ARIZONA MUST HAVE SINGLE
 STATEHOOD
No Kind Of Jointure Will Re- ceive Consideration, Says
 Assistant Secretary Collins,
 And He Speaks The Truth.

From the Washington Post of Sep tember 27th the folloing is taken;
 Arizona will not be reconciled to any proposition looking to joint State hood with any Territory" declared Lew W. Collins, assistant secretary or Arszona. at Ine New Willard iasl night. We want to come into the
 Union alone. or We don't want to come in at all. If the man who sug- gested that we be joined to Nevada were to come to Arizona. he would be run out of the Territory. In the first place. such a scheme IS geographical- ly impossible. Arizona is joined to Nevada by a narrow strip of land and this strip Is cut in two by the Grand Canyon of Arizona. while north,
 west of this canyon ss desert forty miles in length. What sort of State would that make. when the citizens of one part of it had to jump can. yon and cross a desert in order to get into the other part of 1t?
 So far as New Mexico is con cerned. Arizona has already expressed herself. The two Territories will never be joined with the consent of of Arizona. Our Territory is made up of 240,0G0 American citizens. while In New Mexico there are per. haps 100000 Anglo-Saxons and the rest Mexicans. One has to take along an interpreter to make himself under stood in the streets of New Mexico's cities. while in Arizona we speak the English language. Even with her greater population, New Mexico does not begin to compare with Arizona in wealth. Our wealth is at least one third greater than that of New Mex leo. although we haven't half so many people. and it is increasing with tremendous strides. In the last few years the taxable valuations have sn- creased nearly S50.000, 900. That Is going some. I think I want to em- phasize the position of Arizona on tr joint Statehood matter by giving some figures. and 1t is the first time the correct figures have been given.
 ''Ths total registration of voters in the last election was 32.7SS, and the total vote cast in the general election was 24.0s7. On the joint Statehood proposition 3,141 voted Yes and l6.265 No a majority of 13,124 against. It will be seen that the vote on the Statehood question was much less than in the general election and those in favor of joint Statehood num- bered only 3.141 out of total regis. tered vote of 32,7SS. or 9.5 per cent a 10 to l shot, practically We think out there that We are entitled to come into the Union on our own account. The people are grateful to The Wash ington Post for the stand it took in this matter. It would surprise many Eastern people 10 see our Territory. We think it is the richest country in the United States. much richer than Nevada. with it's boasted mines. Mon- tsna alone leads us sn copper produc- tion. and this year we will pass that State. The total value of our mining products last year was s53 .s01 .7Sl .27. Pretty good. we think"
 Mir. Collins. who was born in Maine has lived in Arizona for twenty-nine years. Not more than 150 people have lived there longer, he says.

FIGHT ON SALOON BEGINS IN
 PHOENIX
Ministers Organize For War And Call Upon pr, Henry of Los Angeles To Help Them Combat Evil.
(Phoenix Democrat.) )

 Believing that pubic sentiment is growing in favor of restricting the priyileses now enjoyed by the sa- looms. the members of the Phoenix Ministers association and the Anti. Halnnn ieagHa will make affnrfs thts coming winter to at least close the saloons part os the time.
 report to the effect that a peti. ton to the city council was being circulated today asking that the sa. looms be compelled to close on Sun. day and at 10 o'clock on week nights Is said to have caused much comment among the saloon men. It has been learned from authentic sources that this report is unfounded The people. who oppose saloons, have not yet fully marshalled their forces and 1t will be some time before ar. rangements are complete for making an onslaught upon them.
 Last spring the Ministers associa. ton considered the advisability of circulating a petition for Sunday closing. This petition was to have been laid before the city council and a vote of the people would have been taken upon 1t. But 1t was figured that before the election could be held so many people would have gone away for the summer that a fspre. sentative vote could hardly result and the matter was temporarily dropped.
 Just now the Ministers association Is planning to secure the services or pr. J, Q. Henry to aid them In their crusade. Hr Henry is a tenn perance evangelist who recently fin ished a tve-year campaign Tn ng- land, where 1t is said he met with phenomenal success,
 Since Returning to this country, Henry has accepted the pastorate of the first Baptist church .n Los Ange- les.
 The Ministers association is trying now to fix time for his coming Rev Govette. one of the foes of the saloons. wants to get him here .mme. diately ditch the territorial fair. and It IS probable that he will come then, or soon afterward.
 The plan is to have Dr. Henry preach here for ten days and nights working up enthusiasm among the temperance people.
 It Is intended to make formal an- uOuhSshent oI henrys coming at a massmeeting to be held in the near future for the purpose of creating public sentiment against the saloons, The meeting Is to be in charge of the Anti-Saloon league and the Ministers association. working in conjuncture.
 The licuor dealers are said to be agitated because of the crusade soon to be directed against them One of the most prominent saloon keeper in town was heard to remark that the temperance advocates are strong enough .n Phoenix to do anything they desire wits reference to the sa- looms.

(Tucson star.)


 George W. Atkinson. for soma lime a resident of Tucson, but also main. taining home at Calabasas. Santa Cruz county. where nearly half h.s tlme Is spent Ia looking after his ex. .ensiye ranch interests. tells a good stery of his early experiences in Ari. zons. South Dakota was none too well civilized or settled twenty-pIne years ago. but MT. Atkinson conelud. ed after being at Calabasas a week that he must be rather too much of a tenderfoot to live long Tn this climate. Within that time he had been held up and robbed twice, and had gone through all the motions Of being hanged once. In every case the law. breakers were Mexieans. and the number five. So the same gang prob ably did all the work.
 The imitation hanging matinee was pulled off in Mir. Atkinson's ranch house. In the evening. the rope being placed around his neck and over a beam on his failure to produce the money which they demanded. He told them that he had no money in the house. which was true, but the ungeDtlemanly robbers refused to take his word, and asserted that a shortage of breath would help hss memory and increase his Iiberality.
 It took the strength of all hands an- piled to the rope to lift the ranchman from the floor and Mir. Atkinson i'm proved his opportunity every time they started to stretch his neck by grzsping the rope above his head and taking off the strain
 He says he never could understand why they failed to tse his hands. Hss they done SO there would have speed fly been a dead ranchman at Gala abasas. They soon grew weary of the contest and disappeared. fl is interesting to note that soon after one Of the gang was killed in Mexico. and the remainder arrived in the Yuma prison fn due course. when they were fortunately all sent over the Great Divide while attempting 10 escape. Here is where Mr. Atkinson had the laugh on them.
 incidentally Mr. Atkinson said that with grass and water plenty down ia his country. stock was looking fine. and that a shipment Of cattle would soon be made from his ranch at sat- ls factory prices-s15 for yearl.ngs. SIS for tvo<year-olds, and t21 for They expect 10 brand

SCHOOLS WERE CLOSED.
And Large Percentage Absent from
 Crosby High To-day.


 Although the gong sounded this morning and at noon informing the children of the grammar grades that there would be no school to-day, still Crosby High had It's regular session. The attendance was only about one fifth of its usual number, while four of the teachers were among the ab- sentees. The pupils of the High school, and for that matter several of the teachers, see no reason why they should be compelled to leave their homes in such weather as was sent this way to-day. Invariably only one- fourth or one-fifth of the High school students are in school on day when the gong is sounded for no school for the grammar grades. Almost all the classes are affected to a considerable extent and as a rule the lesson goes over to the next day. In other cities of the state when the gong sounds for the grammar grades it holds good also for the high school pupils. Su- perintendent of Schoals B. w. Tinker since he has seen the effect that the blowing of the gong has on the at tendance at Crosby. will in all proba- bility have it brought about so that Crosby will not be in session when the grammar grades are allowed to remain at home. Principal s. w. Wilby would undoubtedly agree to the no session on gong day.

CRAIG w1IMER DEAD.
He Was the First Amateur Athlete to
 Run 100 Yards in 10 Seconds.

William Craig Wilmer, the first man in America to run 100 yards In 10 seconds, died on Saturday. He was one of the best known of the early amateur athletes of the coun- try, and contemporary with Father Bill Curtis, Harry Buermeyer and others who formed the New York A. lC. and placed athletics on a firm basis in this country.
 It was in 1878 that Wilmer first ran 100 yards in 10 seconds. The performance captured for him the 100 yard championship, and the same afternoon he also won the 220 yards in 227s seconds and the broad jump with IS feet inches. This was the year preceding the appearance on the cinder track of the great L. E. Meyers, who for many years after ward accounted for most of the short distance events on the championship program.
 Craig Wilmer was member of the Short Hills A. C., prominent ath- letic organization of those days. Fu- neral services were held to-day at II O oclock at St Paul's church. Clinton and Carroll streets. Brooklyn. N. '.
