Just what is going TO happen to the

want to retain their own name. and for

Pinney of Arizona, is unalterably OPP
posed to the joining of New Mexico and
Arizona. He says:
The Territorial Bar Association of
Arizona passed unanimous resolutions
in opposition to the joinder of New
Mexico and Arizona as one state and
selected committee Of five of the
territory to visit Washington to work
against the joint statehood bill of New
Mexico and Arizona now pending in the
senate. The PEOPLE Of Arizona are a
unit against the union of Arizona and
New Mexico. and they would prefer to
remain a territorial indefinitely rather
than be subject to the loss and injury
that the people Of that territory will be
required to suffer.
THE making of such a state as
Arizona and New Mexico would Gre
ate a state larger than Iowa. Michigan
New York, and all the New England
states combined, and to locate the cap.
ital in New Mexico, as it is proposed
to do, would require two days travel
each way, at an expense of railroad
fare and sleeping car fare alone OF
$75. The people of Arizona have
nothing. In common with the people Of
New Mexico; have had no business re.
lations with them whatever, and no ac.
quaintance with them.

Small Stores Pay We'll
This is in no way a complete list Of
the many different enterprises that are
conducted via the family" route, and
which may with apparent success be
operated in this manner. The cigar
and canly shops, however. are in the
