MAY BE ABANDONED.
New Mexico and Arizona Likely to be
Left Out of Statehood Bill.

" Washington, Jan. IL. - The joint
statehood bill will continue to be the
principal topic of discussion in the SEN
ate during the present week, but other
measures will receive attention each
day during the morning hour, includ-
ing the omnibus bill, for which Senator
Warren stands sponsor. The bill COM
prises more than 200 pages, but the
senator already has succeeded in hav-
ing it read by utilizing odd hours, and
this has put large and important part
of the work of consideration to the
rear.
An effort will be made torget through
the bill providing for the compensation
of American fishermen whose vessels
were seized previous to the arbitration
of 1898. This measure is in the hands
of Senator Fulton, who will press it as
an act of justice to men who have been
Disseminated against.
The pure food bill will remain in
the background for the present, not be-
cause the friends of that measure have
abandoned it, but because they consider
that its chances will be improved by
not pressing for immediate considera-
ton. They have been assured by the
Republican leaders that the bill shall
have first place on the calendar aside
from appropriation bills, after the
statehood bill is disposed of and there
fore they will not antagonize the state
hood bill for the present if at all.
The only real fight is against the
uniting of Arizona and New Mexico,
and there is talk of eliminating these
territories entirely from the statehood
proposal. 1t is believed if this were
done the bill for the consolidation Of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory would
pass. Thus far there has been no con-
ference of opposing factions on the sub
ject and probably little will be doncste
change the present status SO long as
the leaders are anxious to keep Other
matters in the background, as appears
to be the case at present.

Have Been Suspended.

Washington, Jan. 11.-By direction
of the president, Secretary Hitchcock
has suspended Register J. 7. Bridges
and Receiver J. H. Booth, of the Rose

quest of Mr.. Heney. Heney reported
that Booth and Bridges by continuing
in office, were able to ''thwart the ends
of justice"
He said an investigation of that office
showed its affairs were. in bad shape,
and said that further investigation
should be had. The suspension of
Bridges and Booth virtually closes the
Roseburg land office, except for the fl
ing of papers.
This morning Secretary Hitchcock
took up the Roseburg case with the
president, and it is by the presidents s
order that radical action was taken, as
recommended by Heney. 1t is Heney
who will direct further investigation at
Roseburg.

Lane Wants Freight Rate Bill.

Eugene-The measure which seems
to be considered of most Importance by
the Lane county members of the legis-
lature is that of regulating freight
rates. All the members of the dele
cation will work for some bill in this
line, but just what bill it will be is yet
to be decided. Several bills are likely
to be proposed, and the members from
this county will select what appears to
be the best and push it vigorously.
This county during the past two years
has felt the effect of heavy and inequit-
able freight rates, and all realize that
it is time for something to be done in
the line of correction.
