JUMPS EMBANKMEN
 DUMPS LOAD INTO RIVER

The Riverside drive, on the east side, was the scene of what could have been a serious accident last Wednesday night. A car driven by Arthur Tappin went over the river embankment and plunged down to the waters edge, without turning over or injuring either of the three occu- pants. The driver was thrown thru the windshield, which he carried with him in his plunge, while the other two were thrown clear of the car, and with the exception of a few minor bruises and some scratches, escaped without injury.
 In the car with Arthur Tappin were Red Sharpe, an employe of the Texas on company, and Richard Silvas, who with Arthur Tappin, are connected with the. Sidebatham Auto, company. which is the owner of the car that went over the embankment. Sharpe, who was riding with the driver, was thrown into the water, while Sflvas was thrown out on the side next to the bank, against which he landed That all were not killed is miracle, and each of the boys are very thankful that the accident only re- suited in the demolition of the car. While the machine is pretty badly wrecked, yet not to such an extent that it cannot be put in shape pretty soon When the automobile finally stopped the rear wheels were in the water of the river. It was hauled out by team of horses across on the west side of the river, and taken to the garage for rebuilding.
 MT. Tappin stated that the acci- dent was caused by some parts of the mechanism of the machine get ting out of order, causing the car to bump against the point of the noun. tain, and the rebound from the impact threw the car over the embankment. The accident occurred about 11:30 on Wednesday night. Tappin says the Overland is a good mahine but it wont fly.

CLIFTON VOTERS
 REGISTER SLOWLY
ONLY ONE MORE WEEK WITHIN WHICH TO QUALIFY AS AN ECECTOR-PRIMA ELECTION PROMISES TO BE WARM.

Though the registration books have been open since the 28th day or March, Town Clerk Hagan stated that only a small number of citi- zens had qualified to participate in the approaching primary election. The books will remain open until AprH Is, and if you would have say in taE selection of the men whom will be placed in nomination for city alder man it behooves you to get interested enough to qualify.
 Since the last issue of the Copper Era considerable interest has been aroused in the approaching primaries, and indications are that spirited contest may be pulled off on the 26th of April. The candidates have filed their petitions, and are before the people. Naturally every man has his favorite, and if you expect him to win it is essential that you register. This opportunity will only be open until one week from next Monday4
 Those who have not qualified with in that time will have no voice in naming the nominees.
 The men whom you will elect at the approaching city election will be your business agents; the ones to handle your finances, improve your streets make the laws for your future con- duct. In other words they are the men whom you will select to conduct the affairs of the city, which is as much your business as it is anyone's. The indifference shown in selecting these men, which if applied to pri- vate business concerns, would bank rupt any business in the world. Do you wonder that municipal affairs are no better administered? The citizen is responsible if there be cor rupt CT incompentent men on your board of aldermen. The incompe- .ents are elected to office either by your vote or indifference. If you isnow a man is not qualified to fill the position it is your duty to vote for one who can make the city creditable official. and none other should be selected. You cannot do this unless you are qualified voter.
 There is yet ample time to register, but many nut off these matters until too late. Remember the books will not be open after o'clock Monday, April 18th.
 City Clerk Hagan will be at Riley confectionery next Monday and Thurs. da.y eveniEg from 5:30 to ' o'clock, with the registration books This will give those who cannot fad tim during thc day to visit his office, an opportunity to qualify as voters

 Clifton, Mrs. B. F. Spriggs.
 Morenci, Mrs. Milton Mclean.
 Metcalf Mrs. B. Y. Gay.
 Duncan, Mrs. Ruth Lanneau.
 Blue, Mrs. Frank Hodges.
 It is the patriotic duty of every woman to assist in this campaign, and the ladies of the county are expected to play an important part in raising Greenlee's quota, which is $212,500.
 The men on the battle front are giving their limbs, eyesight, and bodies for you. Can't you buy a Liberty bond?
 It is better to have bought small bond than never to have bought at all.
 Mothers, buy a Liberty Bond for the baby.

GREENLEE SECOND
 IN W. $. $. SALES
REGENT MORENcI DRIVE AD. VANCES COUNTY FROM SECOND TO THIRD PLACE-ONE-THiR OF ASSESSMENT RAISED.

The report of the Arizona War Sav- 1ngs committee of the amount report ed up to March 25 shows that of the $5,274 ,620 allotment assessed against the state only $551, ,475 had been re- ported. In this statement Greenlee county is placed in the third column, but this estimate was made before the report of the Morenci drive had reach ed headquarters, which doubtless will advance the showing of Greeulee county to second place in the next report. Of course 1t is possible that other counties will be materially ad- vanced by that time, but it is hardly probable that any county will show such an increase in war saving securi- ties as will Greenlee, and the Cooper Era is taking the liberty of adding the results of the Morenci drive and locai sales for March to these figures for the purpose of this story. An re- ported March 25 this county had to it's credit only $5s,s7s. The sales at this time show that this amount has more than doubled, and it can be safely said that Greenlee Is now only second to Maricopa county in amount of sales.
 In the last statement the distributor pays Yavapai county a nice compli. ment on the progress made in the sale of securities, but 1t is expected that Greenlee will be the recipient of this bouquet in the next report.
 Following is the standing of the counties as amended as explained ahove.

MANY COUNTY COUNCILS
 OF DEFENSE ORGANIZED

Phoenix, Apil 5-Chairman Dwight B. Heard of the State Council of Defense is gratified deeply over the success that has attended the organi- zation of the Arizona County Councils of Defense, which now are settling down to the important work necess- ary if every man, woman and child is to contribute toward the prosecution of righteous defense of the Nations liberties. It is urged that there be a general joining of the county and community councils, in a spirit of loyal service, and that all features of ratriotic effort be centered around these organizations. They are being formed in all the States of the Un- ion. under direct authorization of the National Council and with the written approval of the president. They are expected to do much toward stimula- ton of loyalty, suppression of treason able utterances and actions and in forwarding the growth of national ability in the turning out of mili- tary and food supplies.

HILLS FLAT HOME ENTERED Z BY BURGLAR SUNDAY NIGHT

Last Sunday night, or rather Mon day morning, about o'clock, some one entered the home of Chas- H. Davidson, who lives in Hills add1- tion. with the evident intention to burglarize the premises. The facts as related by MT. Davidson are sub stantially as follows:
 By cutting the screen wire and unfastening the screen an entrance was effected into the room in which Mrs. Nora Hagan and Miss Gertrude Davidson, both daughters of MT. Davidson, were sleeping. Mrs. Ha- gan was awakened by the movement of her pillow, as though made by some one feeling under her head. Thinking it was the cat she attempt ed to frighten it away. Then she heard some one rumpling the paper in the dresser drawer in which were placed some millinery. She screamed and the prowler made his escape by jumping through the open window, feet in the yard MT. Davidson went out as quickly as possible, but failed to see the fleeing intruder, who was supposed to have secreted himself somewhere while he replaced his shoes.
 Mrs Hagan saw the intruder very plainly, but did not recognize him. She stated that he was rather small, and the footprints indicated the would-be burglar to be a small man. The lady could not determine whether he was white man or a Mexican, ' but the description she gave the off, cers is believed to be plain enough to cause him to be recognized.
 Evidently the prowler was in search of money, as nothing of value was missing, and there was an amount pf money in the house at the time,'' btated MT. Davidson.

Clean Up Day Observed

Dr. L. A. w. Burtch, city health of ficer, states that cleanup day was gen orally observed in Clifton last Mon- day. The health officers made a tour of the city this week, and inspected the town, both the residences and business section. According to the statements of Dr. Burtch Chase Creek is clean, condition which has not prevailed in that section in many years. About all the delinquencies encountered in the city were leaky pipes. These were ordered correct ed. The board condemned the upper story of the building owned by Ro- mu1a Villescas on Chase Creek, and ordered same torn down. It is be- lieved that this building will soon be rebuilt, had this order not been made.

NOTHING FR|G|O
 IN POLITICS NOW
MANY CANDIDATES FILE NOMI- NATION PAPERS-MASS MEET ING PUT MEN IN FIELD-FOUR- TEEN NAMES FILED.

Last weeks Copper Era said some thing about dearth of candidates for alderman of the town of Clifton. Nothing like that goes this week. The woods are full of them, and city poli- tics is assuming a lurid hue. If the interest continues that is now mani fest the campaign will be at white heat ere the ides of April 26th shall have rolled around. This is well. It shows that the people of Clifton are interested in having good men in the offices to conduct the municipal af- fairs. The more interest all the peo- pie manifest in the politics of the city the better prospects there will be to securing the best material to manage the affairs of Clifton.
 Those democrats whose interests are here, and who are interested in having the best material for the pub lie servants of the city, were laying low, thinking the proper men would offer for the places, but as stated in the Copper Era last week good men are shy when 1t comes to entering into a scramble for the office of alder men. That the Copper Era was cor rect when it stated that all were patriotic and willing to serve their community when properly importuned is evidenced by the willingness or many to become candidates when their services are called for, in the present emergency.
 Mass Meeting Put Out Ticket.
 To get the proper material before the people a number of the business men of Clifton met in mass meeting at the court house Thursday night to name a Democratic ticket to be nomi- mated in the approaching primary, April 26. There were present Samuel Abraham, Peter Riley, Mat Danen- hauer, Oliver Billingsley, H. 1T. Grady, Roy Hagar, Dan Eylar, L. F. Sweating, G. l.. Coffee, Asa Miller, M. B. Crawford, c. W. Young and J. o. Gaines. Dan Eylar presided at the meeting, while Roy Hagan was chosen secretary
 The usual harmony of a Democratic assemblage prevailed. The results or the meeting was the naming of the following gentlemen to become can didates for the nominees of the Demo cratic party of Clifton, to be ballot ted upon at the approaching primary seven to be nominated;
 O. J. Cotey, Frank Springer, Peter Riley, Asa Miller, S. V. Norte, O. W. Young, O. K. Burgess, K. K. Min son. Fly Combs, O. A. Risdon, J. A. McWilliams, George B. Gamble, Geo. Carlton and M. E. Crawford. R. ". Simpsons nomination paper, it is un- derstood, was also filed.
 After the nights deliberation nomi- nation papers were prepared yester- day. and interested parties got busy and secured the required number or signatures and filed their papers.
 As the lineup stands there are TOW fifteen candidates in the field for the seven offices. The campaign is now on. and the fight will be con tinued till the polls are closed on the evening of April 26. From this array If a good board of aldermen is not selected it will be the result of bad judgment in selecting your fav- orite in the municipal running. Nos because the material is short, for her. is talent in abundance, and then some.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN k NOW ON-GREENLEE'S ASESS-
 MENT PLACED AT $212,5o0- LADIES TO BE ACTIVE.

Judge Frank B. Laine, chairman of the Greenlee Liberty Bond campaign is just in receipt of a telegram an nouncing that the third Liberty Loan campaign was launched yesterday (Friday) instead of today, the first anniversary of Americas entrance in to the world war. Just why this change was made is not apparent. The campaign is now on, and will be pushed to successful termination. All will be pressed into the service of the country in the sale of these bonds The lady organization of the county will be active in the campaign to raise Greenlee's quota. Mrs. Beulah R. Burtch, county chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Bond committee, has appointed her corps of assistant chairmen in the various communities of the county, who will get busy right away.
 Greenlee's quota of this fund has been assessed at $212, 800, quite sum to raise, but with the resources avail able there is no doubt of the people of this county fully subscribing the amounts allotted to them.
 A movement has been put on foot by the state organization to have all Arizona subscriptions to this issue credited to the state. If this Is carried out there is no doubt of the state raising it's quota. Heretofore the mining corporations have subscrib ed for Liberty Bonds at the head quarters of the companies, and the states in which the headquarters are located have received credit for the bonds bought. The scond issue this was divided with the result that Ar1- zona made a splendid showing. In the event the efforts of the state or ganization are successful, and the full amount subscribed by the general offices of the mining companies are credited to the state, it is probable that Arizona's quota will be largely cver-subscribed, and Greenlee will be one of the banner counties.
 While it is true that there are few very wealthy people besides the mir. ing interests in Greenlee county, yet this does not mean that it is expect ed to put the whole burden on the mining industry. The men of moder ate means will take as much of the issue as possible, and every one is ex pected to enter into the campaign to bring this county's purchase up to the full assessment.
 AS stated above the ladies are ac tive, and it is expected to put the boys and girls to work. The Boy Scouts have done good work in the past, and will be valuable assistants in this campaign if properly directed
