Everytlme we see something about
the beautiful home life of Senator
Lorrimer, how blameless he is in his
habits and how regularly he goes to
church, we have faint recollection
that at sometime or other we heard
OF man who never smoked, drank or
gambled and never missed going to
Sunday School or church, who COM
mitted a crime. 1t seems like he was
cashier of a bank and departed with
the money or was he trusted en-
ployee and used his employers money
without leave.

Valuation of Personal Property.

The assessors of personal property
are now calling on the people of High
land county. 1t is most important
that they list all the personal property
In this county and at fair valuation.
They have received instructions from
both the state and county auditor in
which their duties were plainly point
ed out to them. If they do their duty
they have no discretion. They must
list property at its full value. Every
honest citizen will give. in all Of his
property. Every man should bear his
proportionate share of the expense Of
conducting public affairs. The result
can only be secured by the citizens Co
operating with the assessors. 1t takes
a certain amount OF money to run this
county. If everyone will give in their
property at its full valuesno one will
be hurt. When the assessor comes to
see you don't think that your nelghbor
won't give in his property at its full
value and try TO hide lot of yours
and put absurd values on what you do
give in, and thus perjury yourself that
1t is the true value Of your property.
II the proper spirit is shown by the
people of the county the personal
property duplicate will be greatly in
creased and the amount OF taxes paid
will be no larger than heretofore.
If we will be honest with tn, asses
sor it will be easier for him and better
for us.

The Greenfield Republican of last
week had half column article in
which it went into rhapsodies over
that town. The claim was made that
it was a "spotless town" that it's
people led blameless lives; that crime
was almost unknown and that the
home life of it's people was "a thing
of beauty and Joy forever" While
far be it from us to cast any asperslons
or make any invidious comparisons,
an examination of the criminal rec.
ords of this county will show that in
the last few years about half of the
criminal cases In this county have
come from Greenfield. We also noticed
that the only cases filed in the Com
mon Pleas Court In the last week were
two divorce suits from Greenfield.

We noticed in the Ohio State Jour
nal Of Tuesday where man got a
license to marry girl he had never
seen and who had never heard of him.
He was taken before the probate judge
and adjudged insane and sent to the
asylum. 1t may be that he was crazy
but we have known instances when
we would have had higher regard for
the intelligence and sanity of man
if we had know he had never seen and
knew nothing of the woman he got a
license to marry.

While the hollow at the foot of the
High street hill would hardly cause a
landscape gardener any pleasure, 1t
does look a little better than 1T did
week ago The street commissioner
did get some of the tin cans rusty
buckets, bottles, etc, little farther
back from the street. For this slight
improvement we are very thankful.
But we claim this is not proper place
todump the refuse and filth OF the
town and that this should be prohib-
tied by the board of health. The peo-
pie who live in that section of the
town consider that it is respectable
place TO live, want 1t to look attract
i've and feel that they are deserving Of
some consideration. Not only SHOULD
this hollow be abolished as dumping
place for rubbish andlfilth of the town,
but from sanitary standpoint earth
should be hauled and dumped over
the unsightly and unhealthful mess
already dumped there.

The picnic given under the auspi-
ces of the local Odd Fellows Lodge
Jwo miles above Coranado station,
IN the GIla river, Tuesday May 30,

of the day was fish barbecue pre-
pared under the directionsot Mr.. Par

of northern California, was the prin-
cipal dish on the menu. There was
an abundance of ice cream and cake
Tor both old and young. The picnic

THE METAL MARKET

GEO. L. WALKER, in his Weekly
Copper Letter last week says:
Copper is strong and more active.
Lake is l2E cents and electrolytic l2g
cents pound. Domestic consume RS
have bought quite freely this week,
and there has been a renewal of buy
ing by foreign interests. Exports
promise to be larger in May than any
one of the past several months.
There is every prospect of consi-
derable revival Of business in this
country soon, in the event of which
there promises to be a rapid shrink
age in the worlds surplus supplies of
copper.
As matters now stand there cannot
fail to be continuing improvement in
the metal situation. There is good
prospect now that the so-called
curtailment agreement, which ex
pires by limitation ABOUT two months
hence, viii be renewed fo- another
year. Negotiations to this end are
said to be in progress at present. 1t
is understood, also, that American
copper producers are indeavoring to
protect themselves against one an
other in he matter of selling for
export If they can arrange to pre-
vent the foreigner from buying cop
per at lower average price than
American consumers pay they will
thereby do the whole trade in th S
country an immense service.
Copper is selling too low. At its
present price it should 90 mu;h MOI e
largely into general use. Galva Iized
iron ia still being consume heavily
in building operations, due to the fact
hat builders have not been educated
as to the greater value of copper.
The latter cost little more as raw
material, but the labor cost, which
is large item, is practically the
same. Copper roofs and cornices will
last as long as the building, while
galva nized iron has to be renewed
frequently, making the ultimate cost
of the latter by far the greater.
When a building is torn down its
owner must pay to have the galva-
nized iron carted away, but he can
sell his discarded sheet copper on the
ground at eight or nine cents a
pound. Copper producing interests
would do well to organize a publicity
bureau and educate the building
I rade.

MERCHANTS ENTER PROTEST.
Reductions In Express Rates From Kan
saS On Produce and Poultry
Does Not Apply Here.

Clifton and Morenci mercha nts,
who handle produce, including poul-
try. butter, cheese and eggs, have
been bombarding J. S. Mills, superfn-
tendent of Wells Fargo traffic de-
partment at Los Angeles, with tele-
grains this week, urging upon that Of
fetal the addition of Clifton and Mo
renci to the list of Arizona towns
which according to a circular recent
ly issued by Wells Fargo, will receive
a reduced rate on produce shipments
from Kansas points.
Why the reduction in rates was not
made to apply to Clifton and Moren'
is what our local merchants want to
know. The decrease in rates is ad
vertised to take effect on June 20
The towns in Arizona named in tn
circular to receive the reduced rates
are Adamanda, Ash Fork, Aztec,
Bellemont, Benson, Bisbee, Bowie,
Canyon Diablo, Casa Grande, Cham

The rate on produce from Kansas
points to Clifton aud Moreuci has not
been changed and it is difficult TO un
derstaud why these important points
have been omitted. Ia addition to
the above apparent discrimination,
Wells, Fargo q Co. maintains no de-
delivery service in either Clifton or
Morenci. The claims of the Clifton
merchants have been presented to
the proper officers of Wells Fargo &
Co. IN the event. these claims are
not favorably, considered the matter
will be laid before the railroad com
mission at Phoenix.
The percentage of reduction in ex
press rates which-will be enjoyed bv
other towns in Arizona after June
10th will be approximately 20 per ct
for dressed poultry and II per cent
for butter, cheese and eggs.

A Few Hot Weather Health Hints.
Swat the fly.

Swat the fly.
Don't make a junkshop of your
stomach. a glass of pure milk with
bread and butter, an egg and a dish
of fruit costing about 25c is a much
better meal for the average person
than a big sirloin steak, which with
trimmings costs several times as
much.
Swat the fly.
Disease germs kill more than half
the human race. Flies carry germs.
Take another swat at the Hy.
The human traveller who permits
the porter to brush his dust and dirt
into the faces and promiscuously on o
the persons of his fellow travellers is
akin to the fly who wipes his feet on
our food.
Swat that fly again.
And now that it is about the begin
ming of the rainy season it should be
the pleasure as we'll as the duty of
are no holes about their premises
which will retain water and encourage
the breeding of the mosquito pests.
Swat the fly again.
Keep you milk receptacles absolute
ly clean and protect them from flies,
cats and dogs.
Avoid stimuli ting drinks. A glass of
buttermilk will do you more good in
hot weather than any alcoholic drink.
Take final swat at the fly. Don't

The annual disbursements, it will
be seen, have doubled in the past six
years, and the aggregate amount paid
during the period in question was
equivalent to almost twice the par
value of all the common stock out
standing. Nor does this convey an
entirely adequate idea of the com
pany's stupendous profits, tor while
the rate of dividends paid last year
on the common stock was 40 per cent.
the surplus which was availa BILE for
dividends was equivalent to more
than 81 per cent, after deducting the
amount necessary to pay dividends
on the preferred stock.
The manner in which the original
investment in the tobacco industry
has increased in value as a result of
consolidation and monopoly is one of
the most interesting ories of modern
industrial history. AS far back only
as 1896 the com mon stock of the old
American Tobacco Co. par value $50
one who had bought 100 shares of it
would have paid $3.50. Three years
later the purchaser would have re-
ceived 100 shares more as a stock
dividend, and in the event that he
had held his stock until the formation
of the present company in 1864 he
would have received for his 200
shares, par value $50, 100 shares Of
new American Tobacco common
stock, par value 800 At prevailing
market prices the latter would nov
be worth about $50 900, indicating the
neat profit OF SAT ,450, or 1850 per cent
on the inve stment of 1896, while in
the meanwhile, of course, the pur-
chaser would have been receiving the
enormous annual income of from but
little less than 100 to almost 200 per
cent on his original cost Investment.
In this connection it is interesting
to learn that while the use of snuff
by the fashionable classes has gone
out of vogue, the most importa Mt sub
Sluldry OI the lOodCcO iIuSt II lue
American Snuff Co, which has paid
dividends aggregating 81 per cent on
its common stock during the past six
years, and last year alone paid no
less than 27 per cent. These large
profits have been made possible. not
only by the substantial price charged
by the trust in its retail stores, but
also by the steady increase in the
consumption of SNUFF. The output
last year was approximately 30 600 900
pounds, as compared with $4,000, 600
pounds in 1900, and of the former
amount the trust IS believed to have
controlled no less than 81 or 90 per
cent.

A Wall Street Deal.

Did you see "A Wall Street Deal
last Monday evening. If lot you
missed the best amateur performance
ever given in Clifton. The show was
a treat and splendid evenings en-
tertainment.
Mr.. Gordon Matthews, who was re-
sponslble for the staging of the show,
deserves praise Tor producing the
play in such d creditable manner
takes usually so tiresome in an anna
teur show; it showed plainly that
hard work aud excellent coaching
had been done by Mr.. Matthews. AS
a commedian he displayed his ability
to advantage as Dennis Blossom.
Particular credit is due Miss F4os
sic Whipp'e for her excellent work
as Cas'la Rowland, an actress. Miss
Whipple was perfectly ar home on
the stage and went through her va
rious scenes with charm and grace
that was most becoming. Herr song,
inject Me Tonight In Dreamland, -
in the second act was musical treat
and well deserved the storm of APP
pl4use which it brought forth.
Arthur Smith scored an instant hit
as McGinnIs Bloom and brought many
a hearty laugh by his droll wit.
Leland Whipple also did splendid
work as Will Cheatham, proba bly, the
longest part in the play.
Virgil Weiss was a fierce charac-
ter as Kofioff, a Russian Nlhilist, and
was armed TO the teeth with ASS,
knives and black whiskers.
Allan Jones was detective with
fund of knowledge that would shame
the Encyclopedia Britannica. Stan
ley Beck was the proverbial slow mo-
wing office BOY and was excellent.
Doris Cotey and Emma Springer old
very we'll in the comparatively small
parts of Mrs. Cheatham and Belinda
Belle respectively. We must not for
get Don Brutinel who was a blushine
hard working and well meaning po-
liceman AMI a tray Juggling waiter.
If Wall Street Deal is repeated
in the near future and you like to
laugh, be sure and go to see it.

The Profits of a Trut.

In view of the fact that the United
States Supreme Court has handed
down a decision in the American
Tobacco case last week, it is
interesting to note the extraordinary
degree of prosperity which the de-
tendant corporation has enjoyed in
recent years. This is strikiugly
brought out by the company's divi-
den1 payments on its common stock.
since 1905, which are shown in the
following table:
