Arizona Notes
The people of Arizona are rather general
lily in favor of the expansion policy and the
reten ton Of the Philippines by the United
States. They 90 further than that. The
newspapers are asking their delegate in
congress to use every exertion toward get
ting the government to see If a strip of land
bordering on Arizona cannot be purchased
from Mexico. The territory wants her
southern boundary line run due west from
Nogales, which it was undoubtedly in
tended to do a: the time of the Gadsden
purchase from Mexico. The Phoenix Her.
aid seems to voice the sentiment OF Ari-
IONA when 1t says editorially:
This matter should be pushed by our
delegate to congress, and a commission
sufficiently acquainted in Arizona be
appointed to make an effort with the
Mexican government to secure for Ari-.
IONA this small tract of country, prac-
tically useless to Sonora, but Of much
value to the territory of Arizona.
BY acquiring this strip of land, Arizona
would acquire the mouth of the Colorado
river and a seaport in the Gulf Of California.
Such an acquisition would not only add
shipping interests to Arizona, but fishing,
oyster culture, canning and, by railroad
communication from Yuma to the Gulf of
California, would develop quite trade
with the west coast of Mexico. This would
help Los Angeles, as the wholesale distrib-
uting point for Southern Arizona. What
ever increases the population and resources
of Arizona increases the wholesale trade
of Los Angeles with her neighbor.
