THE bill introduced in the legisla ture giving corporations the power to sign county seat removal petitions has been tabled. It is understood that this bill was introduced for the benefit of Cochise county. This same condition existed in Graham county until we secured county division. It has been ruled that corporations have no right to sign petitions, and the attempt to give them that right has failed. There seems to be no just reason why the property of cor poration should not be recognized just the same as the personal property owner, provided, of course a sufficient number of irst-class signatures ac- company that of the corporation. In counties like Graham and Cochise, where certain sections of the county are wholly owned by corporations or companies, have the greatest portion of the population, and pay nearly all ot the taxes, the present law is most unfair. This law is the very reason why county division is being agitated in several of the Arizona counties as it is the only course that can be taken in counties like Graham and Cochise. The natural location of d county seat is where it will accom- modate the greatest portion of the population of a county, and just be- cause the end with the greatest popu- lation happens to be represented by companies or corporations, is no reason why their property valuat ations should be excluded. If the present law remains as it is, practically every county desiring county seat removal under these circumstances will have to hustle for division.

Base Ball.

With the weather just right, being of the same sunny variety which only Arizona affords, the attendance at the first baseball game was fine.
 The fans were most enthusiastic, good natured and interested in what soever the boys did in the way of "diamond stunts,' so one may clear ly foresee the reason baseball in Cliff ton will be irst-class, as regards variety.
 Morenci says MT. VanGorder will not play until our carload of "won- ders'' have all arrived; so you see Clifton must patiently await the first clash, which we hope is near at hand.
 Well to relate Sundays game, it was just like this: Riley led forth his valient nine against MasOn's best and only after Herculea2 efforts were the latter able to grasp the laurels of victory.
 Fehrman and Pipque were the re- spectiYe "heaYers" and both worked well most of the time, although much practice is needed to put them in their best form.
 Job Phillips, late of the Cubs, won retired early from the regulars as account of much needed practice while some few others might have gone the same route had there been more material at hand.
 Smith, Andrews, Farr, Deck and Nielsen show some class, but 1t is a little early to predict their ability as regulars.
 The team has strong nucleus of older players from which to construct a winner, but Clifton must get new players or develop men for several weaker spots.
 Andrews seems to be the ''goods" at first; his height and hitting quail ties are in dire need this season, so here's hoping Sam will continue to improve.
 The same teams will join hands in friendly battle next Sunday afternoon.

GREENLEE county is going to be one of the greatest mining counties in the territory of Arizona-both in production and area. There may be other counties that will show greater output, but when it comes to perma- nency, she will hold up with any of them, not only in Arizona, but other copper producing states as well.

J. c. Pheby, one of the old time mining men of the southwest, and who resided in Silver City during the early days, arrived in Clifton this week from Globe, where he spent a short time in search of something in his line. He reports that camp somewhat quiet and decided to come to Clifton, where he knew there was always something doing. During the past four years MT. Pheby has re- sided in the Tombstone district. where the companies spend more for pumping water from the mines than the companies in this district spend for mining. He says that just 1t the present date he finds the Clifton dis trict a little better than the average mining camp, though on the outside one seldom hears of our many ad- vantages. Being an old timer, MT. Pheby has many old friends in this district, some of whom formerly re- sided in Silver City. He left for the Coronado section yesterday and will spend a short time there with friends.

Mrs. Sam Abraham gave a card party and linen shower Wednesday afternoon in honor of her niece, Miss Esther Abraham. Hearts was the game played and all enjoyed the afternoon immensely. Shamrocks and cupids and inumerable green ribbon bows were carried out in decorating the dainty luncheon. The souvenirs were pen and ink sketches of cuplds and a diamond and wedding ring twined on a ribbon and an appropriate verse accom- panied each sketch, composed for the occasion by the charming hostess. About twenty-eight of Miss Abra- hams most intimate friends were in vited and she received many hand some and expensive linens, most of them with her monogram embroidered on them.

that the need of aid in the devastated

the bitterness of the past.
The unwilling Of the monument was
attended by Veterans Of the Confed-

REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
The Akeley Herald-Tribune of re-
cent date contained the following
concerning candidates for the repub-
lican nomination for governor, two
years hence:
Brewer, Eberhart and Young
are being pushed to the front by
the republican. state press for gov
ernor. Then, again, there are those
who are of the opinion that the re-
publican party of Minnesota will
have to retrace its steps back to the
defeat of R. C. Dunn of Princetown
and right matters before the party.
will succeed at the polls. Brewer,
of St. Cloud looks good to the Sixth
district as nominee for governor,
and with harmony existing among
the old warriors, Mr.. Brewer would
have cinch on election"
It might be added, with all
truth, that would-be republican
candidates for governor, including
R. c. Dunn, have their eyes on the
man who occupies the executive
chair at the present time, and Gov
ernor Johnson's final decision as to
who will be the democratic candi.
date for governor, two years hence,
will undoubtedly have much to do
with the determination of those
whose names are so frequently
mentioned at the present time as
republican candidates.
Should Johnson again be a candi-
date for governor, it is fairly certain
that R. c. Dunn will not be a can
didate, as he is not at all backward
in giving Johnson due credit for
his ability in the past of licking any
man that the republican patty put
up for governor.
Should Governor Johnson stick to
his determination not to be a candi-
date for governor, the people of Min
nesota may see Bob" Dunn occupy
ing the governors chair, two years
hence.
