TO ROB ARIZONA

Washington, April 14.-Senator Kearns today introduced a bill an- nexing to Utah all that portion of Arizona territory lying north and west of the Colorado river.
 Is it possible that the people of Arizona will allow the territory to be robbed in this high-handed man ner2 We, as well as the citizens of Utah, are aware of the vast wealth of the section referred to, and it is but a few weeks since that the NEWS published an article on the great benefits that would accrue to our people by a further development of its resources At present there are many companies interested in mines north of the river, one of which is the Coconino Smelling Co, at the head of which is Aquillis Nebeker, state senator of Utah. Possibly there is no connection between this statement and the annexation move ment-and, again, there may be. CocOnino county will not be the largest loser if the transfer is made, but she wants to keep all she has. Let us make fight for our rights, and do it quickly and decisively.
