According to reports from Los Angeles, Charles P. Stewart, for merly deputy collector of customs at Nogales, Is winning fame in that city, and present indications are that he will win fortune as we'll NIT. Stewart, who is a chemist. has discovered a process by which sugar is manufactured from char coal and water. The National Sugar company, with the inventor of the process as vice-president and general manager, has been organ ized. a small demonstrating plant constructed and demonstration made of the practia bility of the project.
 l he Los Angeles Record, going into detail, says:
 "Mr Stewart put 32 pounds of charcoal into the retort and started the fire under his water boiler Twenty five minutes later, when things were getting hot, he started the air compressor. which forced the gases from the boiler and retorl into tank Then he let the com pressed gas flow past the electrodes and fine spray of powdered sugar burst from the end of the pipe. Thirty minutes later il cea sed. The entire output was about 70 pounds of sugar.

SMITH AND STATEHOOD"

Marcus A. Smith, AriZona's dele gate to congress, Is the happiest man in the territory. Smith is going around with his face wreathed lu smiles, which reach from ear tu ear, and butloned up in his inside pocket Is copy of the letter Roosevelt wrote to Governor kib- hey, saying: "rIl be good, il you'll be good to me-"
 The first praise for Arizona s escape from joint statehood Is due tn Marcus A. Smith. He carried the heaviest load and fought the hardest fight.
 No one wants to take one iota of credit away from Arlzona's dele 1, gate, and republicans as well as democrats returned from Washing ton, af fier that memorable strugg le against the power of the aduinis- tration, ali of them singing the praises of Mark Smilh's popularity md power in Washington.
 Arizona's delegate was in Los Angeles recently. How about statehood now, Mark?" was the question asked, and this is what Arizona's representative had to ga y 'n the subject:
 ''I am heartily glad of the presi- ients assurance that no effort will be made again by him this winter to force distasteful and disastrous union of Arizona and New Mexico. N hI!e democrats are grateful for that assurance, we see no particular virtue in 1t.
 "How could the president, who signed the bill leaving the question of the union of these territories to their votes counted separately turn now in the face of the over whelning vote cast by Arizona against the measure and insist that, notwithstanding the vote. notwith- standing that he sigLed the bill for d separate vote, come before cou- gress with a proposition that will undo all the results of the long fight and proceed to pass a law forcing Arizona into the dreaded alliance? What could such an effort avail-unless the senate was willing to likewise go back on it's action and stultify itself for all time.
 "I am not much afraid of any effort being made to unite the two territories during the next congress A presidential election Is approach ing and congress will be busy and so will presidential candidates, The votes of the territories may be the deciding votes in the next national conventions. No one could reasona ply hope to get a republica n delegation from Arizona who would now try 10 force on her the ruil she has just tsca ped through sucl trial and ptin.
 Il think 1 See the outlines of an Ethiopian in the woodpile. The man who deserves the vote of the Arizona delega ton in the nationa nominating convention next year is the man who will not merely 1 promise not To murder her, but who will definitely promise her separate. individual and independ -nt statehood.
 The man or the party wh' would longer persist in doius wrong and injustice to Arizona should receive no aid or comfort il. their raid on her rights. 1 hay, con fdence in the honesty, patriot ism and courage of the rank and hle of the republican party il, Arizona. We shall see whai happens. ."-Phoenix Gazette.

LATEST JOINTlST STORY

Washington, D. C., Sept. g. President Ruoseyelt's action in announcing that, SO far as the national administration is con cerned, there Is no intention of further insisting upon joint state hood for New Mexico and Arizona was a direct result of the ohser vations of James Garfield. secretary of the interior, while on his south western trip. Arizona will now try to be joired to Nevada.
 It appears that some of the yer. good friends of the president talkeu with him few months ago, sine, the result of the vote on accept ance of joint statehood has beer known, assuring him that he made a grave take in supposing that it would be best for the people oi the territories to accept joint state hood.
 The president had been told that it was the great corporations wh, sought to escape the increased taxation of statehood, who wer, behind the movement. Now tn, president has heard from Mir. Gar field that this is not the real con dition-that the people generally oppose joint statehood. He has been told that if the congress oi the United States, through dis appointment over the failure to bring about joint statehood, show S a disposition to withhold statehood honors for Arizona, entirely new and novel proposals will be made This is nothing short of union of Nevada and Arizona into one state. The measure will be offered by representatives of the very people who have opposed the New Mexico Arizona joint statehood
 The Arizona people told MT Garfield that almost any fatt would be more acceptable to then than that or being united with New Mexico and the natives, whc inhab bit that territory and who art said to be not in sympathy witt American institutions. The Ari zona people say that in proposing to be united with Nevada they art willing to accept the constitution under the same conditions, as the, believe d ma jority can be found in Arizona and Nevada accepting such jointure.
 The report of Mir. Garfield, while largely the basis of the announce ment and changed attitude of the administration, is not alone the prompting cause of the administra- tion's change of front. It seems that some of the federal appointees of the administra tion, taking their cue from the presidents attitude in the past. have conducted a pro paganda in favor of joint state hood. They. Were seemingly war ranted in this by letter which the president wrote to Arizona in the course of which he said:
 My earnest hope is that tht people of the territory of Arizona will decide to enter the union as a part of the great state of Arizona l feel that for them to now refuse to come into the upion as states would be. at the'' best, mere folly. They condemn themselves to all indefinite continuance of tutelaye."
