Biggest and best equipped in the the composing room of The Republican is one of the most inter esting departments of the paper-in- teresting because here one can see just how complicated a task it is to get out a modern newspaper. In point of con venience. sanitation, and equipment it is one of the finest in the Southwest, and indeed second to none in the coun- try if size is not considered.
 In the composing room sheets Of paper covered with writing, the adver- tisement and news copy" are trans lated into metal type, the first and greatest task in transforming them into a compact, well-aranged news paper. of 16 or 20 or 40 pages. There one sees and senses the actual work of preparing the paper as he cannot in watching a reporter writing a story or a copyreader editing it, or an ed vertising man preparing his copy though without all these a newspaper would be impossible, just as it would be impossible if there were no compos- ing room to set the type and prepare the pages.
 The Republicans composing room, 1T it's new quarters in the Heard building is easily the best in Arizona in size, il amount of work turned out. in number of men employed, in modern equip ment and methods. And like all com posing rooms it holds a fascination fol the uninitiated Visitors to The Re publican will enjoy inspecting it.
 | Standing out predominantly amonG the many pieces of equipment in th' composing room, of course, are th' seven big linotype machines witt equipment for five more, and tn

other things used in making up mod er1 newspaper.
 The composing room of The Repub lican occupies the rear of the second floor of the Heard building. It is large, well-aired, well-lighted room, eS by 62 feet with windows on two sides and a complete system of ventilation.
 The feature of the composing room, however, is its strict modernity throughout. The floor is of concrete. covered over in the ad and makeup rooms with wooden flooring, for the greater comfort of the men who work Cn their feet The walls and ceiling are white. The stands of type case, the storage cabinets, and similar equip ment are all new, all steel ,the last word in composing room equipment. When The Republican moved into its new quarters about s75,00O was spent on new equipment alone. The linotype machines cost about $5,000 each by the time they are installed.
 The new composing room of The Republican was planned by an eff ciency expert of the American Type Foundry at Los Angeles. who declares it one Of the most up-to-date in the country.
 In the northwest part of the com posing room stands the battery of { nnotypeS, arranged m one row ot three and two rows of two machines. The monotype is close by. In the southeast corner is the ad room, where the display advertisements are set. Here are eight stands, of g cases Of i type each, or 176 cases in all.
 In the southwest part of the room l is the makeup room, where the var l icus articles and advertisements are made up into the pages.
 i Of the seven linotype machines, l three are used in setting the smaller l type in the display advertisements, and four in setting straight reading matter The three former have three
 magazines of type each-that is. each
 can set type of three different sizes
 The other four set only one size of 1 type, but can set others as more ma

Gov. Wolfley Starts Republican
 to Bolster Up Unsteady Regime

Governor Lewis Wolfley, Republi- can appointee of President Benjamin Harrison, travelled troubled water in the administration of state affairs after his appointment in 1889. So he conceived means of bolstering up wobbly regime. The conception was The Arizona Republican.
 In the first few weeks of its publi- cation, The Republicans only excuse for issuance, regularly at least. was to support Governor Wolfley and his cohorts, who were fIoundering badly to leeward in the storm of public opinion. But the paper survived the crisis. something that Governor Wolfley could not do. and thus it proved itself bigger than the purpose. Gradually it outgrew the narrow and selfish purpose which gave it life; l it expanded and eventually became an organ "of the people, by the people and for the people"
 The original news department of i The Republican consisted of Charles O. Ziegenfuss, city editor; c. Q. ziegenfuss, reporter, and just plain Charley Ziegenfuss. copy reader and head writer.
 Ziegenfuss was a good all around man, and it was well that he was. A less versatile workman would have fallen by the wayside ere the first publication made its appearance. He proved himself equal to every task and tasks in those days were many and tedious.
 Occasionally. however, ziegenfuss was given an assistant. Those were the happy days" though. when busi- ness took a spurt and employees were not obliged to seek writs of attach ments for salary due.
 Ed s. Gill, one time adjutant gen eral of the state, was the first busi- ness manager with Col. James H. Me Clintock first foreman of the compos- ing or mechanical rooms
 F. J. Wolfley came as editor and general manager and served for sev- eral years in one capacity or the other Along about that time, A. s. Mills, . veteran newspaper man of Arizona became associated with The Republi- can, first as news writer and, 1T 1892, in the business department.
 The period from 1892 to 1896 il known, among the old timers, as tho meal ticket days of Phoenix news paper history. Incidentally. it was thu most amusing, yet tragic, periods tt the man who had chosen neWspape work as his field of endeavoT.
 Pay days were about as irregula as the rainfall-and far less lucrative Almost every week-sometimes i would drag over a few days or SO the business management of the pa per would distribute meal ticket among it's employes-the management just couldn't bear to see it's Workme go hungry. On one particular occa sion. Bushley, foreman of the com posing room, made an unusual re quest. He had feasted, it seems heavier than usual. In consequence his meal ticket had expired early i the week.
 He delayed the disagreeable task a long as his stomach would permi Then he approached WOlfley, bushes ). manager, with Q request that a mes - ticket be advanced him. A long wa c ensued, during which period Wolfe '' carefully scanned his accounts.
 Cant you wait until Monda!

Bush?" he finally shot at the half starved foreman.
 "Oh,-yes." Bush replied. T haven't had anything to eat since Monday, so a couple of more days won't hurt me any, I guess"
 It was in this period, however, that The Republican first began to gain prestige about the state Mir. Mills the South Side departments at Tempe and Mesa. He resigned in the spring of 1894 because of the infrequency and inadequacy of the pay envelope. He had resigned many times before, but in some manner funds were all ways forthcoming, at the crucial mo- ment
 It can be truthfully said. notwith- standing those periods of depression, that no one was ever beaten out of his or her wages. Said wages came eventually.
 It was on July 4. 1892, that The 1 Republican published its first great edition-a special issue consisting of l 100 pages.
 1 All through this period. The Repub- lican had remained faithful to the political party from which it took its name. Then Business Manager Wolfley took a liking Ito William ; Jennings Bryan, Democratic candidate for president. He publicly took up the Bryan fight in Phoenix and grad ually The Republican began to lose it's prestige. When Mckinley finally was elected Wolfley lost his hold and Frank ld. Murphy purchased the pa per in 1898 for Charles c. Randolph for a sum said to be $6000. less than the cost of a modern linotype machine of the present day.
 From that day on the paper pros pered. It grew by leaps and bounds and much credit for it's success is placed at the door of Harvey J. Lee, who directed it's destinies as business manager.
 Later the paper was purchased by Dr. G. W. Nickers and $. M. McCowan then superintendent of the Indian School, who in turn sold it to s. w Higley and Sims Ely Both J. w Spear. present editor, and Charles A Stauffer, present general manager served under MT. Higley. The present management purchased the paper from Mir Higley.

ADVERTISING IN THE REPUBLICAN HAS MADE RECORD PAST TWO YEARS

The advertising department of The republican is located on the nezzanine tloor' reached by stairway from the main business office and easily access iole. The Republican is justly proud of the advertising record it has made. record that has given it name throughout the country in advertising circles.
 For the past four months The Re- publican has carried a minimum of for the past two years the advertising 10000 inches of advertising, each month for the past two years the ad- verusing being greater than the corre- sronding month of any previous year in the history of the paper. The serv- ice department of this branch of the paper renders efficient cooperation to both local and national advertisers in the preparation of complete adver- Using campaigns. including the prep aration of copy. The Republican has the service of some of the nations best commercial artists through the syndi- cated service of Meyer Both of Chi cago and Ad-Art of Cleveland.
 A complete system of handling this art work for all lines of business is installed in the advertising depart ment, so that illustrations for any line of business or event are easily access ible. The service department includes the making of investigations into trade conditions and market possibilities.
 The advertising department is in charge of w c. McMillen, advertising manager, whose assistant is Fred Myers. Service department work is in charge of Harold C. Hess while the art department is headed by J. Webb Smith. Other members of this depart ment in charge of territories and spe- cial lines of work are Paul Ceilings Jean White, Ralph Willard and Maud Mawemson.

CAMPING in Morocco.

Camping is fine art In Morocco,
where the roads are almost impossible,
and the chief means OF transportation
is by caravan. All day one rides
across the great plains, prOdigally COW
cred with iris, daffodils, daisies, butter
cups and Wild lavender. Perhaps a
wild band of horsemen will gallop by,
their robes, sea green, salmon colored,
and blue, streaming In the wind, their
horses richly caparisOned like those OF
some crusading king.
Occasionally one skirts a little VII
lage built of mud and waffle and bar
ley. Here and there the white domed
shrine of some saint rises serenely
above the plain. And at shutdown the
shepherds playing on their reed flutes
drive their flocks Of sheep and goats
home from pasture. Then It Is time to
pitch the tents near grove OF orange
trees or on fairy carpet Of red anem-
ones. One dimes on roasted sheep
and CONSCIOUS, and In lulled to sleep
by the songs of the guard under the
intense blue OF the African sky.

Buy Your Coal Direct .
From Mine-Big Saving

The high cost Of coal Is q thing OF
the past! AT least, there are no COM
plants on this reconnaissance the re-
Inoval Of government restrictions
among those who have learned how to
buy coal. The way to buy coal is to
get 1t direct from the mines. This
saves several middlemen's profits It
saves hauling expenses. Anyone can
now buy at mine prices, whether q car
load buyer or one who uses only ten
or fifteen tons year. This has
been made possible through plan
evolved by a large and old-estab-
lished concern, THE BERNICE COAL
COMPANY. with main offices at
Como Building, Chicago.
This company has thousands of Gus
toners in various sections Of the
United States who receive all of their
coal direct from the Mines These Gus
toners are pleased not only because
Of the many dollars they save every
year. but also because of the quality
of coal they are getting. Many write
that they never before had coal that
makes SO little dust. that burns so
well, leaving SO few ashes IF you are
q coal user--whether you use hard or
soft coal, much or little-it will be
greatly to your advantage to write the
Bernlce Coal Co. at once for prices,
stating kind and quantity Of coal you
use,
