Major Ernest Meyers Visits Douglas
and Talks on Statehood.

hiFo w 0NbNShNO1s
Douglas, A. r, Dispa,ch, oct g.
Major Ernest Myers, one OF the best
known business men of New Mexico.
arrived in Douglas this week and has
been looking over the business inter
ests of the smelter city. MIR. Meyers
is president OF the Meyers-Abel COM
pany, a large wholesale liquor house
of Albuquerque. and Is the pioneer
commercial man of New Mexico and
Arizona. He has been a member OF
the legislature of New Mexico and is
one of the most prominent leaders of
the democratic party in his territory.
Few men are better informed on the
politics OF New Mexico.
When seen last night at the Hotel
Roy, MIR. Meyers was in the best of
spirits and expressed himself with en-
thusiasm over what ne had seen in
Douglas.
Il have lived in the west since
1875" said he, "and have visited the
growing frontier towns long before
the railroads were constructed, but
have never visited a town so wonder
full as Douglas Is. No one can realize
what is here without coming and see
ing for himself. can see nothing
that will stop the growth of Douglas
until she becomes the largest town In
Arizona"
When asked what the feelings of
the people of New Mexico Is regard.
ing statehood he SAID: The people
of New Mexico are very much in ia
vor of statehood They want single
admission II they can get il, but il
the admission OF Arizona and New
Mexico cannot be secured as single
states hey want them admitted to-
gether.
They want statehood for the sim.
pie reason that they want a voice In
the handling of the government. We
would have two senators and ofii cials
who Will represent something and see
that the interests OF this section of
the great southwest is rightly cared
for"
When the major was told that the
people of Arizona were strongly OPP
posed 70 being yoked up with New
Mexico on account of numerous rea-
sons, principally the overwhelming
Mexican population who are generally
considered illiterate.
This is a mistaken idea for the
American population is very progress.
siye as Is also the majority of the
natives. Besides the area OF the two
great states would be next TO Texas,
the Empire state, and there would be
a greater amount Of wealth per CAPT
Ia. New Mexico leads Arizona In
many things, principally in agricultur.
al land, sheep, cattle, timber, coal and
other important features New Mex
leo is hopelessly republican and this
should be particular feature to that
great party"
When told that the delegates OF Ari.
zona and particularly Marx Smith
we're making a hard fight against
john admission he said they have
not looked into the situation fully as
the joint admission OF the two terri.
tories would mean 81 eat good to both.
AS soon as the people look into this
matter they must be educated to the
great advantage OF joint statehood"
Judge Rodey. the present delegate
TO congress, Is n wonderfully progress.
sive and hard worker for the inter.
est OF New Mexico and Arizona.

OYSTER CARRIER CORRECTION.
A Few inside Facts on the Patentee
Of the Device.

An afternoon paper published at
Las Vegas makes the assertion .ha;
the oyster carrying device was in.
vented by the manager of the San
Jose market In Albuquerque"
The writer, who Is noted all over
the southwest for his Inaccurate state
ments, ADDS another blunder TO his
long list. The device was patented
by Mr. Otis Andrews OF lei Paso. and
the date OF the patent 10 October ~.
1897.
During this season, Mr.. Andrews
made no attempt TO do anything with
his patent carrier nloft than TO manu-
facture same for his own use. In the
fall Of 1899. O. l.. Brooks of the San

he lost one Of his legs. A few years
afterward he was pulling the general
