him in fourth place in the singles
event.

New leaders appeared in the city
tourney doubles play Monday night,
when "ChucIS" Schott and Sargent
of the EN- Roe team turned in games
of 1856, 446 and 435 for a total of
1861. "Chuck" SchoN was captain
of this team by narrow margin of

A. J., were next high for doubles
play, getting a total of 1,211, which
lands them in seventh place.
Tonight's play brings on some
more good tenpin FOUNDERS, and it
surely looks, from standpoint of
high scoring, this tourney will be a
record breaker. Wednesday night
will bring on the final squads and
the tourney will be a thing for stove
league gossip only. New champions
will have appeared in every class of
play, as all of last years champs
have rolled and failed to repeat.

Nogales international., 1926-09-19

Celebrating the opening of
i their one hundred and fiftieth
j store, the Western Auto Supply
4 Company is now holding great
money saving sale on standard
articles of Western Auto equip
ment, which is in effect in all of
their $50 stores throughout the
West and will continue for two
4 weeks.
( AS a token of the Company's
appreciation of the patronage
that has made the tremendous
growth possible during the past
ten years, the Western Auto
Supply Company is giving to each
tire purchaser during this sale a
new standard inner tube, at half
price.
Throughout the two weeks of
the sale standard Western Auto
merchandise in the most popular
accessories will be offered at
prices considerably less than the
regular Western Auto low prices
at which these goods are sold.
The prices and the inner tube
sale will be in effect in all West
ern Auto stores, wherever they
may be located.
The first Western Auto Supply
Company store was opened on the
Pacific Coast in 1916 by George
Pepperdine, founder of the Com
pany and it's present head. This
small store was opened with a
stock worth approximately $4,000.
Mr.. Pepperdine had had some pre-
vious experience in the automo-
bile accessory business in a mid
ole western state and came to Los
Angeles with a thorough realiza-
ton of the value of advertising
and the friends that could be
made by selling standard mer-
chandise at as a low a cost as
possible consistent with quality,
ond standing absolutely back Of
every sale that was made. This
policy, which has continued in
effect through the entire growth
CT the Company, has probably
been the secret of this organiza-
tons success.
From the modest start with
one store in 1916, the Western
Auto Supply Company grew to a
chain of 20 stores in 1920, and
the business had increased to an
annual worth of about 100000.
This business was then incorp-
Grated and additional capital Sc
cured through the sale stock, a
large portion of the stock being
purchased by employees of the
Company. The business was ex-
tended to all the large towns and
cities in the Pacific Coast states
and grew with such rapidity that
the 150th store was recently
opened.
Western Auto now has 100
stores in California, and one or
more stores in every other i'm
portant community in Arizona,
Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico,
Utah, Oregon, Washing
ton, Wyoming, Montana, and the
Hawaiian Islands.
The growth of the Western
Auto Supply Company is actual
ly the growth of an idea plus
determination on the part of one
man to see his idea through. The
courage Of George
in rigidly adhering to
MS policies in the face Of COM
nati%iou h0%h Fafr ond unfair

Western Auto Holds $50
Store Celebration Sale

has resulted in the building up Of
a business that had turnover of
over $11,000,000 in 1925.
In building up this chain Of
accessory stores, acknowledged to
be the greatest organization of
its kind in the world, Mr.. Pepper
dine was ably assisted by his wife,
Mrs. L. R. Pepperdine, who since
the very start of the business has
been actively associated with it
IN an executive capacity and
works just as hard as her hus
band. Mrs. Pepperdine is Vice
President and Treasurer of the
concern and has the reputation of
being one of the most able finan-
ciers in the West.
Mr.. Pepperdine, in commenting
on the sale which will inaugurate
the anniversary celebration. stated
that one of the reasons for his
Company's success was the fact
that they were able to sell, and
consistently did sell, standard
automobile equipment at a price
that resulted in a considerable
money saving to the purchaser.
With the growth of from one
to $50 stores in ten years. Il
would be interesting to know
what the future has in store for
the Western Auto Supply Com
pany. The history of this or
ganization is definite proof that
the notorist is quick to realize
the savings offered in purchasing
automobile equipment from a
concern of this kind.

Registration Books Reopen
For General Fall Election

| The registration books for the
registering of qualified electors
in Santa Cruz county reopeneC
Tuesday September IA and viii
remain open until October Is.
The books had been closed since
August 27, ten days before the
primary election as the law re-
CURES. The ten-day period in
which the registration books are
J closed was to allow time for pre-
lparing the official list of quail,
fled voters.
Following are four important
rulings in the registration of
voters.
Registration Period
Registration of all electors in
the state of Arizona, will begin
| on the first Monday in May MAY
2rd, 1926, and will continue un-
! til the tenth day before the pri-
mary election, or until Angus!
l>27th, 1926, at o'clock p. M,
at which time the books will be
closed for II days and no regi-
stration will be made until Sep
TENDER 14th, at which time the
books will again be open and
| registering will again continue
until October 18th, 1926, at s
O'Clock p. m.
I Qualifications of Electors
\ Every elector must be 81 years
of age, or over, a citizen of the
United States, either by birth OF
naturalization; a resident of the
state for one year prior to the
general election, and a resident
! Of the county and precinct fol-
80 days; must be able to read the
AConstitution of the United States
/ in the English language, and be
liable to write his or her name un.
Hess physically unable to do So
idiots, insane persons, and per-
sons non compos mentis or un.
Ger guardianship, persons con
victed of treason or felony shall
not be qualified to register.
i Naturalization
p If elector is naturalized citi
Nogales international., 1926-09-19

zen he must present his second
or final papers to the registra-
tlon officer, else such papers are
lost or destroyed, he cannot be
registered. If, however, the cleo
tor will be permitted to register
upon executing and filing with
the registering officer an af-
fidavit giving the time, place and
court of issuance of such papers,
end the. fact of their loss or
destruction and circumstances
connected Herewith.
The above applies to women as
veil as men and contrary to the
practice in the past, women do
not become naturalized by mar
rage to citizens of the United
States but must also make ap-
plication for citizenship in like
manner as men. This does not
apply to cases prior to Septem-
Der %, 1922.
Where Registered
Electors must register in the
precicnt where they reside, to
enable them to vote at any pri-
mary or general election. The
law by which person, if not on
the register could vote at the
polls, has been omitted from the
code, now in force, and in order
to vote at any primary or gen.
eral or special election, the cleo
tors name must appear on the
register of the precinct wherein
he or she resides.
The same registration officers
will holdover office for the Sec
end registration preparatory for
the general election, Nov. 2. Vot-
ers can register at the office of
any justice of the leace, at the
county recorders office or with
the registration officials who will
canvas the county.
At the primaries it was found
that number of people could
not vote on account Of not being
registered properly. These par
ties should re-register and correct
their registration so as to be able
to vote at the general election.

Objections were entered on be

ton on the grounds that the Com
pany's franchise to operate over the
streets of WinslOW had expired
The point was discussed at consid-
cradle length in the testimony and
voluminous briefs thereon, were
filed setting forth the views of the
contending parties. In view of our
conclusions for other reasons, it is
unnecessary for us to discuss this
point at length.
After full consideration of all the
issues involved in this case, we are
of the opinion and find that insuffi-
cient justification exists for the
granting of the proposed increases.
and that the application should be

and working capital amounted 10
$50,802.54
1t is the contention Of the Com
pany that the value of the service
has been greatly increased, by yir-
tue Of the greater number of sub
scribers and that the existing rates
are both relatively and actually too
low The statistical data submitted
by the Company indicates that it
has failed to earn the allowable
return of eight per cent on its in
vestment ever since the Winslow
Plant was purchased. The deficit
for the year ended Sept, 1923,
amounted to $3,9S000 and for the
same period in 1924, $3,246.00
1t is a well established fact that,
contrary to the usual rule, the unit
cost of telephone service increases
in about the same ratio that sub
scribers are added and that there
fore, the larger the population of a
given community or exchange, the
higher the rates must be. 1t is for
this reason that in the larger cities
of the nation, that the rates are
greatly in excess Of those in the
smaller towns and cities.
The Winslow System when abb
sorbed by the Mountain States
Company, is said to have been in
a very poor condition. 1t is alleged
that it was poorly constructed and
that satisfactory service, both To-
cally and between that point and
the County Seat ,Holbrook, was al
most impossible. Subsequent to it's
absorption, it was rehabilitated and
converted into modern, up-to-date
plant, affording the same high class
service which obtains elsewhere on
the Mountain States System. In
1922 and 1928, it was stated that
more than $20,000.00 were spent in
additions and betterments to the
outside plant and central office
equipment.
1t was represented that the real
purpose behind the present appli-
cation was to enable the Company
to make further additions and i'm

quately care for the expanding
business in that community. 1t is
also desired to establish the party
lines system. 1t is estimated that
the cost of adding one hundred sub
scribers would approximate $4,000
90, and stated that the additional
revenues which would be secured
from the proposed increased would
be about sufficient to meet the

definite showing to the effect that
there is an immediate demand for

readjusted in a manner that would
create substantial increases over
existing rates.
Pursuant to notice duly given,
the case came in for hearing at the
City Hall in Winslow on March II,
1926
At the present time the rates are
800 for individual business phones
and $500 for individual residence
phones. No party line rates are in
effect.
1t is proposed to establish a rate
of $4.00 for individual business

dence phones; $3.50 for tWo-party

A petition extensively signed by
the citizens of Winslow consenting
to the proposed increases was filed
by the Company at the time that
it's application for increase was
submitted. At the time of the hear
ing another petition, numerOusly

subscribers.
The Winslow Plant was origin
ally an Independent system and was
purchased by the Mountain States
Company on August 1, 1918. There
were then 253 subscribers. On
October 81, 1925, the number of
subscribers had been increased to

it was stated that there were 597
subscribers. Within this time it
was stated, that the investment of
the Company had more than
