FINE SHOWING
 BY RIFLE CLUB
Interesting Window Display of Targets, Rifles and Trophies by Members of Phoenix Organization At tracts Attention

Through the courtesy of the Vic Hanny company, the Phoenix Rifle club is this week making one of the most interesting window displays that has been seen in the city for many months. The exhibit includes firearms of different models, from the first breech lOaders made in this country, to the New Springfield rifles, as well as targets, silver cups, medals and tro- phies won by members of the club.
 Among the guns on exhibit are sev- eral that are attracting no small amount of attention. One of these is a Ross, a Canadian gun, said to be the only gun made that compares with the United States Springfield. It is loaned by F. c. Hurst. The display of Krags, by Dr. Beido and MT. Freeman, is also Of interest. as these guns can be pur- chased by members of the club for only $500 and make excellent guns for hunting. collection of weapons be- longing to Col. Coggins includes an old cap and ball pistol, and one of the first breech loaders made in this country
 
 the head of the mountain sheep, killed by Dr. Boido with his sporting Krag carbine. pr. Boido has been offered $2S0 for the head, but states that it is not for sale.
 Two large targets in the window tes- tify to the craftsmanship of mem bers of the club. One, made by Dr. Boido at 300 yards shows 49 out of 50 shots. an exceptionally we'll grouped bunch of shots. The other, made by F. c. Hurst, at 500 yards shows 13 bulls eyes out of a possible 15. These, to- gether with a number of fine cups and trophies won by members of the club tell the story of the clubs record. In the two years since the club was or ganized. it has never been defeated. and has won all the cups and medals in the state.
 The different articles used in the dis play were furnished by the following members of the Rifle Club: pr. Lo- renzo Boido, Col. c. w. Coggins, Dr. F. H. Redewill, c. R. Price, Clyde Picket, T. L. Eden, C. " Gulley, F. C. Hurst, Bert Freeman.

Eclair Company Has Or ders Out to Get Up Two More Companies, One of Which May Come to City of Phoenix

Webster Cullison, general director for the Eclair motion picture com panies that have been operating at Tucson for the past few months, was in the city yesterday en route to Tucson from Prescott Where he went to spend the Fourth of July and take in the Frontier Days celebration for the weekly features of the Univer sal combination.
 MT. Cullison was surprised at Phoe nix. The city showed him more city ways than any town that he has visited since he came west. He was charmed with the wide streets, spa cious boulevards, and the settings in general The beauty of the place attracted him also. He was driven to Riverside Park as a part of his visit and when he saw the pool re- marked how good it would be for picture of aquatic events.
 He also let it be known that he had been instructed to organize two more companies for work in Ari- zona under his direction, and it is quite likely that one of them will be located here When asked how much financially a motion picture company meant to a town of this size he stat ed that since being at Tucson he had paid out in salary and expenses over one hundred thousand dollars.

Journal of Agriculture of South Africa Discusses Recent English Plumage Bill and Effect on the Feather Market

Through an extensive exchange list the board of trade is enabled to come in contact with great number of items of interest to the various activities of this valley which probably would not be known but for many passing period- icals that come to the tables of the secretary Recently the Journal of Az riculture of South Africa printed the following which will be of great in terest to the growers of ostriches in this country, and especially in the Salt River valley.
 Tho Anti Plumage Bill
 The bill introduced in the British the importation of certain feathers and skins and portions of birds into the United Kingdom on account of the cru city involved in procuring them has created a good deal of excitement amongst ostrich farmers and ostrich feather merchants.
 Owing to the representations that were made by this government to the effect that the obtaining of ostrich feathers was a humane and painless operation, ostrich feathers were exclud- ed from the scope of the bill, as also was eiderdown, though so deeply rooted in the minds of some people is the idea that the plucking of ostrich feathers is a cruel operation that it was proposed to include ostrich feathers when the bill was in committee, but it was not carried.
 The bill was supported by the Ostrich Breeders association and certain lead ing ostrich farmers on the ground that it was justified and that the sale of ostrich feathers would probably be in creased rather than decreased by the prohibition of the use of other fancy feathers. The feather merchants of London have taken a different view, however as they hold that the whole feather trade will be upset, if the bill pases, and that instead of ostrich feathers being more largely used in consequence of the prohibition of other feathers, it would be reduced, as they argue that the use of ostrich feathers and of other fancy feathers rises and

FRANKLIN EFFICIENCY
 TESTS PROVE UP GREAT

The Franklin Six-Thirty chassis is s4.4 per cent. efficient according to a recent test made in the extensive au- tomobile laboratory of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute at Worcester, Massachusetts.
 In this test the car was run with the transmission in high or direct gear. The rear wheels rested on big steel drums which Were connected to water brakes, absorbing and measuring the power. This measured the power that is used to propel the car on the road.
 The result of the test showed that S4.4 per cent. of the power developed by the Franklin engine is used to pro- pei the car and only 15.6 per cent. is lost in friction in the tires, slippage and in the friction of the driving mechanism, bearings, etc
