Farmers Telephone Company.
(Special from Alsea.)
The rural telephone line in Alsea has
been in operation for more than two
weeks, and is giving complete satisfac
tion. Alsea is proud of the distinction of
being among the first sections in this
part of the state to launch out on a free
and independent rural system.
The plan of operation, which was not
adopted without careful and thoughtful
consideration, is meeting with the ap
proval of all concerned.- We give below
a few of the articles of the by-laws, which
will be of interest to other rural lines.
The Farmers' Mutual Telephone Com
pany's By-Laws :
Article 4. No person shall be allowed
to the nse of the line for more than five

or persons using the telephone, who shall

by any member wishing to use the line.
shall for the first v offence be fined the
sum of 25 cents, and for the second
offense be fined $1 and for the thir l
offence be suspended and ut off from tl e

Any member who shall violate any ef j
the provisions of this article shall be

sage so permitted. :
Article 7 Any member of any other
company having free exchange with this

this line for the purpose of sending a

member of this or some interchanging
line in his own name, shall be charged
with the full amount of the message, and
on his refusal to pay the same shall be
denied the further use of the line. .

is sent has to be sent for.
Article 10. No abusive, profane or ob

of the line until the fine is paid.
Article 11. No person shall be allowed

lation of this rule shall be dealt with as
the company shall deem most just.
Article 12. The board of trustees are
hereby authorized to enforce all the pro
visions of the foregoing articles of these
by-law. "
A rule adopted by the board of man
agement reads as follows: "Any person
desiring to use the line must first ring a
signal before taking down the receiver."
At a recent stockholders meeting eight
more telephones were ordered and two
new members voted in, making a total
membership of 35,. 25 of which own
telephones.
At this meeting a switch-board was or
dered. Notice of Final Settlement.
