 Echoes Of the county sest fight in
 Cochise county between Douglas Bis .

 reached congress. At least it has been brought forcibly to the attention of Delegate Ralph Cameron from that
 territory. by petitions asking for special iegislstion through congress authorizing a referendum vote on the county seat question, but the delegate is loath to take sides or become inter ested in the matter one way or an other. All three places contain many friends of his but to attempt to get a special act through now in the clos ing days of the session would resolve itself into 6 greater tack than proS- ably he or any other member would be at'e to perform.
