Before tbe patient Is ready to sleep at night try sponging off with aloobol, especially wben there la evtdenoe of fever. This win cool the body and atimulate tbe pores, aud is veiy effectual towards putting a person to sleep.

Soule, Prop. fa v 7 HOME TELEPHONE COMPANY REPLIES After the circular addressed to tbe Hood River Farmers Telephone Co., signed by a commit tee ocmposed of J. W. Moots and A. C. S'ateu.came into promioeuce, tliu liouie Telephone Co. was interested to lind uul if tbe oon ditiona as set fortb In tbe report of this oommittee were wholly true. Tbe following letter is the result: Portland, Ore., Feb. 20, 1908. Mr. P. S Duridaon, iio'id River, Ore. Dear Sir: In oompliance with your request of the 17th instant 1 went to Oregon City aud made tbe iuvertiga tiou of tbe statements contained iu tbe circular addressed to "Ibe Hood Rivei Farmers Telephone Co." and signed A. C. Stateu. (undated) J. W. Moore, and beg leave to report as follows: First: As to tbe equipment and ser vice botb were satUfaototy. These statements roter to both tbe "Paoitio States telephone & Telegraph Co." and tbe "Hon. e Telephone Co." 1 fouud a vastly different opinion among tbe people wbo lined botb phones. While tbe Home Company rendered almost perfect service to its patrons, tbore was an almost uuirer sal disgust with that rendered by the Pacific States Co , because of tbe in efficiency, tai dines in answering clip, particularly long distance ones, it re quiting anywhere from "bait au hour to half a day" to tcci.re o mnectiona so one oould transact any business and then tbe service rendered was very lmperteot. Ou the contrary the service of tbe Home Telephone Co. was always prompt, ellloient and oourteous, and in every way satisfac tory; all the time required was invar iably given to its patrons aid no in ter feienoe by operators butting lu with "waiting," "ain't you niont through, " etc Both companies bave up-to-date equipment. Secoud : When the Home Company went Into Oregon City to establish its plant it fouud a small system there that bad been put in by three or four of the citizens, ben.' use of the very poor service tlmt was being rendered by tbe Paoitio States Company. This system was taken over by tbe Home Company and at that lime there were just tbiity-five (35) phones in use through the system and five of these were "dead head" phones. Tbe Home Company now have, st this date iu working order and daily use, lu tbe city 107 phones, bave all their wires under ground, laid in conduits and in first-class sbape, have over six hundred (GOO) subscribers that come into their office and the numbei is dally on the in oreasn. These subsoil hers are from tbe auirounding country aud ate par tially as follows: Molalla, 105. Beaver Creek, 200. Clear Creek, 100. Total, 405. Taggartvllle, 200 Now being con nected up. , Logan, Redland, New Era. Mi'x burg, Uauby, and utiitr poiute thrnwuli out tbe Willamette Valley. Connec tions with tbe principal cititH in the valley aie no'v to be IihiI In Albany there are the following connections: City, 300. Farmer, 200 Corvallin Farmets, 2M; city, 5'j0, Lctimioii, Soda Springs, Sal. ,u, VVocdbi.rn, Marquam and n,ir.y othtrd, and tbe system Is being ia id ly extended. All tbe tanners who do ImibIiiosh with Oregon City are oouuected up with tbe Home Company, and will not ue the Paoitio State Company uudei any consideration becnuso ot tbe past treatmeut accorded them. The Home plant at Oregou City is, as heretofore stated, an up-to-ilnte one. Ibe buainesa Is increasing in a satisfactory rute and degree, while tbat of the Pact Ho States, 1 am in formed, is decreasing. Third: As to phones being taken out of places where they have be n installed: When the Home Company started out aft r tbe business they had eolicittvs who worked solely up on com mi- h;u aud they (the solici tors) made all sorts i t promises to secure signed contracts upon which ta oolloot their pay and the oompauy would not stand for all they promised, but oontinued service for ail phones free ot charge for some three mouths or more, wben they then oommeuced to make a charge, and thirty (30) phones were taken out from those plaoes where patties would only ao oept "something for nothing " ibe statement tbat "many of the largest business homes bad uevet made use of the Home phone, eto , among them tbe Willamette Pulp and Paper Company:" The faota are that the Willamette Pulp and Paper Company bave a pn vate line in the city exteudiug to tbeir attorney's office and they sel dom bave use fcr anythiug but long distauoe communications ami then nearly exclusively witb their office in San Fianoisoo. Cel., aud I have it upon good authority that thoy would gladly have left tbeir name out of all tbe teleobone directories ueoause or tbe nuisance of having their men fre quently called to the phone during business Fourth : The Paqilic States Company directory ot tbe latest date shows that it has tie following number of phouea in service: Farmer, loo. City, 493. Total, 60. Tbe assessor's books, however, show tbat tbe number upon whiob it pays Men's and Boy's Suits YM v. ill filial just ul. it, y t wfiiil in Mhi' jiihI 1..

'I' his company never nail a frai chii-e in Ort-Kll City until this year, it l.e ing seemed after that obtain a by tbe Home Company. Fifth: Replying to tbe f How ing: "The chief cause of He less of tbe Home CO't any in uuo tu tba fact tbat they bave not sufficient subscrib ers in Portland aud other outside cities, eto." Upon tbia date, February 19, 1908, there aie in the city ot Portland 7, 189 phonea lu actual servioe and oier 7,000 more contracted for, in tb city, and instruments are being installed for use at tbo rate of 100 per week; and the kn distance service is now oriwded and additional facilities are being arranged for to meet the In creating demand. Sixth : Tbe rates of tbe Home Com pany are slightly higher than those of tbe Paclflo States, but they are williugly paid beoauae ot tbe more sat iafactory service. Ihe Home rates are as follows: City, business phones, 11.75 per month, less 25 cents, $1.50. Four party line, residenco, 11.50 per month, less 25 cents, $1.25. Two party line, residence, $1.75 per month, lets 25 cents, $1.50. Farmers, 10 on a line, $2 per year. Farmers build tbeir own lines, own and care for them up to tbe city lim its where the Home Company takes them iu on its regular lines, the fartueia purchase their instruments and own them, paying from $10 to $12 for them. Tbe Paoitio States are: City, business, $2.50 per mouth. Two party line, residence, $1.50 per month. Seventh: The bunks aud most of the business bouses bave botb phones and say tbat tbey cannot do business with out botb. Eighth: Tbe interviews obtained from the following parties will give you some idea ot tbe estimate in which botb companies are held by tbe business men of Oregon City, and they each and every one have given me permission tn quote them: County Assessor lames F. Nelson : "Service and aooommooatiun of the Home Telephone Company strictly Urst-olass, prompt, efficient and satis factory. Long distance ospeclally so. I find tbat mote people are daily gel ting onto this line, particularly tbosj out in the couutry. I have both phones, but find more use for the Home." Doctor W. E. Carll, mayor: "I bave both phones, bave to have them. Use the Home mostly because of tbe prompt and ettloient service, enpeolally tbe long distance. I con sider it tbe coming phone." Mr. E. O. Canfleld, cashier Oregon City bank: "We have both phones, could not do business without. Have more use for the Home phone witb our coun try customers.: Service of the Home far superior to that of tbe Paoitio States Company. " Mr. F. J. Myern, cashier Fisrt Na tional Bank, of Oieguu I'ily: "Heme service much nu re nitisfuc tory than the Pacillo Riatea nd 1 whyh v ill ba He bave both phouta ami do nu im.ie bi.siuets over He Home find i daily inert uing if peoiull.v with tbie ii . ii u in the couu try ami trnus.it t lug Insituis with nt lhe I'm' i Itu Stxtea Cuirpuoy hate tbeii q Miters iu out building and if any tavuia were ton I hk cr goini t would l.e iu lii.e loi them, but tie Dome C'iiiii) ki. i. the one I would back." Mr. I. U Campbell, city at orney: "Ihe Home Company is tbe com ing telophoue company and for promptness. Iiiccommodation and thor oughly satistactoiy and efficient er viae it would bo extremely difficult to beat or surpass for tbe farmer, mer chant and business niai wherever the Home can get iu operation. " Mr. C. H Huntly, Huntly Bros , druggists, member state legislature: "lhe Home Company is by all odds the only satisfactory company. We bave both phones, bave to have 'em to attend to our country business. Tbe Home dou't tunko tbeir subscribers or curttomers. We use it entirely for our long distauoe business, for through Portland we can reach tbe entile valley, a'nd shortly we shall be able lo get even further away." Kespeatfully submitted, W. K. Andrus, No. 225 Eleventh St., Portland, Ore. Corvallls, Ore., Feb 18., 1908. To Whom It May Concern: One of the bist improvements that has beeu installed in Bentou coui.ty I iu the last few years is tbe iudeprn- ueut leiepuoue synieui. ice tppui tunity to brag ou tbe god terviue rendered by this tystetu is certainly a pleasure to our citizens. Yours very truly, E. A. Miller, Mgr. Februaty 19, 1908. To Whom It May Concern: I am pleased to testify in behalf of the Home telephone system in Corval lls and vicinity. 1 am informed by the local manage treut tbat 1 use tbe telephone in call Ing and being called perbapa as much aa any other subscriber, exoept tbe grocery store and meat markets, I have always received moa'i courteous treatment from operators and manage ment and prompt service. I know tbat tbe operntoia otten exceed the atriot letter of tbeir duty in attending un answered calls and busy lines to tbe eud that 1 may ultimately get my party. I bave at times held the watch on oalls. During one day the longest tbat 1 bad to wait was ten seconds and tbia was at noon wben caila are most frequent. &e Paris Fair X5he Store that Saves You Money vSpecial Ladies' Suit 1-2 Price J lei i in n tliaiicf t m ctin ij sii'ii iiili.l Tuilornl I Suit for jiit nnr-lia'f it fibular priit'. 2d Floor. j SPECIAL 3-4 C.

Tbe Home Telephone Company has certaiuly made good in Corvallia aud Bentou oouuty, aud ptaotioally eveiy one i enthusiastic in praise. Tbeii up-to-date methods bave done things. There are nearly aa Imany Indepen dent telepb. nee in Corvallia and Ben ton county as there are legal votera. Ibe community that bcsitatea to extend tbe Independent telephone ya tem an invitation to install a system stands in its own light. Youra truly, E. E. Wilson CorvBllls, Ore., Feb. 18, 1908. To Whom It May Concern: Corvallia bas the best local tele phone system and servioe of any town in its class on the coast, if not In the couutry. It is tbe Independent sys tem, it entered this field amid pre dictions by looal residents that it would be sure to fail. Its growtb bas been marvelous bet ause its service baa been perfect, it baa practically elim inated the Pacifio States phone in tbia te-ritory. I bave botb phones in my office and get 25 t.i 100 calls a day on the Independent. On 'he Pacific States it in a rushing business it 1 au called once a week. Tbe Independent system beie is In lealizstiou far bet ter iu service aud equipcentv than tiny of us aoeustomed to the eld com pany ever dreamed telephoning oould be. B. F. Iivlne, Publisher Corvallia Times. Corvaliis, Ore., Feb. 18, 1908. To Whom It May Concern : Une of tbe boasts of Corvallls and Bentou county is ber fine telephone system. We think we bave tbe beat service in tbe state and we take pride in telling strangers of it. It ia the In dependent system and it has practic ally replaced the old service. There ia no division of opinion iu Corvaliis, tbe Independent is tbe proper thing. Yours very truly, Robt. Johnsnu, Seo'y. Corvaliis Commercial Club. Announcement. County Clerk J. B.
