UNITED CIGAR STORE
TO OPEN ITS DOORS
IN THIS Cm TODAY
Coming to Phoenix Trith a national
reputation, the United Cigar stores
will open their first branch store la
Arizona today. This firm needs no
introduction here for they are known
wherever biff business atx" rds and
their arrival In Phoenix heralds the
recognition of this city as one -worth
of harboring a branch of one of the
biggest businesa concerns in the coun
try. I
Location has always been the lead
Ins factor in establishing a branch of
the United Cigar stores, and in ac
cordance -with this idea, they have se
cured one of the best sites in town.
It has always been recognixed that the
center of the business district ot
Phoenix is at Central avenue and
Washington street.
The United Cigar stores has secured
this site at a large outlay of money
and Is paying a record rental for the
rmall amount of space secured at this
central point of business. For the past
month contractors have been busy day
and night, changing the front of the
building and turning the corner into
an attractive borne for this company.
In 1901 the first United Cigar store
was opened and today there are more
than 1100 stores in over 400 leading
cities. The business of the United
Cigar stores aggregates $72,000,000 an
nually and the sales of cigars total
more than 400.000.000 a year.
wherever United Cigar stores are
established they become a vital part of
the community. contributing their
share of local pride and bearing thir
share of local taxes and wages. The
working principle of this company is
eitirely new. the system being to pass
the output of a dozen great factories
direct to the consumer without the
usual "in between" profits and ex
penses which are a part of the ordi'
nary business plan.
Their system of obtaining competent
employes is also recognied as a model
one in view of the fact that they have
been, very successful in securing a high
type of employe. Every employe ot
this company is bonded and every
chance given to work up to a position
of trust and responsibility. Many em
ployes of this va.st organization are
stockholders in the company due to
the system of operation.
Edward Raf Snyder, general super
intendent for the Pacific coast, and
George E. Rnth. district sales man
ager for southern California, two of
the heads of this organization, will be
' present at the opening today as well
as .Mr. "White, in charge of the real
estate division of this company.
The new store will be in charge of
Thomas M. Pinck, who will be assisted
by "William C. Hasbrouck and a corps
of competent clerks. Mr. Pinck comes
from ijong Beach, where he recently
opened a store for this company. He
has worked for the company for many
years, principally in Virginia and in
Washington, D. C.

place Wednesday evening when for
more than an hour the rain fell in tor
rents, accompanied by vivid lightnlnc

for several hours a stream of water
about 10 feet wide and three feet deep.
The water did considerable damage
south of town by washing over fields,
washing out roads and trees. A horse
belonging to Louis Olgien became
bogged and before he could be gotten
out, the wash which comes from 25
to 80 miles further south, came down
and the horse was drowned. Two other
horses are missing and it is thought
that they also have been drowned.

TO TEST STATE
FOR SODIUM SAITS
A contract was concluded yesterday
between the state land department and
President W. B. Roberts of the West
ern Chemical company of Tonopah,
Nev for experimentation with a tract
of between 300 and 400 acres of land
along the Verde in Yavapai county for
the development of sodium salts.
Mr. Roberts brought this matter to
the attention or the land board at the
last meeting on July 20. and since then
it has been hanging fire. But a con
tract was drawn up and signed by him.
Yesterday it was signed on behalf of
the board. Under its terms the land
will be leased to Roberts at a rental
of $50 during the prospector's stage,
and when production begins this con
tract shall cease to be of errect. dui
will be succeeded by an operating li
cense under which the state shall re
ceive 12 per cent of the products of
the enterprise.
An investigation of that country In
the same eeneral neighborhood as the
famous Soda Springs has been maae
by Mr. Roberts and he declares that
there are extensive deposits over
broad territory. Whether development
in commercial quantities is possible is
yet to be determined.
Mr. Roberts was Informed by tele
graph yesterday that the contract had
been signed.- It is understood that the
sinking of test wells will be begun at
once.

E TO E1LARCE
LEGISLATIVE CHAMBER
AT THE STATE HOUSE
The movement of the offices of tr.e
state land commissioner from tbe
chamber of the house c representa
tive and the two larger wmmittee
rooms to the bungalow In te south
west corner of the Capitol ground? will
be begun on September 6. This bung-
one hundred thousand acres. Most of
them have been found to b feasible
and already have been financed, and
are already taking shape.
So much has been done that those
who are familiar with what has been
accomplished believe that the surface
has yet been only scratched.
a c v, winch was built for the commit
tee on state institutions and later was
occupied by the 6tate engineering de
partment, will furnish ample room for
the land commissioner's office.
An early movement is made at the
EV.Rgf-stion of Secretary Bennett of the
committee on state institutions who
yesterday notified the commissioner
that there would have to be some re
modeling of the house for the accom
modation of the larger number of rep
resentatives who will be elected next
November under the districting act.
Just how many more members there
will be i's not quite known, but it is
certain that there will be at least four
mure and po.ssibly six, the number in
creasing every two years with the
growth of population. This county will
increase its membership of the house
by three; Pima county will add one
and Cochise probably will furnish one
more.
But a single member added to the
house would serve to crowd it, for it
had already carried all the traffic
would bear. The members have been
crowded uncomfortably close. How the
chamber is to be extended has not been
decided, but it may be done by an,' ex
tension of it to the south, involving
the setting of the doors back and di
viding each of the larger committee
rooms by carrying the present lines
of the chamber back, leaving on each
side a committee room of the same (
width as the smaller ones now on .each
side of the chamber.
With the chamber so extended tjiere
would be a lighting problem to. be
solved unless the south side of the gal
lery should also be carried back. ,r But
all this is the business of the archi
tect. September is chosen as the dae of
the hegira for the reason that it ' will
be I.abor nay. followed by another
holiday September 7. the date of the
state primary election.
