Yet there is another little story to
be recited before the matter can be
concluded in its entirety,
It must be understood that the mat
ter credited to Reed Smoot was given
by the News in response to an inquiry
which it had presented to him concern
ing the manner in which he had saved
his first thousand dollars. A similar
question had been propoundcd to sew
eral prosperous business men here
abouts, and all had agreed in their re-
plies that when it came to hard work.
the saving of the first thousand seemed
to them to have been the hardest they
had experienced. After that was ac.
complished each Of the gentlemen ap-
preached had stated, the rest was com.
paratively easy.
The little story to which we refer,
and which concerns the accumulation Of
Reed Smoot s first thousand dollars. was
told by "Uncle' Jesse Knight Of
Provo in the year 1908. The way
"Uncle" Jesse tells it. it was to the
effect that Reed was in charge of the
Provo Woolen mills. At that institu-
tion were quite number Of employees,
all of whom, it is scarcely necessary
to say, were coreligionists Of Elder
Smoot. Being Of an exceedingly thrifty
nature. Reed sought to turn an honest
penny by means Of his position at the
mills. So he went to the storckecpers
at Provo and offered to issue as pay to
his employees orders for merchandise.
provided these storekeepers "came
through with n percentage thereof in
Smoot IS favor. He succeeded in max
ing an arrangement whereby he pro-
cured rakeoff Of ten per cent on this
account, and to the detriment of his
employees. AS "Uncle +" Jesse rcmem-
bers it-and he has a long memory
this is how Reed Smoot "savcd' his
first thousand dollars
And now, that really is about all
there is to the whole matter.

Practicine Economy.

Since the beginning of the new administration in the board of super visors office of Graham county, there have been numerous kicks on the part of parties presenting demands on the county funds, but so far none of the papers of the county have commented upon the question. THE ERA is of the opinion that the taxpayers elect their county officers for the purpose of conducting county business just the same as if they were handling their own affairs, consequently the board will receive the support of the people in cutting down unjust bills.
 It is reported from good authority that during the last quarter there was presented to the board demands amounting to S1700 tor guard fees at Metcalf in the diptheria cases. Of this amount the mining companies are to pay one-half, which still leaves rather large amount of money to be paid by the county for such short period. The county has been allow ing the sum of $500 per day for guard fees, which amounts 10 $500 for the day and night service for each case in which guards were employed. In order to cut down this expense the
 
 per day will be paid for guards in such cases. This order will probably not be good news to those who have been serving as guards, but it will save the county some money in the future.
 The board of supervisors is one of the most important offices in the county, as it passes upon the eXpendi. ture of the county funds, and with it lies the responsibility of either spend ing the money loosely or saving every dollar possible. It is not known, per haps, that the county started off the first of January, 1909, with consider able smaller bank roll than for several years, and it is up to the pre- sent board to keep expenses low, or we may find ourselves paying taxes at the rate of S4.00 per hundred again.
 However, we do not believe that just because the board has the power to disallow county demands, that it should do so in every case, but when this action is necessary it should not hesitate to apply the knife.

The TaiIines Case.

At the session of the supreme court at Phoenix recently the decision of Judge Nave was sustained and the companies will have to discontinue the dumping of tailings into the river. This decision will not affect the opera tion of the great concentrating plants of this district, as the com panies have expended thousands of dollars during the past few years in building dams and reservoirs for the storage of the tailings. One big dam was constructed in the Morenci can yon, which takes care of all the tail ings from the A. c. concentrator be- low Morenci, and the water running into the river from this dam is free of shines. At Clifton the A. c. company has constructed an expensive pipe line and for some time has been pump ing tailings on the lower part of Hills flat, where they are damned and set tied, with the result that the water running into the river is absent of any substance detrimental to vegeta- tion.
 Likewise the Shannon Copper com pany has large storage reservoir in the canyon near its concentrator, in which the tailings are settled, and the water running from this reservoir is perfectly clear. Thus have the mining companies of this district mastered a situation which for long time threatened the successful opera tion of the concentrator, without which few of the mines could be operated.
 It seems to be the general opinion now that the small amount of matter that is entering the river will in no way damage the farming lands of the valley, and the companies are to be congratulated upon having done their part to correct condition which the farmers have for many years claimed was the ruination of their property. From now on it is to be hoped that the farmer will recognize the value of the company property and the company will recognize that of the farmer, without which there cannot be mutual prosperity. Therefore, let's quit fighting and work for the best interests of all.
 We should realize that without the companies in this county a great many of us would not be here and the farmers would not have as good market and prices for their produce.

Clifton 4-MOrenci 2,

Clifton got back at Morenci Sun day, defeating them in an interesting game to ?.
 The usual Sunday sand storm was in evidence, keeping the attendance down, but those who did turn out witnessed a clean played game, in which the interest never Jagged till the last man was down.
 Fehrman was on the firing line for the locals and pitched a steady game, backed up by faultless support. The home club hit when hits counted, out pointing Moreuci both at the bat and in the field. Morenci secured one in the first on Volbreckt's single and double by H. Brubacker. Clifton evened things up in their half. Will Hams singled, Longwell walked and Mason's single filled the bags. Gan non famed, Wards grounder was too hot for Crittingden, and Williams scored, Ward was caught mapping and Riley made the third out. In the third Williams walked, Volbreckt got tangled up on Longwell's at tempted sacrifice and both men were safe, Williams taking 3rd on the play. Longwell stole second and Mason brought both men home with clean hit to center. Two singles in the fourth gave Morenci one more, and after that they went down in one, two, three order, no man getting be- yond second base, and only one get ting that far. In the fifth Williams hit for two bases, scoring on Long wells two bagger. In the seventh with the bases full Williams tried the squeeze play. The "squeezer" was in good working order, Ward placing the ball nicely and Williams crossed the plate as it left the bat, but as there were. two down and Ward was thrown out the run did not count. The Clifton supporters were well pleased with the exhibition, in fact from the opening of the sea- son they have been satisfied that we have a winning team here. The weather has not been favorable so far for the boys to do their best work, but they have shown that evidence of team work and place hitting that is bound to count in the end.
 Manager Riley is working hard for the teams interest and the rooters appreciate his efforts and will give their loyal support. What we want now is good weather.

MINING NOTES
Pertaining to CIiftOn-MOrenci Dis
 triCt and SurrOundin9 Camps.

A. L. Work, president of the New York-Arizona company, visited Cliff ton yesterday on business. He re- ports that the recent new strike in the Lillian tunnel caused a number of local stockholders to visit the property, all of whom were well pleased with the prospects of the company. The present management of the company is operating on a most economical basis and every possible saying is being made, in or der to do just as much work with the money on hand as possible. A large number of people who bought stock under contract are still keep ing up their monthly assessment and it is reported that number of new ones have been added to the list re gently. Just at the present date the treasury of the company is in good shape, with ample funds to go ahead with development for some time MT.

WATCH the smoke of the Clifton Morenci mining district within the next five years. The building of the new Shannon railroad, connecting the shelter with the mines at Met calf and the possibility of a main line Southern Pacific connection from the valley are the latest pre- dictions. The Shannon road is a reality and the building of the. other line is by no means imagination, aa encouraging announcements have al ready been made. The widening of the gauge of the Clifton Northern to the copper and gold fields of the Greenlee district up the Frisco river is another improvement that will probably be made in the near future, and it now seems that the district is facing wave of prosperity.

A New Sanitary Dairy.

w. A. Lines & Co.,, proprietors of the Clifton and Morenci dairies, are just completing one of the finest sanitary dairy buildings in the terri tory, located a short distance below Morenci, being the Morenci branch of the company. The building is E0x90 feet, with a capacity of fifty stalls and the floor is composed of concrete, with a 16-inch drainage trough from one end to the other. Connection is made with the Morenci water line and the stable will be flushed out daily. An other immediate improvement will be the addition of a steam sterilizer, which will make the dairy strictly modern in every respect. The dairy building on Chase creek, which is connected with the Clifton branch of the company, is also being i'm mproved in many respects.
 Clifton is extremely fortunate in the dairy line, as the Whipple and Lines dairies have the reputation of furnishing the purest milk of any dairy in the southwest. Their prem ises are constantly held open for in spection to outsiders who desire to see how their dairy products are handled

A small block of New York-Arizona stock was recently advertised for sale in the ERA by party in the east It was offered at a most reasonable figure and there was such a scramble for it that at least half dozen Cliff ton and Morenci people not only wrote to buy it but telegraphed. The ad. proved to some of the eastern people that local people had a great deal of confidence in the property of the New York-Arizona company, which is now under excellent man. agement.
