Henry Fountain Ashurst, junior United States senator from Arizona, addressed the Labor Day picknickers at Granite Dells yesterday.
 Assuring those present that he had always been a friend of organiz- ed labor, he added that he had ever tried to be frank friend as well. The success of union labor depends on its winning and holding the esteem and confidence of the public Hence wis dom would suggest that moderation. prudence, absolute fairness and good Judgment he always exercised by union labor.
 The condition of labor in the United States is better than that of any other country in the world, be- cause men who labor are, in this country, more enlightened and fairer than in any other country.
 The high cost of living is very dis dressing. It is phenomenon that makes itself manifest at the close of every great war. Any man who would profiteer on food will eventually meet the contempt of the public. The es- tablishment Of municipal markets ill every community so the food stuffs grown by the farmer could be got ten to the consumer without passing through the hands of SO many mid dle men IS most salutary reform, and will eventually be accomplished" Y"

PHOENIX, Sept. 4. - When the Colorado river carved its tortuous path down through the red sand stones of the north it cut off from the northwest portion of Arizona virgin empire lSO miles in length and averaging 60 miles in width This territory embracing nearly llOO0 square miles is larger than New Jer- @ev and Delaware or of Maryland and Rhode Island It is nearly as large as Massachusetts and Connecticut combined; it IS larger than either Vermont or New Hamshire and con tains nearly as many square miles as Belgium. s-..-s
 How to bring about the opening up of the Arizona Strip, and make of it an integral part of the state, has been one of the ambitions of Gov. Thomas E. Campbell, since he first took office. This territory, except for widely separated settlements IS prac- tically uninhabited Here and tHere some hardy soul has staked out a homestead, but for the most part the country is q mere wilderness ot DIG turesuue mountains and fertile Piains' but with very little done toward de veloping the resources of either.
 The Arizona strip has for many years been used as range for sheep and cowmen.
 Anxious to see something of the natural resources of this country, Governor Campbell recently made 2 trip by automobile, and returned more determined than ever that something should be done to develop this won derland Of natural resources.
 As the first step in this direction the governor has written to the sec retary of the interior asking for an immediate survey of suhc lands as arc suitable for homeSteading with the further request that they be designat- ed for taking up under enlarged homestead act which allows the settler to hold 640 acres
 But first of all. the governor says the strip needs good roads, aud as the first step be is virtually interested in the plans Of the state highway de- partment fer building the highway north from Kingnan to the Utah line thus forming a southern extension oi the famous Arrowhead trail
 The proposed extension of the Ar rowhead trail into Arizona will not only provide an avenue of intercourse with the ncighboring state, but will form a logical gateway to the strip :; from southern points.
