Prospects Good for Steam Laundry in
Clifton.

During the past two weeks there
has been considerable talk in Cliff
ron about starting a new steam laun-
drv. 1t will be remembered that Cliff
ton had steam laundry several
years ago, which was washed away
in one of the big floods. Mr.. Fuller
ton. an experienced laundryman from
Texas and New Mexico, is in town
for the purpose of making arrange
MEETS to start the new enterprise,
and so far has met with much en-
enlargement. Lumber is now on the
ground on the lower part of Hills
new addition which will be used for
the construction of the building,
which will be 22xS0 feet in size. Con-
struction work has been delayed, how
ever, because of a deal which may
change the location of the laundry
to Chase creek.
\ good steam laundry is something
that Clifton has needed eyer since
the destruction of the old one, and
there is no reason why such an enter
prise should not pay we'll. There is
an unlimited amount of laundry work
in Clifton, Morenci and MetCalf, and
this work would stay at home if an
experienced laundryman took hold of
it. 1t is reported that the financial
end of the enterprise has been taken
up by local people who are in posi-
ton to put it through.

The Arizona Copper company has
commenced laying the new pipe line
through which tailings from the Cliff
ton concentrators will be pumped to
the lower end of Hills addition. Up
on the completion of this new enter
prise, the company will be IN a posi-
ton to discontinue the dumping of
tailings in the river. The construc-
ton of this enterprise will entail
considerable expense, which clearly
Arizona Copper company in taking
care of proposition which has been
the source of much comment dnring
past years. The company is under
lair aud square management and
should be given proper recognition
for the good work now under way.
1t cannot be disputed that the a. G.
company has been a great benefactOr
in the advancement of the Clifton
Morenci district, as it operated here
when copper looked like a dead one.
1t has always staid with the ship
through thick and thin and maintain
ed its pay roll when there was very
little profit in it. Another great
benefactor to this camp has been the
operation of the Shannon Copper Co.,
which concern has the reputation of
square dealing with its employees, and
has increased its working forces from
a handful to an army OF men during
the past seven years. A continuance
of its rapid advancement will soon
put the Clifton Moreuci district to
the top notch.

FREIGHT RATE On
LUMBER INCREASED.
New Tariff Vent Into Effect June 2Oth---
Effects Eastern Lumber.

The new freight rate on rough
lumber from east Texas, which went
into effect on Jule Goth, will make
quite d big difference in the future
price of lumber handled by the Arr
IONA and Blinn lumber yards of Cliff
ton. Heretofore the rate on Texas
lumber has been 33 cents per hundred
while now it is incr ased to So cents,
making difference of more than
half IN freight. The rate on lumber
from California has been 50 cents
per hundred, hence that rate is just
the same as formerly. The tie APP
plies on 1xl2. Ike, lX4 and in fact all
inch lumber. the rate on mining and
other heavy timbers remaining the
same. On account of thus rai-e in
the freight rate the local yards can
not sell inch lumber for less than $40
per thousand in the future. This in
crease will greatly effect the lumber
fields of Texas and at the. same time
eatlv increase the cost dwellings IN
Clifton in the future.

TT IS now a settled fact that Ari-
IONA will become state sometime
during the next two years, thereby
adding one of the brightest stars in
the union. The republicans have
adopted straight plank pledging
the admission of Arizona and New
Mexico as single states, which, to-
gether with promises OF the demo-
cratic party for separate statehood,
leaves no doubt whatever. Hon.
Marcus y. Smith, Arizona's delegate
to congress, has expressed his opinion
on the question, and as he has always
been a hard worker for single state
hood, he will put forth every effort to
have the bill passed as early as posi-
BILE. In a recent interview Mr..
Smith said:
1.-The plank is undoubtedly the
strongest ever put forth by the re-
publicans, because in all of those
preceding they have invariably at
tached a number of conditions. which
could be interpreted in many differ
ent ways, and which operated to pre-
vent the realization of Arizona S
hope.
This time the plank is..a straight
forward pledge of statehood, and uu-
less the party carries out its promise
it will be convicted of bad faith.
sin line with the policies of the
democratic party for years, L think
there will be a strong statehood
plank in the platform this year, in
surfing action at least at the session
of congress after the Inauguration of
the new president.

OWING to the fact that Clifton
made such a good showing against
the Dawson professional ball team
last week, an effort should be made to
get the Ell Paso team on the local
diamond. The Ell .Paso papers have
been very unfair in recognizing the
Clifton base ball team, always giving
it the short end in commenting upon
the games played on the Clifton dia-
mond. FL Paso is either afraid of the
Clifton ball team or the newspapers
have a black spot in their hearts for
it, Atlleast such seems to be the
consensus of opinion among the base
ball fans. All that the Clifton team
wants is to get a smash at the FL
Paso team at which time it will be
demonstra ted where FL Paso stands
in the base ball line. The Clifton
team has tried to match a game with
El Paso several times, but they would
not come for less than expenses and a
guarantee of $3.50 or the side. Who
ever heard of Ell Paso paying an out
side team $50 and expenses to play
ball in that city? Outside teams
usually do well to get expenses from
El Paso. If FL Paso will give Clifton
such a deal, she will have no trouble
to match a game at an early date.
If FL Paso is on the square, she will
either keep her head closed or come
through with the goods.

UNCLE SAM OFFERS
MANY FARMS FREE
Three Thousand Farms to
be Had for the ASKING.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 15.--Want
ed-3,000 practical farmers who
would like to own homes of their
own. The Government has nearly
100000 acres of land lying under the
various irrigation projects through
out the West for which water will be
available next season. The farm
unit on these projects varies in most
cases from 40 to 80 acres of irriga-
BILE land, depending upon location. In
many sections a tract of grazing land
has been included in the farm unit
wherever practicable, bringing the
total up to 100 acres.
The only charge for these farms,
besides the regular land Office fee
for filing, is the actual cost of get
ting water to them, and payment
may be made in ten annual install
ments, without interest.
These irrigation projects are scat
tered over the entire arid region, from
Canada to the Mexican line In con-
sequence, every variety of crop grown
in the temperate zone can be raised
under them. If you would like a
fruit or dairy farm, a garden for
market truck, tract for diversified
farming, hog or poultry raising, just
write to the Statistician of the U S.
Reclamation Service, Washington D.
c. for particulars.

WOMEN IN CAST
OUTNUMBER MEN

One OF the unusual features of Lot
tie Blair Parker's play of Southern
life is that the women of the cast
outnumber the men As a rule the
reverse is the case i ndramatic offer
ings. The presence of so many wo-
men upon the scene is one of the at
fractions of the play, especially as
many of them are young and pretty.
The birthday party of the youthful
heroine, and the Halloween festivi-
ties, which include the carrying out
of some amusing Halloween tricks
and Jack-o-lantern dance, give fine
scope for showing the feminine mem
bers of the company to advantage
One of the funniest characters in the
play is Amer Lizer." Aunt Doshy
too, is host of fun in herself; typi-
cal southern "auntie"-one of the
faithful slaves who cIung to the fam
lily she loved, though free to leave
them if she wished to do so. The part
of the heroine, Lelie Croften. a young
Southern belle, is a difficult one to
enact, portrayfng as it does all the
emotions from gay and loving | light
heartedness, to most intense misery
and grief. Under Southern Skies
was written by woman and it gives
women greater opportunity for acting
than three or four ordinary dramas.
This play is to be seen at the opera
house Monday night Prices 25c to
$1.00. Seats on sale tomorrow MORN
ing at DodSon's
