TrOlly Line For Clifton.

\ party whose name the ERA is not
permitted to mention at the present
time, has been spending Il few days in
Clifton looking over the field with Il
view 81 constructing an electrical
railroad line for Clifton and some of
the surrounding camps. He was so
fayorably impressed with the future
Of the great copper metropolis that he
will ask for franchise from the
board Of supervisors, which will meet
Monday next in regular session. The
supervisors will certainly not stand in
the way Of progress. and will doubt
less grant the franchise. but it should
he no exclusive affair. The interests
of the people should be protected in
this matter "a far as possible.
1t i the plan of the promoters to eX-
tend the line down the valley to Solo
knoxville aud Stafford. There are
those who think this electric PROPOSE
tiOn Is in some manner connected with
the proposed Clifton Durango railroad.

renci boys had their batting clothes on
and pounded out three scores i'm the
first inning. which practically gave

put up such a stiff and snappy game

on the Clifton team, one from Bisbee
and two from Douglas, all good mon.
but this being their first appearance
on the Clifton diamond. which is about
the fastest in the territory. they

THE FARM INSTITUTE.

The season of the farm institute Is
near at hand. The up to date farmers
will all be present at the meetings-the
man whom these institutes would most
benefit will not be there. He thinks he
knows ii all. The leaven Of an i'm
proved agriculture works slowly. 1t Is
surely worth while. for instance. to
hear some man tell how he raised six
ty-five bushels of corn to the acre. or
how he fed u bunch Of steers or hogs
and topped the market. or some lady
explain how she has an income Of $3.50
year from her poultry. or how to
grow an orchard which will net the
owner $40 an acre each year. or how
to keep cows which will make 300
pounds OF butter each year. or the how
of achieving success in a hundred other
lines Of agriculture. Farm Institutes
are in no sense book farming so called.
but rather the summing up Of the sue
cessful work of practical and intelli-
gent men. Almost any farmer can
well afford to pay some man So to take
his place on the farm for two days so
that the entire session Of the institute
may be attended. and he will do well
TO take his wife and children along
too. Go and ask questions II nothing
more. There will be some one there to
answer them intelligently.

GETTING A START.

1t is very common thing to be told
by men that If they could only get a
start they could get ahead in the world.
Now. any man can, If he will, get a
start and be somebody and do some
thing. The saving Of the first 500 is
the hard proposition. To save this
means hard work and self denial, poor
clothes. work after hours, plain ra-
tons and not penny spent for TOM
foolery. When hundred dollars get
together, they commence to work for
you. and the knowledge that you have
saved them will do much to make you
more industrious, more thrifty. more
economical In the effort to add to the
number. Get a start. There is no
earthly excuse for poverty in such a
country as this.

Corn husking machines have been
quite generally tested this fall. So far
they seem to do fair work where the
corn all stands up. but at only small
saving in cost over the old way. Where
the corn is down they are a total fail

to pick cotton and husk corn and milk
cows by hand for many years to come.
and perhaps il is just as well.
