Benson May Be

Benson may be 8 temporary head quarters for some of Uncle San. 6 troops during the Mexican revolution, according to the Cochise County Press:
 l. is learned that owing % the slow. ness with which communication reaches Ft, Huachuca where General schuyler in commanG of all move men's on the hoIder, that Il is just possible the troops may ell be moved tn Benson AS the most objective point on the line from where to send out detachment. to any point on the bor- der owing to exceptional railroad fsc- il.t'es enjoyed there and the rapidity with which troops can be sent to No- gales, Naco or Dnuglss, or west, for that matter. The fact is troops can be dispatched from Benson and reach Nogalfs as quick AS from Ft. Hus- chura Then again, as stated above, the commanding officer Is in direct touch hy telegraph with the outside world and direct communication by telephone with sil border points. Then again the commanding officer and his staff have the opportunity to make daily trips to the different camps.
 The Press sdds: It is understood that :he general in command is i'm. pressed with Benson's position and has about decided that it is the point for him and that he has been making inquiries for hotel accomods s'ions for h;mself and staff and may possibly move his command, consisting of 300 men and horses, now at Ft. Hus- chucs. to this place and go to camp. Supplies to the number of 25 care, containing Iced, etc, are en route from the east at the present time for distribution to different points and the sdvisability of stopping them at Benson for distribution instead of taking them to Ft. Huschucs is con- sidered.

No Special
 Legislation In Sight

United States Press Associstion.)
 Washington, D. C., Feb. l3. A county sea, fight Of large proportions is trying to make it's way into the sf- fairs of Congress, but with the con- gested condition of legislation there IS DO probab lity that the citizens of Douglas and Blshee, who are am. bilious to remove the seat Of Cochise County from Tombstone to one of the former cities, will receive considera- ton at tine present session.
 It has been pointed out by the peo- ple from Arizona that the romantic old town Of Tom bstone which became the county seat in 1882, has suffered greatly from the shutting of some of it's mines and 1t no longer in the front rank regarding population, ss compares with rivals for county seat honors.
 To those who understand the Con gressionsl situation, the futility Of at tempting to secure action byCongress, on a purely local matter SO late in the session is obvious.
 There have been many visitors here from Arizona of late, and some Of these gentlemen who are not directly interested in the controversy, have pointed out to your correspondent the fact that the territorial statutes pro- vide a method by which question of this kind may be submitted to the electorate.
 The attitude of the committee on territories Tn reference to legislation regarding matters that can be handled by the people or local authorities O! territory, was distinctly shown in the repor. 0! the tax levy 5ii. in which ali matters that could be left to the dis cretion of the board Of control was eliminated from the bill, the com mittee going on record at the time in expressing an opinion that they did not wish to legislate in matters which they could avoid.
