Progress Of Arizona.

Washington, Oct 25.-The annual re-
port of the governor of Arizona to tho
secretary of the interior says the ter
ritory population has increased con-
sderably and that the total population
now is between 5000 and 100000.
1t expresses a desire on the part of
the people of Arizona for statehood
but says that finding themselves con-
fronted with plan to unite their terri
tory with New Mexico. the people of
Arizona have protested vigorously and
will continue to do SO until they have
defeated this repugnant scheme. They
would desire that their commonwealth
remain a territory indefinitely rather
than to be joined with New Mexico"
The governor adds his belief that the
merger would not be acceptable to the
mass Of the people Of either territory.
The report says that the floating in
debtedness of Arizona. which on June
80, 1908, was $92.341. has been wiped
out and a balance OF $20.S49 remained
in the general fund at the close of the
last fiscal year.
The taxable property of the territory
has gained $1.9S1 sos during the year.
The total taxable property of the va
rious counties is $45.069.545. Substan-
tial progress in other directions is re-
ported.
