ROOF |NC REQUIRED
 YARDS IF MATERIAL

Among the sub- contractors on the rebuilding of the Commercial hotel and on the repairing of the damages done by the fire Of last summer to lhe building. Thomas J. Smith, man ager of the Phoenix Roofing company, 323 West Washington street. played his share. He was awarded the con- tract for roofing the new structure. His work has been completed and passed on by the contractors.
 "J.-M." roofing. made by the Johns- Manville company, one of the largest manufacturing companies Of roofing nlatcllais in the world. was used by Mir. smith in reconstructing the Commercials roof. The materials are handled in this district exclusively by the Phoenix Roofing company. and many large contracts wherein this company's products have been Used have been completed in the past year by MT. Smith.
 "J-M." aI-asbestos. a mineral roof ing is made by the second largest corporation in the world, one that serves more people in more ways than any other concern in the world and one whose willingness and ability to make good on their guarantee is never questioned It is for these reasons that the Phoenix Roofing company. in the words of the manager. takes great pleasure in recommending and selling JIM. roofing products in this
 Mir. Smith has been in business in the Salt River valley now for some time. His business has constantly be- come larger and is now reaching out to every corner of the state. He is fast becoming one of the large build ing factors Of Arizona and his roofs may be found on hundreds of public and private buildings throughout his territorN.

COAL AND MERCHANT MARINE

An investigation of South Ameri- can markets for coal will be under taken at once by the bureau of for eign ard domestic commerce of the department of commerce. It. is held that South America is the most logi- cal market in the world for American coal, and that a thriving business in that commodity will be an important factor in building up a merchant ma- rine.
 British economists are agreed that much of England's success in mer- chant shipping is due to the fact tna. Welsh coal has always been available for return cargoes. The need of such a return cargo has often been felt in our South American trade.
 Latin America is a promising mar ket for coal, because it has very linn ited supplies of its own. Chile. Peru and Bolivia in particular need coa. and have an abundance of minerals to ship in return. Nitrates and iron, copper and tin ore can be brought to this country more cheaply if full car goes of coal can be taken back on the ret.Irn voyage.-American Leader.

1000 Feet of Tile
 Placed Iu Hotels
 Lobby and Offices

While from outward appearances hotel lotby and of the several lavator- ies in the building does not appear to measure up to large number of feet, nevertheless, when the actual work of laying the tile floors in these parts Of the building was contemplet- ed mere than 1000 square feet were discovered. James N. Petty, A32 West Washington street, laid all the tile and did the marble work in the re- construction of the hotel.
 The tile work in the building con sisted Of laying of floors in the lob by proper, in the office of Lawhon x Bradford. brokers, and in the several public lavatOries throughout the house The msrlle which was installed makes up ,he partitions in the lava toIies and toOtDo2rds in several other pats of the house. While the yardage of marble in the building is not large 1t amounts to considerable sum when the several small lots installed ahout the house are considered
 Installation of tile floors and marble partitions in the lavatories, together with the white, modern lavatory sys- tenn, make these departments of the new structure among the most modern and sanitary in appearance i1 this district Because of the tiling and marble work the rooms are easily cleaned and no amount of water can injure them.
 Iames N. Petty, who makes a spec ialty of marble and tile work, has been in this business in the Salt River valley for several years. He has done a large part of the tile and marble work on nearly every large building which has been constructed in this district and has established himself as one of the builders of Phoenix.

LOCKS ARE
 UNIVERSALLY USED

One of the features of the new Commercial hotel is the installation by the Talbot and Hubbard company, Incorporated of Sargent locks throughout the entire building Every door in the new hotel is fitted with the Sargent lock system, and all coml municating doors are fitted with the argent communicating locks. The system is as complete as any lock system in the west.
 Under the system which has been installed one key will admit the hotel management to every door in the building. At the same time guests keys will open only one door in the building to which they are issued This pass system does away with the cumbersome key ring which for merly was attached to the belt of the housekeeper and which made it neces- sary for each chambermaid to have a whole ring of keys for admission to the rooms in which she was to work.
 Numbering of the keys and locks is another feature of the system. If a Key to any room in the building is lost the clerk can easily replace it. He has in his desk a list of the rooms Opposite the room number is the number of the door lock, and he finds in his box Of extra keys the corres- bonding number. The necessity of the locksriith tC manufacture new keys or the substitution of pass key for the lost key is done away with.
 Between several of the rooms in inc hotel are small bath rooms and lavatorles. These baths connect with two rooms through seperate doors

Duncan Macdonald, contractor for the plaster work in the Commercial hotel building. is one of the best known and most firmly established contractors in the Salt River valley. He has been in business in this city for the past six years steadily, and during that time has established himself firmly in the business and fi nancial world

MODERN PLUMBING BUILDING FEATURE.

Modern and complete plumbing was not a feature of the old commercial. The most p-to-date, modern, efficient and compete plumbing system is one of the outstanding features of the new Commercial hotel. Hot and cold water has been installed in every room, baths have been placed m many rooms which before did not have them, and modernly eQupped lavatories have been installed on each floor.
 In addition. one Of the most modern heating plants, uslEg hot water, has been placed in the basement and is connected with a radiator sS stem which extends to the halls and rooms throughout the building. This also is an innovation. nl the old building before the fire stoves and heaters were used practically throughout the house in heating the rooms and halls.
 The installation or the heating and plumbing system was the wOrk of the Phoenix Plumbing and Heating com pany, 401 North First avenue. E,. J. Harrington, the manager of the com pany, personally superintepded the entire matter or placing the systems He was on the job from the time work of installation began until the final fitting and tests were made. His work has been generally commended by the management of the hotel 10th ior efficiency and for dispatch.
 The installation or the two systemc necessitated the laying of many feet Of pipe hIoughout the entue building. 1t also necessitated the placing ot tow lulnaces in the basement One of there furnaces supplies hot water for the heating system and for the baths and stationary stands throughout the winter. The other is the summer heater, and supplies the bath and sta tionary stand hot water in the months during which furnace heat IS not needed. The detail and construction of the two systems was intricate and accurate and speedy construction was demanded for efficient service

WORRYING THE COYOTE

A novel gas lamp known as a 'covote" gan is being used exten- sively by western ranchmen to pro- tect their flocEs from the ravages of coyotes. The device consists Of three chambers and a lamp box. In the up- per chamber is water which drips into the larger chamber below, filled with calcium carbide The greater part of the gas feeds through a tube to the blaze but a quantity is forced into the third chamber on the left side. and frcm there at about one minute in- tervaIs it feeds through to the lamp box and causes an explosion similar to a pistoI shot. The device Is at

NEW FURNITURE
 FUR NEW HOTEL

Fwo-thirds of the furniture placed in the remodeled Commercial hotel is new. It is also permanent heavy, and attractive. It was supplied to the Commercial hotel by the Barrows Furniture company, First and Jeffer- son streets.
 Several kinds of furniture are listed in the various articles supplied. Among the numerous articles one ot the most important and one Of the most convienent is the small gllp rack or stand. which will be installed in each room in the building. These stands, while minor parts of the new furnishings, are among the most con- venient innovations supplied by the hotels management. and while serV- ing a long-felt want to the hotel guest. act as saving for the hotel management.
 The bureaus and chairs installed ill the various rooms of the building are of several classes. Mahogany and bilrds-eye maple play q large part in the furnishing scheme. In addition several other sets, including some cream colored furniture were placed in special rooms. An attempt was made to harmoniZe the furniture with the Wood- work of the various rooms throughout the building.
 The bedsteads supplied to take the place of beds which were ruined in the hotel fire are of iron and steel. The later are among the newest models in beds. and while very dur able in build. are much lighter than the original iron and wood steaGs.
 In the Commercial cafe the Barrows Furniture company installed the tables and other wood work. These are all of heavy, durable character, ana white in color. The complete equip ment in furniture for the cafe came from this house.

AN EASY PATH TO REAL MONEY


 On March l. 1905. my wife per suaded me 10 take out five shares of building and loan stock, which ne- cessitated my paying s5 every month. l kept at 1t faithllily and regularly never missing a single payment, and many a month l could hardly see where the & was coming from, for at that time my salary was not very large; but l considered that l owed it just the same as l owed my rent.
 l kept at it with a determination that l would not let anything inter- fere and after paying in for ten years and eight months. the secre- tary told me that the series l was in had matured, ana that I need not pay any more, so he gave me a check for s100e You can easily figure at s per month had paid just s64O. The profit represented the interest on my money for the ten years and premium on money which tie association had sold, and when the amount which had paid them plus interest and premium to them ceased and l got the amount mentioned above. or $1000 l have often said tC my wife that We were just that much ahead, for I feel certain we could not have saved the s each month if We had not made the start and felt that We should stick to il until the stock matured. With the S1.000 I bought q $1,000 bond that pays , per cent. and instead of paying out sG0 q year we get $50 Interest each year. This permits us to save the s60 each year. and in addition the $50 interest. which Is al- most double the amount we originally started witk.-American MagazIne

Romans were more practical, called it succinum, or gumstone, lucky guess at its origin, for it is a fossil ized vegetable gum. found principally on the Baltic coasts of Prussia. The finest specimen of amber is the am Der cup in the Brighton museum, which reminds us that in medieval times it was fashioned not only into ornaments, but into utensils. knives and one -pronged forks being made of it, while but few years ago amber monocles threatened to become fash . ionable in Belgravia.

If a guest in one room uses the bath and leaves the door to the other room locked it IS not necessary for the occufant of the second room to call on the office to enter the first room and unlock the door. A simple twist of what is known as a com municating lock effects the desired entrance to the bath.
