NEW fEAThfR SHORE
 OPENS WEDNESDAY

The salesroom of the Arizona ostrich farm. os which mention was made few days ago. is now equipped, stocked and about ready for business. It is situated on the corner of Adams and First street, opposite the new Noble building. across the street from the Re- publican office, and will be opened to the public on Wednesday. A hearty welcome will be given all visitors, whether they come to buy or merely to look at the pretty things, whether they come with money in their pockets or with empty purses. for money is the last thing to think about in this coun- try. Most everybody has some of it, and those who haven't any expect to have some pretty soon. The fine thing about it is that in this country money is so cheap and common that it don't cost anything and anybody can get it by just working for it. And every body will buy an ostrich feather when he gets the money. Men buy them for their wives and sweethearts and other peoples sweethearts and wives, and women buy them for themselves if they cant get them any other way.
 The ecu. .oment of this new feather store consists of a large show window on Adams street, an upright show case at the First-street end of the room and two fine double decked show cases on the other two sides of the show room. Behind the one aJ the back end | is a handsome wall case and metal fix | lures are provided for the display of feathers on top of the cases. These show cases came from Los Angeles and are as fine as could be secured | The room is also made comfortable for | lady visitors by rockers and tables from the Bide Wee factory. near Phoenix. well matching the glass cases.
 Tine important thing is the stock. the feathers for the proper display of which all this trouble and expense has been taken. If the reader wants to know what the stock consists of and chances to be a woman all she has to do is to think of anything she ever saw or heard about in the line of ostrich feathers and then be assured that it is there on display. for the stock includes | everything the ostrich feather manu- facturer has yet studied out that a civilized woman covets. These things are there not only in profusion. but in the greatest variety of colors. If the Ostriches on which the feathers grew could only see them they would envy or be too proud to live long.
 They would swell up with pride big ger than camels. They would imagine that they were no longer a common farm animal, but aristocratic members of the bird of paradise family or some bright colored parrot tribe.
 There are fans. plumes, pom poms, boas, stoles, aigrettes, etc. in all col ors. as we'll as white and black. There are also large willow plumes. some in two colors and long enough to hitch a horse with. There is no use trying to describe the feathers in detail for every woman will know more about it than anybody can write about and the men wouldn't know after they had read it so the only thing for all to do is to go and see each for himself. One well known gentleman whose business life is in a line that makes him a connois- seur of such things. and one too who has travelled a little in his day, after looking at the display yesterday said: If this store was on Broadway it would be just it, and if it was in Paris there would be nothing else like .t."
