DOineS of the Supervisors.

In the matter of county printing the Bulletin and Guardian were de- clared the lowest bidders. The Guar dian was awarded the printing of the minutes of the board and job work was divided between it and the Bulletin, the items being segregated according to price. In this decision the board acted wisely and it is un- derstood that neither of the papers are very much elated over their con tract, as they will have only the class of work that they offered to do cheap.
 It was ordered by the board that all bounties on rabbits, gophers and prairie dogs be cut off in the future, and as a result all claims that were filed after the 11th day of March were disallowed. The prices paid for these scalps was small, but the county has been paying for thousands of them at every meeting.
 For the boarding of county prisoners the following were the successful bidders: Sam Abraha m, Clifton, 20 cents per meal: Gid Thompson, Mo- renci, 9 cents per meal; A. Diaz, Solomonville, p cents per meal.
 It was decided to hire a special guard at the county jail at $500 per day until the district court adjourns.
 Another matter which received the attention of the board was the cutt- ing of the salary of guards in all sanitary work. The county has been paying s co per day for this work; but in future cases only Sl.50 will be allowed.

 A reward of $500 should create an attraction to those who may acci dentally run across Roberts or learn information concerning his where abOuts.

Easter Cantata.

Shelley's Easter Cantata "DEATH and LIFE'' was performed last Sunday evening in the Presbyterian Church. The Church was beautifully decorated with seasonablc flowers, Easter Lilies predominating, and probably the largest Church Assemblage in the history of Clifton was present to listen to the rendering of this delightful musical setting of the events of the CrucifiXion and Resurrection of Christ.
 The Cantata was given in a mas terly style and those taking part in the service are to be congratulated on the excellent rendering which they gave, betokening both painstaking preparation and musical ability of a high standard. In addition to the Cantata, vocal solos by Mrs. P. B. Scotland, Mrs. Henderson and MT. John Stirrat were pleasipgly y rendered as was also a Duet by MT. and Mrs. A. w. Liddell.
 Several requests have been made by some of those who were fortunate enough to hear such a splendid musical service that the Cantata be repeated on some future occasion. We understand that it will not be practicable to do this, but we are in formed that a Concert will soon be given under the auspices of the Pres byterian Church in which all ot the singers who took part in the Cantata will again give their services and a first-class programe of vocal and ln- strumental music will be submitted.
 l.. Fraissinet, one of the old time Clifton residents, but who now re- sides in New York, arrived in Clifton last Sunday evening to make short visit to some of his old friends. MT. Frassinet first came to Clifton in 1882 and for long time conducted gen eral merchandise store in North Cliff ton. From Clifton he moved to Mo. renci, where he was manager of the ID. c. store for about two years, after which he returned to Clifton again to take the management of the A. c. company store. He re- mained in charge for eight years, leaving Clifton in the spring of 1900, and since then he has resided in New York. He was succeeded as store manager by E. NJ. Williams, wh) has successfully managed the store ever since. Mir. Fraissinet found Clifton greatly changed and was surprised at the wonderful improvements that have been made in the district since his departure. He is one of the many oldtimers who had confidence in the A. c. mines and bought stock when it was low.

citizens of Stafford, spent Monday of this week on business in this end of the county. George seems to be well satisfied with county division, but his friends are telling that he is trying to learn where the Clifton people intended locating the courthouse, so he can purchase a few lots. Like many other citizens of the county, George seems to real ize that Clifton is the natural location for the county seat of Greenlee county, over which there will be a lively campaign in the fall of next year. MT. Olney reports that the farms in the valley are all looking we'll and is of the opinion that the farmers will have plenty of money in the bank after the harvest.
