Nsw Mckee and ArIzeaa.

The opposition Of the people Of the
territories of New Mexico and Ari-
zona to admission to the union as
one state, and the good reasons the
people Of those territories are advan-
cling why such action should not be
taken, reminds US of the agitation on
the same question that one time pre-
vailed in the Dakotas. Practically
the same reasons were advanced bv
the people OF North and South OAK
ota against admission as one state.
The chief reason was geographical
and that the residents of the Dakotas
had never desired to be admitted as
one state and the territory was great
enough in every thing chat c0nstitu-
ted material, for two states. The
jealousy of the people Of New Eng
land to the increase in the vote In the
/ u. s. senate in the admission OF new
western states was shown, in the
1 opposition to the admission Of the
iD2kosas, and is also shown in the
present case Of Arizona and New
nkaxico. There is no reason why
'those two territories should not be
admitted in time and as states both
are willing to wait With them rad
'~ilkl and geographical reasons are
more noticeable objections to 1.-THE one
state plan than In the case Of the
EDakotas, where now no one questions
the " wisdom of the admission Of two
|fstates instead Of one. The greatest
reason against the admission Of the
southern sisters is their climate and
smallness of, population. The latter

Jam stown Wins Again.

Last Saturday night the Armory
was the scene of very close and ex-
citing game of basket ball played be-
I tween the home boys and the Fargo
steam. The Fargo boys we're a husky
looking team and gave our five a
strong fight. However, thruout the
game, Jamestown kept ahead. altho
at times the score was very close.
both sides did fine team work and
every boy deserves praise for good
playing. When time was called the
score stood 20 to l6 in Jamestown's s
favor. In the second half, Fargo put
in substitute who did some very
good work and led his guard a lively
chase. But our boys: in response to
the rootcrs, ''gingered up" and won
the game by a score of Al to 36.
The game was certainly the best
one ever played here, and while it
was very close and exciting, let it
be said to the credit of the small
boys that the roofing was very order
ly. During the aftern oon the visit
ors were driven up to the asylum and
taken thru the buildings.
