CLARA MORRIS PROBABLY
WILL BE BLIND.
(By United Press Leased Wjre)

YONKERS, n. v, May 19.-Ac-
cording to physicians attending
Mrs. F. c. Herriott (Clara Morris)
a we'll known actress, there is prac-
tically no hope of preventing her
from going blind.
The family physician, DR.. b. NJ,
Belcher, said that everything with
in the power of medicine has been
tried, but despite all efforts her
sight is failing rapidly.
Two famous New York eye spe-
Cialists have been in conference
over her case, and it is probable
that they will recommend an OPP
her sight.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-No
longer do the children Of Washing
ton group themselves under the
trees of the White House lawn Sat
urday afternoons and romp on the
grass while listening to the music
of the splendid Marine band.
No longer can the underpaid gov
eminent clerk quit work early,
walk the brief distance to the
White House, and there. in as beau
tiful a spot as there is In the
United States, meet his Mamie,
who is also overworked and under
paid and listen to the band play
inspiring music.
The grounds now are forbidden
the children, the sweethearts and
the aged alike The concerts have
been discontinued. Now we nave
the Lunetta.
Don't you know what the Lu-
Meta is? Well, perhaps it does need
a word of explanation. This Lunetta
is the smart waterside drive in
Manila. 1t was established by the
Ivy al SONS llolll opoih.
1t was where. in the cool of the
day, the lords of the land might
take their leisure in their fine
equipages.
The United States, in taking over
the Philippines, assimilated more
than the natives and a lot of land
for the sugar trust. The Tafts as
simulated the Lunetta for us.
The Washington Lunetta isn't
called the Lunetta, but the speed
way. or Potomac park. But it was
frankly Mrs. Tafts idea. 1t Is a
splendid boulevard of oiled mac
adam, encircling the walled tidal
reservoir of the Potomac, immedi-
ately southwest Of the Washington
monument.
The great sidewalks for pedes-
TRANS is not as wide as the bride
path ON the other side of the drive.

Petition For The Consolidation of School
 District Nos. 3 and 3S.

We the Undersigned Residents and Tax-Payers, residing in whatis known as School Districts Nos. and 38 Cliff ton, Graham County, Arizona, do persent this petition asking that your Honorabl Board of Supervisors con- solidate the said School District, No. 3 with that of No. 3S into one School District, to be known as School Dis trict No. 3. in accordance with the revised School Laws of the Territory of Arizona, a Special Act, approved, March Fist, 19O7., pertaining to the consultations of one or more School Districts.
 The following are some reasons and advantages to be derived from the consolldation:
 l. That the Schools under one head and special management can be more economically handled: 2. As in all other cities and towns the concentration of advanced grades with the advantages of a Unior School may be taught with at least one half the instructive force, there by avoiding both confusion to the pupils and the teachers:
 3. With money saved from the higher grades we will be able tt employ more teachers for the primary grades, thus increasing attendance which we are now in no shape tC handle, also increasing our percent age of apportionment:
 4. By unifying course of study ant having schools under one manage ment, the teaching expense percapit will be reduced, better service ot tained and the whole school be starte' on the proper road to future improve

Fire in North Clifton.

Between and ' o'clock Wednes- day evening the fire whistle announced the startling fact that a conAagration was raging in North Clifton. Upon arrival at the scene it was found that the residence of Mrs. Galloway was on fire just opposite the Becker-Franz store. Prompt action of the A. C.ire laddies, assisted by the citizens of that part of town prevented what would have been a disastrous loss. The new town hose house and cart for North Clifton proved its utility in time Of need and, being but about 30 yards away the new hose was attached to the fire play at the corner of the Becker-Franz store, and in less than five minutes a full stream of water was playing on the blazing building. While the fire boys were attending to their part kind friends removed what effects they could from the cottage. The building is owned by w. F. Hagan, and oc- cupied by Mrs. Galloway, who has two daughters, one of whom is an invalid being prostrated by the shock, remaining unconscious for several hours. The other daughter is the estimable lady clerk at the Chase creek A. c. store. The los: will aggregate about s40O. The build ing was partly insured through the J. l $ A Smith agency.

School Petition.

The school petition which is print ed elsewhere in this issue has been circulating for the past week. That the movement is most popular one is evidenced by the number who have signed. As we go to press there are about 300 names down. We feel sure that there is much money to be saved by consolidation of the districts Everyone so far is taking fayorably to it although all the taxpayers have not been seen yet.

The notice in last weeks paper about Miss Joey Gray in the Fl Paso Herald voting contest placed a mis- conception on the matter, not know ing that Miss Gray was the only con- testant in Clifton, and we hasten to apologize to Miss Gray, who well de- serves the honor of the first prize, and it is to hoped that the Clifton boys and all others will rustic and vote for her.
 Austin Morris and family came in Monday from the Tom Stockton ranch. Austin says that the range out there has received three good rains in the past week and there will be plenty of fat cattle in a short time MT. Stockton has sold quite bunch of his cattle. receiving SIS for yearlings, $21 for two-year olds and s23 and s24 for three-year olds.
 Last week J. A. Smith, a prominent rancher of the Duncan county, while out near Red Rock, N. M., accidently shot himself in the right foot. He rode into Silver City after medical attention, and from there to Duncan and came to Clifton Friday, having to go 10 Morenci and have Dr. Tut { hill locate the ball. Dr. Dietrich ex- tracted 1t Saturday afternoon, much to the relief of MT. Smith.
 Go. F., N. G. A, Clifton were under inspection drill Friday evening by Capt Guy H. Palmer, U- S.

Palmer con- plienented the men op their appear ance and exact discipline main tained.
 Joe Billingsley's fine Jersey cowiwas badly hurt Monday in trying to jump out of the town pound. Some one left his yard gate open and the COW got onto the street. The town Hockshaw set dogs after the animal and chased it into and around the enclosure. The animal was very much frightened and attempted to jump the w'-N ferre. The pound should not attract animals very much, vet when the grounds near by are used for camping purpose, it is natural for stock to drift that way.
 On the Shannon hill many improve ments are being inaugurated on a big scale The new hospital, ware house, ofice, gigantic ore bins, and not least of all the company's cot tages have been newly painted and present a neat appearance.

This company is one of the most progressive in the sou invest, and extends to its employees the privilege of comfortable homes at a reasonable rentage.
 The following inscription was taken from the monument to Henry Clay at Lexington, Ky, in the early 6Os by Col. Wiggins:
 "I can with unshaken confidence appeal to the Divine Arbiter for the truth of the declaration that l have been influenced by no impure purpose no personal motive, have sought nc personal ggrandizement, but that ir all my public acts I h rye had a sole and single eye, and warm devoted heart directed and dedicated, to what in my best judgement, l beleived tC be the true interests of my country.
