A. H. Gardner of Tombstone, Receives Promise that Unless Matter is Taken to Court, Pullman Will Soon Be In Effect.
A. H. Gardner of Tombstone, while in Phoenix on aSaturday called on the corporation commission of the state of Arizona and received the promise that an order was in preparation which would assure the people of Cochise county a through Pullman, to and from Phoenix. Mr. Gardner received the statement from Commissioner Cole that the order would go into effect very quickly unless it was taken into court.
The necessity for through Pullman service between Southern Cochise county points and Phoenix has been apparent for months. Many efforts have been made to secure the order. Through Mr. Gardner's and other prominent people's efforts, from this region of the state, it would seem that the long deferred action is about to be taken.
It was learned in Phoenix by the Tombstone man that the Willcox Chamber of Commerce had sent in a petition, signed by a number of residents in that little town, protesting against the establishment of the service. It is understood that the names of fthe signers of this petition will be made public.
Mr. Gardner is elated over his conference with the commission and over the promise that the order will be issued. The establishment of through service will mean much to the traveling public of Tombstone, Bisbee, Douglas and other towns south of Tucson along the line of the Southwestern.
