Statehood With New Mexico
Condemned by President.

New York, Jan. 2.— James Douglas,
who ia the executive bead of the min­
ing enterprises in Arizona, grouped aa
the Phelps, Dodge A Co. interests, ia
quoted today regarding his views upon
the proposed joint statehood of Ari-
sona and New Mexcio.
Mr. Douglas
says, among other things:
‘ ‘To force Arisona into a union with
New Mexico ia to do a great wrong to
the people }f the former territory, who,
in racial antecedents, religious prefer­
ences and industrial
interests, are
wholly unlike the inhabitants of New
Mexico. New Mexico has a population
sufficient to justify her admission as a
single state, and the people of Arixona,
among whom I have spent more than
26 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 Arixona 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 important 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 A ri­
xona and New Mexicc,**
New York, Dec. 30. — Charlea T
Yerkes, the noted railway financier of
Chicago and London, died laat night ia
hi* apartments at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel, where be had been ill for more
than six weeks. Mr. Yerkes suffered
from a complication of disease«, grow­
ing out of a severe cold which he con­
tracted in London early in the fall.
His condition bad 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
nad been kept alive by strong stimu­
lants.
Charles Tyson Yerkee waa born at
Philadelphia, Pa., June 26, 1837. The
Yerkes family ie of Dntch origin, the
first settlers of the name coming to
America a few years before the arrival
of the Quaker colony nnder William
Penn.
C. T . Yerkee was educated at
the Friende’ school and Central High
school, of his native city, and began
his business life ae a clerk in the Hour
and grain commission and forwarding
house ol James P. l ’eiot & Bros., being
presented with a salary of $60 at the
end of his first year.
His latest exploit was to revolution­
ise the rapid transit system of London.
He bnilt 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 care. 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.

Ontario— The boom in Ontario real
estate, on account of the announce­
ments and predictions in railorad cir­
cles in the past few months, is here.
The climax came with the announce­
ment of purchase by the Oregon Short
Line t f terminal grounds here ten acres
in extent.
There ia only , one meaning for such
a purchase, in the opinion of almost
everyone who hears of it, and that la
that Ontario ia now irrevocably decided
on aa the junction point of the proposed
east and west line across Oregon with
the Oregon Bhort Line and the Harri-
man transcontinental system.
The result of the announcement of
the purchase waa electrifying. Real
estate prices at once went soaring.
In
some instances, it ia stated, laud has
doubled in value in a few days, and
there seems to be no let up in the ad­
vance as yet. High as the prices are,
compared with those of a few months
ago, there ia still plenty of demand.
New men are arriving on every train.
Each seema to have some money, and
each ia apparently anxious to get it in­

Salem— Game Warden J. W . Baker’ s
annual report shows that 17,000 of the
inhabitants of Oregon are hunters, not
taking into consideration the farmers
who hunt over their own lands, and
are, therefore, not required to pay the
yearly tax of $1.
Fees received amounted to $17,421,
some of which came from nonresident
hunters, who paid $10 for the privilege
of killing wild game in the state;
$166.40 was collected as fines for bunt­
ing without a license.
The game warden expended $7,262.25,
leaving a balance of $10,325.16.
This
will be available at once for deputies as
soon as necessary.
From the general
appropriation fund, tne warden receiv­
ed $1,662.78 for salary and traveling
expenses and $2,499.88 was used for
salaries and expenses of deputy war­
dens, making a total expenditure for
the year of $11,412.91 for the protec­
tion and propagation of game.
Violations of the law have been less
frequent this year than for some time,
but justices of the peace are not inclin­
ed to impose severe penalties.
Eighty-four persons were convicted
and fined for violation of the game
laws, the fines averaging $15.

Washington, Jan. 2.— Two-thirds of
the United States senate w ill come up
for re-election within the next three
years, and of this total 34 are Republi­
cans. This fact is likely to have con­
siderable influence upon the ultimate
stand taken this winter by the senate
on measures advocated by the president
and endorsed by the people.
I t does
not necessarily mean that the eenate
w ill fall in line and follow the lead of
the president, but it points to such ac­
tion, and the wise observers, after
studying the situation, think they can
see the eenate supporting the preeident
on the large issues now up for consid­
eration.
During the first weeks of the session
it looked very much as if the senate
would take issue with the president
on many important questions of legis­
lation. There were unpleasant words
regarding the Panama canal; there
were murmurings about the presi­
dent’ s course regarding Banto Domin­
go; and behind it all considerable
private comment upon the president’ s
railroad rate policy as outlined in his
message. Many senators have reached
the conclusion that the preeident ie
recklessly usurping the powers of con­
gress to some extent, and they have dis­
played evidence of ugliness on that ac­
count. For a time it looked ae if there
would be revolt.
But w ill there be? Rather, w ill not
the senate fall in line and follow the
lead of the preeident? I t is a serious
thing for the party in power to break
with its president, and such a move ia
more apt to injure those senators and
representatives of the insurgent claee
than it ie to injure the president.
What is more, the party in power must
suffer trom any euch revolt.
These
things are being carefully weighed, and
there are those who now predict that
there w ill be no break between congress
and the president, unless it may be on
the railroad rate issue, and even on
that ieBue a compromise is more likely
than an open rnpture.

Christmas

Edward T . Bedford, also one of the

waa served with a subpoena in th*
aame proceedings.
Henry Wollman, New York counsel
for the state of Missouri in the proceed­
ings, said yesterday that he thought
some of the Standard Oil men were at­
tempting to evade service.
“ They are making it very difficult
