A FAREWELL.
Dave Clark is rendered Smoker and
Remembered by his KOrkmen.

On last Saturday evening the Casino
hall was the scene of d farewell re-
ceptiOn rendered by the shOpmen of
the A. COMPANY to their former
master mechanic, Dave Clark, who
successfully flled-that position for
the past twelve years. The farewell
party, while it had been planned
some time, was complete surprise
Saturday night, Mr.. Clark having re-
ceived an urgent message to report
in California on September 1st, and
the ceremonies had to be conducted
without the token of remembrance
which the boys had ordered. Not
withstanding the short notice, the
hall was filed.
Colonel Egan, THAI whom there is
no equal as chairman of such func
tions, was unanimously elected to
preside and in his usual graceful
manner addressed the gentlemen
present. His remarks, which per-
tanned principally to the guest of the
evening, were received with cheer
Iulness, although the regretful story
could be read on every face present.
Many of the old timers have left
Clifton, but few of them have gone
with as much regret as Dave Clark
from the men who were under his
supervision. During the course of
his remarks Mr.. Egan referred to the
early days when Mr.. Clark served the
A. & n. NJ. as engineer and met with
an accident in which the locomotive
turned over and caught him and the
fireman in the cab. Both men were
seriously injured and brought to Cliff
ton for treatment. The tireman's
nerve failed him, but Dave fought
the battle and finally pulled through.
He improved slowly until reception
was held in Clifton, at which there
was a bowl of excellent punch, which
in reality saved Dawes life. In those
DAYS ice was unknown in Clifton and
it required three days to make the
punch, as it had to be cooled in the
open air. Well, glass of punch was
sent to Dave and after he drank it
and ordered couple more he began
to recover. Dave acknowledged
that it saved his life.''
After his recovery he resumed his
iuties with the company, and was
continually promoted until he reached
the station of master mechanic, as in
those days the company adhered to
the promotion system.
Dan Lynch, Tom Smith, Ben Craw-
ford. Archie Morrison and several
others made short talks in behalf of
Mr.. Clark's departure and the even
ing was spent in Publication.
Mr.. Clark responded in short and
interesting talk in which he wished
mis- friends well and thanked them for
the manner in which they had enter
tanned him.
When it was learned that Mr.. Clark
had resigned the men working under
him circulated d petition and raised
ibOut 800 which was used in pur-
chasing a beautiful diamond ring
which they intended to present at
he farewell reception, but the pres
mt did not arrive and will be sent to
i'm later

GRAHAM county citizens seem to
have adopted a new system during
the past few years and instead OF
listening and taking the advice of
every politician that comes along,
they think for themselves. This
means that the vote in the future is
going to be more independent than
ever before and both parties will have
to put up the very best material OBJ
tainable. The republican party
should fill the ticket with good men
and if the people don't think they
are the proper stuff they should vote
for good democrat.

In this issue will be found the
announcement of Ira Harper as a
candidate for the office of supervisor
of Graham county. Ira is an old time
resident of this county and has always
been leading democrat. He has
twice served this county as supervisor;
his record In office was of the highest
standard. He is well acquainted in
the county and his name should
receive the consideration of the dem
ocratic party. He is not an office
seeker, as it has been four years
since he was in politics. If he receives
the nomination he will make an
excellent race.

Greenlee district above Clifton, spent
few days of this week in Clifton
on business and shaking hands with
old friends. They report that pros
poets are looking good for that end
of the district at this date. Among
their holdings are some of the most
promising gold claims in this section.
They are pleased to see that the
New England company is doing so
we'll as the progress of that company
means a great deal to those who are
interested in that immediate country.
According to the last report of
Edmund Bristol, managing director
of the New England and Clifton
company, the company should soon be
the fourth heavy producer in shis
district The directors have recon-
mended the construction of a COnCen-
traitor at the Copper King above
from the Autietam to the tunnel
connecting it with the King. The
report is lengthy one and will APP
pear in the next issue of this paper.
1t will be Of much interest to people
interested in the company. The
company is now on an excellent
foundation and regular shipments
continue from the Copper King,
though nothing but develO 1ment
work is being done at the .Antietam.

lists of Columbus, Ga, who spent two
weeks in this district examining the
properties of the New York-Arizona

self DIS more than we'll pleased, ha wing

is of the opinion that Sd tisfactOry
arrangements can be made by the
first of 1909 As he came here in the
interests of people who contemplate
Investment in the company, his recon-
meudation of what he saw means that
the company will Immediately be
supplied with considerable working
capital.
