Clean-Up Day

Many towns in the state have a
Clean Up Day" or days. Grand
Junction has designated March 16,
II and IS as the dates when the
city will assist the citizens in the
cleanup On those days every
property owner will be required
to collect the trash and debris in
to piles and the city will furnish
teams to haul off and dump the
accumulations. The. dates fixed
for that city are trifle early for
this town as the ground will not
be in proper condition here so
soon. Grand Junction proposes
to make this annual cleaning COM
pulsory. On the days designated
the city will assist the citizens as
mentioned. In case a property
owner does not clean up. the city
will cause the work to be done
and charge the cost against the
property. There should be no
necessity for drastic regulations
here as it is believed that the citi-
zens will willingly do their part.
Concerted action is necessary to
make the work effective. The
reason for having three days in
Grand Junction is that the city
will be districted and the work
done in one district at a time so
that the city teams may haul off
the piles as soon as they accumu-
late. In Paonia the work can all
be done in one. Let our town dads
appoint a day and let every occu-
pant of property turn out on that
day and make a clean sweep of
all the weeds. rags. paper. tin
cans and other refuse from lots,
alleys and streets. The town can
be very much improved in ap-
pearance in a very short time and
at small expense. AS soon as the
condition of the ground will per-
init Of good job. the work |
should be done. Many towns in
the state have established a clean
ap day and the work is done|
every year. This town should
make the start this spring and
then keep it up every spring
Should some of the people fail TO |
respond. then the town authorities
should pass an appropriate ordi-
nance which will compel the un-
willing to do their part. Let as
have clean town.

Candidates Nominated

Pursuant to a call by Chairman
Clinton l. Oliver, the Paonia
party met at Crooks hall Tues
day evening and proceeded to
nominate ticket for may or and
trustees to be voted on at the
coming town election. There
was very good attendance, but
not "a large as there should be at
time when the town needs so
much public improvement. Peo-
pie who will not turn out and assist
in the selection of their public
officials. have no right to COM
plain of what is done by those
who do their duty. Mr.. J. M.
Haley was chosen chairman with
out dissent. and Mr.. Clinton l..
Oliver was similarly chosen Sec
retary. When nominations for
mayor were announced to be in
order there was painful silence
for quite while- Nobody seemed
TO have thought of any candida e

peated calls from the chairman
for nominations Mr.. J. F. Wake

Mr.. A. s. Davis. Mr.. A. J. Cas-
tell was then nominated by Mr.. J.
A. Boston. Mr.. Wakefield de
clined the nomination. Ii was
suggested that Mr.. Castell is a
trustee who holds over and that
his election as mayor would create
another vacancy in the council.
his name was withdrawn and Mr..
Clinton l.. Oliver nominated.
Mr.. Oliver declined. The con-
vention was in no mood to accept
declinations and demanded a
ballot. The ballot resulted in 10
votes for Mr.. Wakefield and 22
votes for Mr.. Oliver. Mr.. Oliver
was dec ared the nominee. On
being called on for speech Mr..
Oliver annouced that he fully
appreciated the trouble that had
been cooked up for him and an
nounced his intention to rustic
up another candidate. After the
meeting a number of citizens
urged him to accept the inevitable
and let the people choose their
candidates. When nominations
tor trustees were called for there
was a trifle more alacrity shown.
1t was announced that four trus-
tees were to be electe d. three for
the full term of two years and
one to serve one year to fill a
vacancy. The following persons
were then placed before the con-
vention: A. s. Davis. P. c. Curtis.

Commercial Association Meeting

The meeting OF the Commercial
Association held last Friday
evening was oLe of the most in
teresiing ever held. There seemed
TO be more enthusiasm than usual.
AT $50 those present sat down
to banquet gotten up and served
in the usual faultless style. By the
way. Paaonia is acquiring a repu-
tation for the excellence OF its
banqucts. Ii was intended to ad-
lourn TO another room after the
banquet. but that was otherwise
occupied. so chairs were pushed
back from the tables and business
transacted in the same room. An
interesting program had been
prepared and sent out. which
probably accounted for the ex-

ing.
The program as carried out
proved to be an incentive to q
tree expression OF opinion by
many besides the speakers Sc
lccted to introduce topics for dis
cussion. Civic Improvement. the
first number on the program, was
assigned to Geo. o. Blake. He
outlined system ot improve
ments for the town which in
cluded the establishment of
grades. grading of streets. park
ing of all residence streets. max
ing sidewalks uniform as to width
and distance from lot lines and
suggesting other matters which
the property owners should do.
An animated discussion followed.
participated in by many residents
of town. and the discussion finally
extended to country roads and
their improvement. This brought
tn the front many residents OF the
vicinity with various opinions as
to methods. There was no dif-
serence of opinion about the de-
sirabil,ty of good streets and good
roads, but some variance as to
the best and most practical
methods to be pursued. Without
doubt the discussion will result in
good by way of creating a senti-
meut for better conditions at the
earliest practicable moment.

vas the topic assigned to Clinton
L. Oliver. He commended the
association on the work already
done and pointed out ways in
which il can be even more useful
in the future. He pointed out
the necessity forl closer cooper
alton between the..:business men
and the fruit growers in order to
produce the best..results. The in
tcrdependence OF the.twe on each
other was clearly pointed out,
showing the mutuality Of interest
which must exist if each is to
come into its own. Under the

quate fund for permanent road
making, Everybody knows that
Mr.. Roberts is good roads" en-
thusiast and that if he had the
funds there would be roads worth
while. There was much discus
sion OF ways and means for get.
ting better results. The question
of having traction engine in
stead of teams elected a lively
discussion. b. s. Ruddick. with
evident intent to get little more
out of the commissioner. asked
him why il was that down at
Hotchkiss a splendid road had
been built. Mr. Roberts made
plain the reason. When the pco-
pie were asked SO supplement the
county work with donations oil
several days work with teams,
they responded heartily aud the
road was made possible. In this
vicinity there is not a hearty re-
sponse to such requests and the
work can not be done with the
funds available. That seemed to
be the prod that Ruddick was
wanting dug up. AT any rate i,
did some good. Ii was evident
from the showing made that some
method must be devised to lessen
the cost of repairs. Cement cul.
verts would do much toward that
end. Making permanent road
way at the worst places will elm
mate a good deal more. Such dis
cussions will result in better roads.
During the discussion. a repre-
sentative of the ]. I. Case manu-
featuring company who was pres.
ent was called on to speak about
traction engines and road rollers.
He expressed the opinion that a
traction engine is more effective
and cheaper than teams for road
work. He also said that a heavy
roller rendered the grading much
more permanent and in case OF
macadam was a necessity. There
was some dissent to these senti.
ments. but the majority OF those
present seemed to endorse these
views. The cost seemed to be
the OF lection. During the re-
marks of Mr.. Roberts, he said
that he was IN favor of a greater
road tax. but that he did not feel
free to advocate it before the
board of commissioners unless he
felt sure the people were in favor
of it. A vote was taken and the
sentiment was for more road tax.

 CONLEY \ BEATING
AMERICAN IS PUNISHED HARD IN TEN ROUNDS WITH ENGLISH CHAMPION

LOS ANGELES, June 7.-owen Moran. the English featherweight, gave Frankie Conley, the Ameridan champion bantamweight boxer a de eisive beating in their ten-round con test at the Maud Pavilion tonight. The bout went the limit and Conley was full of fight at the finish. though he had been punished during the five rouds.
 Moran's superior strength and clev- erness were manifest from the start The bantam champion fought him every inch of the way, however, and there were few moments that were not full of action. The Englishman landed hard and often, but Con- ley's ability to assimilate punishment carried him through to the final gong.

WELLS FARGO MAKES
 NEW RATES ID BISBEE
REDUCTION IN EXPRESS RATES ON DIFFERENT COMMODITIES FROM EASTERN POINTS.

Commencing on June 18th a sub stantial reduction in express rates from eastern points to Bisbee win be effective. This reduction not only applies to Bisbee. but covers all points in the territory.
 The reduction is not made on the percentage basis, a specific reduc- ton. per 100 pounds, is made from New York. Chicago. Denver. Kansas City, Fl Paso and intermediary points to Arizona.
 From eastern points generally this reduction will, in most cases amount to about one dollar per 100 pounds.
 The Wells Fargo agent in Globe is authority for the statement that reductions from Pacific coast points of 50 cents per 100 pounds and 25 cents per 100 pounds from Los An geIes will go into effect at the same time. but sof ar. the Bisbee agent has received no notification of a reduction from coast points. with the excetion of Portland. which is very small.
 The reduction per 100 pounds from the principal eastern points to Bis bee is as follows:
 From New York, Sl.50 per 100 pounds
 From Chicago. sl75 per 100 pounds.
 From Denver. s1.75 per 100 pounds.
 From Kansas City. sl75 per 1oc pounds
 From Fl Paso. s1.25 per 100 pounds
 The reduction varies in regard tc the nature of the commodity shipped but the reduction as stated above will apply generally.

PROMISES MADE WERE BROKEN
 |S ASSERTION
COuncllmen From Third and First Wards Said to Have Promised Defeated Candi- dates.

That promises were made and broken prior to the selection of the appointive officers by the new city council. is the statement freely made by those who failed to piek ihe official plums.
 The point blank assertion is made that Councilman Walter Greasy. Of the Third ward, before aad after the city election. promised his sup port to Dr. Miner for the position of health officer It is believed that he would have re1eivcd Iree additional votes in the Council and would have received the appointment. Just what caused the change of heart and vote on the part of Greasy is not known but when the roll was called Greasy voted for Williams.
 Another point blank statement that is being freely made. since the appointments by the Council. is one to the effect that Councilman Jacob Schmid. of the First Ward. in def erence to the wishes Of a large num- Der of republicans and democrats who reside in that ward. agreed to support Roy MOrfoOt for the position of City Attorney. According to the story that Is going the rounds. Coun- cilman Schmid agreed to support Morfoot within fifteen minutes before he departed from his home to at tend the meeting of the council. Either the candidates for the offices of City Health Officer and City At torney took too much for granted or else the newly elected council men from the third and first wards were little too previous with their promises.
 The republican party in Cochise county, both in the city and the county, believesc that the management of the affairs of the party and the making of appointments should be in the hands of the organization. In the city campaign in Bisbee the or ganization was in the hands of Mr Ed J. Flannigan. Chairman of the City Central Committee. and now City Attorney.
 The results show that the organiza- ton IS still in command.

YOUNG WOMAN
 WRITES LETTER REVEALSTRACEOY
Arizona Officers Are Asked to Locate Photograph Of Girls Dead Lover for Whom She Made SeaCh,

Reading between the lines of let ter received by Marshal Moore of Phoenix. from Jennie L. Woods of Lewistown Idaho. the real pathos and heart tragedy are revealed. None but the sweetheart of a man could write such a letter, and none but she who was seeking some tender remem- brance of the one who had been talk en from her would make the request embodied in Miss Woods letter.
 This particular letter comes from Los Angeles. although it Is evident that the young lady lives in Idaho After reciting that she had written the marshal in March from Lewis town relative to William Ridge, who had been In Phoenix in December Miss Woods states that the body ol the young man had been picked m beside the railroad tracks near Bakersfield. The young man had evidently fallen from train and the condition of the remains was sueh as to render Identification impossi- ble but for the fact that in his vest nocket was found a gold watch con faining a picture of Miss Woods
 This watch and this picture, Miss Woods states in her letter. Ridge had when they last met in Idaho. and tbe, have since been turned over to her by the coroner at Bakersfield. Miss Woods has learned that Ridge left his trunk in this city at one or the depots, and in that trunk she knows him to have had photograph of himself mounted in a gilt frame. She ascks if it is possible for her to have Ridges trunk sent to her, as it contains, beside the picture or the unfortunate young man, many letters from her.
 When Miss Woods failed to hear from Ridge. she did not conclude that he had forsaken her or was delin- auent in writing but felt intuitively that something had befallen him.
 She set out to find him, and after travelling a long distance was finally apprised of the finding of the young mans body at Bakersfield. Not alone does she ask the marshal to secure the trunk. but would also be thank ful for any information as to where he stopped while here and how long he was in Phoenix. Marshal Moore will undertake to regard the young woman's request so far as possible
