THE ANNUAL REPORT
 CONCERNING ARIZONA THE YEAR HAS BEEN A GOOD
 ONE An Anticipation of the Benefits of
 Statehood

Washington. Dec 1s-In his an nual report to the secretary of the interior. Governor Sloan on the sub ject of statehood says:
 We anticipate such benefits from admission that the prospect of any considerable delay or the possibil- ity that the constitution which may be adopted may not be approved are matters of grave concern to the peo- pie of tho territory"
 Prosperity continues in the terri tory according to the report Crops have been good, especially in the irri- gated sections. Prices of farm pro ducts. it says. tend to- increase while the prices of land under ditch with water rights have also increased somewhat.
 The output of the mines including copper. gold. silver. lead and zinc. for the year 1909 amounted in gross value to s42.946.745. a substantial increase over the preceding year.
 Governor Sloan recommends that congress be requested to make pro- vision for a contingency which may arise from the admission of the ter ritOry extending beyond the present fiscal year. by authorizing a levy of taxes for the payment of the eX- penses of the territorial government for the fiscal years 1912 and 1913. au- thorizing such appropriations as may be needed for that purpose.
 Under the terms of the enabling act. no session of the territorial leg islature may be held in 1911.

THE CONSTITUTION MUST BE DEFEATED

mitted for our ratification will be ap proved either bv the president or by congress.
 The Presidents Position
 '-The president does not regard his approval as a mere matter of form, but regards his duty under the en- abling act as requiring his close scrutiny of the constitution submit ted. and, if objectionable in any fun damental matter as requiring his disapproval-
 "I want to say right now that the rejection of our constitution upon the ground that it contains provi- sions fundamentally wrong would strengthen the administration, and not weaken it. as some of our good people seem to ehink.
 There is no sentiment anywhere in the east or the south in favor of the initiative. referendum and recall. At the conference of governors at Frankfort. I talked with the gover nOrs of Alabama, Georgia and Vir- ginia on this subject and found them strongly opposed to these innovations. Governor Harmon and Governor elect Woodrow Wilson's utterances have been against them. Therefore it may be seen that the position of the ad- ministration would be strengthened by the rejection of the constitution on account of them.
 The Only Thing to Do
 There is but one thing for the people of the territory to do. if they desire statehood. and that is to ex- press their disapproval of these pro- visions of the constitution. which stand in the way of our admission. We have nothing to lose but every thing to gain by this course. The Constitutional convention can be reconvened and rewrite the constitu ton in the event of it's disapproval by the people. and if the convention follows the expressed wish of the people and rewrites the constitution by eliminating the objectionable fea- lures. the new constitution can be in the hands of the president and of congress at the next session, and we can be admitted as early as We pos sibly can be admitted under the enabling act. were the constitution as submitted be approved by the people and by the president.
 Send a Mission
 'I say again. if anybody doubts the accuracy of my. information as to what the attitude of the presi- dent and of congress is in this mat ter. I suggest that the easy way of ascertaining the fact is to go to Washington. present the matter to the president and to the leaders of congress. and ascertain the truth at first hand believe that any re- sponsible committee or persons who will visit Washington in good faith will come back as firmly convinced as I am that statehood under present conditions is impossible"
 The Only Issue
 In conclusion the governor said: This is not a political question. We have before us the choice of state hood or no statehood. Unless We defeat this constitution We will not be admitted If we do defeat il and the initiative. referendum and recall is omitted from a new consti- tuition. I believe the president will approve such a constitution. Con gress may approve it and at least there is the probability that it will not affirmatively disapprove it. in which case We will be admitted.

Beach Stones Shipped to United
States in Sacks

The Newfoundland government has
given a concession for handling the
pebbles on its shores to company
which is shipping them to the United
States. writes Consul James 5. Bene-
dict of st. Johns.
The government granted to the At
lantic pebble company for three years
from May / the exclusive right to ex
port pebbles and beach stones from the
colony, and also for 25 years from the
same date the exclusive right to enter
upon any crown lands within 100 yards
of Conception bay, between Cape St.
Francis and Splint Point, near Bay de
Verde. to search for pebbles and beach
stones, but their sole right of export
is restricted to Conception bay.
After three years, exploitation OF
pebbles for the rest of the island is
open to everybody, and only in Con-
ception bay has the company any ex-
elusive right
Only certain kind of pebble Is re-
quired, and they vary in circumference
from three to nine inches and are di-
vided into three grades. They are
packed in sacks weighing 16S pounds
each when filed. The first cargo of
1850 tons, valued at $13,20O, was
shipped to Philadelphia.
1t is not generally know what the
pebbles will be used for, some asserting
that they will be employed in concrete
buildings, as they are harder than
broken rock. and that the smaller peb-
bles of flint will be used in the grind
