giving the fullest publicity to the rss- olutions of our chamber of commercs on the subject. a copy of which has been sent you.
 Yours very truly.
 e. O. ELLIS"
 BIshee's Stand Justified.
 There was 8 great deal of elation at board of trade headquarters when the communication from MT. Ellis was received and there was feel ing that Bfsbee's stand as to the ! unjustuess of the Hereford route of the territorial highway had been : completely justifed by the action of ! all of the towns of the county. The | letter from MT. Ellis arrived on the morning train from rouglas and it was taken for granted that the res ! olutions of the Douelas chamber | would bear MT. Ellis ont in his state ment as to Do.glas' attitude on the matter. The resolutions did not ar l rive until afternoon.
 The resolutions, printed below, do not bear out MT. Ellis statement, for while fsyoring route by way Of ! Tombstone, St. David and Benson, it appears that the Douglas chamber forgot all about Bisbee.
 Following were resolutions passed by the Douglas Chamber of Com referred to in MT. Ellis communi' cation to the Bisbee board of trade:
 The Resolutions.
 Whereas: The Douelas Chamber of Commerce and Mines had informa-
 ton that the route o' the pronosed Territorial highway through Coch:se county led 1t through what has been termed the Hereford route" to the connection with the line through Pima county, and
 Whereas, No other route mad been
 desighsted or talked about, it wss
 the natural conclusion that the
 Hereford route" was the official route selected by the Board Of Con
 trol, and
 Whereas. A portion of this route
 was in need Of immediate work fC , make 1t passable for vehicles of any
 Kind. this Chamber of Commerce. anc Mines authorized It's secretarv t'
 correspond with the commercial or ganizations of Bisbee and Tucson C f the end that such repairs as wer'
 necessary be made as quickly as th' Poard of Control could do the worK l and
 D Whereas, The action Of this Cham f her has heeu uniustly condemned II
 certain circles and this condemna 2 tion without any attempt to asceI
 tain the facts in the cast, it bein 5 made to appear that Douglas favore' ! a sion of a ro1te through other ant
 more ropulous parts of the county F particularly through the towns 0 ]. Tombstone. St. David and Bensor l which route had not teen designate a by the Board of Control nor any oth e CT body as the route for such hlgn |. way, and ! seWhereas. it has always been tn n rolicy of Douglas to use the inn j. ence at its command to further tn
 interests of the entire county rathe '- tran of any particular locality, he ( Heving that what is goo7 Tor tn l. masses is good for the entire count r. ard in the sririt which has alway n characterized our actiops' we stan l. ready to lend OFT aid to every worth s rroiect, there ore be it
 Resolved: That the Douglas Gran |; ! Ter of Commerce and Mines, VII t the interests of Co"hise county ere | uprerwost, favors the ro"te for tn D Territorial highway through th g communities of Tomtstone, St ;. Pavfd and Berson. 1T it may D ' fo-nd by the Territorial En9inee and Board of Control to he nract
 cable, and we sIand rea7v to use O. 2 influence in behalf Of the towns ,. Tombstone, st. David and Ben@o Il in their e~orts looking to a cha1S
 rom the route which has been de'
 iensted as the Hereford route DO Y Iieving the route through Tombston' ~ St David and Benson will lHc7mr. { n date a greater number of our popui' v tion."
