Jerome Afraid of Flasstaff.

The Jerome Reporetr in it's last issue says: Jerome merchants and citizens must act to protect their commercial interests in the Verde valley. If Jerome merchants care to keep what trade they have with the Verde valley and gain more they should not let the citizens of CocOnino, and especially of Flagstaff, show greater enterprise in arranging for easy communication be- tween the valley and Jerome. The Yavapai board of supervisors is not especially solicitous for the welfare of this section. In fact it would do no harm 10 follow the lead of Flagstaff people and petition them to do some- thing worth while for roads on this side of the mountain.
