The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1907-05-30

c. o. Billingsley, who left Clifton a
few weeks ago on short trip to Ell
Paso and Mexico, returned home
Friday last. During part of his trip
he was confined in the hospital at Ell
Paso as a result of an accident met
with in Mexico. While in Mexico he
made a horseback trip into the
mountains. The horse he was riding
got tired and began to stumble and
when on the mountainside fell, and
rolled short distance. Part of the
time 1t was "horse on oliver" and
the rest of the time it was "Oliver
on the horse" Oliver was badly
bruised and had to camp out during
that night and the next morning
started for FL Paso. He was in a
pretty bad shape when he reached
Ell Paso, but short time in the
hospital brought him out all right.
He thinks pretty well of Mexico as a
mining country.
The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1907-05-30

The new addition to the Dunn
building in South Clifton, in which
is located the Shannon store, is now
completed. 1t is a two-story struct-
ure, with a basement, which will be
used by the company as a storage
room. On the first floor will be
located the general store and the
upper story will be occupied by
roomers. 1t is one of the most sub
stantial buildings in Clifton and is
equipped with modern conveniences.
Two flush toilets are located on the
upper floor, in addition to which are
two bath tubs equipped with hot
water. The fnishings are of the
very best and shelving is being put
up on the first floor. Mr.. Dunn has
also added two flush toilets in the
rear of the building for the accom-
mediation of his tenants in the negih-
borhood of the store building. This
will be quite an improvement toward
the sanitary conditions of that part
of town and it would be good thing
if the other dwellings in that section
were equipped likewise. Onlya short
sewer line is required as the river is
nearby.

Don Pets In Hotels,

''The one thing we have more trou-
 bic with than anything else," said the manager of one of the large hotels in upper Broadway, "is the fact that wo- men insist on smuggling their pet dogs to their rooms. We have no objections to dogs as dogs. If the animal is not too large or too fierce our guests may take them to their rooms during the day and may even feed them there. But we draw the line at having dogs in the bedrooms at night. Any woman with pet dog can have the beast cared for by the porter at night, and We have specially constructed kennels for all kinds of dogs, and we give them the best of care. But owners of pets seem to think that no one save themselves understands Fido or Gyp. The women seem to think that if dog gie has not the comforting assurance of the owners nearness then doggic will not sleep well. So women try tc smuggle their pets to their rooms un- der their cloaks or by back ways or even bribe one of the porters to take it to their room, believing that we will not hear anything about it.
 "As a matter of fact, the first thing the porter does after getting his tip is to tip me, and couple of hours later the woman is called upon by a clerk, who tells her dogs cannot stay in the bedrooms all night.-New York Press.

Filipino Chief Says War Secretary
 Kept His Promise.

. Manila, Nov. 11.-A feature of the visit of Secretary Taft to Manila was the presence of Aguinaldo at several of the functions.
 ''It is my belief" said AguinaldO, 'that the benefits to follow Mir. Tafts visit to the people of the Philippines will be greater than they can recognize at the present time. I am at present unable to form an opinion offhand of the possible future advantages, but I am confident that it has done good The opening of the assembly has gohe a long way to cement the friendship of my people with the people of the United States.
 "As fulfillment of solemn prom ise, which many thought would not be fulfilled, the secretary of war did not bring independence for my people in his pocket, but he brought the means of attaining. it. He told us how we can get it. The Filipinos are thankful for the information and pleased az what the assembly has done, especial ly in the interests of legislation, edu- cation and agriculture"
 Secretary Taft left for Vladivostok, the Filipinos showing by their farewell q hearty appreciation of his services in the islands.

Morgan has decided to get rid of his famous kennels of high bred collies, which has been one of his pet hobbies for eighteen years and on which he has expended in that time nearly ST. 000O00.
 shortly after his return from abroad Mir. Morgan informed Superintendent Alfred Blewitt of his intention of giv- ing up the kennels and surprised the superintendent as much as he had been dismayed by the first announce ment by declaring that Blewitt should have the fortune in dogs as soon as another habitatiOn for them had been determined upon. That they will be taken from Cragston is settled. but as Mrs. Morgan spends little of her time there during the winter she will not suffer much annoyance. and the dogs may be allowed to remain in their present aristocratic surroundings until early in the spring.

INTERSCHOLASTIC
FOOTBALL SEASON

The opening game of the inter
scholastic football league viii be play
ed on the Punahou grounds next Sat
urday, between the High School and
Punahou.
A schedule has not as yet been ar
ranged, though it is thought that mat
tiers will reach a final conclusion be-
fore Saturday.
High School has a light team. The
other schools, Punahou especially, have
quite heavy men. The High School
boys are willing to face the Punahous
but their coach is hesitating bit about
allowing them to bank up against the
giants.
Among the lower grades the foot
ball fever is at its height. On Thurs
day, the grammar department of the
High School beat the st. Louis team
by an III score.
Yesterday the Punahou Preparatory
faced the Kaahumanus. The lPunahous
are to play the High School grammar
grade shortly.

TENNIS INTEREST
AGAIN REVIVED

The interest in tennis is reviving
This excellent game considered by all
to surpass any of the other forms of
recreation which are INDUCED in here,
has received a fresh impetus. The
newest club which has been formed is
the Miller Street Tennis Association.
whose courts are back of the Portu-
guese church. Three separate clubs
have been formed; girls organiza-
ton, one composed of single men, and
third of married men. Interclub
games will soon be a feature.
The Y. NJ. c. A. has rented the
courts, which are considered by many
to be among the finest in town, and
use the grounds twice week. They
have among their number many fine
players and some future champions are
being developed.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton who have their own tennis courts
ON Richards street are playing daily.
Two sets OF players bang the ball
about every evening, and upwards of
fifty players use the courts. Tomor-
row, Mark johnson meets DIR. Scudder
and Theo. Richards meets Hapai. Both
Scudder and johnson are excellent
players and those who are watching
the signboard in front of the Y. NJ
c. A. are in doubt who to place in
the winners section. Of the Richards
Hapai match, it is thought that Rich
ards will win out, though Hapai will
give him tussle for his money.
In repairing the Richards street side |
walk, the back stop net was loosened
from its fastenings. The damage will |
shortly be repaired and the back stop
viii be as good as ever.
