The School Election.

AS advertised last week trustees
we're elected Saturday last for the
district and union high schools.
A larger percentage of the citi-
zens and taxpayers took part in the
election than ever before and it now
seems that the people are becoming
more interested in the education of
their children. Nearly everybody
appeared to be of the opinion that
the election of experienced trustees
would be to the advantage of the
schools and accordingly reelected
Jas. S. Cromb for district No. 3, and
Mrs. Terrell for district No. SO.
Curry H. Love, of North Clifton, and
A. NJ. Turner, of South Clifton, were
elected to succeed themselves on the
board of trustees of the high school
district.
In these reflections the people
have expressed their approval of
past services, and it is to be hoped
that the new trustees will take their
seats with renewed energy. All of
the schools are in excellent condi-

No. 80, which unfortunately has been
forced into considerable indebted
ness. 1t will require keen manage
ment and good judgment to put dis
trict 80 on its feet again and the
trustees should make especial effort
to economic during the next school
term. And in this matter the tTus-
tees should have the assistance of
the parents, who should see that
their children attend school regular
ly. The average attendance is the
basis on which appointments are
made by the county superintendent,
hence if parents would cooperate
with the trustees and teachers dis
trict 80 would certainly receive much
more money. Now that the district
has substantial building more in
terest will, and should, be taken.

A WATER MEETING
Many Citizens Meet and Discuss Water
Proposition.

A number OF the leading citizens of
Clifton met at Library hall lest Sat.
urday evening for the purpose of dis
cussing the proposed unreasonab BILE
raise in the water service of Clifton,
which was advertised to go into effect
yesterday. Many suggestions were
offered by those present and in all
likelihood it will not be very long be-
fore another company will be formed
to prospect for water and put in a
water line. Another proposition was
the purchase of the cheap stock of
the present company, which it is I'M
derstOod is hunting for buyers. There
are already quite few citizens inter-
ested in the water stock who
are not exactly satisfied with
the new rate.
After much discussion a committee
of five was appointed to call upon the
officers of the water company in order
to further discuss the matter, and to
report at a future meeting, the date
of which will be advertised in the
COPPER ERA.
The present officers of the water
company, who happen to be residents
u OIiA SOu, SCi CdluiJ " uOI OCSiI Z "
burden the people of Clifton, and will
no doubt try to correct the injustice
of the new rates if it is in their power
to do so.
Unless an adjustment of some kind
is made there will be number of the
heavier property owners who will be
compelled to dig shallow wells and
use salt water for all purposes except
drinking and cooking.
The report OF the committee will
be awaited with interest and the next
meeting will be attended by many
more citizens than the last one, as
they will be digging in their pockets
to pay water rent by that time.

A Libel Case.

A short time ago a number of
Mexican residents of Metcalf caused
to be published in the Ell Obrero and
Morenci Leader on article assailing
the character of Tim Nardelli of
Metcalf. Tim says that the state
ments made about him are false and
accordingly has made complaint
against the Leader and all parties
who signed the article. Warrants
were issued for twenty-three parties
and the preliminaries were held be-
fore Justice Smith Monday after
noon. AS d few of the warrants
were not served the judge postponed
the case until next Tuesday, when
the defendants will be given a hear
ing. The case will attract much at
tention as there are d number of
good men interested in it.
L. Kearney, who will be assisted by
District Attorney Strattou, is repre-
senting the plaintiff and F. B. Lame
the defendants.

MORENCI 6, EAGLES 5.
The First Extra Inning Game Resulted
in Victory for Visitors.

A fast game of base ball was play
ed on the local diamond last Sunday
afternoon between the Van Gorder
Colts, of Morenci, AID the Eagles, of
Clifton, and the visitors succeeded
in making the winning run after
twelve holly contested innings. 1t
had been reported that the Eagles
would have several new players,
which drew out a large attendance
and the spectators, although they
wanted Clifton to win, were more
than we'll satisfied with the article of
ball that was played. The new play
ers did not come, but the locals went
after the Colts like Arizona went
after the mineral output, and but for
weakness at short stop, the plume
would have remained at home. How
ever, the Eagles are game birds and
gave the visitors a run for their
money, and they did not have to bor-
row players from Morenci, Kansas,
Colorado or the big league either.
Sundays game was sprinkled with
too much rag-chewing, a little of
which goes a long distance with the
Clifton Morencl fans. And it is a
conceded fact that this very thing
causee more poor playing than any
other one thing.
1t Is clearly noticeable that there
is more harmony among the Morenci
team than the Eagles and the locals
should get together, bury the hatch
ct, and play ball. AS usual Evans
took the honors in batting, getting
six hits out of seven times up. The
players on both sides are deserving
of much credit for the many excel
lent plays, some of which would be
card to the big leaguers.

Walkers Weekly Copper Letter

Copper is fractionally higher and
in continued good demand. Lake is
now Is 8 to Is IA cents and electro
lytic is - cents per pound. Domes-
tic consumers have bought quite free
ly, many of them feeling satisfied
that the metal market is now recOy-
ering from its depression and that
prices will be at least fractionally
higher henceforth. There are still
great many consumers who are skep-
tical of the market, asserting that
the current revival in general BUSH
ness is what would naturally be ex-
pected after the relaxation of the
strain of the panic. They see politi-
cal uncertainty and continued bust
ness depression ahead and they ex-
press assurance that they will be
able to buy copper later on at a
lower price.
1t will certainly require consider
able time to restore confidence in all
branches of industry, and to satisfy
investors that they are warranted in
taking new issues of bonds and stocks
for the purpose of extending existing
industries and establishing new ones.
1t is to be expected that a general
extension of electric railway con-
struction and power development in
Europe and the far east will create a
steadily increasing foreign demand
for copper. Until there is a decided
revival of business in this country,
however, there is likely to be a suffi-
cient production to supply all re-
quirements with metal prices at
about their present level.

Rosetta Ferna Bill Caledonia County Court
VS.. June Term,

Whereas, Rosetta Ferna Bill of Newark in
the County of Caledonia, has filed in the

Court her libel for divorce, setting forth in
substance that she was legally married to
Irving A. Bill, now of parts unknown with
out the State of Vermont That she after

severity, she was forced to, aid did cease to
cohabit with the libelee. That the libelee,
being of sufficient pecuniary and physical
ability to provide suitable maintenance for
her, has, without cause, grossly, wantonly,
and cruelty refused and neglected so to do,
and praying that for the causes aforesaid
said marriage may be dissolved and Bill of
Divorce granted unto her; and that she may
be decreed temporary alimony, suit money,
and upon final hearing permanent alimony.

A Savings Bank Worthy of Patron

While few have chosen to criticise
Carroll S. Page for his liberal use of
printers ink in the advertising OF the
Hyde Park Savings Bank, the fact goes
to prove that the use of it for the past
six months has increased the deposits in
his Savings Bank nearly quarter OF a
million dollars.
1t also tends to prove that Carroll S.
Page has the confidence of his many de-
positors who are not only from his own
county but throughout the state at
large.
A bank that believes in home invest
ments, that finds plenty Of opportunities
for those investments at home, and
transacts it's financial affairs upon a solid
basis without assuming unnecessary
risks, is worthy of patronage and its
promoters worthy of unbounded praise.
There are opportunities enough for
good solid investments in Vermont if one
has the eye and the keeness to look them
Up; Carroll S. Page has an eye for these
investments and this is why he holds the
public confidence in the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank Newport Express and
Standard.
