Telegraphic.

The peopls of Geneseo and Cambridge
think they ought to have telsgraphic ia
cilities as well az Rock Island and Moline
and the papers are sgitating the question
pretty lively. The Geneseo Republic
thinks that telephone line between Gam
bridge and Geneseo would prove con-
siderable advantage to the people of the
two towns by enabling them to transact
much of the business now conducted be-
tween them more expsditiously and at
less expense than il can now be done.
Regarding the cost OF lins between the
two places. toget her with the apparten
ces necce ssary to its operation, the figures
submitted show that such line may be
built for 5000 or less. sum which it
seems would warrant its construction as a
purely business enterprise. In addition
to the cost of construction and the neoces
sary repairs, the annual expense of ope
rating the line would be, $40
rental for telephones and trans
mitters. Earnings of $l00 as-
nually would pay interest On the invest
ment, together with the rental. and ali
above that would be clear profit The
Republic thinks several hundred dollars
income could be derived from the line
annually say nothing of the convenience in
saving of time and trouble that would re
suit from its construction. It ought to
be an easy matter to raise e stock com
pany for the purpose provided no one or
two individuals will andortakc the work.
The estimate of cost is based upon the
prices of material and labor required for
the construction.of the line it beingtaksn
for granted that the right of way will be
