Douglas, Ariz., Dec. 4.-(Special.)--
 Photographic reports from G. L. An drews, broker of this city, from var ious points south give accounts of sweeping disasters caused by the late floods on the Babispe river in Sonora.
 The Mormon colonies of Oaxaco and Morales, situated in the flooded district, were practically wiped out, says the report. The flood was the greatest ever known to the region. The colony at Oaxaco numbered about 800 people and that of Morales about 300. About all the houses of both colonies are said to have been washed away and practically all the improvements of the farms destroyed, with a large percentage of the live stock and household effects. If the rise of the river was gradual there was probably little or no loss of life, as the people could escape to the hills.
 The two settlements were farming communities about fifty miles south of Douglas. and the colonists bought their supplies mostly in this city. The sufferers of this great disaster are therefore largely known here. The amount of damage cannot be com puted at this tiD2, as the details have not yet begun .o arrive.

JUSTICE FOR ARIZONA.

(From the Los Angeles Times.)
 For years the territory of Arizona has been knocking at the doors of the union for statehood. This appeal can not go forever disregarded. It must be granted sooner or later.
 This is the position that the Times has taken from the beginning. It has held, as it holds today, that Arizona should be admitted to the sisterhood of states as soon as she is qualified for statehood. If that time is now ar rived, there should be no further de- lay, and Arizona should freely be granted the boon for which her people have so long and earnestly stTiven. This should not be a political ques- tion. The sole issue should be as to whether Arizona can meet the neces- sary requirements. All other consid-

,rations are heside the ouestion.

erations are beside the question. As for the proposition to join Ari. zona to New Mexico, and to admit these two vast territories thus yoked together as one state. is strenuously objected to in Arizona. For many reasons. each of which is sound and convincing. this scheme has never met with encouragement to any extent in Arizona. The people of that territory have said that they prefer to have Ari- zona remain indefinitely as a territory rather than have it bound to New Mexico with the shackles Of state hood. Such a tie would be distaste- ful in the last degree to the people Of Arizona, and nothing in the world is clearer than that their wishes ought to be respected.
 In this connection the San Fran cisco Chronicle, in a recent article, pertinently asked why an enterpris- ing and enlightened people, who have been for a long term of years strug- gling to build themselves up to ht condition for assuming seh-goyerning responsibilities of statehood should be compelled, when they have reached that stage of development to lose their political identity by being merged, against their desires, into an- other organism, with which they have no affinity, and the interests of whose people are not in common with their own?" Why, indeed, to be sure? Such an act" adds the Chronicle, would be an outrage which the pres ervation of the senatorial equilibrium, the excuse advanced for proposing to carry it out, cannot justify"
 Under the circumstances, the ac- tion of Senator Beveridge, chairman of the esnate committee on territo- ries, in seeking to revive the project of joint statehood is unaccountable on any rational or just ground. The joint statehood measure is, and has been since it's first introduction in con gross, obnoxious to a great majority of the citizens of Arizona To carry out the scheme would be a political blunder and an unpardonable mes alliance"
 It hardly seems credible that con gress can be guilty of this ill-advised iointure. when Arizona sentiment is so radically against it. It is clear that if these two territories should be joined by force. as is proposed, they would not long remain so joined. The union would surely be an unhappy one. Arizona would soon be applying for divorce, and the chances are that she would get it in due course of time. for it would be justly her due.
