Base Ball.

The Clifton base ball boys met Mon
day last and organized a new club.
Most Of the old time players were
present. and the team will be composed
OF many well known and popular faces
locally. Mr.. A. r. Thomson was
elected president; w. y. Pitt, man
ager, and Mr.. Ames secretary and
treasurer.
The first practice will take pace
Sunday. when all the boys will toe out
and Timber their stiif joints. The
first game Of the season will probably
take place on the first Sunday in
April. It is quite likely that the san
Carlos Indian team will be the first
outside team to play with Clifton.
Deming seems to be red hot
for a game aud no doubt will get il in
the near future. Clifton has all kinds
Of good ball material and no doubt
will be able to carry off the honors OF
many games this season. The ball
players are all enthusiastic over the
prospects Of the new team, and will
start the ball rolling in earnest.
Later in the season Biebcc will prob
ably be invited 20 come over and tueelc
for the championship Of the territory.

The valley papers have had much to
say Of late in regard to the raise OF
telephone rates. which went into cf-
feet on the first Of the month The
people OF the valley, it seems, are
greatly incensed, and many of them,
in fact it is said that most of them,
-irsve ordered their phones taken out.
and new company has been formed
for the purpose OF building new line.
There have been some kicks in this
end of the county, and some Of the
phones have been ordered out. but As Il
whole the people have made no vigor-
Gus protest. Recently the service has
been improved, which will he greatly
appreciated. The telephone company
has been in existence about four years,
and while it has been great con-
vcuicnco to the public, it has not
proved a financial success. The pco-
pie who invest money in a"y enter

open for new companies in any line Of

Destroy Three Torpedo Boats.

NEWPORT, r. L., Sept. IA series Of
tests has been held OF Newport within

Of attacks, the torpedo boats being on
the defensive
The tests thus far have been held under
the most favorable weather conditions
with clear weather and smooth sea. but
they are to be continued in rough weather.
They are made to establish the worth OF
the submarines. Thus far the submarines
have come of victorious. The attacks
have been made of Block Island.
The torpedo boats Mckee. Craven and
Stiletto were sent of Block Island and
their commanders were instructed to look
out for an attack by the submarines After

and were in cruising trim two submarines
We're sent out. Upon arriving within five
miles Of the torpedo boats, at which distance
it was impossible for the torpedo boats
to pick them up while running awash, the
submarines were submerged. Running in
this condition they would steal upon the tor
pedo boats. When at q reasonable dis
lance they would dive. coming up within
striking distance. and fire dummy torpedo.
Both the Adder and Moccasin have been
successful in the attacks, and had it been
in actual warfare the torpedo boats would
