LInIno for EVENING Goats.

A pretty idea has come up in the
lining of evening coats, which is the
use OF the most deliberately lowered
Japanese silks. Some OF the summer
so-called dust coats which have been
made of colored pongees. n lined IN
this way, are pretty enough to be
worn for evening. especially If strong
shades are chosen. and the colored
laces used for trimming. and II is a
suggestion that these silks are pretty
enough and have warmth enough to
make ideal evening and theater coats

By A decision of the United States supreme court the Santa Fe has de- feated the Southern Pacific in its suit over the right of way through the box canyon of the Gila river from Kelvin eastward. This gives the Santa Fe the right to build it's line up the Gila river which means a competing trans-continental line for southern Arizona. 1t is claimed by local newspapers that the Phoenix and East ern will at once be extended to Benson where it will connect with the Phelps-Dodge system, over which the Santa Fe will operate trains from Deming, New Mexico. It is also stated by F. M. Murphy, who is the organizer of the Phoenix x Eastern that the main line will be extended to a connection with the Santa Fe at or near Silver City. This would mean that the Peoenix &c Eastern would be extended on up the Gila river from Dudleyville, through Ora ham county and on to Silver City. Perhaps both proposed lines will be built for the reason that the connec- tion at Benson could be made two or three years sooner than the main line at Silver City, thus giving the. company a southern outlet to the coast within d very short time.

PRIVATE BROOKS, of the ranger se1-gice, has distinguished himself by a piece of good work for which he deserves much credit. The story is as follows:
 ''By a good ride down into Mexico, Brooks caught cattle thief who had stolen some thirty-five head of cattle over in New Mexico, and obtained such witnesses against him that he was bound over to the grand jury by q Cochise county justice. Further more, the cattle were all recovered and returned to their rightful own erns. The theft. whose name is Ma lone, is not a man with d bad record, but it is thought he will have a great deal of trouble escaping the pen. The cattle had been sold in Cananea and the proceeds blown in when Ma lone was captured"
 1t isn't only the capture of the thief that is of importance, but the effect which the capture has on oth- CTS who would engage in the same line of business. And this is what the ranger service was created for. The ERA is always pleased to give credit where credit is due, and in the future as in the past, it will stand by the rangers who are willing to do their duty in the field for which they were created. As the ERA has ire quently remarked, they are not needed around the big towns. Their work is in the hills. The local off cers can take care of the towns.

BASE BALL.
IlIIlIIllIE

The ball game last Sunday was more of practice game than any thing else, and resulted in victory for Morenci by score of IA to 6, al though some Morenci fan had the nerve to telegraph Fl Paso papers that Morenci had a walk-away in match game. It was not a match game, as Clifton had no pitcher and played the game merely to illustrate that the boys were made out of the kind of stuff that it takes to play ball.
 Upon the arrival of the train. Sat- urday night it was discovered that Clifton had no twifler for the next days game; and Hunter was at once informed that he would have to take the slab. Well, he did and outside of the first few innings he made as good a showing as Morenci's new crack Kentucky twirler.
 The game was an exhibition of slugging, Morenci getting four home runs and Clifton two. But home runs generally occurred with the bases empty, or the scores might have reached the twenties. Errors on the Clifton side were numerous. Quill Hng's nervous system was out of order and Price on short was out of place. Ellis played an errorless game, but lost his temper in the latter part of the game. He had the distinction of being the only kicker that day, but will be excused this time as he has promised to be good the next time.
 Fourteen errors was the total for Clifton and Hunter was game from start to finish. He fielded his posi- tion well and with practice and proper support can pitch a good game.
 Cook, Clifton's crack pitcher, had some more bad luck Sunday and is now out of the game for the season. He had the misfortune to break his arm at the elbow while sliding for home plate. Few people realized that he was hurt until he left the grounds accompanied by Dr. Horn.
 Straights are getting monotonous with the Clifton team and the boys are going to change the tide. Mo renci now has the swell head so bad that something must be done. When the locals get started to winning there will be something doing and Morenci will be singing a new song.
 A good pitcher will be added to the local team at an early date and the rest of the team will be changed around somewhat.
 The following is the score and shows that Clifton secured F to Mo renCi's II hits:

The assessment roll for Graham county has been completed by As sessor Birdno and turned over to the board of supervisors, who are now in session at Solomonville as a board of equalization. The assessor made some unusual raises this year, the mining companies coming in for the bulk of it. The Arizona Copper company's returns were increased by him from SsO1, ,417.66 to S1,95O, O96.66; the Detroit Copper company from S457 ,391.33 to $1, ,155, ,O42.00 and the Shannon company from $780, S36.O0 to S2l1 ,O4O.OO. In addition to these raises the Clifton-Morenci dis trict furnished a large increase in mining property this year which was not rendered a year ago, caused by patents secured during the year, and probably amounting to Sl0O,O0O, or more. As the assessment now stands the CliftOn-M district will taxable wealth of the county. As to what the companies will do as re- gards these wholesale raises remains to be seen, but the probabilities are that unless they are materially re- duced by the county board of equal ization, the matter will be taken into the courts, as the managers of the companies believe that their prop a1-tv is heiuU assessed much hiUher than other property of the same kind in the territory. The matter is now with the county board of super visors It is of course probable that the differences will be adjusted with out litigation.

THE International-Am of Douglas, heartily indorses the sug- gestion made by the ERA that the ranger force be reduced one-half
 In commenting upon the ERA article the International-Amer says:
 "The cost of the ranger force is estimated to be about S60,000 per year; if this can be reduced half by re- ducing the force half, then we are sure the people of the territory would say that was the thing to do. The ranger force was never intended to be used as police force in the cities of Ari- ZOna and yet a perusal of the last an- nual report of Captain Rynning will show that a very large number of the cases reported as having been han dled by the rangers were from the various cities of the territory. In Douglas there is scarcely a day when from two to five rangers are not here. They have done some good work here and tor this they are entitled to the gratitude of our citizens: the same is true of other cities of the territory. If there is nothing for the rangers but to remain in the cities and towns they should be disbanded; at least half of the force could be safely mustered out without in any way en- dangering the good order of the ter ritory. There is no occasion for re- taining greater number under pay than are necessary to keep watch on the ranges and to hunt down outlaws as they may be reported in the ter ritory. The territory ought not to be asked to pay the heavy expense of maintaining a larger force of rangers than is actually required to carry on the work for which the rangers were intended. Here is an for Governor Kibbey to make a saving to the tax payers of Arizona and we hope he will not over look the opportunity or fail to make use of it."

THE following from the Tucson Citizen proves that the board of equalization is attempting to double the taxable wealth of the territory by throwing the burden onto the cattlegrowers and the miners, who are already assessed fifty per cent. more on the valuation. of their prop erty than the railroads:
 "The board of supervisors of Pima county have received a demand from the territorial auditor for certified copies of the duplicate assessment roll. The boards of supervisors in every other county in the territory have received similar requests. These duplicates are desired for the territorial board of equalization which will look into the valuation of cattle and mining properties throughout the territory. The board thinks that these valuations es- tlemen and the mines have been far too low. They hope by q careful scrutiny of the assessment rolls of the various counties to increase the total valuation of taxable property in the territory by fifty per cent. Heretofore the board of equalization has been furnished only with ab- stracts from the assessment rolls which contained all the general in formation and allowed the board no means for judging accurately"
 The board, after letting the big railroads down for one-half the amount they should be assessed, will still further punish the people by increasing the value of their cat tie and mines fifty per cent, or in fact, more than that, because it is proposed to increase the total valua- tion of taxable property in the ter ritory by fifty per cent" Inasmuch as the value of the railroads was not increased, this statement can only mean that the property of the cat tleman and miner must be increased four or five times in order to make the general increase of property of the territory equal to a fifty per cent. raise over last year.
 As the ERA understands the law, the board of equalization has no right to fix the valuation of mining property. The duty of the board is merely to equaliZe taxes. It is true that the board has the right to fix the price at which cattle and other live stock shall be assessed, but it is not in a position to judge as to the value of mining property. It may be that some of the mining companies have been assessed too low, but it should be remembered that it is the mining companies, and not the railroads, that give employment to labor in Arizona. It is the mining companies that have made a market for Ari- zona products. Without the mines the farmer and the ranchman would be compelled to "shut up shop" and if favors are to be shown to any class, the mining companies, that make it possible for people to live in Arizona, should be given first con- sideration. They are, in a sense, manufacturers, and are the bone and sinew of the country. They sh-@d be made to contribute their just proportion towards maintaining the government, but they should not be ''held up and shook down" by an all legged board of equalization that has failed to do it's duty in fixing a proper valuation on railroads.

A PETITION was circulated here this week and generally signed ask ing for the re-appointment of Fletcher NJ. Doan, whose time will soon expire as associate justice of Arizona. Judge Doan is no longer of this district, but the petition shows the high regard in which he is held by the people of Clifton and Graham county. He is an able jurist, and a safe, conservative man. His reap pointment will be generally approved by the people of the territory.

THE city of Douglas, now only two months old, has surplus in its treas ury of more than S7,000 raised from the collection of license for one quarter only. This money will be ex- pended in street Improvements and in other measures for the betterment of the place. It is estimated that $50. .O0O per year will be raised by licenses alone, which, if properly handled, will be of great benefit to the town

Up to the present date a pitcher has not been secured and unless one arrives by Saturday there will be no game Sunday. Proper notice will be given the fans if the game is not called off. The Fourth of July game also hangs on the pitching proposi- tion and the boys have decided not to try it again without good one. The spectators want good games and they will get them.
