In this issue of the ERA will be
found the announcement of A. A.
Anderson, of Clifton, who aspires to
the Office of sheriff, subject to the
endorsement of the republican
county convention. Mr.. Anderson
has resided in this county about
seven years: coming here from New
Mexico, where he lived many
years. While in New Mexico he was
appointed chief of scouts for the
MescalerrO Indian reservation, I'M
der democratic administration,
which was a high recommendation
for his efficiency for the position.
He held the position five years under
several different agents, but becom-
ing tired of the work he resigned to
come to Arizona. Mr. Anderson is a
high type of the conservative bust
ness man, who is also well qualified
by experience for the position to
which he now aspires. If elected he
will undoubtedly make the county as
good an officer as it has ever had,
and that is saying a good deal.

Colts Y. Cubs 6.

The Morenci Cubs and the Clifton
Colts crossed bats last Sunday after
noon in one of the most interesting
contests ever put up on the local
diamond with the result that the
Colts walked away with the victory.
While not all of the playing was
perfect by any means, still there
were many first-class plays made.
Outside of the sixth inning, IN which
the Colts piled up four runs, and the
fifth, in which the Cubs secured
three, the game was real good and
thoroughly enjoyed by the grand
stand. The hitting of the Colts was
excellent in spite of the good twirl-
Robinson. Several of the Colts
players had no practice to speak of,
which cropped out in a few instances,
otherwise the Morenci boys would
have had hard time scoring at all.
The game was not quite as good as
when the first teams play, perhaps
because there is not as much rivalry
between them, but for good sound
sport and clean playing it could not
be surpassed. Captain Lancaster
was very much pleased with the
work of his team and with a few
changes, thinks he will have one of
the SllCkeSt little teams IN the COun-
try. The Morenci boys were held
down to eight hits by Joe Deck, who
did the pitching, while the locals
piled up fourteen. The following
is the lineup: Cubs-W. B. Davis,
c: Robinson and Philips, p: CASTOR,
lc; Malone, 2b: w. E. Davis, IS;
Schlotfeld5, 3b: Regland, IF: Malone
CT: Griffith, If; Colts Alexander

The series of games played at Ell
Paso' last week between Clifton and
Morenci, for a purse of $780, offered
by the typographical union of Ell
Paso, resulted as follows:
1st game-Clifton t, Morenci u.
2nd game-Clifton ,, Morenci 4.
Bird game-Clifton I, Morenci 5.
In the first inning the Clifton boys
had an "off " day, otherwise they
would have won two out of the three
games and brought home the purse.
They were ahead up to the fourth
inning when Jesus lost control, and
MorenCi got in nine runs. Harvey,
the new pitcher, and Longwell, a new
man on the team, both made good.

The New Lumber Company.

An ERA representative called at the
Office and yards of the Arizona Lumber
company this week and found J. Back
stein the manager, and all assistants,
working like Turks to handle their
business. Their lumber is arriving
daily, and they now have sixteen
cars on the road. Their business has
grown so rapidly that their principal
trouble is in keeping up their stock
Their new yards are already so
crowed that they will soon open a
new yard on the north side of Chase
creek, where they will carry their
heavy supplies. AS a new institution
the Arizona Lumber company has
met with instant and phenomenal
success. The company is under ex-
cellent management, and is backed
with ample capital, and is already
one of the leading business institu-
tions of the town.

UNDER WHICH KING. sGThe More POstum the More FOOd---th More Coffee the More Poison.

The president of the W. c, T. U. in a young giant state in the northwest says:
 q did not realize that I was slave to coffee till left off drinking it. For three or four years I was obliged to take a nerve tonic every day. Now am free, thanks to Postum Food Coffee.
 After finding out what coffee will do to it's victims I could hardly stand, to have my husband drink it; but he was not willing to quit studied for months to find a way to induce him to leave it off. Finally I told him l would make no more coffee.
 q got Postum Food Coffee and made it strong-boiled it the required time, and had him read the little book, The Road to Wellville,' that comes in every package.
 ''To-day Postum has no stronger ad- vocate than my husband! He tells our friends how to make it, and that he got through the winter without a spell of the grip and has mot had headache for months-he used to be subject to frequent nervous headaches,
 ''The stronger you drink Postum the more food you get; the stronger you drink coffee the more poison you get Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich
 There's reason.
