Clifton Sanitary District.

A petition is being circulated and numerously signed asking the board of county supervisors to designate the fol- lowing boundaries of the sanitary district for Clifton:
 "On the north by the Chinese garden, owned by James Colquhoun; on the south by Metz's Flat; on the east by line running north and south through the high peak or butte directly east of the town of Clifton; and on the west by what is known as the Stone House, on Chase Creek"
 Under the law the constable is ex-officio sanitary inspector, but what can he do towards cleaning up town of three thousand inhabitants with four dol lars 8 week, which is all that is allowed an inspector by the laws of the territory. Clifton needs cleaning up and the citi zens will be compelled to defray the ex- pense. The ERA hopes that the next Arizona legislature will take a sensible view of the sanitary condition of the various towns of the territory and do something toward remedying the law touching upon the subject.

REBELS AGAINST LETTERS.
Indian Society Resents the Demands
of the Vicereine's Relatives.

London, July 1O.-Passengers arriving
from Simla on the last Indian steamer re-

raging at the Indian summer capital be-

Letter of Chica go-demand the same hon.
age paid to them by Simla society as is
paid to the wife of the viceroy- Several
officers wives rebelled against such an
order of things and refused to attend
functions at which the Letters were pres
ent. As there are only 800 white persons
at Simla, the situation became exceeding
" uncomfortable and the social season has
been failure.
Several society leaders left Sirnla rather
than accede to the Letters social demands.
Mrs Letter, they say, is ambitious to lead
in Indian society and the refugees have
appealed to the VicerOy to settle the dis
pute- The professionals claim it is too
much to expect them to render the same
homage to the relatives of Lord CurZOn' 5
wife they would to members of the Eng
hsh royalty. The Indian papers are ridi-
culing the whole dispute.
Never before has India known such
brilliant court as that so royalty ruled by
the American woman. Every detail of
the etiquette of the court of the queen is
copied to the minutest detail and state
functions are the most gorgeous in the
uniforms of the Indian service.
Lady CurZOn receives all the honors
paid to royalty. When she drives files of
troops precede and follow her carriage
and guard is mounted at her palace. The
court moves en- maSSe from Calcutta to

ing the total expended to the date Of

will satisfactorily dispose of all the

FOR A NATIONAL PARK.
Movement on Foot to Preserve Forest
Lands In Minnesota

Chicago. July 1O-The Times-Herald
today will say:
A national park or forestry reserve
association for the governmental pre-
servatiOn of over 1000 900 acres of land
in northern Minnesota will be formed
in Chicago this month. The organiza-
ton starts with the cordial endorse
ment of Governor Theodore Roosevelt
of New York, President Hill of the
Great Northern railway, Colonel John
S. Cooper of this city, and prominent
congressman and government officials
interested in the immediate creation of
great national reserves for the preser-
walton of native forests and streams
and the perpetuation of the game of the
land
The project is made doubIy important
through the fact that the friends and
promoters of the reserve have also in
view the placing under governm entail
charge all of the lands surrounding the
head waters of the historic Mississippi
river.
The tract includes the Leech Lake
district and EN- braces the counties of
Crow Wing, Aitken, Wadeno, Hubbard,
BeItrama, and Itasca, containing over
1000 lakes.

Mr.. Hollis ultimately got in the habit of

sent several of the boys to the hospital
from over earting peanuts, and when they
explained to their parents where they
