BASE BALL
MOrenci II Clifton |.

Sunday, the locals got about the
worst beating of the season when
Morenci romped away with the game
Il TO l.
The unkind fate that has US down
seems to take a keen delight in rub
bling it in, and every thing broke
wrong Sunday. In vain the fans are
carrying rabbits feet, Billikens and
their charms Even the new uniforms
failed to break the "Jinx."
As far as the game goes Morenci
won by hitting when the hits counted.
The locals played a loose game at
times and Morenci took advantage of
every opportunity to swell the tide.
Failure of the locals to connect where
men we're on bases accounts for the
low score which would have been a
shut out but for the one lone smile
Dame Fortune favored us. Barclay
and Riley had singled in the sixth
and were on third and first. Riley
started for second before Merritt de-
livered the ball and was caught be-
tween the bags. In the run up
Barclay kept edging for home and
making a sudden dash was safe, Riley
going to second. For the first three
innings the game was fast but after
the fateful fifth the gingle all went

The Cactus LEAGUE.

The only change in the Cactus
League standing last week was the
breaking of the Douglas Ell Paso tie,
Douglas taking two out Of three from
the Pass City boys and moving into
third place.
Bisbee and Cananea divided hohors.
Morenci added to her lead and Cliff
ton dropt some points. The gap be-
tween Clifton and Cananea is slowly
widening and it will take hard play
ing to get back in the bunch.
This week should bring some inter-
esting developments in the league.
Morenci meets Douglas and Clifton
goes to Bisbee.
Bisbee has at present about the
strongest team in the league and will
send in her best line up against Cliff
ton, they have been slowly dropping
back in the percentage column lately
and will not let chance to take two
from the local boys slip by them. On
the other hand just what Cliftons
chances are is hard to say. The team
is still badly crippled but able to
make a game fight.
Douglas is going good right now
and should give Morenci a hard run
for the series
The percentage column shows again
for Morenci, Douglas and Cananea
and loss for B;sbee, Ell Paso, and
Clifton.

POsTMAsTERS TO HAVE RAISES.
Clifton One of Sixteen Where Increased
Salaries Are Granted.

The postmaster general has an
nouuced that on July first sixteen
Arizona postoffices will receive auto
matte increases in salaries, and Gilt
ton is on the list. Who says that
this town is a dead one? One of the
best ways to tell whether the bust
ness in a place is falling off or in
creasing is to know how much bust
ness the postoffice is doing. In order
to obtain 500 increase the pcstoffice
business has got to show $1,000 in
crease for the year. If the Office
here has done $1,000 more business
this year than last it certainly shows
that business in general has picked
up.
In Arizona not a single postmaster
has received a decrease in salary
while there are I've in New Mexico
whose salaries have been cut down.
Postmaster Weiss is son the job"
every minute when it comes to post
Office affairs. There are very few
postmasters in the STATE of Ari-
IONA who afe sd we'll versed on the
postoffice rules and regulations. We
claim that he missed his calling in
not being a lawyer.
Postmasters at the following cities
will receive increases as follows:
Clifton, $1,000 to S2lOG.
Douglas, $500 to $4,000.
Flagstaff, $500 to $1,000.
Globe, $4,000 to S27OO. .
Grand Canyon, $1,000 to $14O0.
jerome, S17O0 to $1,000.
Kingman, $500 to $1,000
Mesa, $17OO to $500.
Metcalf, S11OO to 1920.
Phoenix, $500 to $4,000.
Silverbell, sllOO to 1920.
Tempe, S17OO to $780,
Tucson, $4,000 to 5000.
Wilcox, $l40O to $500.
Williams, $1,000 to $1,000.
Winslov, R!70) Ia : 800.
CORTLAND aud K-isin, two fourth.
class offices in Arizona are to be
elevated to the presidential class.
The salary of the postmaster of the
former will hereafter be $500 year
while the latter will receive $1l00.
The president sent to the senate
the following postmaster nomina-
tions:

Retaining Wall PROGRESSING.

The retaining wall by the A. & N.
NJ. bridge is progressing radidly. 80
men have been at work there since
the 10th and 44O feet below the bridge
is almost completed. They have yet
o~go 300 feet above. The wall is
on a slant towards the river bed and
is 134 feet high. 1t surely looks as if
this wall will solve the flood question
on that side as it is as strong al! could
possibly be built. Messrs. Wander
cook and Kilmer, who have the con-
tract. are experienced men and UNI
derstand their work thoroughly.

ALittIe Light on School Question.

At the time of the mass meeting a
week or so ago Mr.. Weiss made the
statement that he felt sure that the
three trustees of district No. 3 would
act also as trustees for the high
school. This was refuted but w. F
j. Immediately wrote to A. G Nc
Alister, district attorney, on the
matter and following is the letter he
received in answer. According to
this. Mr.. Weiss was correct in his
statement.

r. J. Coleman has returned from a
bear hunt in the mountains. He got
two. Yes, "on the dead" he did.
The Coronado mine has been closed
this week owing to the scarcity of
water. The work of piping from Mo-
renci is being hurried along.
F. A. Shaw, of Phoenix, grand lee.
turer of the Masonic order, has been
spending the past two weeks in Cliff
ton, giving the local Masons series
of instructions.
The first news of statehood received
in Clifton was contained in a tele-
gram received by Dell Potter last
Saturday as follows: Gam pleased
to advise you that statehood bill as
amended and passed by the senate
was unanimously concurred in by the
house this afternoon and will become
a law as soon as measure is signed by
president Monday.
RALPH CAMERON"
On Monday morning one Mexican
was shot by another at Morenci. De-
puties have been scouting the cohn.
try and brought in the man named by
the victim of the assault. A day or
so later he told them that this man
who was locked up was not the right
one but refused to reveal the Mexican
who had done the shooting. He had
been talked turkey" to by his "fellow
citizens and thus gave the fellow a
chance to escape.
Oscar Sarodino, a former Clifton
resident who was killed two weeks
ago in Mexico, came to his end in
most cruel manner, He had dis
charged a Mexican from work and
the following day the latter returned
and started a conversation. With
out the least warning he plunged
chisel into his victims breast. 1t
was most cowardly attack.
Word was received this week from
Professor Halverson from Washing
ton, D. C., saying that he heard the
debate in the Senate on Statehood
bill. We presume that he was the
only Clifton resident who had this
opportunity. He has visited New
Orleans and CEarlston, S. c., and will
arrive in Chicago this week where he
will attend the university for the
summer.
The long continued drought is being
severity felt at Metcalf. The wells
are almost dry and the water shaft
of the A. G. has, for the first time
failed. The Shannon Co. has been
forced to bring water tenders daily
from Clifton to supply their men.
The water line from Morenci which is
being installed by the A. c. will we
understand, be rushed through to
relieve the situation and it certainly
should prove blessing to the parched
community.
On Tuesday at p. m. the whistles
began to "whoop it up" and there
was no rest for about ten minutes.
Dynamite was also exploded to make
real nice noise. People were at
first enquiring and running to locate
the fire but it suddenly dawned on
them that if they wished to see the
cause of the disturbance they would
have to go to Washington, D. G.
Actually some of them seemed to
forgotten that the bill had been
signed. o, you State of Ari iona

GEENLEE COUNTY.


The organiza ton of the new county
of Greenlee which is to come into
existence January l, 1911 according
to an act of the last legislature, is
now attracting considerable attention
at Morenci, Clifton and Duncan, the
three principal towns in the territory
Included in Greenlee. Especially are
the politicians busy just now figuring
the possibilities of the future. There
are a good many of these who have
been set aside in the past by the
strong precincts of the ella valley
in the old county of Graham. They
are now calculating that their oppor-
tunity for advancement in the politi-
cal arena is at hand with the creation
of the new county.
There seems to be no doubt about
the county seat of Greenlee county
being located at Clifton; the people
of Clifton want the court house Mo-
renci seems to be willing that Clifton
shall have it; the only danger for
Clifton which might send the county
seat to Ounce n the progressive town
In the upper ella valley, would be a
local fight over the selection of a site
for the court house IF the court
house goes to Clifton it will probably
be located on what is known as Hills
| fat, though the old Henry Collins
hotel property on the east side of the
Frisco river would be a good location.

WEEDS BEING CUT.
Through Concert Of Action the Weed
Nuisance Will Soon be Abated.

As a result of the combined efforts
OF the Commercial Club and the press,
the work of cutting the weeds in the
streets and alleys of Bryan. has been
begun and is now on in dead earnest.
Alderman Burger informed the report
er that he had two mowers running
cutting weeds in streets and alleys and
was notifying property owners to cut
the weeds on their sidewalks. He re-
ports that the citizens are responding
nobly and that a great weed cutting
is now in progress in Bryan. He
thinks that within a very short time
this useless. unsightly, and unsanitaty
nuisance will be entirely abated. Nine
rahs for Burger the other members
of the council and the citizens who
have Joined in the crusade against the
