House joint memorial No. 6, by Rob-
lnson, praying congress to cede to Utah
those portions of CocOnino and Mojave
counties in Arizona lying north of the
Colorado river. The memorial recites
the fact that the Arizona strip, which
| is desired to be annexed to Utah, is
naturally tributary to Utah; that it is
sparsely settled. and is infested with
bands Of outlaws, who despoil the peo-
pie OF this state of their focks and
herds; that the determination of these
outlaws can be more readily accom-
plished by the people of Utah acquiring
jurisdiction over them; that the region
is valuable only for grazing purposes
and that the social, commercial and le-
gal relations and interests of the peO-
pie residing on the strip, which the
great impossible river cuts off from
Arizona, are wholly with the people of
Utah. The measfre was referred to the
committee on memorials TO congress.
