice sales have been made and several fine homes are be- ing erected on Thomas Pllce and in Hollywood Heights as a result of the sales. G. D. Crandall, a local con- tractor has just completed two six room modern homes on the popular tract near the Indian school. The lots were purchased from Thomas and the houses built. and sold by Crandall. Grover Hutson and Mrs. Fannie Rueter are the fortunate part ies. Crandall also has material on the ground for a handsome home for J. B. Church in the addition on a lot he recently purchased from the Thomas office. There is growing demand for homes in the Osborn dis trict. Miss Marguerite Wheeler pur- chased Q splendidly located lot in Hollywood Heights this week and MT. Crandall himself purchased a lot in Thomas place.

Building at this time in Phoenix is pretty brisk, according to the amount of work that is being done by C. H. Johnson, one of the local home builders. Building is going or iii every direction and work of ev- cry description is gong on as the accompanying output will show.

A short time ago the lot on which this building is being placed was merely a tract Of unimproved land, a place where circuses and carnivals were wont to hold forth. This build ing, in common with more being erected close by, will all be occupied as soon as completed.
