The Telephone Situation
Last week a meeting of the
subscribers to the rural telephone
lines, resolved to disconnect from
the Estacada telephone exchange
on account of the increase in
rates, which had been authorized
by the Public Service Commis­
sion, but which they considered
exhorbitant.
A mass meeting
was called by Estacada citizens
last Monday, at the city hall, to
consider the situation, and en­
deavor to adjust the difficulty.
About a hundred were present
from country and town. A fter
considerable debate, a committee
consisting of Messrs. E. Kilgore,
C. R. Lovell and M. Pederson,
was appointed to go over the
books of the Estacada Telephone
Co., and ascertain its exact finan­
cial status, and report at a meet­
ing at Estacada Hotel, ¡Saturday
afternoon at 2 o’clock,
It is to be hoped that the mat­
ter will be amicably adjusted. It
should be remembered, that in
order to render efficient service,
it is necessary to have good equip­
ment and good operators. In
order to do this, a company must
be able to save enough to pay
for competent help and maintain
and equip its lines in a thorough
manner. It should be a simple
matter to decide whether the
Estacada company can do this at
the old rates, and earn besides a
fair interest on its investment.
It is poor policy to starve a pub­
lic utility. And if the rural lines
cut themselves off, it will hurt
both them and the town. Their
interests are mutual. T h i s
shou be borne in mind, and if
both sides go into meeting in a
spirit of fairness and with a sense
of mutual interest, there is no
doubt a satisfacory solution will
be reached to all concerned. Let
the discussion be full aud tern-
perate. so as to ascertain just
whv and where the service falls
down, and then see how this can
be remedied. The local company
has every reason to improve its
service, but this easier said than
done, and the connecting lines
should be willing to give their
heartv co-operation.
— Old Safe Gives Up Treasure.
For years at Lufkin. Tex., a rusty

side streets, a seat for loafers and
