81. II. Matlock, SUPERINTENDENT of the
Central Union Telephone company, who
with other officials of the company, was in
Rock Island yesterday. called at The
ARGUS office last evening to explain some
of the causes of the unsatisfactory condi-
ton Of the service to which The ARGUS
has made extended reference OF late.
I'VE realize the service is faulty" Mr..
Matlock said, land we are doing our best
to remedy it. We know our patrons are
suffering and we are endeavoring to
eliminate the trouble. What is more, we
propose to accomplish the impr ovement
If it can be done by any appliance or ex-
pert. The noise on the wires of the
local exchange, we think. has for the most
part disappeared. but there is still dis
cord on the trunk lines. The local SER
vice was interrupted here during the put
ting in of improvements, such as the
cable ETC., and don't think there will be
any further complaint with reference TO
it. Now we are devoting our attention
to the trunk lines. We have been exper.
imenting with device today and think
if you will call up Moline you will note
the change" The reporter accepted the
suggestion sndi was observed that con.
versation could bescarried on clearly and
distinctly
Now" MIR. Matlock continued, I'VE are
merely experimenting today, and the
appliance will be taken off tonight, and
doubtless other means OF attaining the
end so much desired to the trunk lines
will be tried When our experts deter.
mine upon the superior continuance
it will be adopted and if one thing fails
another will be tried until acceptable
solution of the difficulty is arrived at
I'VE are not surprised that there should
be complaint" the superintendent said.
in conclusion. "Olr lines TO Moline
and Dsveupert-our trunk lines, as /
have described them. are not giving sat-
isfaction, owing to their close proximity
to the electric light and street railway
power wires. but we propose to rtmedy
the trouble at any cost. We have al
ready expended great deal of money
for improvement of the service, and We
will not stop spending money until We
get the system in tie condition we want
il and as tie public wants it -"

publican state ticket next year 1t says
the desire for Gest's nomination lis SO
