CHANCE FOR
BETTER SERVICE
Now is the Tim for Our Gtizens to Secure an Up-to-date
Telephone System and Get Much Better
' Service. ' - -'
Special Agent J H McQillivray, of
the Paolflo States Telephone A Tele
graph company, who has been in tbe
city for tbe p j st week for tbe pur
pose of looking into tbe matter of
changing the present telephone B) stem
and installing a modern service, la
meeting with sac ess and says that
.nearly every patron of tbe company
. is highly In favor of the new project.
"I have seen about one half of the
subscribers so far and not less than
98 per cent of them . have signed op
the new contract," said he. The
citizens of Pendleton realize the lm.
' portanoe and value of the express
system and almost all are very anxi
; ous to be using the new servioe as
. soon as possible. I shall be able to
finish np tbe work by tbe middle of
tile week. The oompany will then
take immediate steps to install the
new system, and it is expected that
the work will be completed by the
last of July."
The essential features of the cbsnge
in the. telephone system are briefly
these: To discontinue the ten party
serviee and install a fpur party serv
ioe with two on a side and one and
two rings for signals from central; to
install an express system the same as
used at Portland and Spokane, with
the added improvement that all oner
sv will come from central instead of
beuTsupplied by local batteries. By
thia improvement all difficulty with
the dry batteries will be eliminated.
There will be a nomiual charge in the
raies for the new service, tbe four
party line to be 25 cents more than
the old ten nartv line rate; the main
line business will be 60 cents more,
while the main line residenoe service
will not be changed; the two party
line htisloesB Iwhioh 1b now on an ir
regular rate will be adjusted to
figure 50 less than oharged for the

FOR WARM WEATHER READING.
. ;
It will be well to keep in mind the3e deya that
we have a tery satisfactory line ot books and light
summer reading matter. '
Suitable reading is the safest and most proBU
able form of hot weather diversion. The late
publications are here; you can Bad just what you
like The price is light whether tbe literature is
heavy or light Never possible.before to get so
much reading for so little cojt. . ,

Is Only
rary
Low Prices on Stock Are Net
Cauted by Overproduction
ThiS is the Opinion of Ed
Kiddle.
Edward Kiddle of La Grande one
of tbe best known stock buyers in
Eastern Oregon was in the city yestor-
dr.y for a short time en route to Port
land to attend tbe Maeonio meetng
this week.
Mr Kiddle is perhaps in closer touoh
with tbe business in Eastern Oregon
than any other buyer in tbis district,
and bis opinion Is worth quoting.
. He believes tbat the low prices now
prevailing in the cattle market are
only temporary aud that alter the
rp.nge stock are in condition to turn
off prices and markets will he better
He thinks there is no cause for alarm
among cattle men even though there
is no market at this time. .
'. It is now very quiet all over lY.e In-
Tempo
'and Empire in tbiottlle businret bot
there is no overprodustion of cattle
aud the markets are constantly ex
