to cultivation. Stock raising is large
industry and the value of live stock
there last year was $1S.000,000. Ari-
zona's forest area is said to be the
largest in the United States and the
national forests cover something over
100000 acres.
New Mexico, according to the cen
sus of 1900. then had a population of
195.310. but those figures do not by
people now living in the territory
The committee on territories estimat-
es the present population to be not
less than 100000 and residents OF
New Mexico claim more than that.
Like her sister territory. New Mexico
has some valuable public institutions
incl~ding university valued at $117,-
600; agricultural college. $4,000;
military institute. 100000; reform
school. $25.000; penitentiary, $22S,O00;
normal school s2OO.OOO: insane asy-
lum. $1S9,000; deaf and dumb asylum,
$3S.0OO: miners hospital, $3S,OOO;
school of mines. $4,000: blind asy-
lum s3s; capital. $4,000. The as
sessed valuation of property for 1909
was $5S.5OO,O0O and it is estimated
that the actual value of property in
the territory is over s3O0,00O.0OO.
The territory has an excellent pub
lie school system with buildings
worth more than $1.O0O.OOO. In 1908
there were $4,000 children of school
age. Besides there are more than SO
sectarian schools with an enrolment
of over 5000 pupils. New Mexico has
ten daily and nearly one hundred
weekly newspapers.
Coal and Fertile Land.
There are tremendous coal deposits
in the territory the estimates of the
amount running up as high as 9,000.-
100000 tons. and it is said to be worth
at least $5OO.0OO,O0O. There are about
5000 miles of railroad and there are
forty-one national and thirty-four ter
ritorial banks with capital of $3,274,-
$50 and with resources and liabilities
of $24,6OS.651.
These facts give some idea of the
two territories that are soon to be-
come states and they show that the
natural resources ana tne pOSS1DllltleS
are great. Not only is the ground full
Of valuable minerals awaiting capital
to unearth it, but the land itself,
though classed as arid and semi-arid,
is Of the most fertile quality when
subjected to irrigation. Dry farming
is now being introduced and with
splendid results. The government is
building irrigation plants and other
plants will follow through the efforts
of the reclamation service and by the
Investment Of private capital. The
two new states will enter the sister,
hood with bright prospects and it is
4 safe prediction that with statehood
will come a period of development
that will offer tempting inducements
to pioneers in all lines.

NEW COMET HAS
FEARFUL SPEED
Travelling One Hundred and
Twenty Miles a Second
Will Soon Disappear

Providence, r. l.. Jan. 26.-The new
comet. which has been visible in the
western heavens since last week, is
making a speed of more than 12O
miles second. according to calcu-
lations made .oday Prof. Winslow
Upton Of Brown university. Prof.
Upton declared that the comet was
SPEEDING away from the earth and sun,
and that by the last of the month,
when it will no longer be visible. it
will be about one hundred and sixty
million miles distant.

Two New States win Be Admitted
To The Union During Present Yeay

| Guadalupe-Hidalgo treaty, February
2. 1S4S, and by the GadsGen purchase
December 80. 1853 Together they
originally comprised the territory of
New Mexico but in 1863 they were
separated and formed two territories.
Ever since they have aspired to
statehood these two territories have
tried to convince the American con-
gress of their great achievements and
their wonderful prospects. Their
claims of population have caused long
drawn-out arguments in congress and
have even sent investigating commit
tees to their borders for information
at first hand. According to the CEN
sus of 1900, Arizona had a population
of 122,931, of whom 26,4S0 were lndi-
ans. This is an average Of IL per-
sons to the square mile. To show the
sparseness of this population it may
be stated that the density of Pennsyl-
vania is 140 persons to the square
mile while that of Massachusetts is
348 persons. But it is pretty general
ly admitted that the census figures
for Arizona in 1900 were not accurate,
that the territory really had more
people than she was credited with.
The house committee on territories,
using the best evidence at hand, esti-
mates that the present population of
the territory is not less than 100000.
cent is American, thirteen per cent
Mexican; eleven per cent Indian and
six per cent other foreign nationali-
ties.
Newspapers and Schools.
This population is not illiterate.
The estimate of illiteracy is at l per
cent, which is not great for COM
munity of that sort. There are eigh-
teen daily and fifty-four weekly news
papers published in the territory.
There are two normal schools with
buildings and property worth $780,
600. Arizona has a university lin
connection with which are various
stitute, college of mines and agricul-
tural and mechanical college) with
buildings and property valued at
$245,00O; an insane asylum with
property worth $222.O0O; a territorial
prison valued at $136.00O. The capi-
tol building with the ground upon
which it stands is valued at $160,000.
Last year the total assessment for
taxation in the territory was $S2,6S4,-
O62.56. From this it is estimated that
the actual value of the property
amounts to $450,O0o.000. There are
thirty-three territorial and thirteen
national banks in Arizona with a cap
ital and surplus of $3,512,OS7.6 SO, de-
posits of $16,S49,51O53 and loans and
discounts of $1O.314.5247O. The chief
industry is lining but the arid la:ls
are being irrigated and the deserts
are being converted into garden spots.
Two irrigation projects now in con-
struction will open up 100000 acres

First Deserttion.

Redlands, Cal.,, Jan. 26.-Two days
of an anti-meat strike were enough
for the residents of "The Mission" a
suburb of Redlands. Petitions circu-
lated last Saturday were signed by
almost the entire population who
pledged to refrain from eating meat
for sixty days. The meat markets
closed their doors. but were induced
to reopen today and at once there
was a rush to obtain fresh meat.

Pittsburg. Jan. 26.-Prices of all

the effect of the boycott on meats
which went into effect with about
$4,000 people today. Cattle, hogs and

Acquired From Mexico.

Arizona and New Mexico are about
the same size and contain much
the same character of country. Each
is nearly square. Arizona is 3S7 miles
long and 339 miles wide and contains
an area OF 1890 square miles: New
Mexico is 800 miles long and 346
miles wide and contains 122,5SO
square miles OF area. Some idea OF
the size of these prospective new
states can be obtained from the fact
that New Mexico is not quite three
times as large as Pennsylvania. To-
gcther they fall little short of being
as large as Texas which has an area
Of 265.7S0 square miles.
Both are carved out of the terri
tory acquired from Mexico by the

Washington, D. c., Jan. 26-Indi-
cations are that by the close of the
current year two new stars will be
added to the blue field of the Ameri-
can flag by the admission of Arizona
and New Mexico into the sisterhood
of states. An enabling act has al
ready passed the house and as it has
the support of the president and 9TH
er leaders of the Republican party, as
we'll as that of many influential DEM
ocrats, there is good reason to believe
that it will be passed at this session
If this is done it will be possible for
the new states to be organized and
admitted to the union by January /,
1911.
These two territories have been
knocking at the door of the union for
a long time. More than seven years
ago an omnibus statehood bill pro-
viding for the admission of Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Arizona as separate
states, passed the house and was
championed in the senate by he late
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania.
Through Mr.. Quay's masterful parlia-
mentary leadership, the bill was made
the unfinished business of the senate
and was given the right Of way over
other legislation. A test vote show
ed that there were sufficient votes in
the senate to pass it if it could once
be brought to a roll call. But the
opponents of the bill inaugurated a
filibuster against it and in that way
prevented its passage.
Each year thereafter attempts were
made to secure statehood for these
three territories and sometimes a bill
passed both branches and failed in
conference. Finally Oklahoma was
admitted her population, her wealth
and prospects emitting her to first
consideration. In 1908 both political
parties in their national platform de-
clared for separate statehood for Ari-
zona and New Mexico and now Presi-
dent Taft contends that the pledge of
the party must be carried out. There
remains much opposition in certain
quarters, but it is believed that suffi-
cient influence can be mustered to Sc
cure their admission.
