Arizona and New Mexico to Be
Joined as the state of Arizona,
While the Indian Territory Will
Lose It's Identity With Okla
hOma.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE senate
committee on territories, by vote of
8 to 4, has authorized a favorable re.
port on the statehood bill providing
for admission into the union of Okla.
homa and Indian territory, to become
the state of Oklahoma, and for the ad
mission of Arizona and New Mexico,
to be the state Of Arizona.
The bill is one originating in the
house in the second session of the Fiji
ty -eighth congress, but has been
amended materially by the senate com
mittee. The closeness of the vote prac
literally makes in certain that there
will be minority report.
The opponents of the bill will con-
test its passage on the >oflor Of the SEN
ate. The statehood bill will be- unfin-
ished business in the senate after the
vote on the Philippines bill.
Nearly all Of the time since the
opening of the present congress the
senate committee on territories has
been at work perfecting the house bill,
but it was not until late Thursday that
vote could be had. the death Of SEN
ator Quay, who had fought persistent
ly for the admission of each of the
four territories as separate state,
leaving the committee equally divid-
ed. The vacancy was filled by the
appointment of Senator Dick The
most important changes made in the
house bill are the insertion Of clause
prohi biting traffic in liquor for peli-
cd Of ten years in that part of the pro-
posed state of Oklahoma now known
as Indian territory and the elimination
from the house bill of all provisions
with reference to suffrage, except the
following:
THAT such state shall never enact
any law restricting or abridging the
right of suffrage on account of race,
color or previous condition of servi-
tude."
As passed by the house the bill con-
tanned exceptions, but also specifically
permitted the proposed states, if they
so desired, to abridge SURFACE on &C
count of sex. The provision as to sex
caused go many protests from women
surffagists that the committee struck
out the provision on this subject, thus
leaving no reference whatsoever in the
bill that might indicate an opinion Of
any sort on the question of female
suffrage.

RED CEDAR SINGLE ASSOCIATION
TO DISSOLVE.
Object Said to Be the Organize ton
OF New Company on a Plan
Which Will insure Better Con.
troll Of the Market and Improve
Conditions Generallh.

Seattle, Dec. 15.-At an executive
session of the Red Cedar Single Asso-
citation in this city yesterday 1t Was de.
cided to dissolve the association. The
meeting was executive and no one out
side of the regular stock holders and
officials was allowed to be present.
From an inside source, however, it was
afterwards learned that the general i'm
preston prevailed that the conditions
warranted the radical measure of dis.
incorporating the association.
The action terminating the official
existence of the association will prob
ably not be taken until after the first
of the year, when the stock holders will
hold meeting.
The real object to be obtained by
this action is the organization of new
company on an entirely different plan
from the old one. 1t is desired to pro-
vide for a better control OF the market,
steady prices and to improvev condi-
tions generally for the mill owners.
The particular feature Of the new
organization is said to be the cutting
adrift from the agents or dealers in
terests, which heretofore have been
largely influential in the workings of
the association and resume working in
the interests of the cutters or mill own.
ers. To secure this result it is declared
tina: the executive committee has work
ed diligently, and, for obvious reasons,
the members attending the meeting
exhibited great disinclination to speak
of the matter for publication.
Originally, when the market was
becoming demoralized, the mill own.
ers formed the organization to protect
the sales and improve prices for their
goods. For time this worked out
successfully, but the bad winter in the
East and other conditions brought
about poor trade there and the mill
owners themselves refused to sut the
output materially. The result was
that the Eastern markets became over
stocked and the overplus, or a portion
of it, from the Washington mills was
dispatched by the association in transit
The dealers and agents then came
in and it is from this direction, the
claim is made, that the existing trou.
bles came.
1t is the intention, after the present
ASSOCIATION is dissolved, to reorganize
with an entirely different set OF stock.
