 This same paper contains the fol- lowing:
 The demand for belting is rapidly increasing in Japan. owing to the con- stant growth in the number of fac tories, but the leather industry in this country is unable to meet the demand, not only as regards quantity. but qual- ity as well. Japanete belting is in ferior to the imported article, and also higher in price, so that, although spin ming mills would willingly place their orders in Osaka, the center of the leather industry, they cannot yet do so. Time will probably bring inn provements in its train. The business nf leather making is at present quiet In Osaka, though it enjoyed great prosperity during the war-Japan Chronicle.

THE PEOPLE
 UNANIMOUS A Ringing Protest Against Joint Statehood
Nearly $500 Signatures at the Fair in Half an Hour Against the Con- templated Crime.

If there had ever been any doubt of the overwhelming anti-joint state hood sentiment in this territory it would have been removed by an incl dent at the fair grounds yesterday. In the midst of the racing, when the crowded grandstand was engrossed with that sport, and was apparently caring for little else for the moment, it was announced through the great megaphone of the starter that MT. J. C.. Adams had something to say to the audience. The 5000 people who filled the seats of the grandstand, who jam med the aisles and even tnronged the stairway. wondered what it could be that should thus break in on the rac- ing when the afternoon was flying like the horses. There was in some sec tions of the audience a show of i'm patience, which, however, quickly van ished when MT. Adams began to ex- plain the nature of the Interruption
 He said that for the last three or four weeks so much time and atten- ton had been of necessity devoted to the fair that much more important matter had been neglected. The terri tory was threatened with the destruc-
 
 borders by being forced by congress into jointure with New Mexico. The speaker believed that if congress could be definitely assured of the wish of the people it would not commit the in tended wrong. There mad been so much representation regarding the sentiment in Arizona on the subject of joint statehood that there might seem a reasonable doubt in the minds of some of the congressman. Now, said MT Adams, is a good time to remove the last vestige of it. He said that reso- lutions of protest had been drawn up which he then presented as follows:
 We, the citizens of Arizona, in at tendance at the first annual territorial fair on Saturday. December 3O do hereby earnestly protest against the proposed union of Arizona and New Mexico to form one state
 We are freeborn American citizens who have inherited as a birthright the principles enunciated in the Declara- ton of Independence and the Consti- tuition of the United States. Among these is the right of f-government
 We fear that the congress of the United States may be deceived as to the sentiment in Arizona by partisan zealots. We submit that we are capa- ble of knowing what is for our best interests and we affirm that with al most no exception our people are un- alterably opposed to this obnoxious union.
 ''We do not believe that the exigen- cies of party politics justifies the fore ing the people of Arizona under the domination of the people of New Mex leo. who are very largely different in race, language and laws.
 We prefer to remain Q territory in definitely rather than to lose our iden- tity and finally we respectfully sub init that there is no necessity of set ting this question until it can be set tied right"

LAYING DUST IN SWITZERLAND

Consul Keene of Geneva makes the following report regarding efforts that have been made at Geneva and other points in Switzerland to suppress the annoyance resulting from dust raised on roads travelled by motor cars. The consul says:
 Motor car dust is a perennial pest which renders living in suburban and country houses situated on important roads most unhealthful and uncom- fortable. 1 am informed that it has been found impossible of late to either lease or sell certain villas in the French Riviera, and that the paradise of the motorist has become the inferno of the inhabitant. Public opinion in Switzerland, desiring to put a stop to a state of affairs so objectionable, founded in 1904 the Swiss league against road dust. and already good results are shown. After several trials on different roads and streets in Ge- neVa, both the cantonal and municipal authorities applied anti-dust prepara- tions on 36,0O0 square meters of road G10,610 square feeD. The spring was most unfavorable for anti-dust appli- cations, and the material and prepara- tions were not obtained by the au- thorities until the middle of August last.
 The preparations mostly used have been hot coal tar, and, in less quan- tity, hot "Lambercier asphaltine" manufactured in Geneva), which IS found efficient, but expensive, and gas tar with water. Westrumite and apul- vite have not given the good results which were expected. In general how ever, the results have been satisfac- tory, and the treatment will be con- tinued next year. Private proprietors have also applied anti-dust prepara- tions on the busy roads passing their country houses.
