ton next month. -Four of the plants in
the new association are the largest of the
kind in the world.

STATEHOOD IN
THE NEAR FUTURE
Governor klbbey Passes Through
New Mexico on Way Home From
Conference With President.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Nov. 4.-Gover
nor J. II. Kibbey, of Arizona, passed
through this city yesterday noon on
the California Limited en- route tc
Phoenix from Vicksburg, Mississippi
where he went to confer with Presi
dent Roosevelt While Governor
Kibbey refrained from going into de
tail regarding his conference with
the President he did express the
opinion that New Mexico and Arizona
would get statehood in the near fu
ture. He said:
Statehood Is bound TO come TO the
territories sooner Or later and
when 1t comes they will be
admitted as two separate states.
Just now, however, the matter
seems to be up In the air, and
do not expect any action to be taken
at the next session of congress, al.
though believe we will be admitted
before very long.
Il talked with President Roosevelt
at Vicksburg about statehood for the
territories. While the President is
in favor of separate statehood for
New Mexico and Arizona, and while
he takes an encouraging view of our
prospects for admission, he does not
entertain much hope that we will be
admitted by the next congress.

the air shaft, isolated from the rest OF
the workings, man who was stand

ONE MORE STAR
FOR OLD GLORY
New State OF Oklahoma Will Be Mum.
Der Forty.Sx and in the Lower
Right Hand Corner.

Washington, Nov. 4.-With the ad
mission of Oklahoma into the uniol
another star must be added to the un
ion, or blue field, Of the national flag
but, under the law, the change will no
be made until July 4, next, despite the
fact that actual statehood will be &C
complished November 1G.
Arrangements have already beer
made for the change in the flag, BY
which the number Of stars represent
Ing sovereign states is increased from
forty-fve, the present number, to
fortysix. The existing arrangement
of the stars has obtained since July
4, 1896, on which date a star was add.
ed to the flag to mark the admission
of Utah to the union in the preceding
March
The rearrangement of the stars to
meet the case Of Oklahoma was made
last summer by a Joint board of army
and navy officers, Of which Admiral
Dewey was chairman by virtue of his
rank. The decision of the board,
which was afterwards approved by the
secretaries OF war, navy and the presi-
dent in turn, was that the forty-sixth
star, or Oklahoma star, be placed at
the lower right.hand corner of the blue
field Of the flag.
The problem solved by the board
was as to the best method of add.
ing the new star with the least pos.
sible disturbance of the existing ar.
rangement, and at the same time OBJ.
tain semmethical design.
