New York, Jan. 2. James louglas who is the executive head of the min ing enterprises in Arizona, grouped as the Phelps, Dodge & Co. interests, is quoted today regarding his views upon the proposed joint statehood of Ari zona and New Mexcio. Mr. Douglas says, among other things: "To force Arizona into a union with New Mexico is to do a great wrong to the people af the former territory, who, in racial antecedents, religious prefer eiices ana industrial interests, are wholly unlike the inhabitants of New Mexico. New Mexico has a population suIScient to justify her admission as a single state, and the people of Arizona, among whom I have spent more than 25 years of my life, would rather wait 20 years for statehood than be joined to New Mexico. In the event of joint statehood, the vast interests in Arizona would be out voted and so controlled in the matter of taxation by the greater population of the present territory of New Mexico, which is vastly less impoitant in the value of its taxable property. I can well understand that it may seem desirable to substitute a state government for the territorial form whenever it can be wisely accom plished, and can a.so appreciate the political considerations that are in volved in the contention for joint state hood, but neither should outweigh the injustice that would be involved in such an unfit alliance as that of Ari zona and Few Mexico."

Chaffee, chief of staff of the army, today expressed himself as in hearty accord with the provisions of the army bill evolved by the general staff, and now in the hands of the sec retary of war. "Matters military in this country," said the general, "naturally mean the outlay of money, but I believe it will be worth all it costs to sttengthen the military arm of the government by creating, as contemplated in the bill, a reserve of 50.000 men. By creating this force of the men who have served one term ot tnree years and bave been honorably discharged, we shall have the benefit of the instruction thev have rtceived, the proficiency they have at tained in marksmanship and their re gard for discipline. It will be possible, with puch a re serve, to put the army on a war footing with seasoned troops. The reservists would be enlisted for five yeats, during which thev would be under pav and al ways subject to a call for service, but in time of peace permitted to follow the vocations of their choice." General Chaffee returns to Washing ton tomorrow. State Board of Agriculture Proposes Moving It to Salem. Salem At the meeting ot the state board of agriculture last week John H. Albert, of the Lewis and Clark fair commission, submitted a comnuini cation suggesting that the board take steps to secure the forestry -building erected at the Lewis and Clark fair and move it to Saiem. Mr. -Albert said that neither the city of Portland nor the Oregon Historical society has taken action toward preserv ing the building, and he thought it would be a good plan to move the structure to Salem and erect it in the state fair grounds near the Souther n Pa ific track, where all persons passing on the trains could see it. He thought the huge structure of logs would not only be an attraction at the stats fair. out wuen so suuatea would be a per petual advertisement for Oregon s tim ber resources. The board of Agriculture appointed a committee composed of W. II. Down lag, J. v. Matlock aud rank Lee to ascertain the cost of transporting the building to Salem, and also whether the owner of the land upon which the building now stands will permit it to remain there until the leigslature meets in 19Q7. Government Engineer Lippincott Now On the Ground. Klamath Falls Supervising Engin eer J. B. Lippincott, for the Reclama tion service in California, and having charge of the Klamath project, arrived here Sunday. Mr. Lippincott came to Klamath Falls to clear up all prelim inaries and arrange for paying all obli gations against the government in con nection with the Klamath irrigation project. Several private companies were beught out by the government officials, or arrangements were completed for the purchase of all conflicting irrigation ditches put here previously by private concerns, and though the payments had been authorized by government, none of these private companies received their money. This had caused con siderable speculation, and the coming of Mr. Lippincott, with the announce ment that his mission here was to clean up all these claims, so that the contractors awarded the contracts for work on the irrigation canals could proceed at once after the bids were let. places all who heretofore had wondered if the government would proceed with actual ditch work in much clearer po sition regarding the future of the pro ject. YERKES IS DEAD. WOOLEN MILL FOR ALBANY. Re- Subsid- of $I5,0C0 Will Insure building on Larger Scale. Albany The Commercial club ap pointed a committee of leading business men to secure $15,000 in subscrip tions toward reorganizing the Ban- nockburn Manufacturing company, to rebuild the woolen mill recently burned, replacing it with a mill double the capacity. Ttie company is to have $100,000 capital and a practical woolen manufacturer is to run the mill. The new factory will give employment to 100 people. The proposal is to bring machinery for a six set mill from Massachusetts, the owner to take stock in the mill for the machinery and run the plant. The old building is to be rebuilt with money subscribed for stock in Albany, the old company to put in its propecrty at half cost and raising $40,000 additional stock. This will give the company a complete plant with a working capital of $40,000. Business men here are taking hold with a will and the plans promise success. Over $2,000 was subscibed by three men on the spot. The Commercial club re-elected the entire board of directors and officers, President M. H. El'is and associates holding another year. ' Mitchell Estate Small. Portland David M. Dunn'e has been appointed administrator of the estate of Senator John H. Mitchell upon the petition of John H. Mitcheh, Jr., in the County court.

Mitchell, Jr., and Hi ram E. Mitchell, sons, and Alice and Mildred Chapman and Mitchell and Robert Handy, grandchildren. Complication of Diseases Carries Off Builder of Street Railways. New York, Dec. 30. Charles T. Yerkes, the noted railway financier of Chicago and London, died last night in his apartments at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, where he had been ill for more than six weeks. Mr. Yerkes suffered from a complication of diseases, grow ing out of a severe cold which he con tracted in London early in the fall. His condition had been critical for ten days past, and the attending physicians gave up all hope several days ago, al though members of the family clung tenaciously to the belief that the re markable vitality of Mr. Yerkes would eventually pull him through. Since early yesterday morning the patient had been kept alive by Btrong stimu lants. Charles Tyson Yerkes was born at Philadelphia, Pa.. June 25, 1837. The Yerkes family is of Dutch origin, the first settlers of the name coming to America a few years before the arrival of the Quaker colony under William Penn. C. T. Yerkes was educated at the Friends' school and Central High school, of his native city, and began his business life as a clerk in the flour and grain commission and forwarding house of James P. Perot & Bros., being presented with a salary of $50 at the end of his first year. His latest exploit was to revolution ize the rapid transit system of London. He built a system of underground elec tric lines, which shines by contrast with the old Metropolitan (under ground) railway in every particular, having pure air, clean stations, clean and comfortable cars. He then secured control of the Metropolitan, after a con test before a commission of parliament, against J. P. Morgan, and has been en gaged for several years in transforming it into an electric system. ESTIMATE COST OF FUTURE WORK Little Actual Progress Yet Made on Panama Canal.

Mr. i. : - t ; l . ieiu says ue is determined to make a test case. ANOTHER HOPE FOR MALHEUR. Senators Propose Irrigation, Exclud ing Wagon Road Lands. Washington, Jan. 2. Senators Ful ton and (iearin today called on the di rector of the gt-ological survey to see if it be possible to revive the Malheur ir rigation project, now practically dead. They hope the government will do somethirg that wi'l benefit settlers owning latid in that vicini'y and sug gested that the original project might be reduced in s'ze by liminating the wagon road land and land included in the railroid rinht of way, which proved serious obstacles in the way of the first project. Director Wolcott promised to give immediate attention to this request, anj in a few days will advise the sen ators whet her or not it will be prac ticable to remodel the project as they Lave suggested. Il such a plan ii feai ible, there is some hope that a modified Malheur project may ultimately be built. Statistics of Feeble-Minded. Salem An effort has been made by the commission authorized by the last legislature to inquire into necessity or the advisability of establishing a school in this state for the feeble minded, to find out how many unfortunites of this character are to be found in the state. A report received at the office of the secretary of ti e Btite Library commis sion, comprled from a census taki-n in several Eastern states, shows the aver age number of feeble minded persons is 2 to 1,000. On this basis there would be about 1 ,000 feeble minded persons in Oregon. Candidates Must File Notice.

Say Agents are Frauds. C' 1 . - . . . . . .-aieni agents are traveling over this state soliciting orders for books for traveln g libraries. In some instances they lepresent themselves as being au thorized by the State Library commis sion to solicit orders for books.

Reduction in Schedule of nental Mails. Washington, Jan. 1. The postmaster general has announced what, from a postal standoint, is regarded as one of the most important changes in rail way mail schedules that have occur re in many years, affecting all points in the East having business with points west of the Mississippi river. It be comes tttective Decern bs-r 31. A change cf the schedule on the Union Pacific railway between Omaha and Ogden, Utah, and on the Southern Pacific between Ogden and San Fran Cisco, witti f u, p!ementai changes on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy an Chicago & Northwes'ern railroads be twcen Chicago and Omaha, reduces the time of mail in transit between New- York and San Francisco west bound and between the same points east bound, practically 24 hours.

The rebels arc still active here, despite all reports to the contrary, as developments of the past few hours have plainly shown. In order to cut off ingress to the city by rail from Tver, the insurgents today placed bombs under the bridge between that place and Moscow, literally wreck ing the bridge. A mob of armed men made an attack on the police barrmks and was defeated with gn at loss of life. The police lo cated the meeting place of the Social Revolutionary committee and arrested all the members. A quantity of bombs was also seized. Enraged at the arrest of the committee, a mob destroyed 200 wagons loaded with provisions for sol jdiers. Following this the prefect police ordered the soldiers to shoot any one found interfering with either pro vision wagons, telegrarh cr telephone poles. The streets of tl.e city present ghastly appearance. The bodies of un identined dead are jound lying every where. It is 8;i id that, when the police arrested the revolutionary committee the workmen were discussing a termin ation of the strike. Washington, Dec. 30. Conditions on the Isthmus of Panama and the progress which is being made on the gigantic enterprise before the Canal commission were set forth in the an nual report of that body for the year ending December 1, submitted to Presi dent Roosevelt today. According to the report, the work up to this time has been confined mostly to the prepar atory operations, although some exca vation work has been in progress which will be mostly of use in making esti mates upon the cost of future excava tion. Sanitary conditions has also re ceived much attention, and as a result the health of the isthmus is now in good shape, While this preparatory woik has been in progress, very little has been done in the way of actual excavation. Eleven steam shovels have been in operation in Culebra cut and approxi mately 1 .000,000 cubic yards of mate rial have been removed. By this work the levels of the cut are being put in condition for the installation of the largest number of machines which can be effectively operated, and data is being gathered which will he useul for estimates of the cost of future construc tion. The chief engineer, John F. Stevens, reports that the working year will be. of only eight months, due to the rainy sea ion. The problem of the Culebra cut is Bimply a matter of disposing of the material excavated. He also states the necessity of obtaining more effi cient labor, and asserts that there are exceptional opportunities for young men from the United States to secure good positions. A thorough business administration of affairs on the istnmns, he Buys, is essential. The old railroad ustil by the French company, was in bad con dition, especially the rolling sto k. The payroll on the isthmus at pres ent amounts to approximately $l(i0,- 000 a month. An immediate appropri ation is therefore nmssary. GOOD HAVEN FOr? BIG THILVfcS.
