TIE WEATHER.

The wind wheeled around into the east
Sunday evening and the clouds lowered and
thickened, portending falling weather.
The snow began to fall about O'Clock
yesterday morning and continued all day
yesterday, although part Of that time but
little fell. 1t now lies six inches deep. being
the greatest depth this season. The street
car company Were forced TO put their snow
pillow at work again, and had hard time to
keep their track open.
Nearly all the vehicles are on runners
once more and the merry ring OF the sleigh
bells were heard up to late hour last night.
The day was very disagreeable and business
was well nigh suspended.

One of the teams of the Rogers Coal COM

failed to make a mash on anything. Some

started. The driver ran and climbed into
the wagon but the lines had gotten down
and Were dragging upon the snow. When
the pace became hot the engineer of the
wildcat train got down and out Of the wagon
and took roll to himself. The team was
stopped at the company's office, no dam

PERSONAL AND LOCAL ITEMS OF NEWS
The Clifton clarion., 1885-12-16

THE Flagstaff Champion is now perfectly satisfied that Flagstaff is the coming town Tn the Territory. Not long ago a Phoenix paper was boasting in most confident terms about the future of Phoenix. The generally accepted opinion of we'll posted travellers is that Clifton Is and is going to be the "boss camp" Tn the Territory. Just as soon as our esteemed contempora ries stop to take breath after prais- ing their own towns, we propose to boom this burg. We feel a hesitancy, so long as any one town claims to be the foremost, because, according to grammar and logic, there can be only one superlative degree, and it is always best to be careful in such little things. It would hardly do for us all to clam to be the most enterprising and the most fourishlng at tEe same time. Let each town take its turn to crow.

W. H. VANDERBILT, the money king of America Is dead. For many years he has been one of the most prominent men in public life, but his loss cannot be regarded as a calamity to any one but his per sonol friends. What good he might have done for the poor and unfortunate is very small compar- ed with what little he did do. He simply had genius for collecting and holding together vast sums of money. He was not a great man m anr nthar sanse- Few persons in later years will cherish his memory. He did nothing to help along the human race or to endear him to his fellow beings. Like the unthrifty servant in the par able, he buried his talent in the sand, now when the Master cometh for him, he must render up his wealth and all, and can make no good showing of the use this vast power for good was put to. The good his millions might have done is enormous: the good he did with them is insignificant.
