A Change in A. ( N. M Time Card.

On Tuesday morning the Arizona & New Mexico railway adopted a new schedule, whereby the regular passenger train leaves Clifton earlier in the morning and returns earlier in the evening. The time is as fol- lows: Leaves Clifton 6:50 a. m., leaves Duncan SPA, leaves Lordsburg $50, arrives Hachita 11:05. Return ing leaves Hachita 1920, leaves Lordsburg 1850, Duncan BOP, arrives Clifton 4:40.
 The change was made in order to make connection with the new time card of the Fl Paso 6 Southwestern at Hachita, With the exception of the inconvenience of having to catch the train so early from Clifton the new time card is accepted with much congratulation on the part of the Clifton people, as the arrival of the train at 4:40 in the afternoon insures distribution of mail before dark.
 This time card, though it is rumor- ed that another change will most likely be made in the near future, is one of the best as far as Clifton is concerned, that has ever been in effect

Fire Hose and Carts Now Ready.

It will be remembered that the of fire hose and carts several weeks ago and delegated Mayor Fraser as one of the committee to attend to this matter immediately. As a re- suit the town last week received 600 feet of the best fire hose that has eyer been seen in Clifton and two first class hose carts. This material has been placed temporarily in the lower part of the town, where it can be secured for emergency use until the new fire plugs are installed. Small houses will also be erected for the storing of the hose and carts just as soon as the locations are selected. The carts are similar to the one now being used by the Ari- zona Copper company fire depart ment. At, the meeting of the coun- cil Tuesday afternoon the council ordered the purchase of 600 feet of hose and two more carts and upon their arrival the town will be pretty well supplied with hose and equip ment. The hose and carts will be located in various sections of the town and each sectlon will be in charge of a chief and volunteer com pany. This will be in addition to the regular fire company ot the Arizona Copper company, which is equipped with a large amount of hose and apparatus.
 Six new fire plugs have been in- stalled between North Clifton and the lower end of Riverside on the new Shannon water line. These plugs were furnished to the town by the Shannon free of charge and will be maintained by the company with out cost to the town, which is con sidered most liberal on the part of the company. These plugs, in addi- tion to the forty plugs which will be installed by the town, will give us forty-six, besides a number more which are owned by the Arizona Cop per company; hence we will have the best fire protection of any small city in Arizona.

Arc Lights Will Soon Be Burning.

Chief Electrician Chilson of the Arizona Copper company is busy with his force in the work of install ing the new city arc lights. Several of the lamps are already in place and as all of the material is on hand the lights will be in commission within the next ten days. The con tract between the town and the com pany has been prepared and it is un- derstood that it is satisfactory to both parties, though at this date no signatures are attached to it. There is absolutely no friction between the council and the Arizona Copper com pany over the light contract as the price has been agreed upon and the company is going ahead with the work as fast as possible.
 Many of our citizens are getting impatient and are ot the opinion that the lighting of the town has pro- ceeded slowly, but it mu st be re- membered that there is a great deal of work connected with the installa- tion of new poles and lines and it also requires considerable time to get electric supplies. However, when we do get the lights they will be appreciated more.

Things went kiting through the
House this morning, with the eXcep-
tion of a little bunch of rather incon-
sequential talk on Hilo and her epide-
mic of parks. There was a swarm OF
bills up for third reading and among
them two of Affonso's got through
final handling and they are now up to
the Senate to consider whether there
will be any room left in Hilo for the
conduct of business after park, ceme-
terry and Jail sites have all been grant
ed, if they are.
At its inception a stop was put to
introducing bills seeking specific ap-
preparations, for Furtado had a mea-
sure rejected which called for a Ho-
nokaa public building, it being the
wish of the House to have such mat
ters introduced by resolution, as here
tofore, to be considered with the ap-
preparation measure.

TOeA& Congress
For Legislature
To Meet Yearly
SPEAKER HoLSTElN DRAFTING MEMORIAL NATIONAL LAW
MAKERS TO GRANT HAWAII SESSIONS
INSTEAD OF SESSIONS OF SIXTY DAYs-THEN
HEADS DEPARTMENTS WOULD BETTER ADMINIsTRATE.

Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives II. Lincoln Holstein is prepar-
ing resolution to be presented to
some member of the House to intro
duce at an early date, which reso-
luton will have the effect of mem
oralizing the United States Congress
to so change the Organic Act that the
Hawaiian Legislature may hold regu-
lar sessions once a year instead of
once every two years as at present.
There is now bill before Congress
which seeks to increase the remuner-
alton of Hawaiian Senators and Rep
resentatives frCil 54O0 to 5000 for the
biennial session of the Legislature.
The idea of the memorial, asking for
yearly sessions of the Legislature, is
not by any means to increase expense,
hut to provide, at the same expense
as now prevails, that the Legislature
meet every year instead OF every two
years, and for thirty days each year
instead of for sixty days every two
Years.
Mileage would perhaps be the only
additional expense incurred by such
a method.
MY idea" says Speaker Holstein
lin asking for yearly session is bas-
ed on what l believe would be the
increased effectiveness of Legislation
and the general benefit of the change
| There is too much of tendency
/ on the part of heads of departments
of the government to become sub
Ject to the temptation of getting into
undesirable ruts in regard TO the ad
ministration of the affairs OF thei
respective departments, a condition
