At , o'clock d. m. pistol shots were heard down the road from Carpenters ranch and in a few minutes the party was on hand. They were welcomed by quite a number of people, all Of whom were surprised to see them get there against such a heavy breast of water.
 The following Clifton people were seen at the feast: Mrs. Frank Moreno, Mrs. Shirley Neff, Mrs. M. Abraham, Miss Thompson, Miss Webb, Miss Oli- phant, Mrs. Haywood and Mrs. Noel, and Messrs. Martindale, lnglis, Bailey, Prof. Swanwick and Mir. Lafave, who furnished the music for the occasion.
 The Clifton people speak in high terms of the kind treatment rendered them by the citizens Of the Blue coun- try, especially MT. and Mrs. w. Il. Carpenter, and no doubt are willing to repeat the trip sometime in the near future. In this connection it might be said that Mir. Carpenter informed the writer that he would prepare another barbecue any time that the Clifton people would get up crowd and fur nish the music for dancing, provided they will give him at least one week : notice.

NANNrAl county is at present pass ing through an era of industrial de preSSIon that Is really causing alarm on the part of the business men of Prescott. The cause k a disagree mcnt between the mine operators and the employees over a question of wages procipitated by the recent eight hour law. AS a result meeting of the business men of Prescott and the mine operators convened in Prescott last week for a conference. \ second meeting is arranged for the 10th at which time the situation will he thor oughly discussed and an effort made to effect compromise between the opposing interests. The Review hopes the efforts oi the Citizens league will be successful This is no time for mines 10 lie idle in \ riZona. Review.
 The above is in startling contrast to the editorials which appeared in the Review while the legislature was in session. urging the immediate pas sage of the eight hour law. This law has been the means of closing down many mines in the territory, and the end is not yet And besides that it has given the territory a bad name abroad. It Is now much more diff cult to secure money for Arizona mining enterprises than it was before the passage of this law, and the strikes and troubles which followed il. Millions of dollars have already been diverted from Arizona to Mexico by the passage of this law and it's effects upon the labor market. Pre- viOus to that time labor troubles were hardly known in Arizona, but since then they have been of common oc- currence. The ERA does not believe in a law that prevents a man from working more than eight hours a day. if he wishes to do so. The Re view is largely responsible for the state of affairs which exist. and is try ing to crawl out of very small hole, but its efforts will not be successful.

Scott Clty's Trouble.

Incorporated name of that town is Scott
City The railroads call II Scott City.
but Uncle Sans postal department calls
Il plain Scott This. of course. causes
employees of thst department endless
trouble About half the money orders re-
ceived are drawn on Scott City. The
department has instructed the postmaster
to cash money orders so drawn, but to
return them by registered mail to the
Office of issue, there to be treated as a
repaid order and the amount forwarded in
cash to this ONCE. The reason given by
the department is that should an order so
drawn be lost, a duplicate could not be
issued because there is no such money
order o!fice. Only an arbitrary ruling
of the department prevents adding City
to the name of the office Nearly three
fourths of the mail matter received there
Is addressed to Scott City. and some Of
