In fiery speech Representative Shack
leford of Missouri declared that by "ab-
dicatng his throne" the Speaker had In
stituted reign of anarchy in the House,
and that the Speaker had privately in
structed the sergeant-at-arms not to ar
rest absentees. because he was unable to
command a majority vote.
1.-THE Speaker of this House is maintain
ing state of anarchy here" shouted
Representative Shackleford shortly before
l. o'clock.
Mr.. Moore of Pennsylvania was in the
chair and had just raped the House to
order after members had been singing
There will be hot time in the cid town

1.-The sergeant alarms sits there" con-
tfnued Mr. Shackelford, land makes no
effort to perform his duty because the
Speaker may have privately directed him
to pursue that course of non-action. But
the sergeant farms Is bound to arrest
absentees and bring them in here. When
he refuses to do that he is bringing an
archy upon us.
Because the Speaker finds that he Is
not able to dominate the majority OF this
House he has refused to have quorum
brought into this House"
Gentlemen on this floor were routed
out of their beds to come here, inter-
posed Mr.. Coudrey Of Missouri.
"Why did the sergeant-at-arms come to
my room and get me, and leave undis-

who were living nearby" inquired Mr..
Shackeford.

Speakers Position Impregnable.

At noon it was said that until the
Speaker consented to rule on the admis-
sion of the Norris resolution as privileged
business it was difficult to see how a
motion to Gust the Speaker or dismiss the
sergeant-at-arms could be made.
The Speaker. without a majority to
support him, refused TO rule, knowing
he would promptly be overruled by the
allies and the House would proceed to
reorganiZe the committee on rules.
The Speaker was in the only position
known to parliamentary law where he
held absolutely he whip hand. point
of order was under discussion and 1t re-
manned for him and fer him alone to say
when that discussion should end.
There was no possible way TO enforce
the previous question. AS long as any
member desired to discuss the point OF
order the Speaker could decline to rule
and there was earthly way to force
him to rule.
There We're li0 republican regulars
ready to discuss the point of order, from
now until Christmas. if necessary. or I'M
til the regulars could rally majority.

School Election.

An election has been called for
Saturday, March 10Th, for the purpose
of electing one trustee in district No.
3. The retiring trustee is Mr.. j.
II. Magruder, who has served the dis
trict the past three years in a most
creditable manner. Just who the
candidates are is not known, but it is
understood that more interest will be
taken in this election than any previ-
our one and the vote will be heavy
one. The ladies are behind the move
and as this is the only time that the
ladies have chance to vote they will
probably exercise the privilege to the
fullest extent. The public schools
are of much more interest to residents
of Clifton than seems to be realized
and our people should exercise more
interest in them. AS general thing
it is a difficult matter to get anybody
10 run for the position of trustee for
the simple reason that the candidates
are afraid that they will have some
thing to do. If citizens will look at
the matter in the right light there
would be many candidates for the
place-especially so if they are in
terested in tie educational advant-
ages of their childreu-which all par

New Building for South Clifton.

One of the extensive owners of the
Fraser row and who has explicit con-
idence in the future of Clifton is c.
P. Dunn, who is the owner of the
handsome Shannon store building,
besides several dwellings and a first
class drug store and moving picture
show on Chase creek. The new i'm
provement Mr.. Dunn will make in
South Clifton is the erection of a
handsome two-story cement building
equipped with a large basement.
The first floor of the new building is
to be occupied as cate and the up
per floor will be divided into FIVE
three-room apartments, supplied with
bath and toilet and all modern con-
veniences. The plans are drawn but
the contract has not yet been let,
though Mr.. Dunn announces that he
will get down to business in a very
adioin the Sn@~ron store building
and when completed will add to the
appearances of that section of town.
1t is in this section of town that
the Knights of Pythias lodge last
week closed 4 deal for an excellent
piece of property on which a large
castle hall will be erected in the
future, and this in addition to other
possible improvements, will make the
Fraser row an important center.

Good Steers in the Eagle Section.

Baylor Shannon, one of the cattle
men of the upper Eagle country,
spent couple of days in Clifton last
week and in an interview with the
ERA reporter stated that for some
time cattle buyers have been over
looking that section, being under the
impression that all the good steers
have been cleaned up. This is not
the case as he says there are more
than 1000 head of fat steers in that
section that can be bought if buyer
would take a trip out there or get in
communication with some of the cat
tie owners. 1t is Il well known fact
that for fat cattle and big weight
the Eagle country is hard to beat and
those desiring good feeders have al
ways conceded that the Eagle truck
IS the best they have ever struck.
Cattle from that section seem to put
on quicker than cattle from other
ranges, and as a matter of fact they

be gathered from the ranges of any

Veterinary SURGEON to Locate Here.

P. r. Corken, veterinary surgeon
of much experience, arrived in Cliff
ton last week to engage in the prac-
tice of his business, and attention is
called to his ad. which appears in
another column of this paper. Mr..
Corken is from Oklahoma, where he
was engaged in his profession for
some time. He finds that Clifton is
an excellent field for his business,
owing to the fact that there are a
number of valuable animals here.
He states that he came here to stay,
provided the stock owners see fit to
patronize him and he can make a
living.

The Oil COMPANIES.

After getting along for years with
out the attention Of single oil COM
pany Clifton has now succeeded in
capturing the agencies of both the
Standard and Texas oil companies.
Both have been busy the past two
months putting in tanks and erecting
large buildings; the Standard being
located on the lower end of Hills
addition and the Texas company is
located on Shannon hill. Both COM
panies have locations suitable for
the convenient handling of oil from
the cars into the large storage tanks.
The companies will handle gasoline,
distillate and fuel oil quite extern
sively, but they will also handle re-
fined lubricatiug oils-in fact every
thing in the oil department.
Both companies are installing
special plants and will do their own
canning on the ground. They will
run special delivery to any part of
the town and will not cater to the re-
tail trade. In former years the con-
hciNO OCSu " pay
high prices for all classes of oil and
it is quite certain that competition
between these two companies in this
field will be the means of making
prices more reasonable than they
have ever been in the history of Cliff
ton. Old timers remember the time
when consumers had to pay 81 so per
case for gasoline, but during the
past several months it has been re-
duced somewhat. When the CON-
panies open for business there will no
doubt be a substantial decrease in
the present price.
This district is an important oil
consumer and both companies will
secure big business, in fact about
as much as it will be possible for
them to handle.

Grand Lodge officer of EIKs Visits Clifton

in extending a cordial reception to
the distinguished visitor.
Mr.. Windsor is ore of the veteran
newspaper men of this territory, hav-

U. S. Officer Inspects Company F.

Captain A. O. G.. Ord, of the United
States army and Colonel and Inspect
or general of. the Arizona national
guards, arrived in Clifton Sunday
evening to inspect the equipment of
Company f, Clifton. Capt. Lanneau
issued orders for the attendance of
every member of the company Mon
day evening. The response was good
and Armory hall was well filed with
soldier boys when the proper time
arrived. Few of the members were
absent and Captain Ord was well
pleased with the attendance, stating
that it was one of the best turnouts
he had seen since he has been in the
territory.
Captain Ord found the guns and
other property of the government in
excellent condition, considering the
fact that the boys had been in posses
sion of the property for eighteen
months and for long time having no
place to keep their guns except in
their own personal possession. The
boys were given a rigid exa mination
in military tactics and made good to
the satisfaction of the inspecting
officer. He complimented the COM
pauy upon it's handsome building and
the interest that seemed to prevail
among the members of the company,
advising them that they seemed to
have the right idea in drilling regu-
larry. The inspection was witnessed
by Captain Tuthill and several other
members of the Morenci cavalry

EAGLE Residents Want Rural Delivery.

For several years the residents of
upper Eagle, in the neighborhood OF
the Double Circle ranch, haYe been
endeavoring to receive some consid-
Grafton from the postoffiCe depart
ment regarding the establishment of
a postoff1ce and mail service in that
section. During the past few weeks
a petition was circulated and fifty
five names we're secured. This petit
tion has been sent to the postoffice
department at Washington and
should receive proper consideration
which insures the establishing Of
rural delivery, as the rule requires
but fifty signatures. There are more
than sixty people residing in that
vicinity who will t their mail at
the Double Circle l4nch if a post
office is established there and if it is
taken into consideration that that
section is settling up rapidly the
postoffice department is almost GER
tain to grant the request.
Those who are working on the
proposition report that they are re-
ceiving the support of the local
postofice, which may help them to
get the service established. In that
section are represented some of the
biggest cattlemen in the territory,
besides there are quite a few settlers
there who have located homesteads
for farming purposes.

Several candidates who had not
made good their appearance at the
lodge room during or since the insti-
tuition of the local Elks lodge, were
rounded up last night and given
value for their money, at least that
is the report today Mr.. Kuntz, of
Metcalf, was taken from the Met
calf train when it arrived last even
ing and shackles we're used to make
certain that he would not escape.
An extra wild Clifton candidate was
induced to cal! at the Jail where a
prisoner wanted to talk with him and
when the door was opened the lock
was snapped. Upon learning of the
important capture an ERA reporter
called at the Jail to interview the
victim and there found that his OLD
friend Bill Spaw was wond ering what
was going to happen to him before
morning. Bill stated that he was
innocent but that he was unable to
convince those determined Elks that
he would not run away and he had to
remain in the dungeon until it came
time for initiation. Bill has not been
seen since, but it is reported that he
passed through the work in good
shape and will be able to attend to
his business within a few days.
