 If MT. Roosevelt is actually sui fering with love and affection for Arizona, it seems as if he would do something toward untying the New Mexican knot and help Arizona along to single statehood. Talk is cheap. What the people of Ari zona want is an official act just a simple recommendation in the next message to congress. In this man. ner MT. Roosevelt can prove his love and affections of our giddy rough riders.-Phoenix Enterprise.
 The Arizona Cattleman says: Up in Gila county one stockman was heard to say that he could not turn a sharp curve in a lane without running onto an Arizona ranger He said he did not know what they were doing up there. He said he did not know what to do with his motherless calves, as the rangers and inspectors said he should pro- duce at least one COW to every two calves, as most well-regulated Ari- zona COWS should not be indecent enough to have more than two calves at a time.
