Mankato has secured the ladies' SEM
mary and conservatory of music that is
to be erected by the Evangelical Luther
an Educational association of number
of the northwest and middle west states
This was decided upon at meeting of
the site and building committee of the
association, that lasted until three
o'clock this morning. The decision locat-
ing the institution in Mankato was unan-
imous. The city had complied with
the conditions prescribed by the asso-
citation, in offering suitable site and in
the raising of a sufficient bonus, and
there was no other action that could
be consistently taken by the COM
mittee. The only conditions that are to
be complied with are that the city ex-
tend the sewer and water systems to the
location chosen and that a guarantee be
secured from the Mankato Electric rail
way company to extend it's line to the
site. These conditions are comparative
ly easy of accomplishment, and there
can be no question but what they will
be complied with.
VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS.
The vote on the location of the in
stitution in Mankato was taken shortly
before six o'clock last evening, after a
full discussion. The next matter taken
up was that of the prompt erection of
the buildings. The plans have been
prepared by Architect Schippel, and
have therefore been described in de-
tail. The specifications and plans will
be gotten in readiness by Aug. IS, and
it was decided to open bids Aug 30 at
p. m. for the construction of the
dormitory and administration buildings.
the recitation hall and conservatory of
music complete, and separate bids for
the foundations alone for the same
buildings. 1t is proposed to put the
foundations in this fall, and work will
begin in September. This makes it i'm
perative that a site be definitely selected
promptly.
The administration building is to be
five stories high, the conservatory of mu-
sic four stories high, and the recitation
hall three stories high. They are to
be constructed of brick, with stone
trimmings, and will be modern in every
way.
The mayor and aldermen have been
consulted individually and have prom
ised to see that the condition in regard
to the sewer and water mains being ex-
tended to the site chosen is complied
with. The only matter remaining open,
therefore, is that of transportation. The
street car company has not been seen,

II is announced from Washington that Chairman Hamilton of the house committee will draw the statehood bills for the territories. It matters little to Arizona who draws the bill so long as it provides for the admission of Arizona and guarantees to our peo- pie the right Of self government The democrats in congress have fought for the admission of Arizona for ten years and the passage ct the bill will be . triumph of that povty in forcing the republicans 10 cOneede that the peo- pie of Arizona are entitled to justice at the hands of the government.

The Western Union and Postal Tel egraph companies ought to do a good business during the next thirty days carrying messages from the people of Arizona to Senator Beveridge, ask. ing him to withdraw his opposition to the statehood biiL Senator Bever- idge is a resident of the state of h. diana and every resident of that old state now in Arizcna should make a personal appeal to him in behalf of Arizona. The fact should be im- pressed on Senator Beveridge that since he visited the territory eight years ago it has double in taxable wealth, doubled in population and has taken the proud position of being the largest producer of copper of all the states in the union.

 In the year. 1882 contract laborers were rejected. and 2i0 were arrest cd and expelled from the country.
 The report expresses qualification at what has been accomplished in en- forcing the presidents proclamation directing the exclusion of Japanese and Korean laborers. who, after get ting from their governments pass ports to Hawai-. Canada. or Mexico used fsuch passports, contrary to the wishes of their own government, ic obtain entry to the mainland Of the United States. In 1907, 31.7a8 Japa- pese aliens applied for admission Co the United States In 1908 is,941. Japanese aliens applied for admission Of those applying for admission in the past year, lS.s5s were admitted The total increase iu population by Japanese immigration was 3.2s6. Present Law Inadequate. The report indicates inadeoracy Of the Jaw to accomplish without cause for complaint the exclusion of Chi. nese. who are barred by statute. The smuggling of Chinese into the United States goes on, although many are ap- prenended
 The report urges the government to take effective means to prevent the congestion of arriving aliens in the greater centers of population. Dur ing the year g per cent of the aliens arriving at United States ports were destined to New York more than 14 per cent to Pennsylvania, per cent each to Illinois aud Massachusetts, and per cent to New Jersey. It is pointed out that some Of the states, particularly in thc south and west, are vitally interested in obtaining set tiers.
 Considerable space is devoted to the report of Judge Richard k. Campbell, chief of division of naturalization. Every effort has been made by the division not only to eliminate fraud from the naturalization of aliens. but to obtain absolute compliance with the law. It is recommended that a sui ficient appropriation be made to or ganize a force of examiners to inves- tigate every petition for naturaliza. ton. It is recommended also that the fees allowed clerks of courts be increased in order to afford the off, cials adequate compensation for the labor involved

WASHINGTON. 9aa. 1c.--As shown by the annual report of the comnis- sioner general of immigration for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1908 the work of the bureau was in many re. spects the most comprehensive and in teresting ever performed by it. De- spite a decrease of So per cent in lm- migration. the work of the. bureau ln- creased nearly 20 per cent during the year
 The report was prepared under su- pervisson Of F. II. Larned, deputy commissioner of inn igratioa, owing to the death of Commissioner General Frank F. Sargent The year was re- markable for a reduction of the mum Der of aliens entering the United States. The total immigration for tho year was 7S2.S70. 502.47s less than TOT the year 1907. During the fiscal year of 1907. 13.064 aliens were rejected; {; during 1908. l0.902 were rejected.
 Actual Net increase 209,867.
 By reason of an amendment to the law. the report for the first time fur nishes figures which snow approxi- mately the net increase in population by immigration. fhs figures indicate that the net increase was e09.S67. OI the aliens admitted. 63V.671 were be tween the ages of IA and 42 years. The total amount of money brought in,o the country by arriving immigrants was s17,794,226 an average of almost $2S a person. During the year there were turned back at the ports 10,9o2 aliens.
 It is pointed out that the past year was abnormal conc erning emigration as well as concerning immigration the same reason which reduced me latter havla- operated with perhaps greater force to increase the former.
 The bulk of the aliens came from southern or eastern Europe-Italy. Austria-Hungary. Greece, Turkey and the small prineipalities surrounding them. Russia furnished 64 per cent Of the total The change In the law extending the fining provisions to GOV CT the bringing of mentally, as well as physically, diseased aliens to the United States, and placing tubercu- losis under the same ban. is declared of great benefit. During the year 2906 aliens were rejected on account O. physical. 37o on account of mental and 31I on account Of moral defects. to which should be added S70 rejected for minor defects.

If the lower house Of congress will pass the statehood bill promptly it is quite likely that Arizona would have friends enough in tte senate to force the consideration ot the bill in that body. A vote in the senate would mean victory for Arizona as it would have been at any time during the last six years.

In the afternoon the ladies of the locaI club played a match, the players of the morning acting as oaddies. This natcl was followed by an exciting game between W. E. Erickson, the 'n- structor of the Warren district club. and Walter Fevergue, the expert of the Fl Pasoans. Erickson won by a neat margin.
 In the evening occurred the formal opening of the new club house in this sity. A strictly formal reception was 'cllowed by a ball, which was one of the most brilliant ever given in Fl Paso. Music was prov ded by the Fort Bliss reginental band.

STATEHOOD NEWS IS ENCOURAGING.

STATEHOOD NEWS
 IS ENCOURAGING.
 During the past few days the re- ports from Washington are to the es- feet that the chances for the adnis- sion Of Arizona as state have growa decidedly better at tbe national capi- taL It is now said that Speaker Can non has given his consent to the pass age of the bill an1 this is certainly a step forward for which all the peo- pie of the territory should be thank full So long as Cannon opposed the statehood bill there was hardly hope of it's passage daring the present short session. With Cannon in an agreeable mood there is no reason why tho bill should not be promptly passed through the house. It has been conceded by republicans since the meeting of the present congress that Speaker Cannon was not favorable 10 the cassage of the statehood bill and the fact that Watson, new member of lae house on territories, announced lis opposition to statehood at this ses- siOn seemed to put . final end to the hopes of Arizona so far as the sixtieth congress is concerned.
 The winning of Cannon to the cause of Arizona Is indeed zn important mat fer and will result in the passage of the statehood bill through the house. But it is said that Senator Beveridge, chairman of the senate committee on territories, is still opposing the bill The opposition of rsveridge, however, should not be insurnlountable. It may be that he can be won over by the same influence which placated Speak CT Cannon and this influence we take it is none other than a personal plea of President Roosevelt, who is known to very much desire the passage Of the statehood bills so that he nay sign them before the end of his term at the White House.
 Now is the time for the people to get busy with telegrams and letters to both President Roosevelt and Sena- tor Beveridge. Every political ana eommerciaI organization in the terri tory should hold meetings and pass resolutions imploriIg Senator Bever- idge to withdraw his opposition to the granting Of the right Of self govern ment Co a deserving people. Such ac- tioa would undoubtedly have a good effect. These resolutions should also thank the president for the friendly aid he is giving our people in their statehood aspirations.
 Now is the time for the people. to forget politics and Nork for the pass age of the statehood bill with might and main We believe that now a strong pull altogether will bring to us that for which we have fought so long.
 All Haiil Uncle Joel" Arizona will now have reason to forget and forgive his past attitude toward Arizona.
 It has not been intimated from Washington whether the suggestion of Governor Kibbsy regarding the constitution has been considered or not. but we doubt # such plan would ever be considered ip congress. Ari- zona will not be found wanting when it comes to preparing the constitution for the new state and we predict that it will be such an instrument as will reflect credit on ~ar people and prove that they are fully prepared for as suning the responsibility of self gov ernment.

and, not only pay attention, but demand 1t. They spend more time trying to at tract attention than in doing their work, for they regard marriage as release from bondage, and therefore everything else is secondary.
 Workers, not Martyrs
 When a young girl gets 1t into her head that she IS martyr because she must earn her own living, the next thought that naturally follows is that some man ought to support her, and she sets herself to work to capture hus- band. If half the time she spends in thinking and dreaming and planning about getting away from the "drudgery" of business life were spent in doing her work well, she would be a success in any walk in life
 And when the worker is widow bent on matrimony the situation becomes in tense. Pity the bachelor or widower who employs designing female of this typel If he doesn't sigh for lodge in a wilderness very shortly he must be made of flint
 The ideal business life permits the en- ployer to choose his helpers, but in real life they are often thrust upon him, and he must bear the consequences with what grace he can muster.
