ASHURST AND
 HAYDEN STOOD
 AGAINST BILL
Special to the Journal-Miner)

(Speclal to the JOurnal-Mlner)
 PHOENIX, June 30.-While Sen ator Ralph Cameron of Arizona and Senator H. O. Bursum of New Mex ico were bending every effort to- ward securing a postponement of mine assessment work for the bene- fit of the prospector and small mine owner, Representative Carl Hayden land Senator Ashurst were maintain ing an attitude of indifference if not actual opposition to the bill provid- ing for a further extension, with the prospects that the measure would go down to defeat.
 This is the information brought back from Washington by Andrew Baumert, jr, republican national committeeman of this city, who has just returned from three weeks visit to the national capital where he attended a meeting of the national committed.
 Senator Ashurst's attitude was said to have been unfriendly, according to Baumert, for the reason, that when the last extension was secured, the senator promised that he would not favor any further extension. Ignor- ing the present depression which has hit the small mine owner with as much if not more force than any other class, and disregarding the pleas of the prospectors, the senator deemed it more desirable to stick to his promise, says Baumert, than to recognize that changed conditions might alter the situation. Represen- tative Hayden has followed the same route, though his stand has not been quite so pronounced.
 Originally Secretary of the Inter for Albert B. Fall was set against further extension. Senator Cameron, however, secured a conference with the secretary, and succeeded in con vincing him of the urgent necessity for this action. The result was that Mir. Fall wrote a letter to both the senate and house committees having the matter under consideration, stat | ing that he was convinced of the reasonableness of the request for a further extension, and urging the committees to report favorably upon the bill.
 Important Meeting Baumert considers the recent meet | ing of the national committee one of the most important ever held in the annals of the party. The reap portionment of delegates from the south to the national convention pre- sented a problem which had to be handled with expert diplomacy. Under the new plan of apportion- ment, many of the southern states will lose representation, while many western states will gain. Arizona's s representation in the national party counsels will be increased from six to eight.
 What about the federal appoint ments for Arizona?" Baumert was asked, echoing the inquiry which has been uppermost III the minds of ot- flee seekers since the election last fall.
 No Patronage News
 There is nothing particularly new to report in that respect" replied the national committeeman. "The gen eral policy of the administration seems to be to exercise no undue haste in making changes. Wilson appointees will be allowed to finish out an eight-year term, unless it can be shown that they are inefficient or are using their office to place poli- tics.

adventurers probably reached

under La Sale built fort here

laid claim to this territory, in
Guiding it in the grant to North
Carolina. 1t was not until 177O
that the first permanent settle
ment was made by james Rob
ertson and this was soon fol-
lowed by many other settlers
from North Carolina. They
formed what they called the
Washington district, but this
was short lived as it was
promptly annexed to North
Carolina. In 1884 the inhabi-
tants, indignant over North Car
olina's attitude toward them,
declared their independence and
formed the State of Franklin
or Frankland. AS this seces-
sion was not countenanced by
North Carolina, for number
of years state of confusion
existed with two sets of officers
trying to govern. Meanwhile
the settlement suffered severely
from hostile Indians and from
the Spanish, who still held Lou
isiaRa, and controlled the Mis-
sissippi river. In 1890 North
Carolina finally ceded this ter
ritory to the United States. BY
1906 the population had in
creased to over 10000, so Ten
nessee was admitted as the six.
tcenth state of the Union.
AT the outbreak of the Civil
war. Tennessee joined the Con
federacy. In 1866, when the
state was readmitted to the Un-
ion. there was much disorder
during the reconstruction period.
This led to The formation of the
ku kluX Klan, the influence of
which quickly spread through
out the Southern states. This
secret organization took into
It's own hands the suppress
sion of crime and the admin
istration of justice.
Tennessee contains 42,O22

called the Volunteer state. It
is named after its principal riv-
er, which is q Cherokee word

tlemenl The first white man
to penetrate this region was
Jean Nicollet, who was sent out
In 1884 by Champlain to open
trade with the Indians. He
landed at Green Bay and prob
ably traversed the country to
Chicago. Fur traders and mis-
slOnarles followed and the latter
built a mission where Ashland
now stands. This was the first
church erected in the state and
around it sprang up the first
permanent settlement. Joliet
and Father Marquette descended
the Wisconsin river, and La
Sale explored great deal Of
Wisconsin before he took his
famous trip down the Mississip-
pl. Among the fur traders to
come 10 Wisconsin shores was
Danic du Lhut, after whom the
city OF Duluth, Mimi, was
named.
During the Revolution Wiscon-
sin remained loyal to the Brit
iSfl and though Wisconsin be-
came part of the United
States by The Treaty of Paris in
1783, it was not until 1916 that
federal troops really established
authority there. Indian upris-
ings continued for some time
ending only with the Black
, Hawk war in 1882. Then fol
lowed extensive Immigration
from the New England States.
Wisconsin had formed part
OF the Northwest territory until
1900 when it became part of
Michigan territory, under whicE
jurisdiction it remained mtil
1876, with .he exception Of nire
years, when il was considered
part nf Illinois territory. With
the admission Of Michigan ns a

was created, which included al

times called the Badger STATE.
