CITIZENS MAKING
ARRANGEMENTS
FORLAbOR DAY
Mass. Meeting of Clifton Citizens At
Library Hall Is Unanimous In
Opinion That Clifton Should
Celebrate Labor Day.

A large number of Clifton citizens
met at Library Hall last Monday
night, July 2S, to discuss plans for
the celebration to be held here Labor
Day, September 1.
Every attendant was of the be-
lief that Clifton would honor the day
in a manner never before attempted
/ in the town. Many suggestions were
made concerning the part to be play
ed by the various organization of the
town, although nothing definitely was
decided with the exception of the ap-
pointing of the various committees
That the laboring men of the town
are determined to make of the ce1e-
bration a success was evidenced by
the statements of many of them to
the effect that they would be willing
to donate to the finance committee
the amount of a full days salary.
However no action was taken on
this matter, the finance committee,
as all other committees, deciding to
render a report at the next meeting,
which will be at the Library Hall
next Monday night, August 4. At
the meeting last Monday night, Mr..
Whitacre presided as chairman, and
Mr.. Elder as secretary.
Following is a list of the commit
teemen appointed last Monday night:
Finance C. NJ. Whitacre, Carl
Schade, c. Sharp, Sam Elder, Yelton
Parade-C. Dagnan, G. L.. Coffee,
Hamilton.
Literary-C. Sharp, Thos. Carroll,
w. Patterson, Robert Bliss.
Sports-James Hagan, o. A. Ris-
don.
The committeeman are busily en-
gagged in perfecting plans for their
various parts, and it is expected that
the next meeting will witness rapid
accOmplishme ent of arrangements.

Terrific Explosion Completely Wrecks
Church Where Priest Was Sleep
ing, and AWakens Whole
Town With Tremendous
Conclusion.

! The Catholic church at Morenci
was blown into kindling wood Friday
night, August 2, about a m.
The explosion was of such force
that the whole town was awakened
from sleep, many thinking that their
| city was destroyed by an earthquake.
The Catholic priest, Reverend
Father Cole, was sleeping in the
rear end of the church, in an ante
room, and by what seemed to be a
miracle, escaped without an injury.
The flooring of the building was
torn into splinters, every seat was
torn from its fastenings. All the
beautiful Statuary was ruined, the
fine church organ wrecked, and all
that is left of the building is a por-
ton of the walls.
The seats were driven through the
ceiling, on through the roof, COM
pletely destroying both, and then
dropped back into the building a
total loss, being torn into shapeiess
kindling. 1t is conjectured that the
explosive was placed near the CEN
ter of the building, under the floor,
as the rear end of the church, where
the priest was sleeping, escaped with
less total destruction than did the
other parts of the church. The
amount of explosive used must have
been great, as the concussion was
with lis frIce. The priest emerecd
uninjured Immediately after the
explosion, he ran to Judge Lally's

CLIFTON FIRE BOYS
HOLD LIVELY
SMOKER
jolly Time Is Had by Clifton Hose
Teams At Smoker Saturday
Night. Oratorical Efforts
Are lntermngIed With
Stunts in Athletic
Field.

In pursuance of a call from theil
chiefs, the members of the four Cliff
ton hose teams met at Eagles Hal
Saturday night, July %, where amid
scenes of jollity and merriment, g
decision was reached that the foul
teams participate in the Labor Day
celebration to be held in Clifton or
September 1.
Immediately after assembling, the
boys were entertained with piano Sc
lections splendidly rendered by Tom
Sidebotham, Jr., son of Mr.. Thos
Sidebotham, one of the enthusiastic
members of the North Clifton com
pany. Then in clarion tones Mr..
Carl Schade, the genial captain of
the Hills Addition team, commanded
the members presence at the rear of
the hall, where, he announced they
would be permitted to gaze upon a
picture that was, for the first time,
placed on view in Clifton. This
scene was hugely admired by every
spectator, especially the blue rib
.bons'' with which it was decorated.
After an extended gaze at this pano-
rama came the call to the feast,
which was spread upon long tables,
running the length of the building
Here it is well to speak of the good
work of the entertainment commit
tee, which was composed of Messrs.
Carl Schade, ]. G. Gaines and James
Hagan. The good work of these
gentlemen reached eliminating
point in the refreshments served
that night. 1t is highly probable
that the good cheer arranged by
these committeeman was to a great
extent responsible for the quality and
flavor of the speeches that were
made throughout the feast, it being
remarked that never before had the
of f1requenching been so
oratorical.
The first speech on the program
was delivered by Mayor Fraser, who
is known as the father of the fire
boys. Mayor Fraser's speech dealt
with the necessity of a harmonious
union among the members of the Cliff
ton teams, praising the friendly riv-
airy of hose races, and reminding
them of their works Importance to
his incumbency of his
present office, Mayor Fraser has been
lntiring in his efforts to encourage
and assist, in every possible way, |

Fire Chief Coffee also. spoke, his
.heme being a discussion of the |
necessity of thorough training on the /
part of the hose teams, in order to
each the highest efficiency. Mr. |
Coffee by his remarks showed a deer
rterest in the results to be obtained !
~ Il proper management of a fire
department.
Following the speech of Mayor
Fraser, came eloquent efforts from
he captains of the four teams. Mr..
Schade was given this subject:
How to drive an auto fire truck" it
;eemingly being the prevailing opin-
on that so enthusiastic an automo-
,ilist as Mr.. Schade would properly
landle such a subject. But Mr.

Mapping Routes for Chase Creek
Sewer.

City Engineer H. Ogle Tunis and
Street Commissioner Tyler are engag-
ed in mapping routes for the location
of the contemplated sewerage system
for Chase Creek. Also they are
making list of all property owners
in the district to be affected, which
will include all of what is known as
the San Francisco Townsite, also the
A. c. Co. property by the main store,
drug store, general office and the
new depot. The map now in course
of construction will show the location
of all mains and laterals.
Engineer Tunis also states that an
extensive plan of grading will soon
begin in the Turner Avenue section
of Hills Flat Also in this section
several concrete culverts will be in
stalled, in addition to the paving of
some of the alleys, the object being
to properly drain storm waters, which
have been causing Inconvenience in
that section of town.

County Surveyor, runis Returns.

County Surveyor H Ogle Tunis
returned last Sunday, July q. from a
delightful trip to points along the
Atlantic coast, with Norfolk, Vir-
ginia, as his objective point, his
father, mother, and other relatives
living there. Mr.. Tunis travelled by
the Rock Island Railway from Ell
Paso to Chicago, from Chicago going
to Washington, D. c., passing through
some of the most fertile agricultural
regions of the nation. Mr.. Tunis
reports that crops promise a splendid
harvest in all states through which
he passed. At Washington he stay
ed some time, viewing the points of
interest in the nations capital. At
his old home, which he had not Wis
tied for five years, he thoroughly
enjoyed the days. This region is
known as the Eastern Shore, which
claims the distinction of being the
native place of Hon. Ben Crawford,
clerk of Green1ee's Superior court.
Mr. Tunis was accompanied to Cliff
ton by his cousin, Chas. w .Tunis,
who will reside here, probably en-
gaging in mining engineering, having
studied that line at the University of
North Carolina.
