BRIDGE THIS GAP.

The Globe Belt announces the com pietion of the telephone line connect ing Globe with Roosevelt, the town at the Tonto Basin reservoir works. The completion of this line from Roose- Eelt to Globe connects this latter city with Phoenix, Prescott and Tucson.
 Now let the owners of the Tucson line build to Benson and connection VIII be made with all important points fn Cochise couEty-Benson. Tomb stone, Bisbee, Haco and Douglas. The distance from Tucson to Benson is only about forty-ave miles; with the building of the telephone line over this gap practically every important town in the territory except Yuma would be connected by phone. from Douglas to FlagstaT. This matter should be attended to at once. as it would be Of great convenience to the public.
 With a reasonable rate the line would get a good patronage; certainly inc amount of business which would go over the long distance line from Cochise county would soon return the money required to build line from Tucson to Benson.
 The long distance line would do a great deal more business if the mana gers would be more reasonable ip prices. There is TO cause for com plaint on the charges between Doug las and Bis5ee. but the tolls to Tomb stone and Benson are ridiculorsly high and the line might as well not be there. The telegraph line is used between all points in the county and Benson, rather than pay the out ssgeous tolls over the phone.
 Let the gap be filled in between Tucson and Blsbee a1d then if Mir. Hams refuses to be reasonable in his charges for long distance let the line Do extended on to Bisbee.
