.lOO MEMBERS GOAL
 . CLIFTON '. M. |. A.
BIG MEMBERSHIP DRIVE TO BE LAUNCHED WEDNESDAY-'Y A HOME FOR THE HOMELESS READING, BATHING AND GAMES FOR MEMBERS.

A big membership drive for the local Y. M. c. A. will be launched about the midde of next week, is an nounced by Secretary Whitaker. The goal is set at one hundred new members and nothing short of that number will satisfy those having the campaign in hand.
 There is every reason why every man in Clifton should become mem Der. If you are single man, and away from home, the Y offers you a place for amusement, instruction and recreation. The most wholesome at mosphere is encountered at the Y. Nothing immoral is tolerated. Mem bers are supplied with free baths, hot and cold, and have access to the large library consisting of HOO volumes, besides the large number of magazines, newspapers and periodi- calls. Here games of all kinds are for the amusement of the members, and athletic sports. If you are married man, and feel the necessity of no such entertainment outside of your own home, it is your duty as a loyal citizen to support this worthy insti- CuClOn. ASlu0 1TOu IulS lOy diIy which is the duty of every one to contribute to every meritorious en- terprise of the town, the Y offers a convenient and suitable place to car ry your friends when visiting you, for entertainment and amusement, and it is a place where you can meet business associates for consultation over business matters. This one point should not be underestimated :. In town like Clifton, where the business interests covers so much territory, the Y is centrally located where it is convenient for business men to meet.
 But the local Y is not a dead one by any means New life is being in. jected into the membership every month. The secretary states that vol untary names are being enrolled at the rate of about ten new members each month.
 With the many advantages offered there is no reason why the member ship drive skould not prove the most successful of any campaign ever launched in the city. Every citizen who believes in the wholesome 1nf1u- ence for good that is being exerted by this organization, should throw themselves into the campaign and see that the goal is "over-subscribed" and that in a few weeks. Lets all get busy and add these 100 new members to Clifton's Y. M. c. A.

ASSESSMENT FOR
 W. 5. $. S377.880
OF THIS AMOUNT ONLY $12,a23 HAS BEEN REPORTED-IF AP. PORTlONMENT IS RAISED MUCH WORK YET TO BE DONE.

Arizona's apportionment of the war fund to be raised by the sale of war savings stamps, and through the sale or baby bonds, has been assessed at $5,274,620. Of this amount only $2S6.- 426 has been raised. Maricopa coun- ty is the only county that has reported any considerable amount, but that county is still shy of the apportion- ment placed upon it. But the peo- pie are only concerned about their own household, and the raising of the apportionment assessed against this county, is a matter of vital interest to every man. Little work has been done in the county, comparatively. With the exception of the drive now being conducted at Morenci, the people of the county seem to be apa- tie thought. Surely no one wants the county to be put in the stacker list, But such seems to be our fate unless there is an awakening.
 Clifton, the county seat and metrop- olis of the county, is not fully aroused to the importance of the move, which according to it's commercial suprema- cy should be setting the pace for the OIAcT Ol IAS COuuty. 1O arouse interest in this matter requires the united effort of all. The Copper Era is contributing much to the awakening of the patriotic spirit of our people, but 1t alone can not ac- complish all that is required. The banks of the county have come for ward with page ad in this paper in the interest of the campaign to raise our apportionment, and this. week the store department of the Arizona Cop per company devotes it's entire ad- vertising space to the cause. Other business men can help arouse the people by doing likewise, and showing that they are interested. It is better to invest your money in government securities than to pay it in war in- demnities.
 Greenlee's apportionment for this purpose is $377,SS0. Of this amount $12,S23 has been reported. In this report is not included that which has been raised during the present drive which is being waged in Mo renci, and which campaign is being so successfully conducted as to elicit the nraise and admiration of every patrio- ii citizen of the county But the noint is, get husv if we are to do our bit. Only s365,057 additional is to be raised. and if everybody will come through like the people of Morencf, Greenlee county will make. good.

ELKS f0R THE BLUE
 ID ARRIVE SUNDAY
STATE PROCRED SIXTY ELKS FROM YELLOWSTONE PARK HALF TO BE LIBERATED ON BLUE RANGE PRESERVES.

Last week Representative G. L.. Cof- fee received a message that sixty head of elk had been secured from the Federal government to be sent to this district, from Yellowstone park, which is in accordance with a bill introduc- ed by MT. Coffee creating the Blue Range as state game preserve. State Game Warden G. M. Willard ar rived in Clifton Tuesday for the pur- pose of receiving these elk, and to superintend their unloading and liber- ation. After arriving here he receiv- ed a message from Harry Anderson, the man whom the warden engaged to capture the elk,annunocing that they were shipped last Wednesday, with a man in charge, who bears a letter of instruction to the game warden. MT. Willard stated that the game should reach Clifton Sunday afternoon, if close connexions were made. They are coming by express, and are sixty in number. All will be unloaded here and kept in the stock pens for sew eral days until rested from the journey, then thirty head will be driven to the Blue Range preserves, where they will be liberated. Repre- sentative Coffee and Sheriff Slaughter volunteered the services of them selves and men to assist in driving the herd out to the preserves.
 The other half of the shipment will be reloaded and shipped to Pima from which place they will be driven to the Mount Graham preserves and liberated.
 MT. Willard stated that the elk were procured by the state, 1t belng necessary to secure permit from the Secretary of Agriculture, under cer- tain regulations prescribed by the government as a preliminary proceed ing, after which he was permitted to engage a man to capture them. The cost to the state was five dollars per head for their capture and loading, while the express charges will be s912, making a total expense to the state of $1212 for placing the elk on the preserves.
 Five years ago the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks interes ed themselves in propagating their pa tron game in this state, and secured S6 head which were liberated neal Winslow, the B. P. O. E. financing the proposition. MT. Anderson, the man who captured and loaded the elks now enroute to Clifton, is the man who captured those liberated at Wins low. Six head ot this herd died be- fore they reached their destination. The eighty liberated, MT. Willard says are doing fairly well, the last check he had of them. Two years ago he reports that thirty-five calves had been added to the herd by increase, but since that date has had no checks on this herd.
 A game warden will look after the herds to be liberated by this ship ment, and as all hunting is absolutely prohibited, ample provisions have been made for their protectioI.
 MT. Willard will remain here until these elk have been received and liberated, then he will proceed with the other shipment to Pima and su- pervise the unloading and disposition of the other thirty head in the Gra- ham mountains.

Speeding PeriLeus in Duncan


 The city of Duncan is determined that speed demons shall observe the speed limit in passing through that city. Recently, according to the Dun can News, serious accidents have been narrowly averted by the heed lessness of the safety first" princf- ple. Now, in order that the lives of the citizens of that place may be con- served, it has been ordained that the speed demon passes through that town at his own peril, and that of his car, unless he observes the laws govern ing traffic To inforce the speed limit mounds of earth has been placed in the streets of the city, and he who passes through at 80 miles per, does so at his own peril, and the risk of wrecking his car. The Copper Era comes to the assistance of the News, and gives this matter added publicity, as it is likely that some of our own reorle are not guiltless of this infrac- ton. and crepe is. not becoming to Nifton people.
