THERE is some little complaint in
the residence section of the town
that the garbage wagons are not as
prompt in removing the garbage as
they might be. Those who know of
SUCH conditions should report the
same to the council as the council is
of the belief that this work is being
done right. 1t must be remembered
that the. members of the council have
a great deal of work to do which is
wholly gratis to the town. and citi-

THE board of supervisors have or
dered an election in Solomonville for
the purpose of deciding. whether or
not that town shall remain incor-
porated. OF course the town will dis
incorporate, but the ERA remembers
that the Bulletin made the assertion
showed that Solomonville was disin-
cOrporated a number of years ago.
There must have been mistake or
it would not be necessary to go to the
expense of holding an election to dis
incorporate again. Before voting
the citizens of Solomonville should
visit Clifton and see what incorpora-
tion can do for a town.

Street LightS Are Burning.

On last Friday night the fifteen
street lights were turned on. Chief
Electrician Chilson and his force of
electricians commenced working
early Friday morning in placing the
globes and other connections and by
working hard the entire day, includ-
ing the first hours of the evening,
they were able to get all the lights
going. When the lights went on the
town was in brightness, many people
thinking that the moon was shining.
The arcs are the latest improved
style and give an exceedingly strong
light. They will be furnished to the
town at the rate of 500 per year for
each. light, which is considered to be
reasonable, as the company stood the
expense of installing and purchasing
the lights. They are well scattered
all over the town and are of much
benefit to our citizens. 1t has taken
a long time to get them but now that
we have them our citizens would not
part with them for anything.
The contract will be signed up
for five years and the town will
probably add a few more Lights in
the future. Shannon hill is the only
part of town that has not been furn-
ished with lights, hence it is possible
that two will be added in that local
ity and one on the wagon road on
East Side. Chief Electrian Chilson
states that the lighting plant has
capacity of twenty-five lights, hence
three or four additional arcs will not
overload the lighting plant.
The lights will be burned on the
moonlight schedule, it bhing agreed
that the lights viii be kept burning
at all hours of the night except when
the moon is shining. Should the
weather be unreasonably cloudy the
lights are to be kept burning for the
safety and convenience of the public.

The Rebekah benefit ball given at
Armory Hall last Saturday evening
was one of the most pleasant func-
tions ever given under the auspices
of this lodge. The attendance was
good and the ladies report com
plete success in every particular and
the ladies who had the dance in
charge desire to thank those who
helped them. The decorations of
the hall were a source of much COM
ment, giving the large hall most
pleasant and pleasing appearance
The music was exceedingly good and
all who participated in the dancing
report a perfect program. 10 addi-
ton to the dancing refreshments
we're served, which were also enjoy
ed immensely. 1t is understood that
four of the homemade cakes we're
made of the airship design and be-
fore the refreshments were served a
puff of wind came along and they
made their fight. The disappear
ance of the cakes created commo-
ton aud a searching party was or
gained. Two of the plates were
later recovered in the neighborhood
of the baseball graudstand, but the
cakes continued on the jou rney.

The Eagle masquerade ball at

comical costumes worn by those who
took part in the dancing was the
source of much appreciation and
pleasure The music was good
and the entertainment committee
left nothing undone towards showing
the public a good time. The ball was
a complete success financially as well
as otherwise.

Baseball Meeting Called.

In last weeks issue of the ERA was
published brief outline of the base
ball situation in the southwest, and
an appeal to the supporters of the
game in Clifton to get together and
boost for our 1910 team. .3
AS a result d number of the old
players got busy with some of the
prominent citizens during the past
week and the interest displayed to-
gether with the outlook was so en-
couraging that it has been decided
| to call a general meeting for Mon
day evening, February 2Sth, at pm,
when an attempt will be made to get
all the enthusiastic supporters out to
discuss the coming season and to or
ganize an association to promote the
interests of the sport here
The Armory hall has been secured
for this meeting and everybody is in
vited to attend. Already a number
of the leading men of Clifton have
signifed their intention to come out
and boost. The interest looks good
and large attendance is expected.
There are a number of matters to
be discussed and decided upon and it
is up to the people of Clifton to de-
eide what course will be followed by
the club this year. Already the peo-
pie of Douglas and Bisbee have got
ten together and pledged support to
their teams. In the latter camp
$1,000 has already been subscribed by
the business men and the report says
that not half of the town has re-
sponded yet.
From Morenci comes the news that
they are going to put the fastest
team in the field they ever turned
out and threaten dire things to the
representatives of the local camp.
We can't let these rival camps out
do us and if we are to lie in the rum
ming at all, and it is high time we get
together to start something.
For ball players our prospects
are as bright if not brighter than
ever before. a number of the old /
players are still here including some
of the best that eyer wore a Clifton
uniform. This forms a strong nucleus
on which to build a fast team. |
McCleary aud Kelly have been heard ]
from, and they will return as soon as /
college closes probably bringing
along one or more collegiate stars. |
who captained the team
the successful squirt last sea-
son when we downed FL Paso, Doug
las and Bisbee and made Morenci get |
up and trayel, has not yet signified |
his intentions, but will probably re-
turn also.
In addition to these well known
stars, several new men of unknown
quantity but reputed ability have
been heard from who wish to join the
local ranks. So the question of be-
ing able to put strong team in the
field is hardly in doubt.
The most important questions to be
discussed are grounds and the man
1er IL which our team is to be run
Lack of space prevents further dis
;ussion or comment on the Cactus
here. However, it will be
.alked over Monday night by men J
Who have followed it's progress and /
rom connection with other leagues
ire in a position to talk clearly. I
clifton is not trying to buck this or Z
or throw mud, but what
yer its advantages it has disadvant- t

Wall in South Clifton is Favored.

Since the last issue of the ERA, in
which was mentioned the necessity
of a wall from the railroad bridge to
been a considerable amount of favor
able comment by the property own
ers of that particular locality. 1t
has now been more than three years
since the last flood, during which time
the bed of the river has filed few
feet. The Arizona Copper company
has removed the old railroad bridge
from the river channel and the opin-
ion is that when the next big. flood
comes the channel will be deepened,
although this remains 20 be seen.
Property interests are too extensive
to remain idle and take chances on
the next flood, especially so when
this improvement can he made at
such light expense. The company
was willing to build the Stag wall
without cost, provided it could secure
title to the right-of-way, but sew
eral property owners who would lose
X
fused to donate. This property could
be bought very cheaply as under
present conditions it has no value,
with no prospects of ever being
worth more. If the property owners
have enough interest to protect
themselves they should get busy and
raise the amount as soon as possible
the longer it is delayed the worse
it will be. Upon the completion of
the wall being built on Chase creek
the Arizona Company will be in the
field for dumping ground for its Stag.
Why not have the matter arranged
so that the company can dump this
Stag on Hill's fat. This may cost
few dollars, but it may be worth
thousands when the next flood comes.
The next flood is as certain to come
as Providence permits rainfall.
We may not haye another flood in
many years and then again we may
have another within a short time,
hence the only safe course to pursue
is to protect the river bank and have
it ready before the next one comes
At this date this matter may not re-
ceive much consideration, but if this
work is not done there may be a re-
gretful realization at a future date.

NOTHING is heard of the move to

During the past month Clifton has
been visited by an unusual amount of
sickness, for which it is difficult to
give u reason, unless it is due to the
changeable weather. A number OF
the children have been afflicted with
sickness, but so far only very few
cases have been of a serious nature,
aud up to date few deaths have &C.
Cured. 1t cannot be on account of
the sanitary condition OF the town as
the town is in a much better sanitary
condition than it has ever been in
the history of the town.
