stopping at the Sanitarium has pur-
chased a new Ford automobile of
Burdette Forquer. The new machine
is furnished with every up-to-date
equipment including gas lights and a
presco tank. Mr.. Aldrich is greatly
pleased with his new car To land the
sale is quite feather in Mr. Forquers
cap as Mr.. Aldrich is thoroughly
familiar with all the various makes in
automobiles and his choice of a Ford
was not made until he had carefully in

MANY of the citizens of Clifton are

MANY of the citizens of Clifton are
discussing the probability of incor-
porating in the near future,
and it now seems probable that with
the approval of the companies, it
will be almost unanimous. Almost
every mining camp in the territory,
except Clifton and Morenci, are in
corporated and receive the support
of the big mining companies. Hence
there is no especial reason why the
Clifton companies should oppose it,
as they are certainly in favor of pro-
noting the best interests of the town.
There are some, of course, who OPP
pose the incorporation of Clifton, but
it is seldom the case that a question
of this kind does not receive some op-
position. 1t will be remembered that
Clifton made an effort to incorporate
several years ago and at that time
the Arizona Copper company favored
it, but great many of the citizens
did not want it. 1t is quite different
now, as-nearly all of the citizens and
small property owners are in favor OF
it and there are now at least four
times as many home owners. Every
city or town in existence Is what its
citizens make it, hence if we want to
improve Clifton we must adopt the
proper methods to do it.

BaptiStS Will Build

Reverend Riddle, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Clifton in
formed an ERA reporter this week
that the members of the Baptist
church would at once make an effort
to construct a church building, as
they have no regular meeting place.
At a recent meeting of the board it
was decided to change their first plan
and instead of erecting a brick or
cement block building it would be
constructed of frame. The founda-
tion is already built and paid for, but
on account of unfortunate cirCum-
stances work was stopped last fall
and nothing has been done since.
1t will be remembered that many
citizens donated literally towards the
erection OF a Baptist Church inSouth
Clifton, but the committee failed to
collect all donations and since then
some of the subscribers have left
town. An effort will be made to see
all the old subscribers, as well as So
licit new ones, and the contract will
be let to a local contractor as soon as
possible.
Members of the church and resi-
dents of Hills fiat have given sutii-
cient encouragement to Rev. Riddle
to keep him in this field regularly.

A Visit to MOrenci

The editor of the ERA made a fly.
ing trip Saturday to our sister mining
p-Morenci-and while there
noted considerable improvement in
the camp. 1t is not generally known,
but it is a fact, that Morenci is the
only mining camp in existence that
has neither a street nor an alley,
nevertheless it is one of the leading
camps in the territory, having pop
ulation of more than 5000 inha bitants,
a great portion of which is Ameri-
can. The hills surrounding the mas
sive reduction plants of the A. C. and
d. G. companies are covered with
substantial and comfortable homes,
the most of which are owned by indi-
yiduals, who rent the ground from
the company. Morenci has its disad-
vantaGes the same as other places,
but tits up-to-date in the way of pub
lie improvements. The town has two
modern hotels owned by the d. G, and
A. G.. companies, d fine gymnasium
and library, besides many other con-
veniences. The two companies con-
duct fine stores in which are carried
every article of domestic use. In re-
spect of public improvements and
convenience Morenci is far ahead of
Clifton and it is often wondered why
Clifton is not treated likewise. Moth
ing should be too good for the Clifton
people, but it seems that they are
destined to remain in the old rut.
There is even a better chance to sup
port public institutions in Clifton
than in our sister camp. Clifton
should have a gymnasium and club
building and by all means should
have an athletic association. This
proposition has been discussed for
some time, but definite steps have
never been taken to forward it.

early last Friday morning and but for

Mexican would have stolen some hats
clothing and shirts. The Mexican
had lot of them on the sidewalk and

and saw the bounty. When he
attempted to notify the manager of
the store, who rooms next door, the
Mexican escaped, leaving the goods
on the sidewalk. So far he has not
been captured.

FLIES CAUSE EPIDEMIcs

The typhoid epidemic which
ravaged Chicago in 1902. and
which caused death roll of 4O2
persons within three months, was
directly traceable to unsanitary
conditions and the transmission Of
disease through the fly pest.
Chicago health officials of the
health departments and physicians
and surgeons after exhaustive ex-
periments have declared that flies
are the greatest common carriers
OF contagious diseases and the
most deadly agents of infection.
The most common mode of ill.,
lection by insects in our part Of
the world is undoubtedly by the
indirect method. the infection Of
foodstuffs by insects which have
come in contact with infected ma
terlAl. Cholera. typhoid FEVER
tuberculosis. and perhaps dyson
terry are the diseases which are
probably most often conveyed in
this way. Most important for us
is the connection between flies and
typhoid fever and probably dysen-
terry. The common houseAy is the
insect chiefly to be dreaded. for it
has far wider range Of activity
than has any crawling insect. and
its presence is not regarded as d
disgrsce to well conducted house.
