Philippine Hard Woods.
rom the Newark Advertis

Hard woods from the Philippines will
soon come into considerable use In the
United States. At Portland, Ore, expert
ments are to be made with these woods.
It is found that the nara wood, sort Of
mahogany, can be laid down in Portland
for from $125 to $3.50 per 1000 feet board
measure. while the common eastern oak re-
tails there for $120 per 1,00O. The cost OF
Philippine mahogany in Portland Is only
about half as much as that Of the South
American mahogany. The forests of the
Philippines are nearly all hard woods OF
different varieties. and the natives use the
most valuable woods for ordinary pur-
poses. Under Spanish rule the inSular
forests were never utilized for commerce.
American enterprise will now develop a
great industry. and. Philippine woods will
eventually displace other Imported woods

THE ERA regrets that there seems

THE ERA regrets that there seems to have been a misunderstanding be- tween the Clifton school board and Mir James Colquhoun, the general manager of the Arizona Copper Co.,, anent the proposition of building a new school house for this precinct. Mir. Colquhoun's letter. exnlainino the matter, will be found in another col umn. Mir. Colquhoun states that he is ready on behalf of his company to pro- ceed with the erection of the building as soon as the plans can be drawn. It is MT. Colquhoun's intention to build a large two-story brick school house am pie for the needs of the district for many years to come. He has already selected most favorable site for the building in North Clifton. This is a matter which touches the pocket of every tax payer in the district, as the erection of the building by the com pany will not only save them the S12,- 900 in bonds, but more than twice that amount in interest, and at the same time give them larger and better building. Under the circumstances it would seem wise to vote down the bond proposition and allow the company to assume the burden which they so gen erously promised some time since, and which they have at all times stood ready to carry out. The tax rate is certainly high enough without unnec- essarily increasing it. In this connec- tion it may be we'll to remember that the change in the poll tax law by the last legislature will reduce the school funds in this county many thousands From now on it will be a serious matter to maintain our schools without paying interest and providing a sinking fund on large issue of bonds.

A MOST sensational telegram was sent out from Phoenix to the associat- cd press in regard to dance now be- ing given by the Apaches on the San Carlos reservation. The dispatch is lengthy and states that much tisswin is being consumed by the Indians. who are swearing vengeance against the whites, and the whites are greatly worried. THE ERA does not believe that there is one word of truth in this statement. The associated press cor respondents at both Phoenix and Tue son arc noted as being the biggest liars in all Arizona. Their sensational stuff should not be given space in any reput- able paper. They are continually do- ing the territory irreparable injury The newspapers of Phoenix and Tue son have frequently denounced these correspondents apparently without any good effect. The citizens should take the matter in their own hands and if the associated press will not employ reputable and honest men as corres- pondeuts, then they should see to it that these sensational artists are de- prived of a residence within the terri tory. They are an aggregation of col lossal liars, and curse to tho territory. Out with them!

The new game law provides that it is unlawful between the first day of March and the fifteenth day of October, to hunt, pursue, take, kill or destroy, bob-white, cartridges, grouse, pheas- ant or any kind of wild duck, goose, brant, snipe or rail, and those who in- dulge in such sport shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. The same law applies to lark, thrush, sparrow, swallow, grosbeak or tanger, or any other song bird. Deer and wild turkey can only be killed between the fifteenth day of November and the fifteenth day of December. No person can kill more than one male deer in one day or have more than three carcasses of deer in his possession more than three male deer in one season, nor more than twenty-five ducks or quail in any one day. Netting or snaring birds is pro- hiblted. The law is also very explicit in regard to fishing, and those in the habit of fishing out Of season stand a chance of getting into serious trouble. The Morenci gun club proposes to see the law rigidly enforced. Better look a little outr boys.

THE excuse offered by the friends of Collector Hoey that he is being perse- cuted because he is not in favor of Mark Hanna for president, is pretty thin. It is quite possible that Mir Hanna was not even aware that the collector was throwing his vast politi- cal influence in Arizona to Mir. Bever- idge. If MT. Hoey, who is a Johnny come-lately, was devoting his time and the influence of his office to secure a delegation for Mir. Beveridge, he should have been removed. He was not ap- pointed for that purpose, and had he attended to the duties of his office in- stead Of gallivanting over the territory in the interest Of his political ambition, he would not now have the penitentiary staring him in the face. Let's see, didn't the last republican platform say something about appointing home men to federal positions in the terri tory? Of course that was before cleo tion, but at any rate it was overlooked in Mir. Hoey's selection. It might be we'll for the administration to appoint an Arizonian collector at the post of Nogales. Arizona republicans are hungry for pie. but they are not apt to make a worse mess of it than the h. dian variety.

The Fl Paso News is authority for tho statement that Public meetings arc being held in San Juan county at the extreme northwest corner of New Mexico, to determine whether funds shall be given or bonds issued for a railway from Durango via Aztec and Farmington to Gallup to Clifton or Deming, to put the northwest in reach of Fl Paso, Arizona, the Gulf of Mex ico and the Gulf of California. Survey. ors are strung out along the line, and data as to probable business to be devel- opcd is now being gathered by agents. Called the Durango X Gulf, it may prove to be an important span of di- rect system from the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of California-to Salt Lake and Denver, as there are connec. tions from Durango to Colorado and Utah points, making possible route much shorter than any railway yet con- structei"

TIE Fl Paso Herald, in putting a head over q telegram from Piketown. Ohio, stating that two women were killed and several more seriously wounded, announced that You are not Reading About Arizona Now" This is an uncalled for reflection upon Arizona. When it comes to social functions of the Piketown variety, Texas can usually hold her own with any of them, while it is seldom that moro than one man is killed at a ball in Arizona. The society young men of Arizona arc too gallant to take the life of partner in such an uncivilized manner. Women are too scarce in Ari- zona to allow such Il slanderous report to go out to tho world without cor rcction. It is now in order for the Herald to make an humble apology to ArizOnn

CONTRACT LET.
For Construction of Branch from
 Lordsburg to Hachita.

From J. H. Simmons, superintendent Of the Arizona and New Mexico rail- road, it is learned that contract was let Thursday Of last week to Caples, Powers & O'Connor of Fl Paso, for the extension of the Arizona and New Mexico railroad from Lordsburg to 'Hachita. The construction work will be commenced about October first, and will be pushed as rapidly as possible. In speaking of the contract Mir. Powers said: The bids were all opened We'd nesday at the Arizona Copper com panys office at Clifton and Thursday we got the contract. Our contract pro- vides that we must complete the road for operation on or before March 3l, next. We must do the grading, track laying, bridge building and turn the road over complete. Tn order to com ply with the terms of our contract, we will put construction force to work on tho line next month. "The people of Clifton were highly elated Thursday on learning the contract had been let. They are eager for direct connection with Fl Paso over some other line than the $. P. This new line will certainly bring big trade to Fl Paso."
 The completion of this extension of the Arizona and New Mexico railroad, to a connection with the Fl Paso Southern will give Clifton and Morenci new outlet to Fl Paso. the railroad center of the southwest. It will also give a connection with the Santa Fe at Deming.
 Since the widening of the gauge on the Arizona and New Mexico railroad, the service has been equal to that of any road in the west. The track is in good condition, and while nearly all Of the roads of the southwest have been badly washed out, causing delays of many days at time, the A. & N. M. has rarely been delayed more than an hour or two by washouts. This is not because of shortage of rain, but is bO CIC ldCG blIaU bllC provided against floods before the rainy season started. Mr. Simmons believes in the old adage ian ounce of prevent i've is worth pound of cure" If other roads would adopt the same policy they would have less trouble. With the completion of this new extension the Arizona and New Mexico railroad will have a line more than one hundred miles in length, and it is doubtful if a better piece of road or one doing a larger business for its mileage, can be found in the world. The ERA hopes, and expects, that within a few years, the Arizona X New Mexico will be one of the most extensive railway lines in the southwest.

THE CLIFTON ERA is the most in- dustrious worker in Arizona. The prosperous camp now has but one rail. way line. But tho ERA has started to secure more, and in late editorial goes into details as to seven railways that shall extend to the town, or run trains over leased tracks. Fl Paso hopes that the ERA will land every railway on the string, and if some of them do not go there, this city stands ready to help with an independent line. Clifton is an industrial center that will ever be busy and prosperous, and it has a news paper in keeping with the spirit of the place.-El Paso News.

COLLECTOR HOKY, Of NOgales, charged with a conspiracy to smuggle Chinese into this country, was given Il preliminary hearing before the U. s. commissioner at Nogales last week, and was bound over in the sum of 5000. The charges against the late Chinese inspector, MT. Jossey, were dismissed. The testimony against Hoey seems to be very strong. Hoey Is very popular throughout Southern Arizona, and hi. many friends declare that he is the victim of q political plot.

POUNDED HER FACE.
Sergeant Carpenter Uses Fists
on Vera NOEL

Hank" Carpenter, sergeant of the
police force, visited Vera Noel Friday
afternoon, at the latter's disorderly
house at 800 Kansas avenue. He went
for the purpose of beating Miss NoePs
face. it is said, and according to the
story told by Marie Jones, the colored
servant employed at the house, he not
only pounded Miss NoeTs face, but tore
Off her clothes, threw her about the
room. smashed the furniture, and left
his victim in dilapidated condition
Vera Noel's front door was locked
this morning and as she has a private
telephone at her establishment, she was
called up and asked about the truth of
the story She denied it. She said that
she had not seen Mr.. Hank Carpenter
for three or four DAYS.
This last statement of Vera -NoeTs
was undoubtedly false, for z. r. Hays,
the commission man whose place of
business is directly under Miss NoePs
esta blishment, J. r. Folger, the barber
at 81 Kansas avenue and others living
IN the vicinity, state that Hank Car
penter has been seen to go UP to Miss
NoeIs place every day for a week, and
moreover, they state that Carpenter
went up to Vera NoePs place at 10
O'Clock this morning, and had not come
down at 1:30 o'clock. He must have
been there when Miss Noel assured the
State Journal that she had not seen
him for three days.
J. F Folger, the barber, has a small
shop separated only by a vacant lot
from the Noel place. The back door
of Mr.. Folger's place commands a
good view of Vera NOeFs back stair
way. Mr.. Folger has been making
some observations, and says:
Il have seen Hank Carpenter go up
to Vera Noels place almost every day
for the past few months. He often
takes up with him fruit and other del
1cacies. He stays up there several
hours, sometimes, and comes down the
back way. I have seen him do this so
often that can't be mistaken about it.
Marie, the coIored girl who works
for Vera Noel, told me all about the
beating which Hank Carpenter gave to
the woman. She says that the reason
was that Carpenter said that he was
support her, and have her going with
other men, He claim ed to have dis
covered that she had been entertaining
other company In his absence"
Carpenter. the police oEScer accused
of these misdeeds. was a policeman
under Chief Strauss, and when Mayor
Hughes came into power he was made
a sergeant. He is married and has a
family.
Vera Noel has been packing up her
furniture for the purpose Of starting a
generally supposed that she had al
ready left. The carpets in her place
have been taken up. and this morning
the tread of feet in her room could be
distinctly heard from the store under
meath.

Boston. Aug 31-A special from Catau-
met to the Herald says
TT is rather unusual for four persons
in one family to meet death within a
period of one month Yet this occurred
IN the case of Mr. and Mrs Alden P Da-
Wis and their Two daughters, Mrs Irving

'.Rumor has it that the persons. or at

attend to the autopsy, he was also present
as expert employed by the state and
of the two bodies for chemical analysis.
This. in the minds Of many, shows that
the authorities are looking for poison The
fact that the Jacin house, which was the
home of the Davis family, was set on fire
four five times during the interval be-
tween the death Of Mrs. Davis ana her
younger daughter. is considered as having
an important bearing on the case.
Whether the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs.

result of the autopsy held yesterday. The
result of the autopsy performed viii not
