On Wednesday evening of this week the spacious dining room of the Cliff ton hotel was the scene of farewell reception that will long remain in the memories of forty pioneer residents of the Clifton-Morenci district, Col Mark J. Egan, being the guest of hon or The forty friends assembled at the hotel, selected a committee to go to the COlonel'S residence and secure his presence. Colonel Egan was sur prised to receive such summons but when informed that the old tim CTS wanted to see him, as usual, he obeyed the order.
 The ColoneTs heart overf1owed with joy when Hon. Ben NJ. Craw ford chairman, announced that the pioneers had gathered for the pur- pose of doing honor to Col. Mark J. Egan, a poineer resident of Clifton, who had for thirty years rendered valuable services in the upbuilding of this little city, and who had always been a most faithful and trusted friend
 It was indeed an old timers meet ing, for during the course of the even ing old time events were related that made all hearts glad. Many times did Colonel Egan's name come in for 4 Hon. James Colquhoun and John G. Hopkins were absent members, their names were frequently mentioned in connection with the development of this district.
 Than Colonel Mark J. Egan there is no pioneer who deserves more praise for his learned advice and generous hospitality, which was always extend ed to his employers and friends, and especially was he always popular with the little folks. who had man. good times through the generous hos pitality of the Colonel
 Colonel Egan was, for thirty years, chief counsel for the Arizona Copper Company and during this time ren- dered most valuable services to his employers, and it was indeed the breaking of a golden link when the Colonel rendered his resignation, with the explanation that he had arrived at the ripe age when all faithful ser wants must take rest.
 The annuncement that Colonel Egan was to leave Clifton saddened the hearts of all pioneers, and though the old boys present at the farewell reception were happy set, the reali- zaJiOn that the Colonel was soon to

EAGLE BALL A SUCCESS-The dance given by the Clifton Aerie No. 1890, l. O. O. F., on the evening of the 4th at Prettyman's hall was a grand success. The commodious auditorium was congested with the merry makers, there being something over 100 couple on the floor, and the spirit of the day was manifested by the good natured throng. The delightful music, which was furnished by Adams orchestra, carried everyone with it and the pro- gram was all too short for the most of the dancers. The refreshments al so were delicious and helped in keep ing the crowd cool and in a happy mood Taken altogether the ball was huge success and adds one more feather in the cap of the Eagles as roy al entertainers. The Eagle lodge is one of the largest and strongest or ganizations in Clifton and when they attempt a social function the people know that they will get their money $ worth.

A GOOD START-On Wednesday afternoon of this week Judge Leonard tried his first case in the justice court and from the criterion thus far es- tablished he promises to make good. A Mexican was tried for carrying a gun and after hearing all the eviden- ce the judge calmly handed him $50 or 50 days. In default of the necesS- ary amount the gun-toter is cogitating upon his misfortune in the carcel. A few more lessons of this kind and the promiscuous carrying of guns and other weapons among the Mexican population will be greatly lessened. The law abiding citizens of Clifton earnestly hope that the judge will con- tinue the good work.

the failure to get the regular govern

available. for. their use, 1t ONE too

The annual appropriation by the

Owing to the lack of funds because
of the failure of the government to
provide the usual appropriation, the
North Dakota national guard could
not go into joint maneuvers with the
regular army at Sparta, Wis. and the
annual camp lasted only six days in
stead of ten days, or two weeks, as
is usual.

COMMITTEE FBVORS
SCANDINAVIAN COURSE

The Scandinavian language will
probably be added to the regular high
school curriculum when the fall term
opens. The question has been before
the board of education for some time.
and will come UP at the regular
monthly meeting Monday night for
final settlement.
The question is now in the hands
Of a special committee of the board,
and, according to members Of the
committee the subject will he includ-
ed in the high school course. The
committee will probably hold a meet
ing before the board meets, when it
will make final arrangements for re-
porting at Monday nights session.
The question Of making the study
of the Scandinavian language an OPP
tional subject in the high school was
taken up early in the Year by a num-
Der of the leading Sc~andinavians OF
the city. After making a thorough
investigation, it was found that twen-
ty-five per cent of the entire enroll
ment in the school was of Scandina-
Wan descent. This and other facts in
connection with the question were
submitted to the board. after which
the matter was left to a special COM
mittee for further Investigation. This
committee is composed of Don Nc
Donald, Nose Norman. A. s. Burrows,
DR.. Westeen. L. T.. BirdZell and Sam
uel Torgerson.

No Age Limit Recognized in
the Grand Forks
Institution.

In the eyes of Grand Forks Y. w
c. A. officials, girls are girls, no matter
what their age may be. This vas the
jist of a statement made his morning
by Miss Media Garrigues. assistant sec
rotary and physical director of the 10.
cal institution. after she heard the re.
port that at the Chicago Y. w. c. A
the directors have decided to make
twenty-five years the dead line"
call women are girls, with u.s."
said Miss Garigues. "Of course. we
try to help the young girls. es-
pecially, but 1t is the women of
the world that we're trying to
help. There is no limit; all wom-
en- are eligible"
Miss Garrigues explained that the
Chicago Y. w. C. A. was independent
from the National Young Women's
Christian association. This in all
probability accounts for the action of
the directors in making twenty-five
years the limit, she said.
