JOINT STATEHOOD OPPOSED
Governor of Arizona Says Sentiment IL
Stronger Now Than Ever
Before.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1-''Nearly year
has pessed since the election which de-
feated the proposition Of Joint statehood.
and I deem II my duty to report the fact
that public sentiment in Arizona is now
even stronger against Joint statehood with
New Mexico than It was last year" says
Governor Joseph II. Kibbey, Of Arizona
territory In his annual report to the secre-
tary OF the interior, made public today.
The report states that the last year was
undoubtedly the most prosperous the terri
tory has ever known. The present popula-
ton is given as approximately $4,000, in
cludlng about 5000 Indians. On June 30.
1907, the cash in the territorial treasury
amounted to $685. O5.e5 against $27s. 1870 the
previous year.
OF the closing Of gambling in the terri
tory April ], responsive to an act OF the
legislature, Governor Kibbey says:
This made April 1. 1907, an historic date
I'm the territory, for until then gambling
had been conducted everywhere in q wide
open manner, the doors of the gambling
houses being open every day and night of
the year. The abolition OF gambling was
in response to pronounced public sentiment
and l regard 1t as a fact NOSE creditable
to our people that not only was the new
law instantly obeyed by the gamblers
themselves, but that there has ben no at
tempt anywhere to evade the law"

DEFICIT IN POSTAL REVENUE
Department Lacks SIX and = Half
Millions Of Paying Its
Expense Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-If the amount
lost by fire. burglary, etc, is added to the
ordinary excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts, including expenditures during the
year on account OF previous fiscal years
the gross deficit in the postal service dur
ing the year 1907 viii aggregate sss92, ,OS1 a.
The third assistant postmaster general
Hon. A. l. Lawshe, IN his annual report,
gives the above figures and with It he
quotes the amount OF the postal deficit IN
1896. which was SO, SIC 905. s4-,just 1918 per
cent higher than the excess OF expandi-
lures over the receipts of the postal SER
vice for the curr.ut year. The outstand-
Ing liabilities at the close OF the ysars how
ever, are not Included in tho statement
These will aggregate almost SSOO00O The
total postal revenue for 1907 shows an IN
crease of s15,66s, ,S47.SO over the year 1905
The third assistant postmaster general
goes at length into a discussion of the
troubles which vex publishers and those
who have to do with the seoond-class
postage rates. A ruling has been made In
regard to the sample copies of newspapers
and periodicals which will be put in force
in a few days. 1t is in effect that the
publisher shall be allowed TO mail sample
copies at the pound rate to a limit Of 10
peE cent oI ms ODnd loe subscription
list. There are also some rules imposed
which relate to expired subscriptions and
limit the time in which the department
shall carry papers to these dtlinquents at
the pound rate.
It is recommended that the money order
system be extended TO every postoffice in
the United States. "An postoffices trans
act registry business" said Mr.. Lawshe,
why not money order businessT' The
great usefulness OF the money order system
is shown In the statement that during
the present year $50, ,O69,7 ,7U3 in money orders
was Issued This is an increase OF nearly
1900, 900 over the issue OF 1906.
The passage of bill providing for form
of postal note, whereby sums os money less
than s9.50 may be sent through the mail
cheaply, is recommended.

OKLAHOMA's FIRST SPEAKER
William II. Murray, Father OF Com
stitutiOn, ChOaen to Preside
over Legislature.

GUTHRIE, OlS1. Dec, I-tSpecial. 1.-THE
democratic house caucus Of the first legis-
lature Of Oklahoma met I'm the city hall,
where the constitution OF the new state
was written. to plan the party organiza-
tion Of the lower house. at O'Clock to-
night. Hon. William IT. Murray of Tisho-
mingo, familiarly known as "Alfalfa Bill, /"
who was president OF the Oklahoma con-
stitutional convention. was elected by ao-
olamation speaker of the frst legislature,
which will convene Monday. December 2
The new speaker is native OF Texas.
He was IS years old on the list inst His
career in Oklahoma politics is unique, from
the standpoint that he has no apparent de-
sire for political promotion, but is elected
to office without making a contest. When
the convention adjourned he disreEarded
the popular demand to run for governor OF
United States Senator and took the stump
for c. N. Haskell. the FIRST governor Of
the state. As another peculiar illustra-
ton Of his apparent desire to shirk public
Office. unlike most politicians, he with
drew his brother. who was a candidate
for labor commissioner, ten days before
the primaries. The brothers name re-
malned on most OF the county tickets, and
through the popularity of the president Of
the convention he was nominated by 5000
majority after thus being withdrawn, and
after the nomination Murray again said
that although the people. had voted for
his brother, II wasn't fair and he ought
to withdraw, ana withdrew him again.
He was put ON the ticket In Johnston
county for the legislature. over his pro-
test, when his homo people learned he
wouldn't run for any other position, and
was nominated In a blanket primary over
three active and avowed opponents. In
the same way he has been nominated for
speaker by the democratic house caucus
consisting OF ninety-one members out Of
lOs, and will thus be enabled to shape the
statutes OF the state as he shaped its oon-
stitution. He is now sometimes called
'"rhe Father of the Constitution"
The first speaker Is q lawyer by profess
sion, but retired from the practice Of law
about five years ago, since which time he
has been a practical improved farmer and
stockraiser on his farm near Tishomingo.

REPORT ON PUBLIc LAMBS
Government l. DOinE Best it Can
60 Restrain Fraudulent
Practices.

WASHINGTON. Dec. THE report OF
the commissioner general OF the innd
office, r. A Ballinger. for the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1897. was made public
today. 1t shows that subsequent to
March 4 more than 2,OOO, 600 acres OF pub
lie lands. previously held under blanket
orders Of suspension, were restored to
entry. Nearly lo.OOO,OOO acres were re-
leased from forestry withdrawal in the
same period.
THE most rigorous EFFORT" said the
commissioner general, "is being made with
the force at my command to restrain un-
lawful and fraudulent practices in the
public land states and TO secure evidence
to prosecute thss guilty of violation Of
the law. The field force is totally In
adequate in numbers to reach all such
onenses; hence the gross Offenders are
more particularly ought for"
The report condemns an obsolete and
absurd some Of the existing land laws,
In particular the act of March 8, 1874,
governing the patenting of coal lands.
Title having passed, the government
possesses no guaranty that a public util-
ity the coal, can be made available to
upply the MARKET on the contrary, these
lands have almost uniformly passed into
the hands OF Spectators or large COM
binations controlling the output or the
transportation, so that the consumer is
at the mercy Of both in the greater por-
ton Of the west" said the report.
The inducements for much OF the crime
and fraud committed under the present
system can be prevented by separating
the right to mine from the title to the
soil"
The report shows the total cash receipts
for the year from the disposal OF public
lands to have been S9.547,97s. Misoellane-
Gus receipts, including sales of Indian
lands, were t2,OO5,9O4; a grand total OF
Sll,bbS,i77, representing an increase OF
$S,p67,6b4 in the total receipts over the
preceding year. or 52.s per cent.
The total area of the land disposed of
during the year was 20,997,566 acres,
an Increase over 1906 of 1,556,S79 acres,
There are now 1853 national forests (for-
merly called forest reserves) created by
presidential proclamation, embracing
150,sS1,665 acres. The total Increase In
the area OF the national forests since the
last annual report is 4s,ss2,2I2 acres.
The report concludes with these data Of
future opening Of Indian lands to settle
ment, already provided for by congress:
Colville reservation, Washington, about
100000 acres, will be opened in a year
or so; F1athead reservation, Montana,
sbout 100000 acres. will be opened in
1908; Yakima reservation, Washington,
about 1,145,Oo0 acres, time for opening
not yet fixed; Blackfoot reservation, Mon
tana, about 100000 acres. may be opened
in 1905; Cour DAlene reservation, Idaho.
$4,000 acreE. probably be opened in the
fal OF 1908; Rosebud reservation, South
Dakota, about sS5,OO0 acres, win be
