POOR TELEPHONE SERVICE,
Pacific States Telephone Co. Do Nothing
to Improve Poor Service.
About year J one-half go a
franchise was granted by the city cmin
il to the Home Telephone Company for
the construction and operation of a new
telephone ayatem, but nothing ha jvt
been done by that company in the way
of constructing the system.
When the frauehie was granted tlie
Fa.ifio States Telephone 4 Telegtwph
Company was profuse in its promises of
an overhauling and rejuvenating of their
plant. A lot wa purchased for the site
f a modern station and plana for the
building prepared. A new switchboard
was reported a being prepared at San
Francisco for installation and a fine up-to-date
system was to be constructed.
Xot a thing has been done toward im
proving the plant and today Astoria is
afflicted with an absolute telephone sy
tem that would be a disgrace to a vil
la 2e f 500 inhabitants. The old system
of ringing up '"central" such as we have
bas been discarded for years by towns
not one-half the iie or importance of (
Astoriit j
Tho-e in charge of the station here
are uMng their best endeavors to give
good service but handicapped as they are :
by the poor system placed in their hands
they cannot make much headway. I
Cannot something be done towards
Astoria getting a better telephone sys
tem! Has the lack of work of install- ,
ing on the part of the Home Company
any connection with the failure of the
Pacific States people to keep their
promises to Astoria!
If the Pacific States Company cannot
equip their lines and station with mod
ern instruments and give Astoria the
service to which she is entitled to some
steps should be taken to compel them
to. If the company will not do bettor
than it is now doing it should withdraw
from the field and let some other com
pany handle the nutter. A company
composed of local business men or
capitalists handling a modern telephone
system may be the only solution of the
difficulty.
)t is up to the Pacific States people
to put a littel ginger in tlte rebuilding
of their poor excu-e for a telephone sys
tem ! . re and i us the sjstem that

completion of a line from Eugene to
Springfield, but as there has been no
move toward building a bridge across
the Willamette River, it is thought that
the line will not lie started at all this

Springfield, will be used by the electric

circumstance connected with the pres

Endcavorer of Seattle to wk revenge.
The African Christian Endcavorer de
clare that it was impossible for their
fellow to attend the 0. R. convention
on an eiiml footing with the white
delegates and they are tryijig to ar
range to obtain the use of one of the
luijic tent for the pmpo-e of holding a
aerie of national evanpel'Kic meetings
for the exclusive use of the African of
America.
White persona will be permitted to at
tend the meetings, but will not lie al
lowed t otake part in the programme.
Thev will not lie allowed to attend the
meeting as Christian Kiideavoi1 dele
gates, but must do so M IndMduaJal II

to get Booker T. Washington to come
