Santa Fe Coming to Clifton.

A Boston dispatch of the 9th in
slant says plans are being made by
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
management to enter active com
petition for the Arizona copper traf-
fc with the Southern Pacific, on
which it has long cast covetous eyes.
The management now contemplates
the extension shortly of its road to
the Globe, Clifton and Morenci
camps, building about 200 miles to
reach the latter two and extending
its branch forty miles to Globe
through Box Canyon, which the
courts recently awarded to the At
Gibson against the Southern Pacific.
The Phoenix branch will be con-
nected with the Deming and Silver
City branch. Copper companies
headquarters here hail with en-
thusiasm the breaking of the
monopoly held by the Southern Pa
cifc on the Arizona smelter business.

People who have recently visited
Globe have much to say of the
apparent spirit of anarchy which
seems to prevail in that place. 1t
was announced by the Globe news
papers that in the May day parade,
which was composed of fifteen
hundred men, the flag of this country
was conspicuous by its absence, and
that it was not omitted by any
accident, but by order of the
men who had charge of the celebra-
ton. On the nineteenth of June,
which is Emancipation day for the
colored people, there was no parade,
though one had been planned. This
according to the local papers, was
for the reason that the colored
people had been requested to elimi-
nate Old Glory from the procession.
The colored men, who naturally
revere the flag, which means so much
to them, concluded to cut out the
procession rather than to haye it
without the flag. 1t is said that
red flags are now in evidence in some
of the saloons of Globe, and that on
the night of the third instance,
prominent citizen. who was in one
of these places, and objected to the
red flag, was knocked down with a
billiard cue and then thrown into
the street. 1t is also said that Hon.
Wiley E. Jones, of Stafford, who hap
pened into one of these saloons, made
vigorous protest against the red
flag, which came near ending in Seri-
Gus trouble. A number of Stafford
citizens happened to be with him
at the time, and as the sentiment
was about evenly divided, there was
no serious trouble. 1t is further said
that Mr.. Jones Immediately wired
President Roosevelt, in regard to
the incident, and that he at once
took up the matter with the United
States Attorney of Arizona, with
the request that if possible this mat
ter be stopped at once. The ERA is
10th to believe that such sentiment
against the flag of this country
really exists in Globe, and therefore
gives the above incidents only
as ''rumors. But if they are facts it
is evident that bad state of affairs
exist in Globe, and if not checked
at once it is apt to result IN a seri-
Gus clash in Globe at no distant date.
Globe is today the best camp in the
territory, but if this state of affairs
continue there are certainly dark days

In this issue of the ERA will be
found the announcement of Dave
Arzate, who desires the nomination
for constable of Clifton precinct,
subject to the endorsement of the
republican precinct convention. Mr..
Arzate has been a peace officer in
New Mexico and Arizona for the past
twenty years, during which time he
has made an enviable reputation.
While fearless and aggressive in the
discharge of duty, he is at the same
time conservative, avoiding trouble
when it is possible to do so. The
following strong endorsement of his
candidacy is from the Clifton Herald,
''the leading democratic paper of
Graham county,
''Dave Arzate, the efficient consta-
BILE of Clifton precinct, for the last
year or more, has held down a rough
element that would puzzle the Pin
kertons to handle, but Dave has been
equal to the occasion and done his
duty at all times.

was out for constable. Everybody
knows Dave, and we all know that he
will make a good one"

The political character of the
average New Mexico politician and
of many of the New Mexico news
papers, is best illustrated by their
change of front on the statehood
question. Nearly all of those who
were so pronounced against jointure
before the bill passed have veered
around until they are now the strong
est possible advocates of the very
measure which only a few weeks
ago they so strenuously opposed. One
who is not familiar with the New
Mexico brand of politics cannot
understand the logic of their reason
ing. However, those who have had
some experience in the politics of
that section understand that it is
not a question of logic which caused
this sudden reversal of sentiment
on the part of the New Mexico
politician, but rather the opportunity
of political preferment and graft
which is offered him under the
jointure bill. 1t would enhance his
opportunity for practical politics
and at the same time widen his scope
for graft, in which field he is a past
master. No better arguments can
be adduced against jointure than
those so clearly set out by the Santa
Fe New Mexican for the past two
years or more, and yet the New
Mexican is fighting for iointure with
a frienzied zeal that passes all under
standing. The passing of the joint
statehood bill by congress has had
little or no effect in Arizona. 1t
was a question of principal with the
people of Arizona then, and is a
question of principal with them to-
day. They refuse to be subsidized
by the liberal offers of the bill, prefer
ing to remain indefinitely as
territory rather than to turn over
their political autonomy to a crafty
lot of politicians in a neighboring
territory. Arizoua will assert her
manhood by voting down the PROPOSE
ton by a majority that will settle
the amalgamation of the two terri
tories for all time to come.

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST has
announced that he is not candidate
for the presidency, and that he
favors either Bryan or Folk, but I'M
der no circumstances would he sup
port Bailey, of Texas. Bailey's
record as senator, from the view
point of Mr.. Hearst, is no better
than that of some other senators who
have been prevented by the courts
from completing their terms.

]. E. Cosper was in town this week
from his farm and cattle ranch in
New Mexico. He came over to ar
range for the delivery of his farm
and ranch supplies to the D. c. COM
pany. Mr.. Cosper has resided on the
ella river about twenty years, and
says he has never seen Il more favor
able year than this. The crops are
abundant, the cattle are fat and the
market for supplies is excellent.
Mr.. Cosper is shining example of
what d man of energy can accom-
plish III this country. He arrived
here with practically nothing and is
now the owner of a fine farm and
several large herds of cattle. What
he has done others could do, with the
same amount of energy and good
business judgment.

Clifton to Denver and Return $ss.Ss.

On account of the national cele-
bration of Elks, which will meet on
the 18th instant, the remarkably low
rate of 1855 has been made from
Clifton to Denver and return, via the
FL Paso and Southwestern from Ha-
chita. There will be a solid vesti-
buled Pullman train from Ell Paso to
Denver and return, which will be
under the personal supervision of
Garrett King, general agent, and
V. R. Stiles, general passenger agent
of the Southwestern system. Denver
will be in gaily attire, having made
elaborate preparations to entertain
the Elks, and their guests. All auto
mobiles and carriages in the city
have been chartered for the free use
of the Elks and their guests while
in the city. There will also be side
trips to various points of interest in
Colorado and Utah. 1t is a rare op-
portunity to visit the Switzerland of
America. The special train will
leave Ell Paso on the 18th.

The following report from the
Stafford Journal does not indicate
that the valley has been entirely
ruined by the tailings from the Cliff
ton and Morenci concentrating
plants:
Peter Anderson last week threshed
S37 sacks of wheat from forty acres
of ground. Each sack weighed 149
pounds. The yield averages frac-
ton under tifty-two bushels per acre.
From all parts of the valley come
reports of immense crops of grain
and hay.
