come Interesting statistics are avail

vice In former years, there has been a
steady decrease In revenue per sub-,
scrlber's station, showing ' that now
the average subscriber pays for a
higher grade, more comprehensive ser
vice, less than half what he paid 16
years ago for the much less useful ser
vice which was then' possible '. -'
The Bell company's toll lines now
reach 70,000 places, which Is 5,000
more than the number of postofflces
In the United States, and 10,000 more
than the railroad station. The tote!
wire mileage has been increased to
nearly 13,000,000 miles, of which over
half Is underground, and the new 450
mile subway between . Boston and
Washington 'has been completed ex

cable.

objection made to Senator Bourne is
'that his interests are in Massachusetts
and not in Oregon; that he has visited
Oregon but three times in the past six

progressives of ' the republicans and
apparently 'will make a strong run for
