but among other good things stated
that if he was elected he would dis
charge the duties of the Office TO the
best of his ability regardless OF race,
color or political creed, and il he
found it necessary to employ addition
al counsel in any OF the most import
ant cases, he would do so out Of his
own salary. he further stated that
be would prosecute any county officer
who was in the habit OF speculating in
county due bills. He made most
favorable impression on the audience.
Mr.. Rawlins was followed by Wiley
Jones, a stem-w hiding spell-binder,
who is always in earnest. Mr.. Jones
is giving the ticket his loyal support,
which is no surprise to his friends and
most gratifying to the ticket and the
democratic party.
After the speaking a Misunderstanding
jollifcation meeting was INDUCED in
and every body was introduced 10 the
candidates. 1t was ratification
right. II there are any dissatisfied
democrats in Clifton, they are holding
their peace and hiding out. In fact
the party is united and a solid as the
! rock of Gibraltar.
Many Clifton people regretted that
H. b. Rice, the next councilman,
could not be present, but they will
have an opportunity to hear him later
| in the campaign.

POOR old man Strat;On, who died
last week in Colorado Springs, leaving
$50, 900, coo TO charity, has by his will
furnished no end OF litigation for the
courts, and big fat fees for the lawyers,
all OF which goes to show that man
should dispose OF his wealth before
shutting OF this mortal coil. Stratton
could have derived much pleasure by
building the very institutions for
which he so literally provided in his
Will. Even the city OF Colorado
Springs i up in arms against the sl0,-
600 coo poor house for which he pro-
yided in his will. The city spurns his
gift for a national poor house which
would have provided comfort for thOus-
ands OF deserving people during the
last few days of their lives. The city
would have been delighted with an
educational institution or something
snowy in the way OF statuary but il has
no room for the poor old unfortunates
Of humanity. Colorado Springs is I'M
grateful to the memory OF man who
has done much for the place. II is not
so surprising that STATIONS son is
dissatisfied with his allowance Of SJ0,-
600 and contest the will, but If he were
"a chip off the old block, 'he would fam
ish for hunger ere he would accept
one cent OF his fathers fortune.

TIE Board Of Supervisors were IN
session at Solomonville for more than
two days last week considering the
petition, for the removal OF the coun-
t. seat from Solom onville 10 Stafford.
The petitions As presented showed the
requisite amount of property values,
which. however, were signed by sever
al corporations and non-residents.
Both sides were represented by emf
nent lawyers who presented the issues
to the board. The first question OF
Importance presented to the board
was whether or rot parties who
had signed the original petit
ti0us, had the right TO afterwards
Withdraw their names from said petit
tions, Us many attempted TO do by
written request TO the board. This
question was put to the board by Mr..
Hill, who moved that the names OF all
those who had 30 requested be stricken
from the original petitions. This was
voted down by Messrs. Harper and
Waddell. A considerable amount Of
time was then consumed in comparing
ing tho signcrs Of the petitions with
the tax roll, and it was found that the
names were far in excess OF the re-
quiremcnts of the law. The question
was then brought up by Mr.. Hill as to
whether corporations and nOn-resi-
dents had the right under the law to
sign the petitions. Tho motion was
to strike such names from the petition,
which was voted for by Messrs. Hill
and Harper, Mr. WaddelI voting in
the negative. Without the signatures
Of corporations and non-residents the
property qualification OF the Law was
not complied with, therefore the board
could not make the order for the cleo
ton. 1t is understood that Judge
Herrin, Of Prescott, who had been re-
tanned by the Stafford people to repre-
sent them in the case, is now engaged
in preparing papers to mandamus the
board and compel them to issue the
order for the election. Later.-The
for mandamus was
heard by Judge Doan, and denied,
therefore there will be no election for
removal this year.

There has been deal OF typhoid
fever in Clifton, and during the past
few months there have been several
deaths from this disease. The typhoid
has been caused by the accumulated
filth in the resident and business por-
tiOn Of the town, caused 10y the lack of
sewerage, and by the poor drinking
water. 1t is expected that the new
water company will furnish supply
Of healthy drinking water, but the
sewerage question will have to be
handled in some other manner. The
real estate in the town is owned by the
Arizona Copper company. Superin-
tcndcnt Ncitch Of the company has
been down with the fever, but the
Liberal understands that he is now re-
covering. II looks as though the COM
pauy, in self defence, and TO preserve
the lives Of its officers, would be com
PEELED to engage IL competent sanitary
engineer to investigate the water
question and lay out Il system of sewers
and then to enforce sanitary measures
among its tenants, so that the town
may be made clean and kept clean
If the proper sanitary measures are
enforced Clifton may be made one of
the most healthy places in the terri
tOry.-Libcral.
The Liberal does not fully comprc-
bend the situation, however, its sug-
gestiOnS are worth considering. The
facts are that the a. c. company owns
very small portion of either the resi-
dcncc or business portions, and there
fore cannot be wholly blamed for the
present lack Of sanitation in Clifton
1t would cost much money to put in Il
sewerage system and unless the town
be incorporated there is no legal way
in which this cost could b. taxed up
against the property. Much of the
best property in town is owned by
non-cesidents, whose only interests in
the town arc to draw cxorbitant
monthly rentals. They would not
contribute towards such an enterprise
and Us u general thing the man who
pays the rem: has very little left after
settling with his landlord. That the
sanitary conditions are truly shocking
is shown by the large number OF ty-
phOid cases which now exist, and
which have existed here for the past
year. The lack Of sanitation, the
scarcity OF suitable dwcllings and cx-
brilliant rentals, have cost Clifton
many good citizens and skilled me-
chauiCs during the past year. Good
men can find employment anywhere in
Arizona, and they will not long re-
main in n place with uninviting sur
rouudings. The sanitation OF the
place should be looked after at once.
If something is not immediately done
to better conditions, many deaths
must be expected. This is the newt
able result OF present conditions. Ty-
phoid fever, which is so prevalent,
and has existed in comm unity for
such n long period of tire, cannot be
eradicated except by radical measures.

THE Williams News is about the
only paper in the territory which has
had a good word for the Crawford pri-
mary plan. 1t says: THE Crawford
primary plan was great success in
this county at the primaries held this
week. The party election could only
have resulted in the selection of good
men, and this was accomplished with
out the cry of fraud" reported at the
elections held in other counties under
the same system"

THE indications now seem favorable
for a railrord from Cochisc station on
the Southern Pacific. 10 Clifton via
Solomouville. This would settle the
county division matter in so far as tho
east end of the county is concerned.
Direct railroad connection with the
lower valley would obyiate the neces-
sity for division for many years.

 The mornings were spent in the woods on the bank of the river after the usual style, of course, very little fishing being indulged in, but the time was delightfully."- put in with boating, shooting, riding and ending with a most charming dinner served in courses, little deviation from the usual style, and to this dinner every guest did justice. The fish served were caught the day before, by a professional angler, while the game was likewise procured with the usual silver bullet, but none the less en- ioyable, as can be testified to by all. The best of all was the lovely young (wild) turkey killed by the skilIful Harry Dowell, this however being taken to the home of pr. J. c. Kim berlin and made feast of Sunday, enjoyed by family and friends.

DAvY CROCKETTs RIFLE.

. One of the most interesting relics on exhibition in the office of Secretary of State Crockett is the rife which was presented by admiring friends to his great grandfather, the immortal Davy Crockett, hero of the Alamo, and author of the equally immortal phrase, stBe sure you are right and then go ahead" This gun was carried by the grandson of the first owner, the late Gen. Bob" Crockett, who brought down much game with it, but now it has been retired with honor and full pay to pass the re- mainder of it's days, or centuries, as a relic of one of the greatest characters this country has ever produced. It is formidable looking weapon, orig inally of the fiint-lock type, with a 40 calibre bore. The barrel was originally 46 inches long, but some of it has been cut off and it is now only 40 1-2 inches. It was presented to David Crockett soon after his second election to congress in 1929, by some of his admiring young Whig friends of Philadelphia. It cost $350 and was made especially for him. The donors raised the money by contributing half a dollar each to the fund The stock is trimmed in sterling silver, appropriately designed with figures of the Goddess of Liberty, raccoon, deer's head, and other figures. Along the upper part of the barrel are the letters, set into the metal ill gold, some of which has worn out, s'Presented by the Young Men of Philadelphia to the Hon. David Crockett of Tennessee" :" In similar letters near the muzzle are the words "Go Ahead.p
