POSTAL TO STRING
THICK PHONE WIRE
Seattle Superintendent Order
ered to Install Copper
Strands Over System.
PORTLAND TO BE INCLUDED
rian I to Extend Service Within
Reach of All Independent Com
panies That Lone-DlMince
right May Be Waged.
SEATTLE. Wa.-h.. Dec. 22. iSpeclal.)
Evidence that the Postal Telegraph
Cable Company will stage in Pttle a
part of Its fight against the Bell tele
phone svstem. is shown In Instructions
which Minor M. Davis, of New York.
recntlv appointed superintendent of
telephones of the Postal Telegraph
Company, sent today to J. A. Freehand,
district superintendent for the company
for Western Washington. These order
him to proceed without delay o string
additional heavy copper wires betwee
all Important points on the Postal sys
tem to extend the use of the wires to
Independent telephono companies.
One such Invasion of the long-distance
field formerly held by the Bell
system alone Is -the line between Ta
coma and Spokane, by way of Seattle,
leased to the Interstate Telephone
Company, of Spokane. This line has
been In operation for a month. That
no such line is In operation between
Seattle and Portland and Seattle and
Spokane Is attributed to a failure to
effect a working agreement with the
Seattle Independent Telephone Com
pany. Anticipating some arrangement,
however, whereby these extensions can
be made. District Superintendent Free
hand will proceed directly to stringing
heavy copper wires to the end that tney
may be employed for telephone service
aa well as telegraph.
EFFECT HERE TO BE SLIGHT
Portland-San Franolx) Phone Hate
May Be Cot Early Next Year.
If a traffic agreement Is made be
tween the Postal Telegraph Company
and the Home Telephone Company of
Portland, negotiations for which are
said to be tn progress at San Francisco,
It Is not likely that local long-distance
business will be affected.
It Is admitted by both the Postal
officials and officials of the Home
Telephone Company tn Portland that
an arrangement soon will be entered
Into whereby the long-distance calls
between Portland and San Francisco
will ha handled over the Postal wires
at reduced rates. It Is probable, they
say. that the new service will go Into
effect soon after the first of the year.
Definite conditions of the agreement
hava not been determined, however.
The reason that'state and Nor' h west
ern wires are not to be Involved to any
great extent in th new arrangement
Is that the Bell Telephone Company,
through Its subsidiary corporation, the
Pacific Telephone Telegraph Com
pany, controlls virtually all the long
distance traffic to the exclusion of tho
rival concern.
The Home or Independent companies
control a chain of wires between Port
land and the state Una on the south,
and It Is said that through service to
San Francisco will be handled by way
of the various exchanges owned by
them In conjunction with the Postal
facilities. The Albany Home Telephone
Company, the Corvallis Home Tele
phone Company, the Oregon City Home
Telephone Company, the Home Tele
phone Company of Southern Oregon,
operating In Jackson County, and the
United Telephone Company of Wood
hurn. Marlon Connty. are among those
that ran be utilised In the proposed
service.
In the Columbia River counties and
In many sections of Eastern Oregon the
Bell and the Independent Interests have
come to an "understanding" whereby
th Bell Interests have exclusive use
of the long-distance wires, while the
independents handle the local traffic.
This has the effect of reducing the ex
pense of operation for both companies,
yet makes every business insn keep
both telephones tn. his office, thereby
giving both companies a revenue.
Thla stuatlon. tt is said. Is particu
late pronounced In Washington County.
If a merchant In Hlllsboro wants to
talk to a Jobbing house In Portland he
has to use the Bell wires. The local
business In the City of Hlllsboro is In
the hands of the Independents. There
fore he has to have a Home telephone
In his office too.
There is some Independent long-distance
service between towns of South
ern Oregon, but the business ta said
to be light. What will be the effect of
a long-distance agreement for service
between Portland and San Francisco
and Ita bearing upon future trade re
lations between the two cities cannot
be forseen readily by Portland business
men or by telephone officials either.
As a matter of fact there Is no great
amount of telephone service between
the two towns. There Is a certain
degree of busines severy day. but It Is
not believed that a reduction of rates
or even a rate war will Increase the
Tolum of conversation.
Many Portland residents would
rather see the rival telephone com
panies a little more active In their
compet'tion for local business Instead
of declaring rate reduction for long
distance service.
OREGON MURDER CITED
NEW MEXICAN RANCHER SAYS
HE SLEW KIMMEL.
Insurance Company Attorneys Pick
t"p Witness When He Tells Abont
Glas Jars of Gold.
ST. IX'l'lf. Dec. 21. Attorneys of the
New York Life Insurance Company thla
afternoon applied the "acid test" to
one of the detaila tn the remarkable
story of John B. Swlnney. by whose
testimony other attorneys are trying
to show that George A. Klramel. the
famous Mies. Mich, man of mystery,
was murdered In an Oregon forest
while on a search for buried gold in
AuguM. ISO.
Swlnney. a rancher of Naravisa. N.
M.. who says he killed the man who
killed Klmmel. in his deposition on
rross-examtnation tells how he and his
comrades dug up two half-gallon g:ass
fruit Jars, one containing 9 and the
other 104 $20 gold pieces, a total of
14000. Each of the Jars, he said, was
a little more than half full and he sup.

r THNCLOTHIIiGe
166-170 THIRD ST.-
posed two Jars were used because one
would nrt quite hold the whole.
John F. Green, one of the insurance
company's lawyers, took close note on
this part of the testimony, then went
to a bank, stopping on his way to buy
a half-gallon fruit Jar.
He took the Jar Into the bank and
his 200 shining double eagles were
brought in by a clerk. At Green's re
quest, the clerk emptied the coins Into
the jar. They filled It hardly one
third full.
Green then returned to the deposi
tion taken and told his colleagues of
the result of his test.
Swlnney told of a pact of silence be
tween himself and the late R. M. Sny
der, of Kansas City, to keep the cir
cumstances of Kimmel's death a secret.
Snyder, he said, agreed to tell no one
of the hunt for gold, in which they.
Klmmel and J. A. Johnson engaged, of
the murder of Klmmel by Johuaon and
the slaying of Johnson by Swlnney.
A son of the late R. M. Snyder has
written to lawyers that his father was
in New York at the time of the killing.
LIVING COST HALTS SANTA
a
State Insane Patients Will Not Be
Visited by Kris This Year.
SALEM. Or.. Xec. 12. (Special.)
The high cost of living, coupled with a
statement of the present state board
that there would be no more deficien
cies In institution funds, have robbed
ench of the patients of the State In
sane Asylum of the customary Christ
mas present which has been aiven for
years. The bids of yesterday which
placed beef at 19.78 and assured an In
creased cost of f200 a month for that
one article, alone, caused Superintend
ent Steiner to gasp when the mainte
nance appropriation was taken into con
sideration, and the Individual Christmas
presents, which have been a feature In
the asylum every year, will be elim
inated. At that Institution the annual Christ
mas dinner and entertainment will be
given. At the entertainment 174
pounds of turkey will be furnished
and 1112 worth of candy. The en
tertainment will be given next Monday
afternoon and will include several fea
tures which the asylum authorities
hope will csuse the patients to forfet
the annual visit of Santa Claua with his
well-laden pack.

confident was the company that the
request for a franchise would be
granted.
The company asks for the prlvilepe
of laying a double track in case the
business demands it and for the right
to erect and maintain lines for tele
phone and telegraph service along the
route. The application for a franchise
provides for the putting on of baggaca
cars to carry package freight, and the
company agrees to have the line of
car service in operation within a few
months.
The matter Is to be finally passed
upon by the Council at a meeting to
be held Thursday night, but the enthu
siasm in support of the application is
so great that there Is little doubt but
that It will be granted.
