EAGER FOR STATEHOOD.
Arizona People Do Not Want to Be
Coupled Up With New Mexico.

Mr. Sims Ely. Phoenix. Ariz.. is at the
Arlington. Mr.. Ely is managing editor of
the Arizona Republican. He talked enthus-
iastically today of the territory.
1.-The sentiment for statehood" said Mr.
Ely, "is rife in the territory. The people
are thoroughly aware that certain polla-
clans favor the admission of Arizona ana
New Mexico as one state. but are unanl-
mously opposed to any such proposition and
feel that Arizona alone should be admitted
to the Union a state. 1t Is the opinion IN
Arizona that the territory has superior
class of citizenship. In expressing such an
opinion. however. we do not mean TO diS,
parage our sister territory 1t IS well
known that the white population of Arizona
is greater than that of New Mexico
''The people of Arizona fully expect to be
admitted to the Union in the present ses-
sion Of Congress. We do not, however,
think the admission will take effect for a
year and will. of course. have no say IN
the approaching presidential campaign Inc
interest in the election in Arizona will, how
ever be as great as in any state or the
Union. In the republican councils of the
territory Mr.. Roosevelt is very popular
1.-The prospects of the territory from a
mining standpoint are inestimabfe In the
near future it will lead the world in the
production of copper and gold. The pro-
duction of gold showed a marked increase
recently and everyone is proud OF the ter
ritory.
"As Is we'll known the people of Arizona
are also much interested in irrigation. There
are at present more than six hundred miles
of main irrigation canals in the Valley Oh
the Salt river. There are also several nun
dred miles of lateral canals The work or
constructing the Tonic basin reservoir py
the government is rapidly progressing:
When completed. 1t will cover an area OF
twenty square miles and will place 3oO,ooo
acres of land under irrigation. 1t Is est
mated that the cost of constructing the
reservoir will be $3,OOO,0O0

H BILL

Hv a combination With the secretary
of the interior the democrats OF the
house were able to defeat the Mondeil
bill opening to settlement the Shoshone
Indian lands. IT was made q party
and Ge democrats voteo
unanimously against the bill. II the!
can make anything in a political way
ont Of this actpn they are eDtirely
welcome to it.
h opeuinp Of the reservation
would haze given homes to hfteen
thousapl people. 1t would have re
canned from their desert character
at least 500, 900 acres Of farming Ian
It would have given more than a mil
lion acres of fine grazing land to the
settlers Of the state. More than this.
It would have given the Indians more
money for their lands than they asked
in their treaty of 1891 by 100 per cent
II would have provided them with a
large sum for the purchase Of cattle
and would have given their schools
buildings and supplies they will be un'
able to obtain in any other amer.
It was q great bill for Wyoming;
It was . great bill for the Indians
Every resident in the state who mao
been heard to express an opinion fav'
pred the passage of the act. 1t was
highly important, too, that the bill.
should be passed at the earliest pos
sible date, for the very good reason
that water rights are going rapid!
and not q single drop has ever beer
appropriated for lands within the Dor
ders of the reservation. Indians know
nothing of state laws and water rights
and Indian agents don't seem to be
much in advance; at least they have
done nothing in the matter OF obtain
ing rights for these lands. Meanwhile
large appropriations are being made
from the Big Horn further down the
Stream. both in Wyoming and Mon
tana.
The lands on the reservation to the
north of the Big Wind river are par
ticularly well situated for a big gov
eminent reclamation project. Prob
ably 800, 900 acres could be brought
under a single canal and The Republi'
can is of the opinion that every acre
Of 1t could be reclaimed at a cost uh,
der twenty dollars per acre, thus fur
nishing a S., OOO, 900 colonization plan
Of unusual merit.
This is the kind of enterprises that
build up the state and the more we can
have of them the better it will be for
the entire west. Incidentally, too. ii
may be said, that the more enterprises
like this and the Wheatland colony
men like Gibson, Patterson and the
democrats of the house oppose The
better it will be for the republican par
ty Of the west. When it m down
to the final pinch, they can always be
depended upon to kick over the bucket
of milk.
1t is believed that Mr.. Mondell will
be able to get the matter up early IN
the next session of congress and push
It through to final passage.

BOOMERANG'S FALSE POSITION

By subterfuge and inuendo the
Boomerang is attempting to mislead
the people as to the real issue In the
present school election. 1t would
have the electors believe there Is a vi
tai political principle at stake and that
1t is therefore of the greatest import
ance that Mr.. Holiday should be
elected. There is no party principle in.
volved, and it is well aware of the fact.
This is proved by the fact that the op.
position has named but man.
The issue and the only issue inject,
ed into this school election at almost
the eleventh hour. is to down Mr.. Otto
Gramm. And why does the Boomerang
seek to down a man who has labored
faithfully. energetically and intelli'
gently for this school district fol-
many years? Does it charge that he
has not given the people good service!
No. Does it charge that school mat
ters have not been conducted in the
most economical manner consistent
with efficiency? No. 1t has no fault
to find on this score because there is
none. It simply falls back on a fimsy
partisan excuse, which Is exploded by
the fact that it indorses Mr. Carter.
The truth about the matter Is that
the entire opposition to Mr.. Gramm is
grounded in petty luminosity and spite
