ID DUMP BOOZE IN
 CREEK
Five Hundred Gallons of .contrabaHd Doomed to Destruction. Booze Will be Wasted to Accommodate Prison CTS in County Jail.

Seven thousand dollars worth of con traband will gurgle it's merry way down Pinal creek next week when in the neighborhood of 500 gallons of as- sorted liquors are destroyed by Sher- if Frank Haynes. Superior Judge W. G. Shute is expected to issue an order authorizing the destruction of the morning after inducer within a day or so in order that the space it occupies in the county jail may be util- ized for cell room.
 The collection now held by the sher- if represents the accumulation of two years and has been held for this length of time owing to the lack of authority to dispose of it. Under the provisions of the constitutional amend ment adopted at the recent election and declared operative Friday night by gabernatorial proclamation, SUD- erior judges are now vested with the power to make disposition of the con fiscated stores
 Prompt action will be taken in the matter, as the lower floor of the coun- ty jail is now entirely devoted to the storage of the intoxicant, a fact which works hardship on the prisoners and officers alike owing to the number of in hates confined in the upper tiers The available quarters have become more cramped under the steady in flux of prisoners until the housing of the guests at the Hotel de Haynes has assumed the proportions of a crisis.
 One sad feature of the affair lies in the fact that a good bit of the liquor is to be destroyed needlessly. That which was confiscated by the officers from the express and freight offices of the district, prior to the so-called ''per- sonal use'' ruling could have been re- plevined by the owners when. the fed eral court upheld the Shute decision. Unfortunately, it is now too late to in stitute such action Arizona Record

BOND ISSUE UP FOR VOTE 0N JAN.
 FIFTEENTH
Bond Issue of s16o,ooo.oo Will Be Voted on by Taxpayers of the Town of Clifton on January 18th.

At the regular session of the town council on Monday night it was decid- ed by the city fathers to call an cleo tion on January 18th for the purpose of voting on bonding the town in the sum of $160,000, the money to be used for Improvements, of which the town is sadly in need The question of car rying on the said improvements has been discussed at length for several months by the city administration, the only drawback being the necessary funds with which to carry on the work. After carefully estimating the cost of the work, it is thought that the above sum will be adequate for all purposes, and it is to be hoped that the taxpayers of the town will rise to the occasion and vote favorably on the proposition.
 The contemplated improvements are not luxury but vital necessity eral years They will not only be pie of today but to the generations to come. The bonds will be issued for the purpose of acquiring funds for the construction and reconstruction of river walls, the construction of bridges and the reconstruction of roads and highways in the town.
 Clifton is assuming metropolitan as- poets rapidly, and while it may never equal in size the larger cities of Ari- zona, business conditions will con- tinue to be such that without the improvements enumerated a serious handicap will be suffered by all lines of industry Perhaps the most need ed of all are the two bridges, one across the river in town in place of the old one which has served it's usefulness and one directly below the railroad bridge in South Clifton. Traffic in Clifton has assumed such proportions that these Improvements should be of primary consideration. In years past the present wagon bridge across the Frisco river was adequate to the needs of the travel traffic and the hundreds of automo- taxes the efficiency of the present structure It is almost a daily oc- currence to see a string of autos and vehicles held up at either end of the br2dge awaiting their turn to cross and thus delaying business to a con siderable extent. At this point a wide bridge with side walks on either side is an absolute necessity and one of the crying needs of the town. The present structure has been unsafe for some time and it's removal would eventually be but a matter of a short time.
 The sewerage system and road con struction are also badly needed and with-the favorable yete of the taxpay-a CTS on the question next month we hope to see them become realities. The town has no existing indebtedness and has taxable property amounting in value to $5.S29, ,SQS ,as and many towns in the country of less wealth and size are alive to their needs and do not hesitate to bond themselves in order to leave to posterity the fruits of their efforts along the line of civic better ment and improvement 2.
 The bonds are to bear date of Feb ruary l, 1917, and are to mature at the rate of $S,000 year to and includ ing the year 1896, and shall bear in- terest at the rate of per cent pay able semi-annually.

Live Ghost Receives Jolt

Live Ghost Receives Jolt
 For some time past Mexican resi-
 dents in the vicinity of the A. c. saw mill have been terroized by what was thought to have been a ghost. The apparition was seen only at night and is said to have been dressed in white, appearing alternately as man and wcman. A stop was however put on the activities of the so-called ghost on Sunday night when the prowler at tempted to hold up a Mexican who was returning to his home on the hill. The ghost" jumped out from behind a pile of lumber and confronted the Mexican who proceeded to get busy with six-shooter and fire in the general direction of the hold up. Ap- none of the shots took ef- feet in the ghostly anatomy but they served effectively in making him beat it at a fast clip and at latest reports he is still running and his identity has not been discovered. The resi- dents of that section are now living in peace.

Resears of All Descriptions-

|
 For the past week or so Clifton has
 been overrun with beggars, several Jf whom to all appearances were badly crippled and who played the sympa- | thy gag for all it was worth. In most
 cases they were successful and reap
 ed rich reward from the unsuspect-
 ing philanthropists. All of them
 were fakes and many individuals
 lossened up considerably after listen
 ing to their pitiful plea for aims
 One instance of unmerited charity
 was witnessed by one of those who
 fell for the game. In this case the man appeared to be seriously crip-
 pied. his right hand being useless
 and having but very little use of his
 legs. After collecting a pocketful of shekels he repaired to a bootlegging joint and after pouring out a mans size drink of booze his right hand came into play with no trouble at all, his legs strengthened out and he dashed down the fiery liquid in ap- proved fashion, all signs of his crip- pied condition having vanished with the drink. Another instance was of a fake deaf and dumb man who was collecting tribute. He braced one of our prominent citizens and was turn ed down cold. As the citizen passed on the dumb man was heard by a by blankety blank stingiest cuss in Ari zona." Thus it is that the gullible public are separated from their hard earne d simoleums in an unworthy | cause.

Goodbye Booze

Goodbye BooZe-
 The death knell of personal use" was sounded on last Friday night when the drastic prohibition law went into effect and the railroads refused to make deliveries of liquor. Liquor in transit or held at the offices of the railroad companies at that time was returned to the consignor. Several thousand dollars have been expended in this district alone for booze in the past two months and it is said that there is more liquor now in the county than there was when the saloons were running full blast. After the stock now on hand is consumed the bibul- ous will be forced to endure the long drouth.
