WILLIAMSON OPENS IN
HIS new STORE TODAY

Although the triumph is but partial
inasmuch as the stock ard store are
not yet quite complete, N. Williamson
today achieved the goal, toward which
he and his big force of employees
have been working for the last nine
months, when, at 8 o'clock the doors
of the new Williamson department
store in the Mcconnell block, were
swung open to a display of one of
the finest stores and stocks in the en-
tire Inland Empire. The stock was
not complete, nor was the bui'ding
quite complete, but there was enough
to give the hundreds of visitors who
took advantage of the opening day, a
foretaste of Mr.. Williamson's long
planned store.
The first floor of the new store is
devoted to the mems clothing, mems
furnishings, dry goods, shoes and
groceries, the dry goods and ladies'
shoes being on the right at the en-
trance, the mems clothing, furnishings
and shoes at the left, and the grocery
at the rear with First
street entrance Above the Main
street entrance upon the balcony, is
the wrapping department, with its
elaborate system of cash and bundle
carriers connecting with every section
of the floor, while to the right on the
balcony are the queensware, cutlery,
and cooking utensils, and on the LETT
the stoves and ranges. At the re TT on
the balcony are the general offices, the
bedding and blanket rooms, the trunk
and suitcase departments, and the
toilet rooms for the employees and
patrons.
At the rear, on the second floor is
a large, beautiful room, to be devoted
to the cafe. Here an electric range
will be installed, and a dainty serv-
ice for shoppers will be provided dur
ing the lunch hours. On the second
floor proper are the women's cloak
and suit, and millinery departments,
the latter occupying the First street
side. The ladies' cloaks and suits are
carefully kept in built-in cabinets
along the wall, as are the mems suits
and coats, this system having been

1904 was given here today by Colonel
Roosevelt.
Roosevelt was here TO attend the
25th anniversary of the ordination OF
Father J J. Curran. If necessary 1t
is believed Roosevelt will testify be-
fore the senate campaign contribu-
tions committee.
After mass had been celebrated this
morning Colonel Roosevelt was es-

NOGALES, Ariz., Aug. 22.-Unable
to proceed or to return because OF

General Manager Temple OF the Son
ora railway and at least four other
trains are bottled in northern .on-
ora today.
Temple left last night to investigate
conditions along the line; The train
was surrounded by rebels near Pas
quera where it was stopped by burn
ed bridges. 1t is not known ii the
rebels attacked the train.
Leaving a trail of smoke and asnes,
of devastated villages and desolated
homes, three bands of Mexican rebels
aggregating about $500 well armed
men, are moving northward along the
Sonora railroad. They are driving be-

adopted after considerable study by
Mr. Williamson, as providing the best
care for the goods. There are mir
rors at almost every point on the sec
ond floor the heavy iron pillars, be-
ing surrounded with them On this
floor, also the pianos are exhibited
The cutting and fitting and alteration
rooms are on this floor

pet and rug department, in which a
special rug making machine will he
installed to enable the store to make
bordered rugs to meet the demands
of any shaped or sized room; and the
furniture department, which is filled
with beautiful furniture, fresh from
the eastern markets.
An automatic Otis electric elevator
has been installed to carry patrons
from floor to floor, a special telephne
system of 16 phones is one of the
features which give added and quick
service to the institution, and, of
value among the other modern i'm
provements is the excellent fire pro-
lection afforded by the hose-reels and
stand-pipes OH every floor, by means
of which, through the we'll organized
fire service among the employees the
danger of loss from fire is reduced to
a minimum.
Throughout the woodwork of the
new store is finished in golden oak,
while the show cases and shelving
are so arranged as to afford a COM
pletely unobstructed view of each
floor
The informal opening today was
made the occasion of beautiful dis
play of new fall fabrics and styles
in both women's and mems garments
and furnishings, and the big store
with it's handsome showings from an
entirely new stock was deligh. to
the hundreds of shoppers who visited
it in the course of the day.
The new store has been N. William
sons goal, in every working day since
he has been in Moscow. By night il
has been his dream. And the d"eam
has in splendid fashion come true.

of the railway officials. according to
statement made today by the union
leaders.
The employees accuse President Bus
by of the South Side railway of fos-

had imported 500 strikebreakers.
One company official declared that
the North and West Side railroads
were willing to compromise, but
Busby refused to deal with the men.
Busby denies the charge of foster
ing the strike, saying that in the event
of strike all cars would be left in
the barns and no attempt would be
made to operate them for ninety days.
