New Oil Service Tank.

A marked improvement in delivery service of fuel and lubricating oils and greases to the mining camps an,l other sections of our county which are not on the railroad is promised by the recent arrival in Kingman of a 1-2 ton Velie Delivery Truck which is to be operated by the Union Oil Company from its station at Kingman. This truck is fitted with large stake body and removable tank. With the tank removed, the truck is suited for haul ing drums and case goods. The re- movable tank has capacity of ap- proximately 800 gallons and is to be used for handling oils in bulk. The company is now in a position to guaran- tee prompt and efficient service, daily if necessary, to the various important mining centers of the county.
 This concrete evidence of the belief of large business concern, without local or personal prejudice to bias their judgment, in the potential commercial possibilities of our county is matter of particular satisfaction as confirma- tion of our own opinions regarding the bright future prospects of Mohave County. It also presages the rapid commercial development of the county as its resources are brought more prominently to the attention of men with money to invest in their explora- tion. At the present time, Phoenix is the only town in Arizona considered by any of the large oil companies to be of sufficient commercial importance to warrant their operation of delivery service.
 Further evidence of the progressive ness of the Union Oil Company is it's recent further refinement of the large ly used fuel oil known as "TOPS." By this further refinement, the sedi- ment and foreign matter responsible for the brownish color of the ''Tops' is removed and the product is Union Gas Oil, or "White Tops" The latter is a clear white fuel oil of slightly higher gravity than the original 'Tops."
 The retailing of the Union Oil Com pany products, under the new service, has been actively undertaken by the Arizona Engineering Company, which company has handled the Union pro- ducts exclusively for some time.

Bond Election.

Last Wednesday the board of. super visors called an election for the purpose of voting bonds in the sum of 100, ,000$ for purpose of building and repairing roads and bridges in this county. The calling of this election is an important feature for the future of the county.
 The fact that about 10O,000$ has al- ready been spent in the building of roads and that wonderful results have been obtained should so impress the taxpayers that not one dissenting vote should be boiled against the bond issue.

LYRIC

Critics who reviewed the Monday evening performances of The Iron Master at the Lyric theater, were of the unanimous opinion that the performance was one of the most wonderful ever given by the Calburn Players in Bridgeport Special eIn- phasis was laid upon the fact that the production in it's scenic details. surpassed anything ever seen in tho stock company line in this city The management spared neither pains nor expense to make the production re9 alistic and wonderfully beautiful.
 The play itself justified its selec- tion as the vehicle in which Miss Irene Oshfer. the new leading woman. should make her first appearance be- fore the people of Bridgeport Tn this play she has particularly strong part which requires the experience of Q real actress to make 1t a success With Kendall Weston playing the heavy role opposite her, the cast was headed by two sterling characters Other members of the CaIburn com pany did themselves proud in the production and the commendation they received was merited.
 Miss Oshier is making a hit with every succeeding audience that sees her play and Judging from her res ception to date, she will prove to be one Of the most popular leading women ever brought to this city

Dr.. Edwards Olive TabIets-the substitute for caIom clare a mild bIJf sure laxative, and their effect on fha liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of pr. Edwards deter rafration not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little oIive-coIored tablets. These pleasanf little tablets do the good that caIomei does but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? CaIoneI sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take caIo- mel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.

POLES

Realism in stagecraft attains it's perfection in the mammoth produc- ton of the Fall of Antwerp. which is featured in the big bill at Poli's, the half of this week.
 Not a motion picture, but a most realistic spectacle requiring a car load of scenic and electrical effects, the Fall of Antwerp is an absolute novelty in stagedom. The beautiful city is pictured with trueness of de- tail as 1t stood before the siege Beautiful electrical effects shows tw1- light fade into dusk as the moon and stars appear. There comes a roar of distant cannon. A Whirr of Zep- peIns forewarns the aerial attack. The sky becomes afire as the airships drop bombs and the aerial batteries answer the attack from above. A bomb hits the oil tanks and they blow up with g. thunderous report, scat tering fire to all parts of the neigh borhood. The climax is reached as fire sweeps the city, raging the build fngs left intact throughout the fusiI- Jade of shells.
 An interesting lecture by Miss Mar garet May Lester, who recently re- turned from the stricken city, ac- companies the spectacle and adds much to its interest.
 In addition, there is a big bill of vaudeville and photoplay features A five-part photoplay feature of un- usual interest is .sThe Hoosier schooImaster. from the beautiful story by Edward Eggleston. Present. ing this interesting story of Indian life is a big cast of artists, headed by Max Ffgman and Lolita Robinson.
 Other features of the vaudeville program include Dick CroIius and company, in a comedy drama of the race track called The Tout's Tempta- tion'';; samoyou, ver1table dare devil in a death defying swing of the clouds; Hayes & HaIlen, two very clever vaudevilhans, in a neat variety act; Dyer 6 Fay, two talented funsters and a pretty girl. in q happy nneIange of song and talk; and Ted & Corinne Breton. in up-to-date songs

BL LUMBERG'S STORE CARRIES TALE OF
 PLUCK AND LUCK
Enterprising Shoe Mer chants Career is Inspira-

Finely Renovated and En- larged Store Attracts
 Much Attention.

From, a humble beginning as a #cobbler. with a tiny store and a oapd tai of Is pairs of shoes much the worse for wear, to a position of prom thence among the oldest established merchants of Bridgeport-that is the story of the quarter Of century of success of Barnet BIumberg.
 In a handsomely appointed store at the northwest corner of Wall and Water streets. with a stock that compares we'll with that of any re- taller in the state, MT. Blumberg to- day enjoys the distinction of having accumulated by individual effort one of the most costly pieces of real es- tate in the business section, and of having built up an exceptionally large volume of business.
 The story Of MT. Bzun1bergs sue cess Is like 8 tale from the Arabian nights. It was not so many years ago that he came into town seeking g place to locate as a cobbIer. In

1889 he nrst saw Bridgeport and with his tiny resources and a stout heart he decided that here would be the scene of his business career. In what was little more than 2 bay win dow of the structur re-now past into history known as the Bostonian ho- tel at the southeast corner of Wan ana Water streets, he started busi- ness Former Fire Chief Johnson was his first patron The first dol lar that came into his shop was from this official
 For seven years MT. Blumberg re- nnained at his first location gradually enlarging his floor space as eobbIing gave way to merchandisdng Since his methods of square, dealing kept swelling his volume of business he finally cast about for larger quarters These he found, handy to his familiar location, diagonally opposite, and then, at the northwest corner of the two streets, he became established in part of his present store.
 Thirteen years more in this corner found him ranking among Brid dge- the increase in business was such that he leased the store in the Wheeler block now occupied by Ieikers, but having a chance soon to dispose of the lease advantageousIy he sold out to the drug syndicate
 WlIA the increased prestige of his Main street venture to boost his Water street store, he concentrated his business at the old stand, which gradually he kept enIarging by addi- tIonal leases, and a few months ago he realized a long cherished a1nbi- ton in purchasing from the Nichols estate the entire corner property which is, now devoted exclusively to the BIumberg business
 Furnished elegantly lighted with an ideal system. and stocked with a most complete line,l the store is thriy- ing as never before. with Bridgeport's business boom of the early spring re- flected in a constantly increasing pa tronage- The store with it's modern equipment and up to date methods stands out in the neighborhood as the harbinger of a better grade of
 retail mercantile establishments in the ever busy wholesale section Un- der the managership of Albert A Hotzs the store is now equipped not. only with q full line of mems shoes but completes assortment of wo- mems and children's models as we'll. A considerable wholesale trade is a. growing feature of the business.
 MT. Blumberg is one of the best known of lBridgeporters. IntenseIv devoted to his business, he still finds time for the enjoyment of his beautiful home in Myrtle avenue and for his social afhliations. He is a members of the Elks, the Odd Eel lows, the Independent Order Of BsNai Brith and of other charitable and social organizations.
