TELEPHONES ALLJN AIR Board of Trade Used to Back One Proposition. NEW SYSTEM PROPOSED Frank Andrews Intends to Or ganize a Company to Aid the Lines of the Farmers. if The city will he compelled to enact l ordinance for underground wires tho telephone systems that are talked about all materialise. Iu ad ' ditlon to the existing Pacific States Telophono and TeleKiaph Company's lino, and the- proposed Independent company that is being fostered by the Hoard of Trade, Prank Andrews has a schene to construct and maintain a co-operative telephone system in the limits of the city. Mr. Andrews argues thnt the fundamental principle of co opori'tlou is to obtain an article at as near the cost of production as pos sible, thereby retaining the profits In the bands of the people. Ho Issues the following prospectus: 1. To erect and maintain a tele phone system In Oregon at actual cost to the people. 1!. The membership fee shall be $1, for which shall bo Issued one share of stock, which will entitle the member to tbo full benetlt of the co-operative system. 3. All stock, except membership stock, shall be paid an annual divi dend at a rato not to exceed 10 per cent per annum. The common stock shall be sold to the best advantage, redeemable at any time by the com pany. 4. The operating expenses shall be assessed monthly and together with tho monthly dividend and maintain ence fund, shall make the total as sessment to be divided pro rata among the members using telephones. 5. All political influence shall be eliminated from the management. Any member holding office in city, county or state shall not be eligible to office, and any presont official who shall he come a nominee or candidate for pub lic office shall immediately resign. 6. The assessment as provided in Article 4, shall be used as a basis, and shall bo the entire cost to those owning their telephones. All users of telephones shall. furnish their own bat teries and pay all charges for repairs to the telophone In use by them. About half the required capital stock of $10,000 for the inauguration of the proposed local telephone sys tem was subscribed at the meeting of tho Board of Trade Friday night. Mr. De Varney was expected to be pres ent, but ho was unable to come to Oregon City. However, the matter was thoroughly discussod, and enough stock was subscribed to remove any doubt as to tho beginning of the en terprise. It Is proposed to merge all the Interests of the nine Independent companies doing business In Clacka mas County. Assurance was given Friday night, that the Automatic Tel ephone Company will be ready for business at Portland in a few months, and this will give the new Oregon City company the necessary connection for long distance. Secretary J. U. Camp bell, of the Hoard of Trade, Is pushing the proposition. Frank Andrews, promoter and prin cipal stockholder of the Farmers Tele phone Company, has organized an In dependent telephone company at Cen tral Point in the vicinity of New Era, with the following officers; George Randall, Sr., president; J. M. Olds, vice-president; George Randall, Jr., secretary and treasurer; August Stae ley, Frank Andrews and David Pen mann directors. It is the purpose of tho company to make up one line with ten subscribers to use Hell nbones and connect with the Oregon City Ex change of tho Pacific States Telephone Company, In order to secure long dis tance service. An Independent ser vice will bo Inaugurated and main tained in conjunction with the Farm ers Telephone Company line between Adklns Mill and Oregon City, a dis tance of about nine miles. From 50 to 75 phones will be on this line. G. W. Scramlln, C. I. Miller, A. J. Strubhar and S. N. Strubhar have In corporated the Farmers Home Tele phone Company. Tu Incorporators are the owners of Independent sys tems which have been consolidated with the principal places of business at Canhy. On Mr. Scramlin's line there are 200 telephones and on Mr. Miller's 130 phones. The capital stock is $10,000 divided into 2000 shares at $5 per share. The object of the company Is to own, control, build, equip, operate, sell, dispose of or rent telephones. The company will oper ate in the vicinity of Macksburg, Hub bard and Aurora. "HOOLIGAN'S TROUBLES" COMING One of the most promising attrac tions on the road this season which will appear here is Manager Arthur J. Aylssworth's three act farce com edy, entitled "Hooligan's Troubles," which during the past seasons has made thousands laugh. The plot is Ingenious and at the same time com prehensive. The story briefly sum marizes the predicaments of Hooligan and is taken from the pictorial rep resentations of his doings in San Fran cisco, Chicago, and New York papers. "Hooligan" is supported by pretty girls, a hatallion of comedians and has a good scenic background. The comely is considered one of the best of a farcial nature ever presented and its reception elsewhere has been flattering. Readers of newspapers, fa miliar with the pictorial trials of "Hoo ligan" will naturally be glad to see his troubles on the stage in a representa tion of real life. The author intro duces complications and uproarously funny misunderstandings. The hero of tatters and troubles has been drama tized into one of tho greatest farcial hits of the day. "Hooligan's Troubles" will be at Shlvely's opera house on Monday night. Everybody Drinks Weinhard's Beer Mrs. Ella J.
