County Health Officer Visits Clifton.

OVuuty hOuith ViiIIOi VISilc OtIIIUHs
During the past week DIR. ]. H.
Lacy, of Solomonville, county health
officer, visited Clifton to make an in
spection of the sanitary conditions.
He merely had passed through the
camp last week when he said that
the town appeared to be in better
shape than he had expected. He
first went to Metcalf and Morenci
and returned to Clifton the latter
part of the week. Upon close in
spection he found South Clifton, East
Side and North Clifton in pretty fair
shape, although there we're some
nuisances, but on Chase creek he
found most unsatisfactory condi-
ton. He is Of the opinion that I'M
less the entire town of Clifton re-
ceives a general cleaning there will
be an unlimited amount of sickness
this summer. He says something
must be done and done quickly, as it
is already late in the season. Upon
his return home he will report the
conditions to the board of health and
see what can be done, but is inclined
to believe that the board will not be
willing to draw on the general fund
of the county in order that Clifton
might be cleaned up, as this is not
being done for other towns in the
county.
! L. is pronounced fact that there
are many nuisanCes around the camp
that should be attended to, but it
seems to be impossible to avoid it.
| The doctor said that it was in his
power to force the people to clean
their premises, but thought it would
not be necessary if they understood
what might result if things were per-
mitted to go Oh. For the good of
personal health, everybody should
see that their premises receive a
good cleaning before the hot weather
comes.
Under present conditions it seems
almost impossible to keep the town
In a good sanitary condition. One
party might take pride in removing
all garbage while perhaps his neigh
Dor will let it go. The only way and
the cheapest, is to incorporate the
town and then the work will be done
for them, and the bill will be paid by
all. 1t will be remembered that some
time ago incorporation was advocated
and turned down. Since that time
Clifton has improved considerably
and it is likely that it can be carried
out now.
Unless the property owners, as we'll
as the companies, take more pride in
the town and provide measures
to keep it in good sanitary
condition, there will always be an I'M
limited amount of sickness during the
summer, which will have a tendency
to driving people away, 1t is abUut
time that something is being done.
Unless the county board of health
decides to give Clifton a general
cleanup, the citizens and business
men should get up subscription list
for that purpose. After the town is
cleaned up then the proposition of
incorporation can be taken up. SAT-
ford has been incorporated several
years and has attended to its own
sanitation and if such a small place
can afford it, it certainly would seem
could also afford it.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
1T IS reported that the Old Do

IT IS reported that the Old Do
minion company at Globe has discon-
tinued handling custom ores since its
recent big strike, as it has more ore
than it can handle. This has caused
the smaller companies of the dis
trict to ship to outside smelters at
Increased expense and will cut off a
great portion of the profits. This
will be hard blow to the camp as a
number of the shippers of that dis
trict cannot stand the increased ex-
pense. This state of affairs will con-
tinue until the Dominion company
completes new furnaces which are
now under consideration. Not many
of the shippers in the Globe district
have ore rich enough to stand much
additional expense. AS a general
rule the ore from the Globe district
requires expensive treatment.

During the past few weeks local
parties have been experimenting
with the manufacture fcement blocks
for building purposes. The parties
interested in the new venture are
Henry Hill, j. Backstein and Barney
Harmsen. A machine for the manu-
featuring of the blocks was received
several weeks ago and was installed
on the sand fat in Hill's addition and
number of experiments have been
made. The problem was to deter
mine if the sand was suitable for the
purpose. Several days were spent in
experimenting and various processes
were tried with the result that a
very good block can be manufactured.
A large number of blocks have al
ready been made and can be inspect
ed by those who are skeptical as to
the quality of them. The capacity
of the plant is ample to supply any
reasonable demand ana it is quite
likely that these blocks will be used
in the construction of some of the
future new buildings in Clifton. A
building constructed of cement
blocks will cost only a trife more
than frame and at the same time
will be much cooler and safer from
fire.

Lou J. Norris, who left Clifton a
short time ago on a prospecting trip
through Nevada, returned home last
week. He visited nearly all of the
principal mining camps of that state
and came to the conclusion that Cliff
ton was not so bad after all. At
Goldield he found a lively and sub
stantial camp, but says that all lines
of business are we'll represented. In
his opinion, Goldfield is the best camp
in the state. He visited Reno and
Blair and also got few pointers
about Ely, but from what he could
learn he was satisfied to return to
Clifton and take his chances here.
Nevada is an active section of coun-
try, but Clifton can hold its own
when it comes to permanency. He
found that section greatly over esti-
mated and outside of few good
mining proposition, there is nothing
to it.

Take the instance of Blanche Walsh, for
example. When she was playing the round
OF sardou heroines throughout the coun-
try she was hailed as a coming queen OF
tragedy. For some time after she had laid
these aside she was wasted on plays of no
consequence until she took up "Resurrec-
ton" In this gloomy drama of life she
gave one Of the most convincing interpreta-
lions Of a difficult character ever offered,
and again showed that she possesses talent
OF the rarest. But, Resurrection" could
not last forever for only few cared for
It, Then she fell, through her managers,
into the Clyde Fitch habit and THE
Woman in the Case" was a tremendous
popular success. Another effort TO get her
into serious work was undertaken in
faint-hearted way early this season, when
she was presented for a short time I'm

the standpoint Of art. New York doesn't

now she is playing Moll in The Straight

Coming Events.
At the Boyd theater this evening, and un-
til after Wednesday evening we are to be
given another opportunity to see the dram
atization OF owen Wister's story, THE
Virgnian." Dustin Farnum, who originated
the title role, will head the Kirke La Shene
acting company, and we are promised
delightful performance. This play of the
pioneer west has been adjudged one of the
best stage portrayals of the cattle country
in the days when cattle raising was the
chief industry. From the fret to the last
scene the play teens with western ranch
atmosphere; there is a well of humor to
cause laughter, a most magnetic touch of
love and scenes of almost painful thrill.
Few dramatizations on the stage today
more closely follow the original story and
yet maintain the thread OF the plot in such
an Accordingly interesting manner.
In the realm Of romantic drama this
season there is no production more elabo-
rate and picturesque than that OF DO

Ernest shipman has prepared for Miss
Alberta Gallatin's starring tour. The
scenes OF Mr.. Majors real historic ro-

next three nights, the engagement closing

BOISE, June 2S.-Immediately after

cution recalled to the stand DR.. Z. L..
MCGEE of Wallace, Idaho, a witness for
the defense whose cross examination
had been deferred. DR.. McGee had tes-
titled that he saw Harry Orchard in
the Occur d'Alenes in 1904. On one
occasion he saw Orchard in company
with a man named Cunningham. Or
chard claims to have given the Peabody
bomb to a man of this name. The prose-
cution today wanted DR.. McGee to de-
scribe Cunningham. The witness said
that he had seen the man but twice
and then they almost came to blows
over political discussion

ley of the state.

Following DR.. McGee, W. B. sEasterly was
called TO continue his testimony, begun yes
terday.
Easterly denied positively that he had ever
conversed with Harry Orchard as to the indie
pendence depot explosion. Orchard was at Grip
pie Creek the latter part of 1903 and the first
part of 1904. 'He mined a little" said the wit
ness, but he quite a fend at card games.
He seldom worked more than a month at a
time
Easterly asserted that during the Cripple
Creek strike days there never any talk of
violence at the meetings of his union except
by one visiting member. The visitor proved
afterward to be secret service man in the en-
ploy Of the mine owners. The labor leaders al
ways counseled peace saying that any disor-
ders which might occur would be attributed to
the union.
Easterly went over much Of the ground COW
He told of the meeting addressed by Meyer
and Haywood, at which the two accused men
urged the miners to maintain peace and order.
