What the Mouth Denotes.


A certain philosopher declares that
a woman Is known by her mouth. Not
by the words that issue therefrom, but
by the shape and color Of the lips, and
the lines and dimples that gather about
this important feature. He is supported
in his theory by physiognomists, who
all endeavor to impress US with the
fact that no woman with the small red
Tipped, "Cupid-bow" mouth, so praised
In song and story, was ever intellectual
or generous Of heart; and II is consol-

one other sterling qualities, which we
all like to think We possess, says the
New York Weekly. II is the fashion
at present TO hold the lips very slight

which was the peculiar property OF
the heroines Of old.fashioned novels,

The Fire Company.

While making a practice run last Saturday afternoon, the fire company boys arrived at the A. c. concentra- tor just in time to extinguish fire which had started from a pot of hot tar catching on fire. The fire alarm was not given for that particular location, but the boys from the con- centrator stopped and performed their practice on a real fire These practice alarms every Saturday after noon have been the means of posting the members of the fire company and they now make the runs in perfect order. Before drilling was com menCed it was a common occurrence for some of them to run to the wrong place, but now they are in perfect working order.
 It will be remembered that the fire company performed most excellent work during the last big fire in the A. c. works, and at that time the boys were hardly organized. Since then great improvement has taken place, more fire hose has been re- ceived, and practice is indulged in once a week. In the future fires will not amount to much unless they have a big start. Water supply is also very good.

LEGISLATIVE DOTNGS

This is the last day of the twenty fifth legislature of Arizona and night sessions have been popular this week.
 Governor Kibbey vetoed the famous segregation bill, which ConhiCted to some extent with local option cleo tions in incorporated districts. An other bill covering the objections of the governor was introduced and it seems to be understood that this will become law.
 The governor has signed the tol- lowing bills:
 Creating a territorial board of em- balming.
 Changing the marriageable age of females from sixteen to fourteen.
 Providing for a full regiment of militia in Arizona.
 An act amending the act creating Greenlee county. It is understood that this act relates to the hold-over supervisor, who resides in the portion of Graham county that will be Green lee after division. The act provides that this supervisor, Geo. Webster, of Clifton, will hold over in Greenlee county.

INCORPORATION.

On next Saturday the property owners and taxpayers of Clifton will decide upon the question of incor- porating the camp as a town. This measure has been advocated several times during past years, and this is the first time it has come to a vote. When the election was first ordered by the board of supervisors a great many people expressed themselves in favor of the measure. Since the agitation of the measure some few changes have taken place on both sides of the fence, but it is quite cer- tain that it will carry. For the bene- fit of those who are interested in the matter it might be well to state a few facts in connection with those who are entitled to vote. This in cludes the real estate owner as well as the grocer or business man who does not own his building.
 The law states that only those whose names appear on the assess ment roll for property within the proposed incorporated district have a right to vote.
 The elective officers of a town con- sists of four aldermen and one mayor, who are allowed no salaries what ever: the only officers receiving a salary, being the clerk and marshal. The question is decided upon by a majority vote, and if incorporation carries the board of supervisors must order an election to be held for the selection of mayor and aldermen: but according to the new primary law it will be necessary to call a primary nominating election before ordering the town election. Town and city officers are elected in May of each year and as the month is near at hand the election will occur at about the right time.
 There is also another statement that might be made in connection with incorporation and that is, in the event of any unsatisfactory or dangerous move of the town board, it is possible for the citizens to peti- tion the board of supervisors and have the town disfncorporated with in thirty days.
 One advantage of incorporation is that all road money collected in the incorporated district will go the town and must be expended within our limits. In addition to this great revenue there will be city licenses and fines, which in total should be sufficient to run the town with very small additional tax, if any.
 Another thing that might be said in connection with this question is that the election of town officers should be strictly non-political and only the best men of the town should be represented on the board. As a suggestion there should be one mem- Der each from Shannon hill, South Clifton, East Clifton, Chase Creek and North Clifton; and if possible each one should be property owner.
 With the assurance that the town cannot go into great debt in the face of the large amount of money that can be collected on road taxes alone and no great salaries to be paid; but on the other hand we will be enabled to boast of better streets, more con veniences and comforts, street lights, fire protection and other necessities, there is no reason why we should not give it trial anyway.
