territories is dissimflar. Each has q
history, traditions and local life Of
its own. Union would make the com
munity so large as to- be unwieldy.
The chief reason Of Arizona's hostili-
ty to merger, however, Is that New
Mexico. being the larger, would get
most of the public buildings and most
of the benefits Of statehood.
These arguments against union are
not SO strong as they look to be. Ari-
iona was part of New Mexico origi-
,nally. Much of its history and tradi-
tons belong equally to its neighbor.
Physically, they pear a considerable
resemblance t. each other. Arizona
is growing faster than New Mexico,
and that ascendency of the latter
which is feared by the other will soon
be nonresident. United, they would
be smaller in area thar Texas, and
1ulllSdouI " l4oAAS IL
Texas, in joint resolution, under which
it was annexed, has the privilege of
dividing into several states. but no
Texan wants division. After living a
few years under a common state gov
eminent, the people of Arizona and
New Mexico might also be averse
to separation.
But If these territories tur down
union they will stay in their present
status. The East, the South, and a
large part of the Middle West are OPP
posed to the creation of two new
states in the arid region west of
Texas. 1t is union or exclusion for
them. The East will be glad to see
them keep up their fight against un-
ion, for this will mean that they will
be kept out of statehood. The East
thinks they do not deserve statehood,
even If united. This is a sentiment
which Arizona and it's neighbors must
reckon with. A large majority of
branch of congress is opposed
to giving twice as many votes in the
senate to the $780, 900 inhabitants of
Arizona and New Mexico as have the
S,000,0 900 people of New York, the
100000 people of Pennsylvania, or
the 5000, 900 people of Illinois.

the greatest experience. That was in
ly, but this portion of New Mexico
and Northern Texas suffered from
threats the same as the rest and sent
it's men to help fight. He was with
Captain Will Day when he took a
company of citizens and cowboys and
joined five or six companies of sol
diers in a general fight against the
Cheyenne band on Sand creek
in Kansas.
Many were killed and wounded on
both sides, but the redskins were
badly whipped. and what few escaped
found their way to the Black Hills.
They were under Chief Dull Knife,
and ON their way to Dakota, found
revenge in killing Captain Lewis and
his command at the head of the Paw
nee river, Captain Day was known
in Roswell. After his death his wi
dow married Capt. J.. c. Lea, of Ros-
well, and is now known as Captain
Lea's widow. She lives at Dallas.
In the fight at Sand River Phelps
White distinguished himself to the
Washington for special honors. A
number of the whites were about to
be ambushed. They we're going down
a draw, when a party of Indians saw
the movement and it was White who
proposed to rush out and fight the
Indians while the white men .lad
time to get out of the draw. Two other
cowboys responded, and the three
rushed out and fought the whole
band. So fierce was the fight of the
three cowboys that the Indian band
was dispersed for the time and the
white men were saved. Strange to
say, White wa snot injured.
The L.. F. D. outfit has bought and
delivered cattle at every shipping
point west of the Missouri river. Thus
the Whites are known all over the
cattle country. They have their big
ranching property in the Pecos Val
ley and great interests in Texas.
Four years ago they bought, in addi-
ton to what has been mentioned.
100000 acres from the KIT people.
Phelps White is one of the richest |
men in the county, a very few being |
near him in their holdings. |

You can put me down as convert

statehood" said DR.. Marcus A. Rog-

federal Offices in Arizona are what
converted me. Through outside influ-

thrust into positions of Importance

only to men Of ability and long ex-
