The Situation of
 The Statehood Bill

A Washington dispatch says: "rhs outlook for statehood legislation beginning to discourage some of the friends of the measure. who until no~ have been extremely ssnguine of the passing of some form of legislation that would admit Oklahoma and h. dian Territory, whether the other two territories were admitted or not. A severe dsmper has been cast upon the situation by the fact that Senator Beyeridge, the head of the conferrees having the bill in charge, recently de clsred in private that the conference committee would make no report at this session. This statement was made to members of congress who have been standing by the administration policy up to the present time, and wh' were severely nonplussed by the sen stor's statement.
 "This attitude on the part of thu Indiana senator is creating a vast dea of surprise.
 "The situation at the present tim is more acute ,hsc ct any stage the fight. Since it assumed its pres ent form it will De necessary to rous every friend of the measure in orde to overcome Mir. Beveridges opposi tion. Heretofore it has been though that the conferrees were only delayin action until the rate bill is out of tn way"

Arizona Cattle Sent
 to San Francisco

A story has come to light which only goes to prove the allegations made by the Mexican government that Yaqui Indians are being furnished with arms and ammunition by Ameri- can. and are taking them into Mexico constantly.
 he latter part of last week, ac- cOrding to vel, authenticated s.ats. ment, Manuel Amsda, one of the wealthiest cattlemen m tine territory, residing at Beunas Ayres in Pima county, ~hile out riding near Jslisco, came upon a band of twenty-five Ysquis. mounted and having with them, as far as he could count. thirty cases Of Winchester rifles and large amount of ammunition. Each Of the cases cont ined about two dozen rifles.
 The Indians being on American ter ritory ard we'll aware of the fact, were entirely friendly with with Armada and did not offer to molest him in any way.
 It is stated on what should be good authority that arms are being shipped to people in Tucson, who make thou sands of dollars each year by supply ing the Ysquis, who have their agents ID that city to purchsrss ar for them and start them on the Toad.
 Some distance out of Tue on the arms ar started on their ~sy to the Yaqui stronghold in the district near Hermosillo and Gusymxs, being taken through tte Altar district, which is such barren and ard waste that it is impossible for any but an Indian to follow and live. Th:s makes It doubiy hard for che Mexican soldiers to stop she smuggling in' Son.ors.
 It has been SSS.ted Dy people ia- miliar ~il!hs sisuaslon aud condi- tions that the only way to stop the importation of American srms into Sonora IS for the government to take the matter up ss affecting the Ameri- can pubic and establish . patrol be- tween Yuma and Nogsies to go, up and down the line ard see that the l..disns get no srms from tnis side.

Publicity Attracts
 Settlers to Arizona

Reports from New Mexico say tfat settlers are coming into that territory st the rate of 5000 per month. One tbousand entries of homesteads were, it is said, made at the federal land office in one month. From different portions of Arizona, especially the Sulphur Springs valley. come similar statements tending to show that Ari- zons is being settled up. It has been said that the fsvora ble publicity re. ceived by the two territories during the progress of the joint stxtehood de- bate has aided more or less in this mi. grafton southweitward.
 Whether or not this theory is cor 1. rect, it is certain that another factor is steadily at work assisting in the set. clement and development of the grea, southwestern plateau. This actor is the Campbell system of dry farming It is claimed that this syste T, if prop. erIy employed, will bring m st excel lent results in farming.
 The following good description oi the Campbell method is taken from the Fl Paso Herald:
 The system, as it LOW generally known. is based on the storage of rain water in the soil itself. A tract is plowed deeply and the surface thor oughly worked over aud palverized. It is then allow ed to lie for a year, catching the rains, and the surface is kept in pulverized condition to pre- vent evaporation.
 After the years storage the tract is seeded and crops are then brought to maturity by the ordinary rainfall, which is thus added for the benefit Of the plant to tn, water stored in the soil.
 The process has been used for . year or two in the Pecos and MesiIls valleys in New Mexico, and the re suits have far excee. ed expectations. Now tt is being applied in the up- lands.
 A large proportion of those recent ly Bling on land in New Mexico have signified their intentions of farming by the use of the Campbell method.
