Colonel Pickett
 Still Boosting

Colonel H. L. Pickett when last heard from was in Washington, D. o., where he submitted to an ensnare- ment by a lynx-eyed news gstherer of the Daily Post. Colonel Pickett is ever doing missionary work for Ari- zona in general and Cochise county and Tombstone in particular. The colonels recent talk to tn, Washing ton Poet was in keeping with his in- terviews by the press of other cities. His remarks are predicsted upon facts gleaned by . tireless student as to our progress and possibilities and an in- ali.nable friend of Arizona
 The PRosPEcroR would like to see our entire population embodied into one great "Booster Club for Arizona" with Colonel Picket at is head ss gen. ersl director. We need more boosters and fewer knockers. Were each man who leaves the territory on business or pleasure to assume the role of an agent and dilate upon our achieve ments in commercial pursuits and point the glowing possibilities of the future-as Colonel Pickett is always pleased to do-the influx to the "sun. kissed territory" would have been that great as to defy the United { States senate when we manifested 6 desire to don the habiliments statehood. Let us all join in emulation of Col. Pickett, and the day of our freedom from political thraldom will soon ar- rive.

YALE MAN TALKS
 OF CONGO AFFAIRS

New Haven, Conn.,, December 1S.--(Spe- cial.)-Prof. Arthur M. Wheeler of Yale today declared that he believed the re- ports of the atrocities of the Congo had been doctored by the English and that these reports were inspired by the desire of the English to obtain for themselves the territory of the state to enable them to complete their Cape-to-Cairo railroad.
 eff everything said against King Leo pold were true he would be no blacker than the rest of then," said Professor Wheeler.
 There is a vast deal of exaggeration i nthe reports of the cruelties in the Congo, without doubt. If you will take a map of Africa you will see that the route of the Cape-to-Cairo railroad runs diagonally across the state. hence the attempt by the English to blacken the record of Leopold. England will get the territory eventually, I suppose, and these reports of the cruelty of the Belgians sent out from English sources. are in line with the policy of the British.
 '1f there is anything worse than the operations of the British in Africa I do not know of it. The way they treated the Zulus moving them down with Cat ling guns, is hardly worse than the cruel ties attributed to the Belgians. Then, too, they sent down to the coast cargoes of gin and some one has told me that there are enough gin bottles at the port of entry to make pile as high as one of the pyramids"
