Reaching Toward the Mayo River.

A press telegram from El Paso dated the 18th inst, is of interest as showing the probable objective point upon the Gulf of California aimed to be reached by the Pearson lines of railway building now in Chihuahua. It is reproduced as follows:
 Doctor Frank s. Pearson, whose big financial ventures in Mexico have made his name a household one in the investment and develop ment world on the American con. tinent, last night stated that work had commenced on the 300 miles of road west from Minaca to the Gulf of California which is to give El Paso an outlet to the Pacific coast through the richest minera and agricultural regions of the sister republic.
 Dr. Pearson, when seen by g Times reporter in his private cal Mayhower, last night said:

srArEHooD's PROSPECTS.

Last week there came in the public press the full text of the new statehood bill introduced into Con- gress on the second pr third day of the session by Representative Hamilton of the House committee on territories. Its receipt at Mo- gales was too late for allusion or mention by THE OASIS in the issue of last week Saturday.
 The intimation is conveyed that the bill was drawn in the White House, and that the President, with Secretary Ballinger and Representative Hamilton collabor- ated in it's preparation, with an assurance in advance that the enabling act carried in the bill will meet executive approval. The new measure comes in for more or less criticism upon the part of some of the Arizona newspapers-particu- larly those of populistic or social istic tendencies. They rebel at the idea that there shall be put upon the people of Arizona any restraint in the matter of framing state constitution. To THE OASIS it seems that criticism and fault find ing are out of place at this time Statehood is boon and privilege for which the people of Arizona are suing; it is not right. The main issue now is to get statehood some how or any way. When Arizona has become sovereign state hel people can amend their constitu. tion to suit themselves, if the kinC that will meet the presidential approval does not.
 Our over jealous friends in Ali zona should not forget that whil, the national republican platform pledged immediate statehood" t Arizona and New Mexico, tha pledge was forced in the committe on resolutions over an adverse re port from the subcommittee, an, that it was by the use of the Hitch cock steam roller only that tn

other officers as shall have been prescribed by the convention, said election to be not less than thirty nor more than one hundred and twenty days after the ratification election.
 If the constitution and govern ment of the proposed state are republican in form and not in con flict with the constitution of the United States, and all the provi- sious of the enabling act have been observed, within twenty days after receipt of the election for ratifica- tion, the President shall proclaim the new state: and until the state officers are elected and have quail fled the territorial government shall continue, as also will the delegatei in Congress elected in 1908. The legislature elected will select United States senators, the proper officers of the new state govern ment will certify their election, and the election of the two con- gressmen provided in the enabling act.
 Liberal provisions for public in- stitutions and donations of public lands for their maintenance and support are incorporated in the enabling act.
 All accounts indicate the bill will pass, and the people of Ari- zona will vote for ratification or rejection of a constitution in No vember of next year. The election for state officers will come later The avowed object of holding two elections is that the people shall pass upon a constitution without having up for consideration any other question, such as would arise surely were election for state off. cers, legislature and congressmer be held at the same time. So ever with the utmost speed it will bt the first of January, 1911, or later before the wheels of the new stat, government will begin turning.

liminary survey for this road has already been begun. The geogra- phical situation of the country is such that many difficult problems in civil engineering will have to be solved, and it is impossible to tell at the present time just how long it will be before the road is com pleted through to the Gulf of Cal ifornia. The work, however, will be rushed and it will be done thor oughly, the best of material being used in its construction.
 "One of our chief aims will be to promote agriculture. We are ex- perimenting in irrigation projects and will undoubtedly construct several large reservoirs along the road we are now building through the Casas Grandes district. It is our intention to make all of this land desirable for farming purposes so that it will be taken up and tiled"
 Following is the route of the Pearson line when completed to the Gulf of California:
 Over the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific to Terrazas, where 134 miles of the road is be- ing built to Madeira to connect with the Sierra Madre and Pacific. The Sierra Madre and Pacific will be followed to Temosachic, where the Chihuahua and Pacific will be followed to La Junta, where a short branch connects with Minaca. The completed railroads and branches between here and Minaca are now owned in their intirety by Dr. Pearson and the interests he represents. The road which will connect them with the Gulf of California in the neighborhood of the mouth of the Rio Mayo will be 300 miles in length. It will con- meet with the branch road running from La Junta to Minaca and will give the Pearsons a direct route from Juarez to the Pacific coast of
 Mexico. The road is expected to result advantageously to El Paso as much shipping in and out of
 Mexico will be done over it.
 Speaking of the commercial ad-
 vantages of the road last night,
 Dr. Pearson said:
 q believe that both El Paso and
 Chihuahua will be greatly bene-
 fitted from a business standpoint
 with the completion of the road. A
 great mineral district will be open
 ed up and much mining machinery will be purchased from El Paso.
 The smelters will help Chihuahua. Dr. Pearson is typical Britisher. He is conservative and unassum- ing, and unlike the majority of American fnanciers, prefers not to talk about his exploits. He is re-
 turning to London after an inspec- tion of his properties in Mexico. , Quietly, and with practically no announcement of his plans, Doctor Pearson, displaying a remarkable faith in a but little developed ' country, has invested millions of ] dollars in cash in Mexico in the a construction of railroads and the 3 building of giant sawmills and Tn 2 other investments. With him are 1 associated some of the biggest men 8 of England.

ed the platform as whole, for the program was that all questions should be settled in committee. In the convention there was likewise a strong element opposed to state hood for the territories. Like the majority in the subcommittee on resolutions and the minority in the full committee-and it was a scant majority, that element felt that issue was forced, and it gave grudging acquiesence. That ele, ment is very strong in the Senate, and the best thing for Arizonans to do, if they desire statehood, will be to avoid arousing latent and dor mant hostility in any quarter.
 Nor should our friends forget that in the Senate are diverse and antagonistic elements that would unite against statehood for Arizona, if given the least provocation or excuse. The coterie of senators headed by Aldrich of Rhode Island want no more Western senators to oppose their plans for enactment of a financial measure in accord ance with their desires; while the insurgent senators-Beveridge, Cummins, LaFollette, and others want no more corporation senators: and senators from Arizona, whether democrats or republicans, will be men with affiliations with or lean ings toward corporations. So there stand in the Senate two strong and antagonistic elements ready tc l
 unite in killing statehood for Ari. zona and New Mexico, if given the least excuse-they can make tht opportunity.
 With clear knowledge of the facts stated THE OASIS advises tha' the correct course for Arizona anC Arizonans to pursue will be to urge enactment of the bill now before
 the House committee on territories
 to which it was referred and urg'
 its speedy enactment.
 The Arizona bill provides for {
 constitutional convention of on,
 hundred delegates, apportioned t
 the various counties according t
 population. Within thirty day
 after approval of the act the gover
 nor will call an election of dele
 gates to be held within sixty day
 after approval of the act. Tn delegates are to assemble in con vention at Phoenix the fourt
 Monday after their election, an will receive compensation for sixt } days only. The constitution frame is to be submitted to a vote of tn ) people in the regular Novembe t election. If the people ratify tn 3 constitution then an election is : be called for a full state goverr ment, including legislature and on . member of Congress, to be electe g at large, and such county. an

COURT INQUIRY BILL
INTRODUCED BY FORAKER

Washington, Feb. 1.-When the
Senate met today great interest was
manifested as to the outcome of Sem
ator Foraker's efforts to have day
fixed for the consideration of the AL
drich substitute bill providing for a
court inquiry to determine which OF
the discharged soldiers of the Twen-
ty-fifth regiment Of infantry should
be re-inlisted. On the Democratic
side there is a united opposition
against the passage of any measure
looking to the re-enlistment of the ne
gro soldiers. The Democrats express
ed the view that as several investiga-
tions have resulted in a failure to de-
termine the guilty men in the regi-
ment although it was found that some
men of the regiment "shot up" Browns
vile, it would be manifestly impos-
sible for any court of inquiry to act
intelligently on the subject unless ad-
ditional evidence were obtained.
On the Republican side the substi-
tute bill was made a party measure
and will probably have the full Re-
publican vote.

SlXTY.TWO SENATOR'S
FOR Statehood
Poll of the Upper House Made By
Friends Of Enabling Act-Situa-
tion Very Hopeful.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The friends Of
separate statehood for Arizona anC
New Mexico, refusing to be discour
aged by the assurance Of the Senate
leaders that no statehood Legislation
could pass at this session, have been
conducting quiet poll of the Senate
and they say they have found sixty.
Two Senators, constituting two-thirds
OF the total membership, prepared to
vote for bill granting separate state
mood to these two territories. In the
light of this poll, the House leaders
have consented TO pass the bill at
their end of the Capitol, and doubtless
an effort will be made to get it
through the Senate, although it is ap-
preciated that under the Senate rules,
its passage may be prevented There
10 some question, too, as to whether
those who say they will be for such a
bill if vote is reached will vote to
make it the unfinished business"
which would be necessary in order to
get ballot, thus dispacing other
legislation which may be considered
more important.
The confidential poll of the Senate
shows the following Senators in ia
vor of the bill, provided vote can
be reached.

A BUNDLE Of CEASELESS ENERGY
A Native Young Blood Who Has
Iirelessly and Zealously Forged
His Way Ahead

Active, accomplished men are al
ways in great demand, so it is not to
be wondered at that George w. Ar
milo was pressed into service to act
as assistant chief clerk of the House.
The selection was one that could not
be improved upon, for Armijo not only
possesses a very good education and
speaks both English and Spanish flu
emily, but he is thoroughly posted on
all territorial matters. Agreeable, af-
fable and at all times ready to accom-
modate those who come to him, he has
naturally found a deeply rooted place
in the affections of all who come in
contact with him. He is natural
born humorist and appreciates moth
ing better than a good joke. His hui
NOR has time and again proved a saw
ing grace and comes in opportunely,

and eX-officio recorder, his patience is

veXng matters SO common in an office
of that kind. AS clerk of the probate
court he has been thoroughly efficient
and has shown that he we'll merited
the character given him by President
Roosevelt, himself, who, as colonel of
the regiment in which Armijo saw ac-
tive service in Cuba during the Span
ish war, wrote in the discharge of the
latter: "a thoroughly reliable man"
Could anyone ask for better recon-
mendation than that? Yet, Armijo is
justly deserving of any complaint that
can be given him, for he is hard
working, conscientious public servant.
He is only thirty-two years old having
been born in Peralta, Valencia county
on March 16, 1877. He comes of a
well known and prominent family his
people having had very much to do
with the building up of New Mexico

UNsENTIMENTAL, IS
WHEEL OF PROGRESS
Historical Hotel Is to Be Torn Down
to Make Way for a Modern
Structure.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The old Sherman
House, famous all over the country, is
to be torn down and two-millon
dollar structure erected in its place.
Definite plans to this effect have been
adopted, although the actual work of
tearing down the historic structure
will not be commenced until the new
year. Not even the old name of the
place is to remain. Along with other
changes the name Sherman House is
to be changed to Hotel Sherman, and
the leather cushioned chairs of the
lobby where many political schemes
have been hatched and where theatre
cal stars were often created over
night will become mere memories OF
the past.
