We have received the following:
Lexington, KY, Aug. Is. '09.
Dear Editor: A movement has
been inaugurated which has for its
purpose the organization of fed
Grafton of Central Kentucky Com
mercial Clubs. A convention has
been called for September 16 and
II in Lexington. 1t is hoped to
perfect a permanent organization.
The purposes are manifold. 1t
means better acquaintanceship. 1t
means cementing of interests
which have pulled independently
of each other. 1t will make it
possible to bring new blood and
capital into this section of the
State. With the towns of Central
Kentucky banded together it will
mean that the capitalists coming to
this section of the country with a
view of locating some industries
here, if not satisfied with one town
will be transferred to another and
thus kept in the State.
We wish to elicit your co-opera-
ton. Will you not give your
views upon the federation!
The program for the convention
is in preparation. We have writ
ten to the secretary of your local
club asking him for his co-opera-
ton and assistance. All are invit-
ed to attend and participate. Can
you not urge representation of
your community to Gomez This
invitation is really and sincerely
extended.
During the second day of the
convention the program will con-
sist for the most part of reports
from each and every town of the
fifty -four which have been invited.
These reports will consist of the
setting forth advantages and op-
pOrtunities offered by each and
every place, these reports to be
kept on file in the permanent Sec.
retary's Office for reference pur,
poses.
, This first effort is the hard one
and we sincerely and earnestly
hope we will receive the co-opera
ton of every editor in Contra
, Kentucky. We are pointing out 6
way whereby each community Car

Power WAGON Co.

We went to press before the
meeting of the Business Mems
Club to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of establishing line of passenger
and freight motor wagons between
our city, Sharpsburg, Flemings-
burg and probably other towns.
Mr.. Chas. A. Rolfe, of the Gray
bowsky Power Wagon Co., of
Detroit, Mich, has been here
since Saturday with one of the
wagons. He is accompanied by
Frank PickreIl, of Lexington.
On Monday afternoon they con-
veyed to Winchester 20 young
men to attend a ball game, making
the trip in about 1 hour and Is
minutes. Last night he was to
fully explain the merits, expenses
and profits of such a line. We
cannot anticipate what will be
done. We are disposed favorably
toward the enterprise.

DEMOCRATIC ca CRITICS

cratic newspapers at this time
against Watterson and Whallen is
received with Joy in the Republican
camp in Louisville and published
with great glee into the organ of
the Republican party, the LOUIS
Vile Post. 1t is material and am
munition for the Republicans. If
it is persisted in, the Democratic
party in Louisville will be defeat
ed. "-Elizabethtown News.
IF Watterson and Whallen
were the men responsible for the
Democratic ticket, the worst
that could be charged against
them is that they have given Lou
isville and jefferson county the
best Democratic ticket it has had
in twenty-five years. Ifthat ticket
does not win it will not be because
it does not deserve to win; its fail
ure to win would leave little on
which to base reasonable hope of
Democratic success in Louisville
within the next decade.
LAS Louisville goes, so goes the
State. The Democratic newspa-
pers out in the State which, so far
as their influence counts, are eX-
erting it to bring about the defeat
of the Democratic ticket in Louis
Vile this fall, are contributing in
| like measure to Republican success
| in the election for State Offices two
years from this fall.
by no possibility can the blame
for Democratic defeat-if the Dem
ocrats of Louisville are defeated
! be placed on the shoulders of the
men who compose the ticket or
who were instrumental in its NOM
nation. "-Louisville Times.
Relative to the News item: We
do not wish to discourage men in
their fight for success. If methods

oFFICIAL NEGIIGENOE.

A case OF gross official neglect
that is inexeusable. and cannot be
explained away, was brought to light
by the recent appearance Of the
Hiliis boys in this city. Almost a
year ago these two boys were sent
to the state reform school at st.
Anthony from this city. The boys
are orphans and were sent TO the
school under the juvenile act, Soon
after their arrival they made sue
cessfui escape. and instead OF report
ing the fact TO the sheriff or probate
Judge OF this county. the school SUI
perintendent remained silent. and as
a result OF his neglect the boys have
been drifting over the country for
the past few months, reaching this
city a short time ago. when It was
learned that they had escaped soon
after their confinement In the instl-
tuition. Those persons who are In
terested in the boys were justly in
dignant when they learned the truth.
and the management OF the St. An

demned. II the institution Is con-
Quoted along the lines developed by

Some Good Gold Rock.

A sample of gold ore in which the yellow metal can be seen with the naked eye was sent to Clifton last
 week and has proven of much inter- est to stockholders. This sample came from the richest portion of d new six-foot strike that has recently been developed in a cross cut from the 100 level, and it is understood that an average assay of $25 has been obtained across the whole ledge. This is only one of a number of veins that have been encountered on the that is going to enable the present leasers to make big success of the gold mill that is now being installed on the property. In order to illustrate the qualities of the Gold Belt it is not necessary to pick out the best specimens, but man who knows any thing about gold mining can be con- vinced at a glance by visiting the mines. Every mining man who has seen the property expressed the opinion that if it was located in Nevada or some other boom district the Gold Belt stock would be worth $500 per share. But oyer here it is different and stockholders will have to be satisfied with sl.OO, which un- doubtedly will be the result of the operation of the new gold mill.
 Prospects are good for the Gold Belt leasers to develop one of the biggest gold districts in Arizona and when the monthly outputs begin to materialize and the gold bars are exhibited some people are going to fall over themselves to get interested in the new gold field.

Base Ball at Fl PaSO.

During fair week Fl Paso will be the scene of some fast ball games if indications count for anything. The fair management set the price of entrance at 50 bucks which was the cause of shutting out all teams that did not think they had a string tied to the prize money. This was done perhaps for the purpose of prevent ing the playing of low class teams and lnsuring string of better games, towns in the southwest who would have been glad to send their teams for a general boost at the fair. From a base ball standpoint the man. agement of the fair is probably right. but for the general benefit and sue cess of the Fl Paso fair we believe they are wrong. Just four teams en- tered the tournament. The Clifton Morenci district will be represented by the crack Morenci team, which beyond doubt will get first money. The Morenci team is now composed of all new faces that were not con- nected with the team when it played at Bisbee recently, and the new players are being rested and fed for the big series. Yes, they are going to get the money and the Clifton Morenci district is going to get the big advertisement.

Horse Shot and Man Robbed of $4OO

On last Thursday evening, when Jose Yebra was returning from Met calf with roll of S40O, an unknown party who no doubt had spotted him shot his horse from under him and then relieved him of theiresponsibility of the four hundred. The hold-up took place in an isolated place and the robber made his escape and has not been heard of since. Yebra notified the officers at Metcalf as soon as possible but the robber had good start.
 Yebra had no reason for carrying this amount of money, except that he had contracted the habit, thinking that it was safer in his pocket than in the bank. He is an employe of Johnny Parque, a wholesale liquor dealer of Clifton. Zebra bears a crease on the back of the neck which he claims was made by bullet that was intended for him.

The Shoot at Tucson.

The four members of the Clifton
 gun club who participated in the big
 shoot at Tucson last week certainly
 made good and brought back the
 honors and good slice of the prizes
 that were hung up, it being under
 stood that they captured about S25O cash. Those who represented the
 local club were Captain Paul Rei- singer, Wm. Allender, Dr. Burtch and J. B. Murphy. Murphy figured in the high average of the Clifton shooters, but in the amount of money pulled down from all of the events that they entered Murphy, Allender and Reisinger were about even, Dr. Burtch being the lowest.
 As the boys did not compile their individual scores the Era is unable to give them this week, and we do not desire to give one and not the others. In the merchandise event Reisinger and Allender tied for fourth place.
 The best prize of the whole tourna- ment was the solid gold, handsomely engraved hunting case IS jewel watch which was won by Allender in the Selby handicap, in which he broke 24 out of 9 birds. There were about 50 contestants in this match and AlleE- der was placed at a handicap of IT yards.
 In the team event Clifton was a -1a fa11 htrf ivdS ho- hind the high squad. A. total of 50 shots were fired in this event. The first p 5resulted as follows: Reisinger l9, Murphy B. Allender 19, Burtch IT; second 9, Reisinger 19, Allender 2l, Murphy 2l, Burtch 19.
 When it is considered that the shooting was done during three days of the highest wind that had been in Tucson for some time our boys made an excellent showing, as they were compelled to shoot under regulations than they were accustomed to.
 Gilbert, Poston and Marshall, three of the world champions, were present and gave exhibitions of breaking 100 straight and such other tricks un- known to our shooters. There were six other professional trap shooters present, representing firearms and houses. About 75 shooters attended the tournament | from all over the southwest. When the Clifton delegation left they in tended to land the next territorial tournament at Clifton and could easily have done so, but after consider atiou it was decided that Phoenix was | the most desirable place.

A Shipment of Horses.

Jack McAllister left this week with bunch of horses which are to be taken to San Antonio for sale. Be- sides a number of his own he has about forty head that were sent in from the Double Circle range and ar rived in Clifton Tuesday afternoon. Jack and his party of COW punchers left here early Wednesday m orning with the whole bunch and will drive them overland to Lordsburg, where they will be loaded on the cars. There will be about four carloads in all, and as Jack is a first class trader it should not take him very long to clean up the bunch. Among them are some pretty good horses.

100 Feet to Death.

Oleando Lima, Mexican employed in the Ryerson mine at Morenci, met with a most unfortunate accident while at work one day last week which resulted in instant death. He was shoveling ore with his back to a shaft when the shovel handle broke. This caused him to lose his footing and he fell backwards into the shaft, landing at the bottom, and falling a distance of about 100 feet. When re- covered the body was mangled and death must have been instantaneous.

The railroad company has paid a good price for the houses and the money has been refunded to stock holders of the improvement company.
