Railroad Wanted to Clifton.
solomonvflle Bulletin.

5olomonville Bulletin.
The people OF the ella Valley-the
| farmers and the business men OF the
several towns are becoming more and
more to realize the necessity OF rail-
road connecting them with the great
mining districts OF Clifton and Morenci,
and they are talking about such an en-
terprise with increasing earnestness.
The building OF the ella Valley,
Globe and Northern railway which
connected the valley with Globe, de-
monstrated the benefits OF a railroad
connection with a mining camp, and
our people propose to spare no effort
TO secure line to Clifton. The propo-
sition OF such line OF railroad has al
ready received the attention OF rail
road men and the wonder Is that it has
not already been constructed. At Cliff
ton and Morenci is a population en-
gagged in the mining industry, Of not
less than seven thousand people, in this
valley there is a population OF agri-
culturists and those engaged in BUSH
ness, OF seven Thousand or more, which
is rapidly increasing. The length Of
railroad TO connect the agricultural
valley with the Clifton mining country
would not be more than forty miles,
over a fairly good route. Two-thirds
OF the line could be constructed at a
minimum cost OF Arizona railroad
building.
Thirty thousand acres of land are
cultivated in the valley. Three thou
sand men are at work at Clifton and
Morenci. All the flour, hay, grain,
vegetables, poultry and diary products,
necessary TO sustain this large mining
population would be shipped on such
railroad, when provided. Not only
this, but there is serious scarcity Of
timber for mining purposes within
reach OF Clifton. In the Graham
mountains, which would be reached by
a railroad to the valley, is enough tim
Der to supply the mines in Clifton for
many, many years, and this timber
could be laid down at Clifton and Nor
encl. at moderate cost, over railroad
from the valley direct.
This railroad is the best business
proposition offered to capital to-day in
Arizona, and if our people will get to-
gether and present the favorable con-
ditions in intelligent form they will not
have to go to find builder. A public
meeting will probably be held at some
point in the valley at an early day to
consider this railroad proposition and
from the earnest and determined ex-
pressions heard now on every hand,
this meeting will set the ball in motion.
Our people can gather all the data
needed for presentation to railroad
builders, and then cause a survey to be
made and get an estimate of the cost,
secure the necessary tax exemption
franchise, arrange for right-of-way,
etc, and by the time they have gone
this far we predict that there will be
more than one application for the
privilege of building the proposed road.
The people of this valley must have
a railroad to the Clifton country and
whenever they show an earnest de-
termination to have it, they will get it.

THE appointment Of Isaac T. Stod-
dard as secretary OF Arizona came as a
surprise to many Of the republican
politicians of the territory. Mr.. Stod-
dard is an old resident OF the territory,
and he has been prominently identified
with mining and politics. His appoint
ment shows the governor is the supreme
power in the territory, a fact not rel
ished by many Of the republicans. The
appointment OF Myron H. McCord as
U. S. marshal, was not a surprise. He
was also recommended by Governor
Murphy, which endorsement, it is I'M
derstood, was at the request of the
president, who wanted to appoint
McCord. The Governor and McCord
are not good friends politically. Nc
Cord was formerly governor of the
territory. He has been connected with
the Gazette for many years, and de-
serves recognition from his party.

A committee of prominent Gamers
headed by Mr.. Henry P. Cannon of
Brldgeville, drove into Smyrna Friday
to investigate the canning industries
OF this town. They visited Hofecker's
cannery ON Main street and Counsel-
mans cannery at Smyrna Landing.
The committee had been on an inspec-
ton tour among the tomato canning
industries of Kent county. and before
coming to Smyrna had visited several
towns down the State including Dover.
Lelpsic and Cheswold of this vicinity
They left here to make a similar visit
to Clayton and Kenton. Their tour
through Kent county and the State of
Delaware is for the purpose of agitating
the formation of an association for the
mutual benefit of packers and growers.
and that their interests shall be pro-
tected not only in this State, but also
Maryland, New Jersey and Pennvsl-
vania, which States control the LARGEST
production of canned goods in the
United States.
The movement is an outgrowth of
the Tri-State Packers Association
formed in Wilmington last spring.

Is considerable speculation among the

ers of tomatoes as to the conduct of

that the National Canning Company.
a gigantic corporation, has options
upon at least rs per cent. of all the
canneries in Delaware and Pennsyl-
vania and 80 per cent. of those in New
Jersey. In Bridgeton, N. j., the trust
has options upon all but two of the
concerns. The Tinplate trust is back
ing the Canning Trust, and it is
claimed that the packers who do not
sell to the combination will not be
able to obtain cans for their pack. The
Trust is to pay go per cent. of the pur-
chase money in cash and give 40 per
cent in preferred stock in the new COM
pany. 1t is said that the Trust, when
it gets control of the plants upon which
it has options, will dismantle some of
the concerns, greatly lessen the pack
and thus force the price upward.

In Wilmington Thursday afternoon.

pany will be in Willard Saulsbury's
office, 900 Market street, Wilmington.
and not In the Real Estate Trust
Building, In Philadelphia, where the
main office of the Wilmington and
New Castle Railway Company formerly
was.
The Wilmington and New Castle
line and the Delaware City line are
included in the new organization. The
new corporation will build and operate
new lines in lower Delaware, Cecil
county, Maryland, and Chester and
Delaware counties, Pa, also. The
residents of Thoroughfare Neck are
much interested in the formation of
the new company and hope it means
an extension of the Delaware Citv
line down the State. When this is done
they want the survey laid out from
Delaware City to Odessa, thence TO
Taylors Bridge, Smyrna Landing and
Smyrna, in direct connection with the
Kent County towns, which will prob
ably be same route as proposed bv
the Woodland Beach and Milford
Trolley Line.
q. P. King, formerly secretary an
treasurer of the New Castle line, who
was the chief promoter of the old com
pany, is said to be interested in six
teen other lines. 1t is his business
to build lines and sell them, but when
the New Castle company was put in
operation it proved such paying ven
ture that it has been operated bv it's
builders for the last five years and has
been paying big dividends. The orig
inal charter of the old company was
obtained from the Legislature by
Mayor Evan G. Boyd and James B.
Toman, of New Castle; the late Peter
L.. Cooper and DR.. Howard Ogle of
Wilmington, who, after holding it for
several years, sold it to Mr.. King and
other promoters, who built the road in
1896.
1t has been said that Tom L. John
son, the great trolley promoter, is in-
terested in the new company, but if he is
concerned he is keeping under cover.
Extensive improvements are contem-
plated by the new company, but just
what they will not make public at this
time, as the plans are not fully ma
tured.
