Telephone Company Inaugurates Work on Monday. On M ,relay morning laat a crew of workmen began the contemplated im provement tc the Pacific Telephone Company's system, beginning simul- taneouly at Cottage Grove, Eugene, Albany and K'meburg. The improve ments consist* of ari additional toll cir- cult between Eugene ami Cottage Grove and an additional copper circuit between Rose burg ami Oakland and also between Halsey and Albany. These improvements are not imper atively needed for ordinary business, hut will be of incalcuable value in times of a rush husiness or when an accident or other sudden demand re quires immediate service. Moreover owing to the growth of business of the 'company they will soon be in the Hat- , ure of practical necessities. Changes iri the system will also be made be tween Rosehurg and Medford ami lie tween Albany and Portlami so that the efficiency ami promptness o f the entire service will be assured in any possible emergency. As there were more sup plies shipped to Cottage (»rove than to Eugene, the heaviest part o f the work will he from this point. The company has been collecting material at the four lioints named above for the pa9t six weeks. The improvements will cost in the neighborhood o f $75,000.
