His Payroll Grew,


 Here his payroll grew until It num- berec its present i.000 names Here. too. grew the facilities for turning out shoes in unparalleled numbers-about lI.so0 pairs day being the capacity now. In the iobbing house alone a half million pairs of shoes are carried at all times in stock.
 The factory-or factories. for there are two Of them practically joined un- der one series of roofs-cover as much space as the walls of an ancient city, and are arranged in rectilinear lines, with wide-reaching wings, like enfilad- ing earthworks.
 The man who employed newspaper ad- vertising as the magic wand to raise this mighty structure from the earth still works as hard. in his own way. as did the seven-year-old carrier of wood and pegger of shoes. Outside office hours he is of simple. domestic tastes. his one rich mans amusement" taking the form of frequent cruises on his big steam yacht. the Machigonne. He has found time. too, as all New England knows, to make a decided im- pression in the field of politics. A stanch Democrat, he has served in both houses of the State Legislature. framed the arbitration and weekly pay- ment laws. was Mayor of Brockton in 1890. and has four times been chosen as delegate to the national conventions.
 His victorious campaign for the Gov ernorship of Massachusetts was such as to awaken national interest. Through out his term of Governor he conducted his great personal business interests as well as those of the State in such q way that neither suffered from inatten- tion. His wide use of newspaper ad- vertising during the Gubernatorial con- test was one of the most striking feat ures Of the campaign and contributed in no light measure to his triumph.
 Why a man like Douglas. having made such giant strides in the world of business, should have sought the Gov ernorship was a puzzle to many. And not a few wondered that he was not satisfied with the success he had al. ready won.
 But the man who Is satisfied with sucs cess would be satisfied with failure. do not think William l.. Douglas would be satisfied with either.

actually possess. An article must have meri.-real merit-and its proprietor must fight. every minute, to keep the quality high. Success must not lure him into letting up. one atom. on high quality. If he does, in the course Of time he will lose. Some people get to making money fast. Then they think they can lower the quality (and. inci- dentally. the cost of production). and make more. I have made more be- cause my goods are worth more.
 Tt is a strange fact that fully two- fifths of the shoes sold throughout the entire week are sold on Saturday. Whether because that is pay day or merely because it is a favorite shop ping day I don't know. but the fact remains. and We regulate our adver- Using accordingly: making IL heaviest toward the latter part of the week. Of course. with a magazine (published only once a month) this would be in- practicable.
 The Douglas shoe is sold all over the United States and also has a large sale in Canada and Mexico. besides having created more or less of a European de- mand. I employ i.OoO persons in making and selling my shoes. and I own and operate seventy retail shoe stores in the large cities. The vast area covered by my dealers renders 1t all the more nec- essary for me to use local newspapers from one end of the land to the other toIadvertise my shoes. and made 1t the more needful for me to study out care fully just what would be the best me- dium through which I might reach the people at large"
 Concerning those +.0o0 employees whom Mir. Douglas so casually men, tioned. an entire article of more than common interest might be written. They form a sort of Utopian community whereof he is the head. At his expense all of them are provided with medical care in illness. and they are In other ways made to feel his personal interest in them.
 The labor question assumes none of its harsher features in the Douglas plant. By special agreement between the proprietor and his workmen, all differences. so far as possible. are mu- tually adjusted. Those which cannot be thus disposed of will by common consent be submitted to the State Board of Arbitration and Cancellation, that body's decision to be binding on both disputants.
 In this way strikes and lockouts are unknown among the Douglas workmen. and the pleasantest feeling has always existed between employer and em- ployed.
 Since the beginning of his first cam- paign Of newspaper advertising. in 1883. Mir. Douglas has gradually but steadily become known to nearly every one in America. The face that looks out from the diamond-shaped frame in his ad- vertisements Is familiar to all. Yet the face that accompanies this article gives a far more accurate idea of the Will liam L. Douglas of to-day. The char acter reader may peruse there the rea- sons why lowly start in life had no power to check this mans rise.
 By judicious newspaper advertising Douglas quickly ''outgrew" factory after factory until. in 1892, he erected the huge works now in use at Montello, just out of Boston.

DAILY BULLETIN OF
FAIR ACTIVITIES
All in Readiness For Mineral Exhibits
Ooble's String Arrives-Free Amuse-
ments-SpeciaI Days.

The time of year has come when
there is always something doing worth
talking about in connection with prep
arations for the fair. Thursday Bud
Doble's string of eight race horses ar
rived, including the famous Kinney Lou
trotting stallion 200 1-2.
Epes Randolph, who has charge Of
the department of mines, has J. c.
Goodwin at work overhauling the pres
ent exhibit and cleaning up and re-
arranging for the fair. He is now
ready for all the new exhibits that San
be secured and requests mine owners
and operators generally to get their
specimens together and forward them
at once. 1t is the wish of Mr.. Good
win to get them all i'm by the first of
the month so he can get the display
in order.
Very little has been said about the
mineral exhibit this year but il is not
forgotten by any means. There is al
ready a fine display in the mining
building but the development in the
territory during the last year should
call out a fine display of new stuff.
Mr.. Goodwin IS capable man for the
place being an engineer and mineralo-
gist and personally well acquainted
WITH all parts of the territory. There
is no freight charge On exhibits sent
for the fair and the mining men who
desire to attract capital this way shold
not overlook this fine opportunity to
get before the people.
Two other features that have not
yet been exploited will be provided as
usual this year. One is Indian day
under the direction OF J. b. Alexander
and Geo. +. Brown. The other is Has
sayampa day the features of which will
be looked after by w. T. Barley.
The free amusements to be provided
for the public have not yet been fully
decided upon but there will be enough
10 improve every hour not otherwise
spoken for. Among them will be slack
wire and acrobat:c performances and
the baseball tournament.

FISHERY INTERESTS
WORLDWIDE CONGRESS
Governor kibbey Asked to Name Del
egates to an international Conven
ton.

There are congresses and other con-
crosses to which the governor of Ari
IONA has from time to time been asked
TO name delegates, but an invitation
has now been received at the gov
ernor's office which is unique in that
it is probably the first time he has
ever been invited to appoint delegates
to an international congress. 1t is the
fourth international fishery congress,
which will convene in the city OF Wash
ington. United States of America, in
accordance with the decision of the
third international fishery congress held
in Vienna in 1905. The meeting. which
will be under the auspices OF the
United States Bureau of Fisheries and
the American Fisheries society, will
extend from the 22d to the 26th of Sep
TENDER, 1908. The first congress was
held in Paris in 1900, the second in St.
Petersburg in 1902 and the third in
Vienna in 1905.
The invitation comes from II. y.
Smith, the secretary general Of the con-
gress, who resides in Washington, and
the congress has the sanction and au-
thority of the government behind it.
The letter states that it is the first
gathering Of the kind to be held III
America, and the governor is asked TO
name not less than three nor more than
five delegates. 1t is desired that a
good attendance shall be present of
those interested in any phase OF the
fish question. whether commercial fish
cries. dealers in fish products, fish Gull
ture or anglers. If any Arizonian de-
sires TO attend he should make the fact
known to the governor. There need be
no unseemly haste as the congress is
nearly year from now, but the secre-
tary general desires to know as soon
as convenient who the delegates will
be and their addresses. that they may
be informed of what is going on and
the nature of their privileges and
duties. From circular accompanying
the letter to the governor the following
is taken concerning the eligibility of
objects Of the conference,
etc:
"All persons interested in the fish
cries. fish culture. fishery administra-
ton. or other matters within the scope
of the congress are invited to attend |
the meeting and participate in the pro |
ceedings. National, state and urovin- |
cial governments, societies, associa- |
tons, clubs, and other bodies are re- !
quested TO nominate and to send dele |
gates.
Persons who expect to attend the |
congress or to submit papers are asked |
to communicate with the secretary /
general as soon as practicable: and the !
secretaries of institutions and organi-
cations interested in the work of the !
congress are requested to register their ,
official designations and address so that
hey may receive further announce
nents programs invitations, etc. !

CHILL AND PEPPERS
MAKE A ITO! CROP
An Experiment of r. r. Stroud, the
Result of Which Is Worth Consid-
ering.

Talk about intensive farming here
I is man who almost got rich off ar
eighth of an acre. Anyhow he did SC
\ Well that if he had only planted -four
| or five acres he might have skinned
truck gardeners. 1t is r. f. Stroud
who lives near Glendale, and is well
known in the valley. He is located in
the section known locally as the Cave
Creek wash. which he says is the best
vegetable ground in the valley. when
| there is an ample water supply, not
excepting the notable truck gardens
east of Phoenix
This incident in Mr.. Stroud's life was
merely an experiment. He had no idea
what good luck he would have or he
would have operated on a larger scale.
He put this little patch of an eighth
of an acre into Mexican chilli and Chi
nese giant bell peppers. His estimate
of the expense of cultivating his little
patch of hot stuff the past season is
$40. He has to date taken in $50 in
cash for chilli and peppers sold in the
local market, and has about sl2 worth
more still on the plants that he ex-
poets to mature for the market before
the frost comes. And he got late
start, too. for he was a little short of
water for a time after planting. which
was on May 10th. He sold his chill at
cents a pound and his bell peppers at
10 cents a pound.
Five cents is cheap for chill and his
bell peppers would command almost
any price he choose to ask for them,
so long as he has no competitor in
the market and just now he hasn't.
even though other people may be grow
ing them. Nobody ever saw any finer
bell peppers than Mr.. Stroud brought
to the board of trade yesterday. Sec
rotary Cowgirl put up a jar of them
and they are almost as big as pears.
He held out one or two to eat for he
likes them as well as some cold blood
Cd fellows do an apple. Knowing the
general reputation of the pepper. timid
people might be afraid to taste them.
but they are fine from Il pepper stand
point and have no more burn in them
than a turnip, except the seed on the
inside. AS soon as they We're placed on
exhibition yesterday one or two gen
tlemen who have the pepper habit an
nounced that they wanted to get into
communication with Mr.. Stroud right
away.
Mr.. StrOud's experiment has returned
a net profit at the rate of $500 per acre.
and ii is now Tn TO him or somebody
else to try it on a large scale. There
are a great many peppers used in the
world and this is another chance for
the five-acre farmer or the Phoenix
country gentleman.
