Telephone.

The Central Union Telephone company
has decided upon an increase IN the rent
of telephone instruments under the follow
ing conditions; All instruments three
quarters Of a mile and over from the cen
trial office in this city are hereafter to cost
the subscriber Sc a month This does not
apply to instruments now in use, but
those that may be put in in the future
The reason for this advance in prices is
fair and proper when the matter is under
stood. For instance heretofore the sub
scriber two miles away from the central
office has been getting the telephone
| service at the same rate that the patron a
half block away has. When the fact is
considered that it takes two miles of wire
and large number of poles to reach one
and but short length of wire to reach the
other, the difference in the cost of keeping
up the line can be readily imagined. If
anything is the matter with the instrument
or wire of the subscriber two or three
miles away, it takes a man two or three
hours, or perhaps half day to locate and
repair the damage, while on the other
hand the same could be done for near
subscriber in half hour. The advance,
therefore, it will be seen, is not out of the
way, and as it doesn't effect present
patrons of the exchange, there will be nc
growing -

THE CITIZENS LEAGUE
Meets ii tie Baptist Church Last
Night ana periects a perma-
ncnt Organization.

There was good sized audience as
sembled at the Baptist church last night
to attend the Citizens League meeting.
Mr.. George Mixter was made chairman,
and Mr. f. W Spencer was elected sec
rotary. a list OF members was then read
and number Of additional names were
added to the list, After reading the list
Of members the printed constitution was
read. Some parts OF the constitution
was amended and then it was adopted as
a whole. The first article declares that
the league is formed for the purpose of
enforcing the liquor laws made and pro
vided by the legislature of the state;
the second, that any person may become
a member on payment Of the annual dues
one dollar; the third names the officers
and their duties; the fourth fixes the reg
ular meeting of the league on the second
Monday of each month and the annual
meeting on the second Monday in Febru-
airy After tie constitution ha! been
approved of and adopted. committee of
five members were appointed to nominate
prominent officers of the league. The
committee adjourned for deibcration af-
ter which they retained and reported that
they had selected the following:
TT
quist.
Vice Presidents-Dr C. Truesdale, F.
Weycrhauser, Pei. Mitchell, E. p. Rey-

Master.
Secretary-W B. Ferguson.
Treasurer-Judge Cornelius Lynde.
Executive Commttee-George Mixter,
W. F. Gilmore, Porter Skinner.
After the committee had made their
report, and their selections being approved
of. there followed an interchange of feeling
and thought in regard to the workings and
the object Of the league. Nearly every
body in the audience participated in this
exercise. The idea of employing spies OF
spoilers to enter, saloons, get pointers
and then report TO the league. was dis
countenanced There will be none of thi.
kind of warfare INDUCED in. The league
is organized TO enforce the laws. The
Sunday law in regard to saloons was dis
cussed at length 1t was decided that the
best way Of preventing the sale Of liquor OF
Sunday was to employ special policemen
to watch the saloons, and see who wen
in at the back doors. Then on Monda,
let the men whose names has been secured
be called ap as witnesses and the saloon
prosecuted. A wide membership is yer,
much desired by the league 1t is in
tended to reach the public sentiment b,
means of attending to Legitimate business
rather than to harass saloon keepers by
prosecution The membership is alread,
large, and it is intended that it shall b
made larger by the addition of new mem
