 That the desire for ready communi cation between that part of the sul- phur Springs valley that is adjacent Co the Warren District is universal Is shown by the petitions that were Forwarded by the Commercial Club to Tombstone yesterday These peti tious were signed by 14O residents of that section of the valley. Further. it is shown, that no matter where those ranchers may trade now they desire Co obtam entrance to Bisbee and Low ell for of the signers 34 get their mail in Bisbee 33 in Lowell 33 in Douglas, 20 in McNeal while 20 do not specify their post office addresses.
 The petitions Of the ranchers point ont the steady settlement of the sec ton Of the valley in which the peti- tioners reside, their desire to market their produce here and to make their purchases from the local merchants the conditions that preclude this to large extent in the past summer and autumn. is the need of bridges at Taylor's sn7 the Double Adob. cross. . iigs and of road improvement. from these point Co the state highway lead ing to Lowell and Bisbee
