Improving the Phone System. To date there has been laid over 13,000 feet of the water mains In the streets of this city. This Is very nearly one-half of the entire amount to be laid. At tbe present rate of progress the pipe will all have been laid by the first day of July. A month will then be left for the test inr of the pipe and the refilling of the trenches. ' So far the testing; has progressed without the finding of any serious flaws. One section of the pipe had to be taken out and replaced as the pipe was cracked, causing a leak. As far as the work done by the con tractors la concerned It has been highly satisfactory, none of the joints leaking even when the pipe was subjected to a pressure of as high as 200 pounds to the square inch. The contractor has to put tbe pipe In so that there will not be any serious leakage under a 100-pound pressure. The higher pressure was put on by the city officials to test the pipe. Yesterday a plug that was placed in the end of one of the mains blew out and for a little while there was something doing In that Immediate vicinity. The pumping plant was no tified as soon as possible and the water was shut off, although before ... was stopped we street was flood- ed. A force of men Is engaged at pres ent In refilling the trenches In whlcb the pipeline has been tested and this work of refilling the trenches will be continued as rapidly as possible. Today the mains on D'Anjou street and other streets on the north side of Seventh and west of the rail road will be tested. Seventh street mains are to be tested soon so that the work of re filling the trenches on that street may be finished as soon as possible, so that the trenches will be tamped properly and the earth properly set-! tied before the grading for the pav ing of the street Is undertaken.

Patterson, the Medford representative for the Pacific tele phone company, Is putting forth ev ery effort possible to Improve the service in Medford and in valley points. When the new switchboard Is In position and operating very nearly every line In the Medford service will be tested daily. Espe cially will this apply to all profes sional men's offices and the business houses, which will be called every morning. Extra caution will be placed on all police and fire lines. Inese lines will be tested by calls three times dally. The red-light slgnat spoken of a few days ago in the columns of The Morning Mail will also be used as a fire signal and when a fire alarm is turned In the red light will be Hashed. Further Improvements In the val ley service of the company have been made at Central Point. There are seven lines out from Central Point and there are 60 of these suburban and rural patrons that Is, 60 phones on these private lines which are maintained by the patrons and are connected with the main line for a charge of $1 per year, but this ser vice has hardly been satisfactory, and now Mr. Patterson has taken the matter up with them and has ar ranged to Improve the service In var ious ways. There will be a central operator employed by the company at Central Point and free switching will be given with Medford and a 15 cent charge with Jacksonville. In order tp bring about this service It has been necessary to Increase the annual rental to $3 for each phone, in the place of $1 as now charged. Nearly all the 60 patrons have signed the new contracts. The operator will be at the switch board from 6 In the morning until 6 at night, and then, after an hour for lunch, she will be at the board again until 8. This continuous ser vice during the day will give the farmers an opportunity to talk with Central Point and Medford business men during the noon hour. These Improvements ought to be appreciated by the patrons and un doubtedly will be, and while It Is good for them, It at the same time will add new business for the company. Card of Thanks.
