KING PETER VICTIM OF STROKE

LONDON. Dec. a dispatch TO
the Express from Belgrade says that
King Peters recent indisposition
which was ascribed to influenza, was
really an apopletic stroke. partly due
to the strain he has undergone dur
ing the past few months.
The kings condition is so precar-
ious, the correspondent says that
his abdication would cause no sur
prise.

THE PACIFIC
 CREAMERY COMPANY.
Manufacturers of "liIy" Milk.

Manufacturers of "lily" Milk.
 The establishment of the Pacific Creamery Compane at Tempe. in De- cember, 1907, created a market for the milk produced around this fertile re- zion and it is not only one of the best paying propositions for the ranchers. but it entailed an expendi- ture of about s4O00O in what is con ceded to be one of the best equipped plants of this character on the Pacific slope. giving employment, when work ing full capacity to about forty people. The plant has a capacity of 10000 pounds of milk per day. which would mean. if working up to their full ca pacity, that about 19.000 twenty ounce cans of their famous Lily Milk" could be put up ready for distribution during the ten working hours.
 The Tempe factory ship their pro- duct throughout Arizona, New Mexico and Old Mexico, in quantities rang ing from a case to car lots.
 The price the company pays the ranchers for milk averages s1.20 per hundred pounds for milk testing four per cent butter fat which makes a COW in this section produce in the neighborhood of s93.50 a year.
 The company conternplates the erec- tion of their own tin can factory. whereby they will not only manufac- ture all of their own cans, but will equip the plant with the necessary machinery which will enable them to make cans suitable for fruits and vegetables. if the future so demands. This feature would give additional em- ployment to at least ten more people.
 They operate two factories, the par ent one being located in Buena Park, California, and 1t is under the, super vision of Geo. Wilson, who is also one of the officers of the company The local plant is supervised by J. B. Cook. who is also identified in the di- rectorate
 The general offices are located in the Pacific Electric Building in Los Angeles and the officers are George H. Stewart. president; George Wilcox. vice president: E. w. Renkin. secre- tary; H. w. O'Melveny. director: and J. B. Cook. superintendent of the Tempe factory.

A. M. HARM FER.
Drugs and School Books.

Purity in drugs and medical com pounds is a specitlty upon which A. M. Harmer has built up his reputation. Four and one half years ago, he bought out J. w. Burg. and during that time has not only added new fixtures and a soda fountain. but has doubled the stock, which includes a full line of drugs. sundries. toilet articles, school books and he also has the Tempe agency-fOr the famous Eastman KO- daks and supplies.
 A feature that his no doubt been a great factor in his phenomenal success is the enviable reputation attained relative to all kinds of compounding and prescription work as he has made a special study of this delicate pro- fession and has this department equipped with a pair of Torsion bal ance scales that insures absolute ac- curacy. Mir Harmer is a native of Ohio. and graduated from the North Western University of Ohio and came to the territory eight years ago. and spent three years in Mesa. He left there to establish a place in Tempe that has not only secured the confi- dence of the entire public, but the leading physicians on that side of the river almost invariably say, Have it filled at Harmer'S."

THE TEMPE BAKERY

Tempe not only boasts of the won derfully productive country surround ing it. but also of her modern up to date establishments which cater to the wanSs of the inner man. The modern bakery known throughout that section as the Tempe Bakery is an example of the unlimited amount of faith her merchants display in the great future that lies before her. The bakery was established by Vim. Hilge, who re- linqueshed his interests three years ago to F. H. Rieckhoff, who continued in the original location for a year and then found it necessary to seek larger and more commOdious quarters. and to enlarge the capacity to meet the rap idly increasing patronage. Two years ago he moved to his present location and built an oven having a capacity of 5000 loaves per day. and today he sup plies not only the majority of bread consumed in Tempe but also all kinds of pastry, including wedding cakes. that are made to special order for the occasion. The secret of his success. no doubt. lies in the fact that he

ALFRED J. PETERS & COMPANY.

The oldest business institution in Tempe. and probably in the whole valley. is the Hayden Mill. now being operated under lease. by Alfred J. Pet CTS and A. A. Walsworth under the firm name of Alfred J. Peters & Co. This company has operated the mill for seven years and during that time has spread its fame for the manufac- ture of high grade flour all over the territory They make two brands ''Sifted Snow and Pride of Arizona" Their "Sifted Snow brand is a patent hard wheat flour that has no su- perior anywhere. The Pride of Arizona" is q patent Spring wheat product. The mill has a capacity of 70 barrels per day and is working up to its capacity. The flour made. finds a market here in Arizona and is not excelled by any flour made anywhere on earth.
 Both MT Peters and Mir. Walsworth are old timers in the valley, the former having come here in 1879 and the latter in 1883. The mill is equip ped with three and one-half sets of dou- ble rolls and the plan sitter process is installed. They use no bleacher and consequently they furnish pure flour. The mill handles most of the wheat and barley raised on lands under the Tempe canal and also draws heavily from other canal districts and also from the Indian reservation.
 The miller in charge. John Seivers. has been here since 1877. He thorough ly understands conditions ' and is capable of turning out the best bit of flour possible from any given grain.
 The mill was constructed in 1872 by Chas. Tumble Hayden and is the only water power mill in the valley. I'm provements have been added from time to time until today it is as well equipped as any flour making plant in the country.
 The company has two large ware houses one with a capacity of 6.000 pounds of grain and the other with a capacity of 500 tons of hay.

ANDREW NELSON.

One of the active spirits of Tempe and one of the leading real estate men of the Salt River valley is the subject who came to Arizona from Denmark in 1882. MT. Nelson showed the kind of stuff that was in him by his trip here. he with 62 others walking all of the way from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
 He began selling real estate in Tempe in 1892 and has built up a splendid business in this line. His list includes all kinds of improved and unimproved city and ranch properties and on his book are some of the best real estate bargains in the valley. In speaking of conditions. MT. Nelson said: Prices of land are much higher and there are more transfers than ever before. A few years ago. many farm CTS in this locality were looking for second loans, today they are all seek ing investments for surplus funds. I have sold a great deal more land to home people that I have to strangers
 Mir. Nelson is a member of. the city council. and is a booster in season and out of season. But it can be said of him that he makes no false statements to make a sale, consequently his busi- ness is growing among his home peo- pie. who know him best. There is no better land than that surrounding Tempe. and there is no man in the valley that knows its good points bet ter than does Andrew Nelson.

BIRcAETT BROS.
Dealers in Good Things to Eat
 Tempe.

AS 9 means of showing the prosper ityS enjoyed by Tempe business men. attention is called to the fact that the gentlemen whose names appear above are conducting one of the largest eS- elusive grocery houses on the south side. IL was started in 1902 in a snail way by purchasing a small established business carrying about a $500 stock. that was shortly after wiped out by fire. In three days time they again opened for business and their trade increased at such a rapid rate that they erected the elegant two story brick building the ground floor of which they now occupy. and this gives them ample splce to displas thor carefully selected Sf0,000 stock of Good Things to Eat"
 This business house carries every necessary article of f@oj. among which are the products of near'y every c''un- try. The firm is composed of John R. and Jos. T.

THE LUKIN cASH STORE.

This house has had a most Inter esting history. and can better bear witness to the changing methods of doing business in the past few years. than can many of the newer concerns. It was started fifteen years ago, in a
 very modest way, with a SS5.00 stock. before Tempe had gained the prestige which it now bears. By realizing the importance of selling quality" good and quoting low prices, they have gained the present enviable large volume of business. They have grad ually broadened and extended their field of operation and added several new departments Until today they carry complete lines of dry goods, clcthings. hats, shoes. notions, groc-
 cries and grain. and the carefully se- lectcd stock shows the efficiency of the management When w. Lukin, the founder of this successful mercan-

TEMPE HOUSE.
F. R. Marsh, Prop, Tempe.

The first question that confronts the traveller or homeseeker. when he arrives in strange locality. is where to secure board and lodging and when this is the case in Tempe. the question is easily decided by going to the Tempe House. where ample accommo- dations gre provided in the way of rooms. meals and refreshments. F. R. Marsh the genial proprietor of this popular place. possesses that happy facility of surrounding his patrons with that 'at home" air that seems to prevail around this hostelry. The cafe is under the care of an experi-
 enced chef. and meals are served on the short order plan. and a feature is also made of a 25 cent dinner that simply speaks for itself. The buffet is not only a popular place with the guests. but the local business men and

ranchers as well. and only the very choicest of liquid refreshments and cigars are served. In the three years of his able management he has ren- Ovated the entire place and added new fixtures and equipments wherever necessary. In addition he has shown his faith in the valley by purchasing fine = acre ranch last June. lying one and one-half miles from town, and quite recently purchased six city lots close to Mill avenue. which he is now equipping as yards for the sale of wood. coal. hay and grain. which will make a good cash market for na- tive wood around this section. MT. Marsh is q native of Wisconsin, but came to the valley from San Francisco and decided to cast his lot in country that is full of opportunities for the man with little cash, backed up by a determination to win.

TEETER BROS.
Wholesale and Retail Butchers

One of the most widely known meat markets on the south side is that con- ducted by Teeter Bros who establish ed their market five years ago and have attracted a patronage that re. fleets credit upon the men at the head of the business. Their market has become noted for the prime quail ity of the meats handled. and being provided with ample refrigerator fla
 cilites that will easily accommodate 15 carcasses enables them to not only successfully handle the large volume of Tempe patronage. but also to be able to supply all the meat used at Granite Reef. and the camp on the power line. In addition to furnishing meat on this Government project they also ship to Kelvin and Nogales. Their produce department is cn a par with the meat section and they are con stantly shipping eggs and butter as far away as old Mexico. in fact it was this firm that shipped the largest single shipment of eggs inkp Mexico that ever left this valley. They are constantly in the market for produce of this character and pay the highest cash price. This enterprising and progressive firm is composed of Jas. T. and D. s. Teeter. who are both young hustlers from the prairie states of Iowa and Kansas. but have been in the valley for twelve to fifteen years and today conduct a market that would do credit to much larger city.

When a realty dealer has resided in a locality for II years it would seem logical that he would be prepared to fully aceuaint any prospective Fsttler, relative to conditions around the terri tory in which he has resided. A. B.

He informed the repre- sentative of The Republican that his listings cf improved and unimproved ranch lands, city and business prop critics, were as complete as any simi- lar concern on the south side, the list including ranches of all sizes and con- ditious and this enables him to satisfy almost any prospective settler. In ad- dition to his lucrative real estate business. he operates a fire insurance department, represented by seven of the best companies. including the Hartford of Hartford Connecticut and the London Assurance Corporation, which paid more money in the Frisco ccnflagration than did any two other companies. they paying out approXi- mately S1S,G00000OO ME TomIison is a native of Illinois. where he lived for 70 years before locating and investing in the Salt River valley.
