We put In a call at about 9 a. m. and waited in the telephone off Ice until about 1 1 o'clock and the ope rator here repeatedly called Arlington In an effort to get the call through. Finally we were promised the line , at 1 o'clock and then again at 2 o'clock and after waiting until 3 o'clock we were compelled to withdraw our call Arlington Informed the operator here that the line was busy and it would be hard to tell when we could get our call through. How long will the people ' of this valley be contented with the pres ent system and be satisfied in having to await the will and pleasure of the Arlington operators to get our mess ages through. An independent line would make a great difference in the present service. ' On this, Thursday evening the Lilli putians will give an entertainment in the Congregational church in this city.
