 Grover Cleveland earned the sin cere gratitude of his countrymen, and justified recurring memorial occasions like the one in which we are taking part. He was great President, not because he was a brilliant orator, not because he was a statesman of pro- found learning, but because he was patriot with the highest sence of pub lie duty, because he was a statesman of clear perceptions, of the utmost courage Of his convictions and of great plainness of speech; because he was a man of the highest character, father and husband of the best type, and because throughout his political life he showed those rugged virtues Of the public servant and citizen, the emulation of which by those who fol- low him will render progress of our political life toward better things certainty"

 The Criterion is to exchange with some European school papers, and soon papers from all over the conti- nent may be expected. Most of these papers, though largely in foreign lan- guages, have English departments managed by the students in English at the schools.
 Plans have been mapped out where by the Athletic Association of the school may make money enough dur ing the next year to carry on athletics much more extensively. In other schools the associations have their own athletic fields, and have interest so keyed up in sports that 10000 peo- pie or more will turn out to see a good football game. Because of the lack of finances the local management has had to confine it's fields of work. A radical change, however, may be expected next season.
 The next issue of the Criterion will be the Easter number and special ef.- forts are being made to have it the best yet.

WINDMILL DESTROYED
 BY THE STORM

Of the large amount of damage done by the heavy wind and rain of Friday, probably the most serious single loss was to the property of Lloyd C. Gris- com. On his property was a large windmill, the highest of any of the similar structures in the town, which was blown down and is a total wreck. This beside the money loss, is the occasion of much inconvenience to many of the residents of the vicin- ity of the Griscom home, as it was the sole water supply in the neigh horhood. Hezekiah Banks and Miss Angnes Murray are among those without water as a result of the dam aged windmill

Duncan Bridge Finished

The steel work Of the Duncan
bridge across the Gila river has
been finished. Superintendent
White of the Ell Paso Bridge &
Iron Company put on the finish
ing touches Monday, notified the
Board of Supervisors that it was
ready for inspection and accept
ance; on Tuesday the Board, rep
resented by Messrs. Campbell
and Dunn, came down, inspected
it and returned to Clifton to for
mulate a report. Superintendent
Await who has been on the Job
closely says there is no question
but what the bridge will be ac-
cepted and that the work is one
of the best pieces Of material
and construction in Arizona.
The steel structure is 400 feet
long, the woodwork on each end
totals about 400 feet and there is
yet to be erected about 200 feet
more making a grand total of
nearly 1000 feet. The lastswork
will be done by the Board of
Supervisors as it is additional
from the original plans and con-
tract by the Bridge Company.
1t will be some time before the
bridge is open to travel owing to
the unfinished approaches, but
when completed the Duncan
bridge will be a credit to Green
lee County and a monument to
the Gila Valley.

Waste, Now Used

The tons and tons of smooth,
almost white, rock that have
lined the banks of the northern
California streams for years IS
the result Of the operations Ct
mining dredgers, and that ha
been considered an obstructi n
to agriculture, will no longer he
such an impediment. Within
recent years uses have been found
for this rock, formerly considered
waste, and it has a real comm er-
cial value. The Southern Pacific
Company in it's double track work
and in the usual course of main
tenance is using many tons of
this rock.
For years it has been piled
high on the banks of the rivers
and smaller streams. 1t was use
less for levee works and was pro
nounced a detriment to the coun-
ty. Now the ordinary sized
rocks about the size of a boys
hand-are used for track ballast
without any crushing. The larg-
er boulders are broken into both
ballast and gravel. Many tons
of this same rock have also been
used by the Southern Pacific in
preparing the concrete for its
new bridges across the Sacra-
mento and American rivers.
