 A letter has been received by tho statehood committee from senator BeVeriGge of the committee on tarritor ies, saving the committee will give the statehod bill earnest and careful con sideration when the proper time comes.
 The board of trade has received an other letter from Mr. R. A. Fowler, urging that the efforts of the local statehood committee he kept up in the direction of influential members of the senate. He lays particular stress on the value of influence brought to bear from friends outside the territory as they all admit in Washington that Ari- zonians desire statehood.
 Fortunately it is that line Of work to which the committee has been di- recting it's greatest attention. And that its efforts have been fruitful is in dicated by letters received daily from gentlemen of influence acknowledging telegrams and letters from Phoenix asking for their support. All who have responded express their interest in Arizona's struggle and most of them announce their willingness to do all in their power to influence senators favor ably There is but one exception. General Macarthur. and he in writing at some length says that he is person. ally favorah hle to statehood and would be glad to help. only that army officers are not permitted to interfere in mat ters of legislation.
 Among the many who have written encoura Ging letters to the committee l saying that they will use their influence with their representative in congress. are Dr. J. B. Murphy of Chicago NJ. W. Kales of Oakland and Robert LiE~ ! cCln of Chicago. MT. J. Krutschnitt 1 of San Francisco writes that President 1 Hartman of the Southern Pacific iS l interesting himself in the movement. 1 Senator Bailey writes that he is doing l all he can. though he holds out no i sanguine assurance.
