PAGE SEVEN HI rair BUILT FIRSI BIG. ICE PLANT TITE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY MOANING, MAY Vj, 1915 ROUS LEARN HOW Win a Trip Surprising Fa-t is IJrouulii. Out ;it llotfivv Luncheon That I'Wnix 3Lm Was First in Field of Commer cial lee-inaking Seventy-elht business men of l'hoenix t;atherel at two l'hoenix i e I'lallls yesterday noon to be in structed on the making of ice and to enjoy the hospitality of the hosts, the City lie Delivery company and the Peoples Ice Company. They were the Kolari.ms and their guests. The meeting fully illustrated the rea son why the Kotary luncheons are the big, live features that have he-1 come so popular in that it was in structive and greatly interesting. 1'romptly at :0'i the Kotarians ai.d their Kuests assembled at the City Ice Delivery plant and after an inspection under the leadership of Kred Warren, they rode and march ed in parade vithall the Ice De livery wagons of the company through the town to the Peoples Ice plant on Jackson and Second ave nue. Here under the direction of W. II. Asbury and C. 1. Asbury an in flection was made of the plant and of the various machines . and cie aitrnents in the manufacture of ice. Hie of the lare ice rooms had been converted into an immense din inir room where a splendid dinner was served by the ladies of the christian and the Tolleson churches. The tables were beautifully decorated with flowers and at the head of each were placed two hundred and fifty pound cakes of ice. each con taining an immense bouquet of roses fruzen inside. The meeting whs in charge of Fred Warren. Wm. D. Lount, in a few words, described his beginning: in the ice business in Phoenix. The present City Ice Delivery plant was started in 1S.TS by W. P. fount's f'thor. S. D. Lount. The plant originally was capable of manufacturing one thous and pounds of ice a day. The first summer, it disposed of foi:r to five hundred pounds daily. Thi was largely sold and delivered by Wm. D. I.ount. then a boy, in an old wooden wheelbarrow.- The wheel barrow was used yesterday by Mr. I.i.imt to wheel :i cake of ice. and a Iwimiuet of roses, leading the pro cession through the town. In 1S91 the plant vas enlarged and its capacity increased to fifteen tons per day. If. W. Asbury followed with a talk that was instructive and interesting. He explained that the first i-e fac tory on a commercial basis was established in Chattanooga, Tenn.. on which there was spent something like three million dollars. It is note worthy that S. r. Ixiunt of the City Ice Delivery plant of Phoenix erect ed that Chattanooga plant and man aged it for three years. Few people were aware of the fact that the Phoenix Ice plant and S. D. Iunt were so. closely related to the advent in the world of the manufacture of i ice on a commercial scale. It will lie noted that it was but four years after the first ice 'plant was estab lished in the I'nited States, or in 1N7S that S. D. Lount himself built .at San Francisco an ice making ma chine, sent it here and started busi ness in Phoenix, Arizona. This self same machine was one of the inter 'esting features of the meeting that the Phoenix business men en joyed. I Mr. Asbury went Into detail on the method and system of ice manu facturing. He closed his address jwith words of appreciation of the interest shown by the Hotarians and their guests. Miss Julia Lount Mosher and City , Manager Robert Craig each were 'called upon and said a few words. ! The prizes of the day were awarded I by Hurry M, Blair of the Y M. C. 1 A. and consisted of memberships in , the Y. M. C. A. They were awarded to S. J. Wolf. Howard Hilton and Doctor O'Connell. Announcement was made that the luncheon next Friday would be held 'at the Cafeteria of the Hieh School building, and will be under the direc tion of C. D. Jones.

CUNT CHARGE INTEREST 014 DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS Corporation Commission Acts on Various and Sundry Requests of Tucson Power Company.

Klectrie Light and I'ower company fur permission to charge ten per cent interest on all' accounts not paid at the end of the time prescribed by its rules and regulations. Th- company alleged in its application that it had delin quent accounts on its books to the amount of $40,0u0.

At the Lamara The Saturday attraction at the Lamara theater today is (leorge Kleinds sensational story of an, ad Venture in India, "The Golden Beet le. " This beetle is a jewel of rare price which has excited the supititv of certain sensation seekers and they steal the gem. The troubles that follow them afterward are filled with that mystery with which India is saturated. Surely no one wants to go through such trials as the hero and heroine of this story eneornier for the possession of a mere gem with ancient association no matter what the value. However it shows what some people will do, forced from cupidity and coveteousness. Charlie Chaplin at Empress A hat war the cause of all of the noise last evening on Adams street? It was nothing serious at all. It was only the big crowd of people at. the Kmpress laughing at the world's greatest com edian. Kvcrbody knows who that is, Charlie Chaplin in "The Champion" is surely one of the best mirth producers known at the present time and the peo ple of Phoenix will welcome him again Tor tile next two days. The three part Broadway star feat ure "The silent Plea", not only thrills you with its dramatic power and in tense purpose, but provides food for thought. The story is of a young wioow left penniless with two child ren, unable to support them they are taken from her and placed in an orph anage. (Jiowing entirely away from her good :ifluenee, they become incor rigibles. The little widow desperately appeals to an old friend,, a fifniitor. Her story incites him to an impassioned .speech in tavor of the widowed moth ei's pension bill, which passed and later the widow tinds happiness as the wife of her old friend. These with a Hearst clig News form a very strong well balanced piograni.

Through some piece of ill hick the films did not arrive and another s t of pictures had to be sub stituted.
