Prepare for Them !.


The EyaMfEisE; believes that.n now
IS the time to prepare for the com.

ance commence feeding. them

Killed in early spring meansa dozen
less squirrels later on.
No doubt the commissioners will
take some helpful steps at their
April meeting, but in the, meantime
a dollar or two expendedfor strych-
nine, in advance, will do a. power of
good, wlsen. THE squirrels come forth.
Bear Lake has arrived at that
point where a, systematic effort
musttbe made against these pests.
The EXAMINER has said before, and
we repeat 1t. again, that the best
method, in our judgment, Is for the
county TO buy the poison and then
select solNe reliable men In each
ward, or precinct to take charge Of
and distribute it. Select day or
two, of each week, and. on these
days let every. man and boy turn

tory oficaeh,precinct. Many vol
untccrs from the towns of the val
ley can be had TO assrst in the work.
AS to linking" the poison, John
Gfimsailt,> of Dingle, says the best
method he tried, is to use flour
literally mixed with sugar and
sirychnine.. The squirrels will eat
this mixture at all seasons of the
year. Others have found that. car

soaked In a solution of strychnint
water, is,a' most effective remedy

 L. s. Crawford, formerly in business here, but now residing in Carlsbad, \. NJ, spent several days in Clifton this week, shaking hands with old friends and incidentally looking after business matters in which he is interested. Mir. Crawford reports his section of country prosperous, but says it is not ''in it. with Clifton. The rapid progress and many improvements made here since his last visit were a great surprise to him and may induce him to return here to live. There is always plenty of room in Clifton for live men like Mir. Crawford and he will be welcomed should he decide to come back to reside.
 c. w. Mcfarland, a veteran news paper man of Arizona, who spent some weeks here visiting friends and enjoy ing life in the boss copper camp of the west, left Saturday last for Wicken- burg, which is just now enjoying big boom, where he proposes to start newspaper "The Gro Grande." !" which will make it's appearance in few weeks. Me. is more familiar with the various mining districts of Arizona than any other editor in the territory, and as he will devote his space almost entirely to mining, his paper will be most interesting, and will prove a factor in the development of the min eral resources of the southwest.

A Mexican residing here in Clifton few days ago received a letter from a relative in Mexico announcing the death of his mother. His grief became so uncomfortable that he sought relief in drink from the effects of which he become deranged and was placed in jail by Deputy Sheriff Lee Hobbs, where the poor fellow now languishes. At times he is violent, rending every stitch of clothing from his body, and yesterday he set fire to the bedding in his cell and came near perishing from suffocation. If he does not regain his mental balance soon he will be sent to Solomonville for examination, then to Phoenix to the insane asylum if found crazy enough to justify being sent there. In the meantime Mr. Hobbs has a white elephant on his hands.

THE BROAD GAUGE.
The First Train Reached Clifton Tuesday.-A Grand Cele-
 bratiOn.

The arrival of the first standard
 gauge train in Clifton over the Ari
 zona & New Mexico railroad, was ar event long to be remembered. It wa;
 the finishing of a work that will near much for the future prosperity Of the mining industry in this and the sur' rounding districts.
 The reception Of the train was par ticipated in by almost the entire popu' lation Of Clifton. Superintendent Col quhoun shut down the entire works Tuesday at noon, so that all might join in the hail to another important steI forward by Clifton.
 The train was scheduled to arrive al : o'clock Tuesday evening and came in promptly at that hour. A procession marched from the school house to the railroad bridge below town. In line was first the school children, who were followed by about fifty members of the Knights of Pythias and then came the Hispania-American Society of fifty or sixty members. The Clifton brass band led the procession. Besides the procession, proper, there was no less than 2,5OO people who had lined up on either side of the track all the way from the depot to the railroad bridge.
 When the procession arrived at the bridge a circle was made and it was lined upon the track in front of the Ta !, q hn movements of the procession while Superintendent Simmons signaled the moyements of the train. The train was thus escorted to the depot amid the roar of giant powder which was shot from the opposite bank of the river from the depot. Ste am whistles screamed q welcome and engine bells changed in the noisy salute. Each of a small American flag and the incom- ing locomotive (No. ID was literally covered with flags and bunting.
 James ColquhOun, general manager, and $. J. Simmons, superintendent of the railroad, received cheers and con gratulations on every hand upon the successful accomplishment of changing the gauge of Clifton's railroad.
 The train was in charge of the follow ing crew: T. H. Purcell, conductor; Geo. Knox, engineer; Wm. Hunter, fireman and Lou Marks, brakeman. On the engine was also "KickapoO" Smith, who was engineer on the first engine to cross the Colorado river at Yuma when the Southern Pacific track reached that point. The standard gauge train which received such a grand reception Tuesday evening con- sisted of ten loads.
 The work of changing the rails and track was commenced on May 7th and was completed in seven days. Since Tuesday all available men have been engaged in putting in the new side tracks and, necessarily, train service has been rather uncertain as to time since the 7th, but things are now rap idly assuming regularity and in a few days everything will be moving smoothly. There are now at Lords burg, 503 cars of freight destined for either Clifton or Morenci, which em- phasizes the fact that Clifton has re ceived bigger and better railroad fa- cilities none too soon.
