Won in the House.
The house committee on ter
ritories has decided to report on
the bills providing for the ad
mission of Oklahoma, Arizona
and New Mexico to statehood
m Friday, February 21. This
agreement was readied after the
arguments in favor of statehood
for New Mexico had been pre
sented. There seems to be but little
doubt that the house committee
will report favorably upon the
bills admitting the three ter
- ritories to the union and will also
report a bill granting a territorial
form of government for the
Indian territory. Nothing has
developed in any of the hearings!
to indicate that there is any op
position in the committee to
statehood for Oklahoma, Arizona
and New Mexico. While the
the adjournment in July, the
whole strength of the statehood
moucment will be concentrated
on the senate; The territories
are really at an advantage in the
senate, because of the great pro
portionate strength of the west
in that body. While most sen
ators who oppose national ir
rigation will probably oppose
statehood, as suggested in the
foregoing dispatch, that by no
means argues that they can de
feat admission. On the contrary,
the great strength of "national
irrigation" is in the senate, and
it is generally conceded that
some measure along the lines of
the Ilansbrough-Newlands bill
! will pass that body. It is the
house, with its vast preponder
ance of eastern members, which
will defeat irrigation legislation.
So that if the disheartened can

While there will be some op

posed to the abmission of the
territories for political and sec
tional reasons. The increase of the
number of the senators by six,
with interests and sympathy in
the development of the west and
southwest is not desired by some
of the members of the senate.
One of them expressed this view
and declared that he was not in
favor of adding six votes in the

according to the above dispatch
there is no reason why the cam
