Henry Hill has recently enhanced the appearance of his residence in Hill's addition by adding a new coat of paint. C. B. Nonnatnaker, manager of the A. C. Longfellow store at Morenci, is becoming heavily interested in farm ing lands in the lower valley. The L. B. Elliott dwelling on Hill's new addition has recently changed hands, the new owner being Frank Springer, proprietor of the Fashion barbe rshop. L. V. Hoyt, one of the employes at the Gold Belt mines, spent a few days of this week in Clifton on a visit to his family. He reports the the mill is doing good work. J. H. Cread-, one of the the Shannon smelter, has purchased a lot on Hill's bosses at : recently addition, with the object of building a home in the future. Rumor has it that a building wave is coming for Clifton and that in the near future there may be several new dwellings erected on Hill's addi tion. It has now been a year since very much building was going on in I Clifton. L. Garcia, one of the owners of the I the matter in the right light there second hand store on Chase, has re- i would be many candidates for the cently entered suit in the district place especially so if they are in court at Globe against W. H. Hagan, terested in the educational advant- i e i u : u 1 i claiminsr damages in a transaction in which a bunch of goats are the main issue. The town council has arranged with the water company for the iustaUa- : tion of a stand pipe on Hill's addi tion for the accommodation of the street sprinkler. This addition will enable better service as it will save the 'wagon long trips from the cen tral part of town. C. W. Marks, one of the old time ! residents of Morenci. spent Tuesday of this week in Clifton selling his Easy Way washing machines. He reports that a number of the Clifton people have tried them and after be- coming acquainted with their merits ; are well pleased with them. Don't forget the two football games in Clifton Saturday and Sunday afternoons between the crack teams of Clifton and Bisbee. Both teams are evenly matched and it will be a contest for the championship of the territory. All of the best players in Clifton will be in the game. On account of the high expenses and poor support the basket ball boys are complaining of their poor finan cial success of the season and it is i not likely that a great manv morel games will be played. The boys 1 usually work hard and after the game j is over they are forced to dig into j their pockets aud make good the I thortage.

After gettiilg along fdr years with out the attention Bf a single oil com pany Clifton has now succeeded in capturing the agencies of both the Standard and Texas oil companies. Both have been busy the pas'; two months putting in tanks and erecting large buildings the Standard being located on the lower end of Hill's addition and the Texas company is located on Shannon hill. Both com panies have locations suitable for the convenient handling of oil from the cars into the large storage tanks. The companies will handle gasoline, distillate and fuel oil quite exten sively, but they will also hardle re fined lubricating oils in fact every thing in the oil department. Both companies are installing special plants and will do their own canning on the ground. They will run special delivery to any part of the town and will not cater to the re tail trade. In former years the con sumers have been compelled to pay high prices for all classes of oil and it is quite certain that competition between these two companies in this field will be the means of making prices more reasonable than they have ever been in the history of Clif toii. Old timers remember the time when consumers had to pay $4 50 per case for gasoline, but during the past several months it has been re duced somewhat. When the com panies open for business there will no doubt be a substantial decrease in the present price. This district is an important oil consumer and both companies will secure a big business, in fact about as much as it will be possible for them to handle. Veterinary Surgeon to Locate Here. P. R. Corken, a veterinary surgeon of much experience, arrived in Clif ton last week to engage in the prac tice of his business, and attention is called to his ad. which appears in another column of this paper. Mr. Corken is from Oklahoma, where be was engaged in his professiou for some time. He finds that Clifton is an excellent field for his business, owing to the fact that there are a number of valuable animals here. He states that he came here to stay, provided the stock owners see fit to patronize him ajjd he can make a living. School Election. An election has been called for Saturday, March l!)tb, for the purpose of electing one trustee in district No. 3. The retiring trustee is Mr. J. H. Magruder, who has served the dis trict the past three years in a most creditable manner. Just who the I candidates are is not known, but it is understood that more interest will be taken in this election than any previ our one and the vote will be a heayy one. The ladies are behind the move an as tn's is tne only time that the ladies have a chance to vote they will probably exercise the privilege to the fullest extent. The public schools are of much more interest to residents of Clifton than seems to be realized and our people should exercise more interest in them. As a general thing it is a difficult matter to get anybody to run for the position of trustee for the simple reason that the candidates are afrau that they will have some- thin" to do. If citizens will look at ages ui meir cuuui eu wunu u pn ents are. Everybody Getting Ready for Base Ball. Bisbee, Douglas Cananea, Morenci and other cities of the southwest, are getting ready for base ball and Clif ton will not fall behind the wave. Already some of the outside teams are writing for games, Douglas being desirous of pulling off the first games in April with a team representing Clifton. Others have inquired about the pr0spects for Clifton and Morenci and are anxious to have this district in the field as we usually have teams that will please the public. Just at the present date Clifton has no full line-up, but the locals are in connec ton wtn seVeral players and just as soon as arrangements can be made for belter organization the team will be pulled together. A meeting has been called for Saturday evening, March 19th, to winch the public is cordially invited and especially requested to take active part in the formation of plans. Last year Clifton and Morenci were in the game and playing good ball, but if present plans are consummated we wiil be witnessing some hot games before the end of April. The wearing of the "green" has been the order of today and few of the "Irish" are wearing overalls. The Ladies Aid of the Baptist church will hold a food sale at Billingsley's store next Saturday afternoon, 2 to 5 o'clock. Those desiring to purchase sjme good things to eat should not fail to take advantage of this op portunity. Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Anderson spent a couple of days of this week in Clif- luu on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. G. A. l''ranz and other old time friends. Before moving tfl the valley three years ago Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were residents of Clifton, and still have a host of friends who are always C'aa to see tnem.

One of the extensive owners of the Fraser row and who has explicit con- fidence in the future of Clifton is C. P. Dunn, who is the owner of the handsome Shannon store building, j besides several dwellings and a first-j class drug store and moving picture ( show on Chase creek. The new im provement Mr. Dunn will make in South Clifton is the erection of a j handsome two-story cement buildihg equipped with a large basement. The first floor of the new building is to be occupied as a cafe and the up- ! per floor will be divided into five Í three-room apartments, supplied with bath and toilet and all modern con veniences. The plans are drawn but the contract has not yet been let, j though Mr. Dunn announces that he will get down to business in a ver- , short time The n w structure will adjoin the Sii "Wn etore building and when completed will add to the appearances of that section of town. It is in this section of town that the Knights of Pythias lodge last week closed a deal for an excellent piece of property on which a large castle hall will be erected in the future, and this in addition to other possible improvements, will make the Fraser row an important center. Eagle Residents Want Rural Delivery. For several years the residents of upper Eagle, in the neighborhood of the Double Circle ranch, haye been endeavoring to receive some consid eration from the posloHice depart ment regarding the establishment of a postofflce and mail service in that section. During the past few weeks a petition was circulated and fifty five names were secured. This peti tion has been sent to the postofflce department at Washington and should receive proper consideration which insures the establishing of rural deliver-, as the rule requires but fifty signatures. There are more than sixty people r siding in that vicinity who will g t their mail at the Double Circle i inch if a post office is established there and if it is taken into consideration that that section is settling up rapidly the postoffice department is almost cer tain to grant the request. Those who are working on the proposition report that they are re ceiving the support ot the local postoffice, which may help them to get the service established. In that section are represented some of the biggest cattlemen in the territory, besides there are quite a few settlers there who have located homesteads for farming purposes. If you want to see some high kick ing don't fail to attend the football games between Bisbee and Clifton Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Mrs. W. L. Neel, who has recently been sick with diphtheria at the family home at Coronado, has recov ered and the quarantine has been raised. Mrs. Norman Carmichael enter tained a number of her friends in Clifton last Saturday afternoon. The afternoon was spent in playing cards and the pleasures were ter minated with the serving of dainty refreshments. Those who attended report a most pleasant time. Several candidates who had not made good their appearance at the lodge room during or since the insti tution of the local Elks lodge, were rounded up last nijht and given value for their money, at least that is the report today. Mr. Kuntz, of Metcalf, was taken from the Met calf train when it arrived last even ing and shackles were used to make certain that he would not escape. An extra wild Clifton candidate was induced to cal! at the jail where a prisoner wanted to talk with him and when the door was opened the lock was snapped. Upon learning of the important capture an Era reporter called at the jail to interview the victim and there found that his old friend Bill Spaw was wondering what was going to happen to him before morning. Bill stated that he was innocent but that he was unable to convince those determined Elks that he would not run away and he iiad to remain in the dungeon until it came time for initiation. Bill has not been seen since, but it is reported that he passed through the work in good shape and will be able to attend to his business within a few days. Freeh Vegetables at Smith's store.

Baylor Shannon, one of the cattle men of the upper Eagle country, pent a couple of days in Clifton last ; week and in an interview with the : Era reporter stated that for some tijje cattle buyers have beeu over looking that section, being under the impression that all the good steers have been cleaned up. This is not the case as he says there are more than 1000 head of fat steers in that section that can be bought if a buyer ; would take a trip out there or get in I communication with some of the cat- j tie owners. It is a well known fact that for fat cattle and big weight the Eagle country is hard to beat and those desiring good feeders have al ways conceded that the Eagle truck is tj,c best they have ever struck, Cattle from that section seem to put i ou quicker than cattle fronn other, i-aoges. and as a matter of fact they w;jt compare with anything that can: IK. -feathered from the ranges of any cattle country.
