S acknowledged be the best, from every point of view and of the very superior points is shown in the Arizona product by and through it's having been turn ed through the process.
 The of the superiority of the wet the dry process s less, obvious. If two elements are ground separately and mixed in dry state the mixture is quite perfect vet when poured in with the clements and thoroughly turned the mixture is as perfect as 1t can be made Even fire fails to com bine the dry mix well the combination of water and the fire does.
 Thus in the local plant the observer next in the manufacture of cement to the tubular mixing device: After the limestone and clay ground to the second fneness they are then sent into tubular ball grinder The mix is here watered to the consistency of heavy and revoves among heavy balls In this manner it is reduced to extreme fineness.
 The next step of the raw product to the fire kilns where it is turned practically into cement. In heavy liquid state IS transported through series of elevators large tank immediately above and to end of the fire kns. feed pipe into the end of each kiln from the and is turned into the kiln fast is burned The mix is handled throughout by machinery and no sur plus energy Is wasted.
 The second step correctly known the burning process is perhaps the most interesting step in the fracture of cement. If the reader imagine two entyfive feet tubes placed parallel each other and gently slopng away from the mixing tanks placed upon large cogged rollers and being approximately eight feet in diameter the largest and feet the other end he imagine the looks of the burning apparatus
 The raw, wet mix into the kins at the small and highest end while the heat in the form of vaporzed crude o under high pressure comes into the tank from the cogged rollers at very slow speed making perhaps two to three revolutions per minute The mix in this IS gradually brought from the intake down the tube al into the heat It into the heat the minute it strikes the tube, and the heat increases is rolled an down the tube until 1t reaches the lowest end where it gradually rolls out into cooling tank below.
 The mix enters the klns in liquid state, about the consistency of It out of the kln the lowest and largest end in the form of hard crystaIe cnkers the size of ordinary marbles yet not spherical shape
 From the cooling tank where most of the heat is taken eff by of suction fan, the cinkers another revolving tube which coo the clnker further degree At the end of this tube the cnker is fed into endless chain elevator and taken to large bin, the beginning of the last step in the manufacture of cement
 The last step s to great extent analogous to the grinding end at the start of the There three series of grndngs the last of which is done in another ball mill where the already ground cement is reducedto the fneness of the best product the market From here it is transported into large concrete cementstorage house where awaits transportation to the cities and into the myriad of industries where it is used.

COTTON PLANT
 CONTRACT LET
The Arizona Egyptian Cot ton Company's Ginnery Will Be Ready for Busi- ness by the Middle of Next Month

The Arizona Egyptian Cotton com . pany will be ready to handle cotton by the middle of September. Yester- day the company closed q contract with W. T. Tucker for the erection of the buildings for it's plant consisting of a ginnery. oil mill. seed cotton warehouse, cotton seed warehouse and stOrehOuse for baled cotton. The buildings will occupy land recently purchased by the Egyptian Cotton company from the Arizona Eastern company, about two and half acres bounded by Firth, Sixth, Lincoln and Grant streets. This land lies along the "Y."
 The seed cotton warehouse will be situated next to the tracks and the cotton will be taken into it by air from cars or wagons and from there it will be taken to the gins through exhaust pipes and fed automa tically After ginning the cotton will be con- voyed automatically to the press where it will be baled.
 The cotton seed will be conveyed by blowers to the cotton seed ware house whence it will be taken auto matically to the expellers which will turn it into the highest grade of cot tCnseed oil and cold pressed cake for cattle feeding.
 All of the buildings will be equipped with the most modern ma a- chinery. There will be two gins at first with capacity, each. of six bales every ten hours. One of these gins is already here and the other is OF the way.
 The ginnery will be protected from fire by steam jets and automatic sprinklers. The plant will be cleo trically driven, many of the machines having their individual motors. The buildings will be of iron construction but the warehouse for storing the cotton seed products and baled cot ton will have a concrete floor.
 The company will be prepared to pay the highest price for seed cotton either at it's plant or on board cars and it will also gin for others and buy both baled cotton and cotton seed
 The Egyptian cotton growing busi- ness will be of cOnsidera ble extent in the valley this year About 4500 3cIes have been planted The crop now is in fair shape and the outlook is quite satisfactory to srowers

There are chances galore throughout the bill for laugh producing, and these gentlemen |are on the job every minute. The story deals with an Irishman and q Hebrew, pals, who have landed in Turkey for the express purpose it would seem of being fleeced, and how well they succeed in their mission forms the basis for neat tabloid production.

ADJUSTMENTS
Coliseum


 Real vaudeville is always to be ap- preciated, and that is the brand which can be seen at the Coliseum this week. Three acts make an ap- pearance which admits of no unfavor- able criticism Little Olga, the gym mast offers one surprise after another in her particular line, and closely rivals the best male athletes in the business. Hunter and Reeves pre- sent a comedy, singing anu dancing skit. Lovers of real rag time singing have treat in store in the shape of a spot light number used during the appearance of the team. It is seldom that one sees an accomplished girl drummer, but the exception is in the person of Miss Edith, featured with the Woods Musical Trio. She is ab- Isolute mistress of the instrument and aside from clever drum selections, she offers very realistic limitations. The conclusion of the performance is all ways a signal for much applause. :.

POLI'S VAUDEVILLE
CBy the Poll Press Agent.)

Missing the performance at Polls
new theatre de luxe, this week, is
equivalent to missing the biggest and
best array of talent S. 2. Poll has Of
fered since his advent in this city.
Eight acts of the most diversified and
at least the most nairth- giving vaude-
Vile numbers constitutes the pro-
gram with the wonderful Edison
Talking Pictures and sufragette
speakers thrown in for good measure.
A sufragette addresses the audience
each afternoon and evening at the
end of the regular show.
w. c. Fields the silent humorist is
easily the hit of the big bill, from a
laugh making standpoint. His
quaint method of producing mirth
out of the merest comedy incident is
causing his name to go down in local
history as the Mark Twain of vaude
Vile. He is the master pantominist
and comedian superb without resort
to words.
The SuIIy Family of five people in
the nonsensical absurdity 1.-The Infor-
nation Bureau is hitting the laughs
over the plate at a batting average of
five hundred or more. The Willis's
musical geniuses are offering instru-
mental novelties in an entirely new
way. 6=,t
Caesar Nessf the youthful Caruso
with his si1very voice and charming
personality IS already popular Win the
Poll patrons and ere the week pass
es will become almost a fad.
The Lawn Party with the tumbling
sheriff and the ten young comedians
are one of the funniest acts ever seen
here and easily as popular as The Met
ropolitan Minstrels of last week.
Warren and ConIey the Ginger Pair
of Vaudeville are demonstrating their
claim to that title at each and every
show. They are without doubt the
pepperfest pair of real comedians ever
seen here.
New subjects on the Kinetophone
and subjects on the Poliscope never
before seen, makes the bill one of the
best Poll has ever sent here.

THE PLAZA
(By the Plaza Press Agent.)

An entire new bill of feature acts
and entirely new pictures is at the
popular Plaza theatre today and for
the balance of this week. Onaip, the
New York Hippodrome Sensation, in
his famous piano mystery will no
doubt BATTLE the public here as he
has done in New York city. When
an act can appear at the New York
Hippodrome for an indefinite period
and then get a return engagement
for another long run, there must be
real merit somewhere. This is just
what Onaip did at the New York Hip
podrome.
Another strong feature for three
days is a three reel late photo play
of William ]. Burns, the famous de-
tective who created such a sensa-
ton during the big trial of the New
York Gunner. The Plaza is always
first in procuring such attractions
and announce for next Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, motion pictures
of the recent Dayton Flood. Other
acts on the billy today and for the
balance of the week are Claire and
