A JUST PETITION

On Sdturuay nlSlI last nuLnDef or citizens, residents of upper Tomb stone canyon, to the number of thir- ty-five, petitioned the city council for a better road in that vicinity, recit- ing at length the following facts which cannot be denied:
 Risbee, Arizona, Oct. 18th, 1902.
 To the Hon. Mayor and Common Council of the city of Bisbee, your cit izens respectfully present and show:
 That the undersigned are resident owners of real estate lying adjacent to the public street commonly known as the old Higgins road in upper Tombstone canyon;
 That there is no other ingress and egress to the residences of your peti tioners except said road;
 That one Wm. Black claims be owns certain real estate that projects into said road distance of six or seven feet, and that said Black recently ob- tained or claimed to obtain from your honorable body permission to build a stone wall out into said street to the supposed Imit of his line, and that he contemplates, and is in part erecting said wall in said street;
 That said wall, when completed, will obstruct said street, and render pass-way for vehicles inconvenient, and in the rainy season impractical ble;
 Wherefore your petitioners pray your honorable body to appoint re viewers to view said street and that a guage be established sufficient for safe and comfortable passage, and that the city obtain from said Black such right to such passway as may be just and practicable"
 The city council came 10 the con clusion that MT Black was the owner of the ground above described, which is correct. .The petitioners complain, however, that in building the above mentioned wall that the passage way had been interfered with. This is also another fact in the case, and further more the road provided by MT. Black, which is at least one-half the width of the former old road, is impracticable and the first freshet that comes will render the new road impossible. The question arises, on whose land is the new road? If the old road was on the land owned by MT. Black, We are inclined to believe that the new road falls on ground owned by Mir Higgins and should that gentleman desire to fence in his property, the petitioners would have no mode of egress or in gress.
 The question also arises, for what length of time must a public highway be used. before it becomes public property?
 The city council will beyond a doubt in the near future be compelled to take further action regarding the Tombstone canyon road on lines of common sense and benefit to residents in that portion of town.

are in earnest for statehood. Whether our republican friends are, or not, re- mains to be proven. If it is asking too much for the republicans of Ari- zona to intercede with Roosevelt, let them say so now. and the democrats will undertake the work single-handed and alone.
 The people of Arizona, by their votes, have decided that the best in terests of statehood would be subserved by the election of democrat to con gress. This does not, by any means, lessen the republican responsibility in Arizona. If they have meant what they said. they will join with the dem ocrats in one grand effort to that end.
 As Mark Smith said in his last speech in Bisbee:
 If a republican is elected in Arizo- na. you saw my leg of, and then ask me to win a race"

,ME of the advantages of government ownership of telegraph lines are, in the first place, that it m sures secrecy, and unless there is such ownership there is pledge that messages given to com panies will be secret Again, UNDER \ GOV ERNMENT OWNERSHIP THERE IS AL WAYS A CHEAPER SERVICE, WHICH IS AN ADVANTAGE TO THE PEOPLE.
 In the matter of railroads there arc the same advantages of cheaper rate and good service. Look at the matter in another light. What right has railroad to hold town village at its mercy by saying that the line shall not through that place or make it accessible unless the officials of that road are satisfied or so desire?

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York May 16.-The conspicuous
feature of today's weak stock market
was entire lack of any support from de-
mand at any stage of the decline. Even
the room shorts, who almost invariably
cover short contracts at the end of a
day of declining prices showed no solitude
about covering and the market seemed
entirely to lack resilliency. The liqui-
dation was not heavy but such as it was
was very general. While the decision of
the anthracite miners for a strike was
the oStenSible cause of the weakness, the
depression was not confined to the coal
ers, nor was it particularly conspicuous
there. Reading early led the list in point
Of activity, but allowing for its hall
shares. the sales were but little in eX-
cess of those of Union Pacific. The three
point decline in Reading was fairly at
tributahle to the fact that it has been
selected as the representative of recent
speculative confidence in the coal trade
outlook. The other coalers shared about
equally with the weakness of the general
market. which is reported by quite uni
form losses of from one to three points.
The undertaking assurance that there
would be no strike which has been eX-
pressed throughout the period since a
strike was threatened by all represen-
tatives of the controlling interests in
the cOalerS leaves no room for doubt
that the final decision to strike was a
surprise. Confidence in a favorable out
come of the struggle to the benefit of the
coal operators continued to be expressed
in Wall Street today But this could
not alter the general impression that a
prolonged and serious struggle is i'll pros
poet. 1t did not need the formal an
nouncement by President Mitchell of the
purpose of the miners to make the strike
national mining strike to awaken anX-
iety over the possible extension of the
labor trouble by sympathy into other
fields and especially into the bituminous
coal fields. The collateral effects of such
an extension are easy to understand but
difficult to estimate. The effect upon
the iron and steel industries, already
struggling with scarcity of material of all
kinds would be most notable. The iron
and steel stocks shared in the general
weakness. Reports of an advance of four
dollars ton in the price of Southern
iron rather strangely added to the de-
preston. as it is felt that the mainten
ance of the high level of consumption is
dependent anon the sustained steadiness
of the price. Attention was given also

THE COTTON SITUATION.
Theodore H. Price Answers Numerous inquiries
in the Subioined Statement
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
New York. May 16-During the past
few days many erroneous reports have
been circulated concerning my opinion in
regard to the course of cotton prices ANA
my position in the market. AS result.
have received numerous kilograms
from all over the country inquiring as to
the correctness of these reports: AS !
cannot reply to all these inquiries per
sonally, and as ] am unwilling to leave
these who attach any value to my opin-
ion under a misapprehensiOn, l am COM
PEELED to adopt this somewhat egetistcal
method of making my position clear.
On the 2Sth of April, having sold out
the cotton l controlled, l so stated in
public interview, expressing at the same
time the opinion that prices would still
further advance. July deliveries in New
York on that date closed at 9.17: They
subsequently sold at go, thus justifying
my prediction of higher prices.
Since that date my opinions have been
unimportant, and at present l have so
clearly defined my opinion in regard to
the market. Statistically considered the
position promises to become almost in
vincible by the end of the season, assum-
ing consumption to continue at the pres
ent rate, but on the other hand, the
tightness of money and increasing lethar
gy of speculation in Wall Street, and
fear that the coal strike. which now in
wolves the idleness of 49, 900 men, earn
ing possibly 100000 FER day in wages,
may extend until it iFcludes other i'm
portant industries, ale influences that
make against the value of cotton both
directly and indirectly and as long as
the next crop continues to promise we'll,
it seems unlikely that the speculation in
cotton can be resuscitated.
In view of these conditions l cannot
advise others to do what l am unwilling
to do myself namely, buy cotton. At
the same time l do not wish to be under
stood even by implication, as advising
speculative selling.

New York, May 16.-The cotton mar

points lower under active foreign and
Wall Street selling, prompted by weak
ness in Liverpool, reports of further
general rains iE the belt and generally
cheerful crop accounts. Belief that a
prominent Wall Street cotton operator
was leading a large selling movement
in the summer months frightened would
be buyers and disheartened smaller
longs. The first wave of selling did not
sutside until July had dropped to SSS
and August to S5S Then came quicl;

for light receipts tomorrow. bullish pre-
diCtions for the week end statements,

belt July stiffened to SJ2 and August

appearance of doing still better, though

Once more Wall Street selling became

ance of the session the room was in a

reached less than S00G bales and export
cleararces were nearly $4,000 bales. The

opened down three to six points all along
the line and fell away three to four
points additional thereafter. This con-
dition was followed by an improvement
which wiped out the greater part of the
loss Later on. however, a reaction set
in and prices declined rapidly, the mar
kct closing with net losses of six to thir-
teen points.

chanics. .tt- .!
The Governor said he had had a splen-
did time, and had enjoyed his trip hugely,
The whole affair reflected the greatest
credit upon the management, and every
thing went off smoothly. THE speeches
at the banquet that followed Immediately
after the meeting said Governor Ay-
cock "were of very high order indeed
Then he thought a moment, and added:
Durham is a very live town.
Then the Educational Governor spoke:
"And the average length of the school
term in Durham county is greater than
that2of any other scountytin@the State"
