VACARIES OF SMOKERS,


Queer Tastes aud Fads OF Men Who
Know What They Want
"It's a queer fact" said a Broadway
cigardea.er to a New York World re-
porter. "how tastes differ in the matter
of smoking materials. really believe
no cmoker enjoys trying a new brand
of tobacco and that solid contentment
is only secured when the smoker has
become thoroughly used to some paric
ular brand.
One of my customers. wealthy

high grade cigars. always smokes sto-
gies himself AND carries supply in his
pocket for emergency. I have seen him
when treated to a genuine perfecto sly

can only afford small sum for his
tobacco, smokes but one cigar a day,
and that a choice one. He declares
that no other kind will satisfy him,
and that one good smoke after dinner
Is worth six cheap cigars spread over
the day. Some cigarette smok-
ers, who can afford to buy
the best. always ask for par
ticular brand of fve-cent vari-'

toner insists that i send to Texas for
a special five-cent cigar that is made
in Fort Worth. He has tried about ev-
erything in my stock, but can't find
anything that Dleases him. He lived
for several. months in Texas and s6t
so used to the particular flavorins used
in that cigar that he is almost as ba!
as morphine fiend when the supply
has given out. or course there is
great variety Of tobacco grown and this
gives much choice for individual tastes
but the fact remains that q smoker Will

SIMPSONS NEW ORGAN
II Will Be One Of the Finest OF
the Coast
Put In Place and Heard the Latter
Part of This nonth

1t is matter for congratulation to lovers
of organ music in general, and to the con-
gregation of the Simpson Tabernacle in
particular that about March 18th a very
fine organ, larger by several hundred pipes
than any in Los Angeles will be shipped
from Boston, Mass, to this city. Every
body knows the spacious dimensions and
the superior acoustic properties of Simp
son Tabernacle. 1t is also known that
ever since the church was built, it has
been the desire and intention of pastor
and congregation to have at some time an
organ that was suitable for it. The time
has now arrived. For several months
committee has been at work looking up
the matter of organs and organ builders,
and finally an order was sent to George
s. Hutchins, the famous organ builder of
Boston, to supply the need. A recent
letter from him to the committee having
the matter in charge stated that the organ
was finished, that it was considered to be
one OF the best in the country, that the
case or it is now being finished and in
less than month it will be here and in
its place in the Tabernacle.
With the realization of their hopes so
near at hand, a committee of twelve has
been appointed with a smaller executive
committee to arrange for very elaborate
organ concert at the Tabernacle, which
will be given as soon as practicable after
the organ is in place-probably about
April 23d. The committee in charge of
this concert are: Mesdames 1. n. Van
Nuys, f. I. Spence, 5. c. Hubbell r. Nj.
Widney, Messrs. w. G. Patterson, j. f..
Murray, George s. Cochran and r. NJ.
Widney.
Professor H. ]. Stewart of San Francisco
has been engaged to preside at the organ
for this and ha will yiv a al

Mr.. and Mrs. Modini Wood, who each sing
solo and also duet together. Mr. and
Mrs. Wood are enthusiastically interested
and are already selecting the music for
their numbers.
England where he was for years Doctor
OF Music. He stands in the front rank of
organists and is a master in his profession.
His pedalling and execution, as well as
his artistic Interpretation and general
musicianly excellence, have won for him
high place in England as well as
America. For the last ten years Mr.. Stew
art has occupied a prominent place in the
best musical circles OF San Francisco. and
he is a composer of some note.
The knowledge that there is as fine an
organ in the city as this new one prom.
ises to be will undoubtedly give an
impetus to the study of organ music here,
and since some of the greatest and finest
music ever written has been composed
for that wonderful instrument, the men,
bers of the congregation of Simpson Tab

and energy necessary to possess them

complimented for their efforts, but should

ment OF a grateful public in adding to the
city what it has sadly needed for long
time.

mo cut on our line" mo cut on

Fe and Southern Pacific, daily, yet both
roads are cutting rates more and more
every day by the rebate system. They
cannot always bushwhack, nor can the
passenger agents always throw up both
hands and cry mot guilty" when asked
about the fares. The war is not coming
1T is on; but the one thing needed to
make it helpful to Southern California is
an honest, open, advertised cut that all
the people will know about. That such a
cut must come all the railroad men out
side of the big passenger agents admit,
but when it will come is a matter of con-
lecture. 1t is safe to predict that by March
18th the posters will be out announcing
reduced fares to the Coast. A party was
sent East yesterday by one of the lines
at cut rate that when the rebate checks
come in or someone in the party tells
about it, will cause howl. 1t was no lit
tie 2.50 drop, but the whole floor fell
out. A day or two more and the fun
will be lively locally. The ticket scalpers
shudder when the rate war is mentioned.
They know that an all-round cut means
no business for them, SO they are making
hay while the sun shines and rushing
things on the street.

Phoenix, March IA special train
bringing Colonel D. B. Robinson, vice.
president ofethe Santa Fe system, Frank
Murphy, president of the San Francisco,
Prescott and Phoenix; Superintendent
Wells of the Atlantic and Pacific system,
Judge Sterry solicitor, and other visitors
arrived today and were conducted to the
executive mansion, where they were
greeted by Governor Hughes, the Mayor,
City Council of Phoenix and large con-
course of prominent citizens.
Mayor Monihon presented Colonel Rob-
inson with golden key of the city, with
a short address from the city authorities,
stating the appreciation of his efforts and
success in unlocking our gates to the outer
world, and we entrust this key of our
beautiful city to you, feeling confident
that we could not choose a more worthy
custodian.
Colonel Robinson replied in a short ad-
dress, congratulating the people of the
Salt River Valley that the road had been
successfully constructed to this point, and
that the building OF this line had always
been his pet scheme; that no one was
more pleased than he with the success
thus far achieved, and referred to the
wonderful possibilities of climate, soil and
mineral wealth of this region.
Governor Hughes then welcomed Colonel
Robinson and his party to the freedom of
the Territory, stating that the golden key
would open the door, not only to the won
derful gold, silver and other metallic
treasure of Arizona, but to the agrcul-
tural and horticultural resources Of our
valleys, and would also open the door to
all homes and the hearts OF every citizen
of the Territory in which he and his road
builders would meet with most grateful
welcome, for the work was accomplished
during the most trying times in the finan-
cial history of this country. The party was
driven through the city this evening and
later on banqueted.

Mr.. Arbuckle will remain several days in

is looking over the ground in the interest

arrangements for the comfort and con-
venience OF their patrons.

Now is the time for Eastern parties To-
eating In Southern California to ship
their household goods hither. The cut
made recently by the steamship and rail
road companies on such freight via Gal
weston has been met by the Santa Fe and
the rate is now only $1.10 per hundred
from Philadelphia, New York and other
points. through to Los Angeles. Car load
lots OF twenty tons are handled through
for 1920.
Just at present considerable anxiety is
prevalent among railroad men regarding
the scarcity of refrigerating cars. 1t looks
as II car famine was imminent. Owing
to the heavy shipments recently made OF
fruit to the East Il great number of these
cars are either waiting to be unloaded at
their destination on en- route There is a
full supply OF ventilatng cars on hand
but the weather so far has been lnfavor-
able to their use. Ii the weather does not
moderate within Il few days to such an
extent that these ventilating cars can be
brought into use, the shipments of fruit
East will be considerably reduced, be-
cause only rcfrigeratlIg ones can be en-
ployed, and it will not be possible to OBJ
tain them in sufficient numbers to supply
the demand. Reports of moderating
weather between here and Chicago will
therefore be anxiously watched for by
railroads having large fruit shipments on
hand for transportation.
