LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE.
Proposition 10 Put in Such Line in Sanpete
County-Project Under Way.

Mt. Pleasant Pyramids: An oppor-
tunity is now available to the citizens
of Mt. Pleasant and other residents OF
Sanpete county whereby closer connec-
tion with the outside world can be Sc
cured through the medium of the long
distance telephone. A Mr.. Bailey, rep
resenting the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company, has been in town
this week negotiating with our business
men for the purpose of ascertaining
how much assistance the company
could secure here towards the carrying
out of their project.
The proposed line would begin at
Nephi, to which point line has al
ready been completed, come to Moroni,
from Moroni to this city, thence south
through all the other important settle
ments in the county. The anticipated
cost of such line complete is about
$4,000. one-third of which the company
asks the residents of the county to sub
scribe. Subscribers may receive stock
in the concern at 800 per share for the
amount advanced, or they may take
coupons emitting them to service of
the line to the amount of their sub
scription. Charges for using the line
will vary from 10 to so cents, according
TO distance, for conversation not to
exceed five minutes.
This Is an enterprise which our citi-
zens should see put through as soon as
