In this issue appears the hrst an
nouucement of the coming campaign,
that of Gid Thompson, of Morenci.
Gid has been an officer at MorenCi
for several years and has proven eff
ficient in the performance of his duty
on all occasions, and if elected to the
Office of sheriff will prove true to his
constituents and friends.
Will Brooks and Jim Goolsby, after
duly preparing for trip to the Blue
country started the latter part of
la st week, when a storm stopped their
progress, and while one of the pack
horses rolled down the hill Goolsby
hung onto the decanter. Brooks
kept his boots on and they returned
the next day, minus the grub and the
sights off a borrowed gun. Wonder
full how the mountain air affects some
people.
The program at the Clifton Theater
this week has been exceptionally
good as was demonstrated by the
large attendance each evening. Es-
pecially fine was the film porIrayiug
the maneuvers of the fleet at San
Francisco. the naval parade and the
battle of flowers, and those missing
this attraction overlooked a rare
treat. The enterprise of the manage
ment in securing the latest film fea-
lures is to be commended and that
their efforts are appreciated is shown
by the liberal patronage accorded
each performance.

THE HARTMAN LINE COMING
The Following Coming from the City of
Mexico Gives a New Light on
the Building of Railroads
to Douglas.

MEXICO CITY, June 30-Two important
facts in connection with Harriman's Can
anea, Yaqui River and Pacific railroad in
Mexico have been learned here from re-
liable sources.
They are, that it is considered definitely
settled that Hartman proposes making
his main trunk line from Cochise on the
Southern Pacific in Arizona over the pres
ent line to Pearce, thence to Douglas,
thence southwark and east to the present
Phelps Dodge line to Nacozari on to the
Bavispe river and down it by Oputo,
Guasabas and Ganadas to the Yaqui river
to the line running southwark along the
coast to Guadalajara.
From Douglas southwark by this route
grade of six-tenths of one per cent can
be obtained.

Sunday afternoon at ;, Clifton and

from the city league and comes pre-
pared to show the presumptuous min
ers what ball games are. The miners
have reason to believe that Tue on

the games will be assured of their

To H'hon1 1t May Concern:

While in Douglas the past few days 1
visited the different additions to the city
and looked at the real estate in the differ
ent parts of the city. Douglas is beauti-
fully laid out having broad, we'll graded
streets, fine electric car service and many
elegant houses and substantial business
blocks There are great many build
ings in course of construction, both resi-
dences and business houses. The hotel
accommodations are the finst in the south
west. The Southern Pacific is building
to Douglas in two directions. Another
smelter is soon to be built and the city is
having remarkable growth. The Over
lock Tract of lots which is to the north
east of the city is the coming residence
section as the city must be built that way.
These lots are larger than any lots in
Douglas, having graded streets and city
water and 1 understand the car line will
soon be extended through the tract [
recommend the purchase of these lots to
my friends for 1 know they will make
money out of them. Very truly,

After supper the LIST regiment band,
followed by most of the members OF

knights H. A. Clevenstine, H. A. ].
Mcdonald and Henry B. Hubbard,
marched down through the streets of
the city and serenaded the city coun-
Gil, which was in session, the Rock Is
land Club, The Argus, the Union, the
Times, the Journal, the Volks-Zeitung,
the Rock Island house, and finally end
ed up at the Harper house, where sew
eral selections were played inside of
the hotel.
Welcomed by Mayor.
! The council responded to the SER
enade by taking recess for half an
hour. Mayor Schaffer was introduced
to the visiting serenaders by Captain
Mcdonald, in front of the city hall.
The mayor made happy little speech
of welcome. He said he was glad to
see the knights here and that they
were heartily welcome, but that he
could not give them the key to the
city, as it had been thrown away il
the morning after everything had been
opened up for their benefit. The little
speech made big hit with the SER
enaders, who cheered the mayor long
and loudly. No more speaking was
done On the rest of the trip, but the
band played some fine selections and
justified it's record as one of the very
best bands in the country. Thousands
of people followed the marching col
umn while it was on Second avenue
and had it stayed out much longer
half the city would have been at its
heels. The serenade was thoroughly
enjoyed by all who took part in it.
