GERMAN BARONS COMING. FOR MUTUAL PHONES. Subscription Paper Presented to Pub licAn Expert in Town. The movement for a mutual tele phone system has taken shape by the presentation, of a subscription paper to the public. : This paper gives opportu nity to all who desire to take out membership , in the mutual line. It is the product of a sue session of confererjees between - the committee and an expert, formerly identified with similar systems in Ohio. Ke. arrived in Corvallis Thursday. He says that in Indiani Ohio, Illinois and . other Eastern States the ratio of mutual lines to the Bell system is as two to one, and that they are universally sue-1 Cessful. :.:w;rv!- ,' v '.'.J,-';: ., -The $ubscription paper is in , the hands "of Fred Clark. It places the initial sum to be paid by the sub scriber at $40 which covers the price of the telephone and jine construction, giving the subscriber ownership of the pbone. The" lat ter is to be a modern ; instrument, far superior to tho?e now in use in Corvallis.' The monthly rental of the phone - is : placed at 75 cents per mouth to each subscriber. That is 25 cents per month less than the 1 present cost of residence lines and but half the cost of office lines. The price is to stand at the . above figures for three"; years. If after experiment reduction is possible, it will be made. . If 206; subscribers can be secured the system will be installed. Thefprogress of the sub scription will be watched with in terest, 'y.
