K|BBEY AND
 KENT AGREE
 ON [. W.LEW|S
Phoenix Attorney Is Active Ap- plicant For Position On Ari- Zona Bench To Succeed Judge Nave.

PHOENIX. Jan. 2s-Ernest w. Lew is. prominent local attorney. is an as- pirant for the place to be vacated when Associate Judge F. $. Nave re- signs from the supreme bench of Arl- zona on April 1 next to return to the practice of law.
 In behalf of Lewis, petitions are being circulated by Attorney H. B. Wilkinson and others. and already a large number of local attorneys and leading Phoenix citizens have signed an appeal to PTesidentelect Taft to name Lewis as the successor of Nave.
 In some quarters an opinion pre- vails that Lewis Is already slated for the place, and when the name of the iuris is announced to assume the black gown, Nave will lay aside. it. is likely to be that of Lewis. who is said to have the backing of strong DO litical influence.
 Democrats as we'll as republicans have affixed their ndmes to the Lewis petition that is be.ng passed around by Wilkinson. He Hill have the solid support of the local bar. as well Rs that of lawyers in all parts of Ari. zona
 If Lewis is named it will mean that he must leave Phoenix and take up his residence in Globe, unless a re arrangement Of the judicial assign ments is made aud Lewis is given some other place than Globe, though should any change of this kind be made he will not remain in Phoenix.
 Both Governor Kfbbey and Chief Justice Kent are szfd to be backing Lewis in his Ambition to land on the bench. and with such powerful back ing as this, 1t is incfe than probable he will secure the. place. the salary for which is .s3000 per year.
 That Kibbey and Kent are aiding Lewis in his effort, to succeed Nave comes from source that is consid- cred authentic It ie even said that before Lewis let 1t be publicly known ghat he wanted the place he consultea bota Kent and Kibbey. and finding iihern favorable he lost no further time getting his friends to work
 Lewis is already well known in Ari- zona as an able young lawyer, who ifs qualified to give Judicial opinions on legal questions. Should he ascend to the bench he UiD be one of the youngest members who has yet taken a seat there.
 That Lewis has the support of the local bar regardless of politics. is shown by the fact that such leading local democratic lawyers as District Attorney Bullard and Assistant Dis trict Attorney Lyman signed his peti- ton late yesterday afternoon.

TERRITORIAL AND COUNTY NEWS
RAYMOND |S PESS|M|ST|C
 ABOUT STATEHOOD BILLS

tory data is furnished as to popula- ton, nativity, and, Lore particularly, illiteracy.
 ~One of the curious things which x-as brought out in debate three ioars ago and which may be heard lf more extensively when statehood 'esstlons come up for final disposi ton, is the fact that Arizona and New Mexico were not divided in any natur- Il sort of way at aii.
 'sThe boundary fine now runs north and south between two territories, but the original intertion was evident ly to divide them on an east and west line, and, in fact, that would have sat isfied both racial and natural condi- ent line.
 "A proposition for creation Of the two territories was made just at the tions much more than unuer the pres opening of the civIl war. and as sub mitted to congress provided for an east and west bouncary line.
 Tt is now evident that such divis- ion of territory would have been both natural and scientific The northern territory would have been great pla- i; teau country, distinctly temperate in !! climate The southern territory would 1 have been m ich lower. much nearer sea level, and with a distinct semi 1 tropical climate.
 The result woulf have been that the northern territory would have been American and the southern 1 Spanish. whereas. at present foreign blood is found almost indiscriminately : in the lower half of both territories.
 When number of states were created. owing to deficient maps or : because of whims nr local legislators, i there was Almost complete defiance iof natural boundary lines.
 As Senator BeYeridge once showed. Colorado was split CT the back with mountains and northern Michigan was part of Wisconsin.
 The argument of course is that ! nowadays, the railroad, the telegraph and perfected mail system have unit ed communities to such an extent that i mountains and lakes. and great rivers, are no longer obstacles which need to be taken into consideration. | Population the One Question.
 The one thing which will trouble the senate, and for which it is desired tO H1ll u1llt dlAef JIG CSlSuS ul AJiN, is the question of growth of popula tion in the proposed new states.
 Arizona in 1900 had 122,93i and New Mexico 195,sf0. Together they would not be entitled to two congress, men under the present apportionment and yet if they are made separate states, they will have four senators in addition to two congressman. Sen ators, therefore, want to wait for the census to find out definitely what has been the rate of increase between 1900 and 1910.
 They have already consented te the union Of Indian Territory and Ok lahoma with a combined population in 1900 of about S00.O00, and in spite of the pledge of the republican plat form there is a strong feeling still re maiDig that Arizona is not entitled tc statehood unless it shows a population increase sufficient to give it some in diyidual claims to Siatehood on tha ground. Therefore there is little pros peet of action prior to the winter O 19Io'

DOUGLAS MAY HAVE
 B|G DOLLAR DINNER

DOUGLAS. Jan. 2S.-tSpecial D. The Douglas chamber of commerce and mines is now nearing it's first birthday. The birth of this organiza. ton was promoted at what was known as a dollar dinner when more than two hundred Of the citizens and business men gathered at the Gads- den hotel, each hol.ling a ticket to the banquet room for which they paid one dollar. At this dinner there was much enthusiasm and mnch speech making and after all had been fed more than enc hundred and fifty signed for a membership in the Doug las chamber of commerce and mines. A temporary board of directors were appointed with Dr. r. T. Wright. as maae permanent.
 Since then the chamber has been a live feature of Douglas and it has ac complished much for the city. by bringing it's citizens and business meE in consultation froza time to time on matters pertaining to the welfare of Douglas.
 It has been suggested by some of ltff lucfuDtIr Ck tlls ClsdllDtI dlidt dll- other dollar dinner is the proper thing for marking the firsI anniversary o, this commercial organization, as a means of getting all it's members to- gether again for general review of the work of the past year and for the purpose of creating more enthusiasm in the work and inducing additional memberships.
 Said one of the members of the chamber today. regarding the propos- ed dollar dinner:
 There never was 8 time in the history of Douglas when there was greater opportunity for effective work by the chamber of commerce and mines; many things are coming up which will add greatly to the prom thence and prosperity of Douglas. Ali these matters will require attention from time to time by the people oi Douglas and there is no other medium by which so much can be accomplish ed for our city than by a live. ever Iat-work chamber Of commerce.
 While this organization has accom- plished considerable in the future there has been a lack of general in- terest among it's members. The. work has practically been left to the board of directors; for a time regular meet ings of the members of the chamber were held. but for some reason they were not well attended and recently no regular meetings of the members have been attempted
 ''The dollar dinner would no doubt bring out the members when the i'm portance of eetting the members to. gether in the future at least once a month could be taken up."
