(Farmer Wants Telephone Line.
J. Goodrich, the assistant manager
of the Pacific States Telephone Com
pauy, made Murphy, Williams and
Provolt a business cull in the interests
of his company this week and to es
tahlish a rural telephone system
among the progressive fur men of the
Applegate and Williams Valleys. The
proposition now before us is one of
the best ever offered by the company
and the expense Is very low. When
the Hue is turned over to the fanners
they get full charge and receive all
tolls taken by the present office to help
pay the necessary expenses which may
come in connection with the line.
The company offers the low rental of
5 per year if 25 members are secured
along the line. Now, why not put
our shoulders together as one great
body and bave our valley one among
tbe first to have this great telephone
system and bring the Applegate Valley
to the front, which is growing day
by day into one of the largent hay
growing valleys in the state. The
Applegate is also adapted to fruit.
grapes and berry railing which is
superior to that of any state in the
onion, but there is one thing lacking
that is the connection of a telephone
svstem with the business men of
Grants Pass. Thoi. Lewman and E.
N. Provolt of Provolt have taken
great interest in the aeelopment of
tbe valley and will have a phone in
connection with their business inter'
est and it it hoped many more will
help In tbis good work. T.L.
