the smaller places where you see what
the Mormon religion does for human
ity. | don't understand it at all-why
the more enlightened ones among
them stick to it. The teachers in the
schools are nearly all Mormon, or Let
ter Day Saints, they call themselves.
Il have met some very lovely people
who attend the Presbyterian church.
Stanley and Dolly have some very
pleasant acquaintance. Some of them
are newcomers like themselves.
But the mountains are what | like.
They are covered with snow and when
the sun sets and the rays strike the
peaks it is like the stories we read. I
wouldn't have missed seeing them for a
great deal. In some ways it would be
a delightful place to live. The climata
is much warmer in winter thar on the
prairies. The soil is rich, land brings
$500 an acre in the valley. Lots Of
sheep and cattle are raised. There is
a large wooden mill at Paryo where
they have been making so many blan-
kets for the German army. They
make shawls, dress goods and bats for
quilts, etc.
STANLEY will be glad to get out Of
Utah when his job is finished, | think,
unless he is transferred to a locality
where there are more gentiles doing
business. Here your banker, doctor.
butcher, merchant, postmaster and all
are Mormons. There is one gentle on
the city council I noticed in the report
of the city election. There are some
good people among them, but the ma
jority are not. They are opposed to
gentiles and will not turn business
their way. The Dyer Company, build
ing the sugar factories, are gentiles,
but it is Mormon money being used"

JOHNSON FOR MASS MEETING

The Aberdeen News says that Con
gresham Royal c. Johnson OF the Sec
ond South Dakota district has written
Aberdeen friends, defining his position
in regard TO the primary situation in
the state. in which he endorses the
Burke plan for a harmony delegation,
and urges a mass meeting of republi-
cans Of the state as a means of carry
ing out the harmony program and unit
ing the two wings Of the party. Mr..
Johnson's statement is as follows:
Because of the fact that at the last
June primary, held nine months ago,
there were elected from each county,
as direct representatives of the people,
so-called proposal committeeman, TO
propose candidates for congress and
all state Offices, and also elected state
committeeman, and soon after such pri-
mary there was elected a chairman of
the republican committee for each
county, these men should be consulted,
and possibly should be asked to outline
future action, so far as the republican
party in the state is concerned. 1t is
conceded that, by the passage of the
1915 primary act. they are not vested
with legal authority, but, nevertheless,
they are the last elected representa-
tives of the party in the state, and a
conference called by the republican
state chairman and secretary, attended
by all party representatives and all
other republicans who desire to attend,
might clear up many of the legal and
other questions involved, and from
such a conference there might be pro-
NOTED greater harmony in the party in
the state. BY reason of the apparent
interest Of any candidate for public
office at the coming primary. such call,
IL made, should be made by the repre-
sentatives heretofore elected, ard
should be attended and controlled by
them and by The party members who
desire to come. No decisive action
should be taken or expense incurred
until 1t is known whether or not these
representatives and party members
can agree on some method Of proceed

BULLETS FIRED AT RESIDENCE IF
 CARMICHAEL
FusiIaee of Shots Arouse inhabitants On East Side at One O'Clock We'd nesday Morning.

Wednesday morning about 1 o. clock a fusilade of shots were heard on the East Side in the vicinity of the residence Of General Manager Norman Carmichael. Those who heard the shots say they followed in quick succession, and were evidently discharged from an automatic re- volver The shots were fired from the road leading past the Carmichael residence and upon investigation the following morning it was discovered that four of the shots had lodged in Ia small space between two windows where light in the room was burn ing.
 Mr. Carmichael was awakened by the shots and together with the night watchman on duty made an investi- gation but no trace of the marauder could be found.
 The incident has been reported to the officers who are at a loss for a clue of the perpetrator.

THE METAL MARKET

Copper is firmer and the market is more active. For June, July and August deliveries lake is 27 1-4 to 27 1-2 cents and electrolytic is 27 IS to 27 3-S cents a pound. Spot cop per is practically unobtainable at around 2S cents. Both foreign and domestic. consumers have been in the market making purchases this week and there are inquiries for some substantial amounts of copper. The foreign visible supply is continuing to decrease and this has brought about an advance of e22 per ton recently in the price of standard copper. Electrolytic is still selling in Lndon at e136, equivalent to 2s 90 cents per pound.
 The peace talk which has been cir culated so generally of late to de- press the stock market appears to have had no effect whatver on cop per. Consumers do not need to be told that there is absolutely nothing in these peace rumors, for they are receiving requests every week to bid on specifications for munitions and other war supplies. There is still every prospect that the European war will continue at least year and possibly three years longer and meanwhile it is reasonably certain that the price of copper will remain abnormally high.

PR|MARY TICKETS NOMINATED BY
 TWO PARTIES
Republicans Will Contest With Demo- crats For Street Supervisor and Seats in the Town Council

The primary election in the Town of Clifton, which will be held on April 21st, has resolved itself into contest among the Democrats over the nomi- nation for Town Clerk, Town Marshal and Street Supervisor.
 At the time of going to press the Republican party had filed nomination papers for members of the Town Council and Street Supervisor only, leaving the office of Town Clerk and Town Marshal vacant.
 The Socialist party failed to make any, nominations and will not have a ticket in the primary election.
 In the democratic party primary nomination petitions have been filed for members of the Town Council, seven in number, as required by law. The nominees of the democratic party for the Board of Aldermen consist of Mrs. Joe Deck, Arthur Slaughter, W. c. Young, Walter Tappin, ST., Thos. Sidebotham, Frank Springer, and O. J. Cotey.
 In the Democratic primary for Street Supervisor several candidates have entered the race for the nomi- nation including H. Halter, w. R. Hutchins, B. F. Bowman, B. Van dercook, W. J. Mcdowell, Richard Young. For Town Marshal the race in the primaries is between H. P. Chilson and C.. l.. Crawford. For the position of Town Clerk Mat Dan- enhauer is opposed for the democratic nomination by E. R. Shortridge.
 On Primary day the Republicans will ballot for J. B. Penn, as the nominee for Street Supervisor and F. Backstein, J. c. Gatti, H. Hill, Richard Stephens and George Reitzer for the Town Council.
 On Friday evening the total regis tration for the primary election had reached a total of 63S. Of this num- Der practically two-thirds are demo- crats. Approximately twenty So- cialists have come forward and regis tered their party utilization regardless of the fact that the Socialists have no ticket in the primary election. The Republicans registered number approximately one hundred and fifty.
 Some voters who registered as non-partisan and independent, when they learned that they could not vote in the primary, returned to the office of the Town Clerk and declared their utilization with the Democratic party in order to vote in the Democratic primary.
 It is admitted on all sides that both the Democrats and Republicans have put forward a representative ticket of good citizens for Aldermen. The nomination by the Democrats of Mrs. Jos. Deck, President of the Cliff ton Woman's Club, is a recognition by that party that the women of Clifton are entitled to a voice in Town af- fairs.

 pounds per month, soon to be in creased to 1O,OOO,OOO, and with two units added to it's mill will, within a few months, be able to produce more than 11,000,000 pounds per month.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The war department informed Senator Ashurst that it would be illegal to furnish 5000 rifles to Arizona citi- zens in accordance with Gov. Hunts request.
 Secretary Baker telegraphed Gov. Hunt as follows: Tn the present panicky state of mind of citizens along the border I do not think arms should be placed in the hands of any except those under the severest discipline. The presence of armed citizens would be liable to result in some unfor- tunate incident precipitating the very trouble we wish to avoid. Gen.

AR|Z STATE GUARD ]. CRITICISED BY us.
 OFFICIALS
Adjutant General Harris Given Severe
 Criticism as an Incompetent By Those Officers Who Have Received
 Their Dismissal.

PHOENIX, March 2S.-That Col. Charles w. Harris, adjutant general of hte Arizona National Guard, is in- competent, and is using that organf- zation to further the political ambi- tions of himself and Governor Hunt, is the charge made today by deposed officers of the guard.
 The Arizona guard has been in serious way for some time. Since Harris was appointed by Hunt there has been nothing but trouble and dis satisfaction. Conditions finally be- came so bad that Hunt asked the war department to detail a regular army captain to take charge Captain Cromwell Stacey was sent here fol- lowing that request. He was in charge of the guard for a year, and brought it up to high standard of efficiency. As soon as he turned his back to Harris, things became worse. Governor Becomes Alarmed. | With the approaching inspection, Hunt became alarmed and asked the war department to have Stacey again placed in charge. The request was re- fused, the reason being that in case the companies did not pass Stacey would be to blame.
 | officers stated that because he oppos- ed Hunt and Harris he was put on the unassigned list. The Hay bill which will probably pass in a few days will give militia officers a good sized salary.
 Is Menace to Guard.
 Unless things take a decided change within a short time, and Harris is de- posed, Arizona will have no national guard. 1,-
 Harris told local officers that they were to ignore any suggestions com ing from Stacey, as he (Harris) was in charge of affairs.
 In reply to communication from Governor Hunt, Assistant Secretary of War, Breckenridge, stated that Harris attitude was one of poorly yelled hostility Both Breckenridge and former Secretary Garrison have previously demanded Harris removal Garrison saying in his letter that Harris was inefficient from federal viewpoint"

Morenci demo crats are enthusiastic in their support of Hoffman, who during his long ser vice as a peace officer in this precinct has proven himself a fearless and i'm partial officer who stands first, last and all the time for the enforcement of law and order regardless of who the offender may be. MT. Hoffman has been on the firing line, as 1t were, for the past four years, without a days vacation. MT. Hoffman is no stranger to the people of Greenlee county and is particularly well known among the cattlemen and farmers in the outlying districts as well as enjoying wide circle of friends in the Clifton-Morenci dis trict who have encouraged MT. Hoff- man to enter the race.
