Japanese Consider It's Parple Blossom
 The Ideal of Women.

 The wistaria. the last horal beauty of the Nipponese spring. is classical. It endeared itself and was sung all ready in the Nara period eighth cen tury) and the court ladies of Kioto in the ninth century. who made the Nipponese literature of the Helau era. refined, pIeasureloving and, of course, feminine, found in the wistaria their ideal of the Nipponese woman, whose charm in temperament and beauty has been universally praised.
 The purple of the wistaria is the Nipponese woman's befoved color. They wear it extensively. The wo- mans okoso zuken. or hood, Is largely of the wistaria purple. 1t suggests to the Nipponese mind the intensity of heart and love. The dokku poet, Kyoroku commented on the wistaria as a flower of enthusiasm. In Nippon the wistaria is the only flower which loves the Nipponese sake. If you get jar of wine under the flower, it's sprays will grow longer from its desire to reach the jar.
 The waistaria at Kameldo, the tenn ple garden famous for It on the out skirts of Tokyo, owes its great size and beauty, it Is believed, to the fact that its roots are nourished with the rice wine of the country by visitors. who are accustomed to empty their cups at its base. In this temple gar den are quaint rustic tea-houses that extend over queer shaped ponds stock ed with huge goldfish. When the wistaria is in bloom the water Is swept by vast feathery racemes of delicate Iiac-coIored blossoms three or four feet long, ordorous of honey and buzzing with bees.
 Another famous wistaria of Nippon is to be found at kashukabe. north east of Tokyo. The vine ts 500 years old, and grows over tiellises cover ing space of 400 feet. Its pendant clusters are more than fifty inches long. Noda, of the province of Settsu, is well known for wistaria, and there is a species called Noda no Fuii. after the name of the place. The most famous wistaria there IS named chi

Prominent A. C. Officials.

w. E. Miller, secretary of the board of directors of. the Arizona Copper company, and MT. Redmau, a member of the directorate board of the same company, arrived in Clifton Friday of last week to spend few weeks here for the purpose of making a personal inspection of the mines and company affairs generally. MT. Miller has been identified on the directorate board several years and has made numerous visits to Clifton, while MT. Redman is one of the new members.
 The Arizona Copper company is in excellent condition and its mines and reduction plant are making such commendable showings that these gentlemen will certainly submit flat tering reports upon their return to Scotland. Since arriving here they have been busily engaged in their work and on Wednesday morning left on the regular passenger for Guthrie, from which point they took the MorenCi Southern for Morenci. They were accompanied by Norman Carmichael, assistant general man. ager, and A. T. Thomson, treasurer and purchasing agent. Visitors find the trip over the Morenci Southern an interesting one, as is is beyond doubt the most crooked railroad in the world. After arriving at Morenci the party visited the numerous A. c. mines 1t that place.

HOefeId Will Appeal.

Ivan Hoefeld, plaintiff in the famous flood case against the Detroit Copper Company, returned this week from Tucson, where he spent couple of days on business connected with his case. It will be remembered that this case was tried in the district court of the Tucson district, before Judge Campbell last fall It was one of the most important cases ever tried in the territory of Arizona, and required the attention of the court for more than a month
 Both the defendant and plaintiff were placed at considerable expense in the trial and a large number of witnesses were examined for both sides. A jury of twelve responsible citizens of Pima county gave judg- ment in favor of the plaintiff, efte which demurrer was filed by the opposing attorneys and at recent si ting of the court, Judge Campbell ruled that the complaint had not been drawn properly and dismissed the case.
 Upon the advice of his attorneys MT. Hoefeld decided to appeal to the supreme court of the territory, which will settle the fate of an action that has attracted much interest all over the southwest.

Hieh School Teachers.

The trustees of the Clifton Union High School held a meeting last Monday evening, at which teachers were elected for the approaching fall term. Owing to the excellent record that has been made by Professor O. Halvorson, who has been principal of the high school ever since its organ ization, the board unanimously elected him 10 succeed himself. His assist ant will be Prof. T. P. Jameson, who has be en principal of the Else, Mich, high school the past term. He is highly recommended as a master of h s profession.
 During the past term the high school teachers have been worked rather hard and as there will be large increase in attendance next term, the board decided to add a third teacher, which appointment is left open until a later date.
 The Clifton high school is in excel lent condition and ranks with other high class schools in the territory.

The Fifth of May.

The Mexican of Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf celebrated Cinco de May O in elaborate style at the latter place yesterday. The entire day was devoted to speeches by prominent Mexicans of this section, races, base ball, drilling contests and various other amusements, and the attend ance Was the largest in the history of this mining district. All of the mines surrounding Metcalf were closed down and the Mexicans were given an opportunity to celebrate. The leading feature of the celebration was the excellent music furnished by the COncho Band, of Fl Paso. A large platform was erected at Met calf and the celebration closed last night with grand ball, in which many Americans and several hundred Mexicans participated.
 Several special trains were run over the Coronado Railroad and it was a difficult task to handle the crowd.

Clifton People Interested in Placer

During the past ten days w. A. Pitt and L. F. Sweating made several placer locations in the new, country recently discovered by Solomonville people between Solomonville and Bonita. They are very enthusiastic over the prospects of that. section, having banned extra good values from certain portions of their ground. John Epley and MT. Mcfarland, of the Solomonville country were among the first to discover the new gold field and are now operating quite a little plant on their ground. Accord ing to information obtained from the Clifton people Messrs. Epley and Mcfarland have an excellent proposi- tion and their reduction plant is obtaining good values. There seems to be little doubt of the opening up of most important gold country and those interest ed in the district are congratulating themselves. Con- siderable excitement has been the result of the new find.

Get Busy for the Town Election.

In this issue appears the call for the town election of Clifton, which will be held at the school house on Hills addition on the 5th of June, 1909. Owing to the fact that the new primary election law is not effective until the fall of next year, the question of primary election is settled as far as this election is con cerned.
 Now it is up to the people of Cliff ton to get busy and name the candi- dates for the various town officers. Various tickets have been suggested in the past, but we must now get down to business and make the names public. It has been suggested time and again that politics should be ex- cluded from the election. This seems to be the general opinion of the Citi- zens of Clifton and in order to get a more definite understanding of the situation a public mass meeting should be called at an early date.
 The government of our town is a matter of considerable importance to the property owners. If it is con- ducted "right' much benefit will te derived; and if conducted wrong it is possible for us to have many troubles. Hence the property owners should take unusual interest in the selection of town officers, thereby avoiding any possible danger.
