More Telephone improvements.

Since the improvements made in this
city by the telephone company few
months ago the rush for 'phone s has
been so great that Manager Hood has
been unable to keep up with the re-
quests for connections,
Tie general office .of the company,
approaching the necessity of still more
improvement, has notified the busio ess
houses of;the city that the company will
commence on the first of the year to
replace the phone boxes that are in at
present with an improved box resembl-
ing the long distance outfit very much.
The local management will try to
begin to put these new boxes in some
time next week. They are more de-
sirable than the present ones in that
they have a better transmitter and the
voice is much more distinct, so much
so that it is said whisper can be
easily heard over them.
The boxes which are being put in
residences at present for 81 per
month under q system which enables
the subscriber to ring up any one on
the exchange, but does not allow any
one to ring him up, as there is no bell
on the phone, are being installed in
considerable numb ers.

Bostonians have sung this opera over
1000 times out it is still the most
popular opera before the public. 1t is
to be hoped the management can
secure the Bostonians for two nights as
they will be the greatest treat FL Pa

The Sherwood Case Again.

to allow him to file a homestead for lots
-; and 4, section %, township 8
north, range %, east. The first time the
case was decided against him, but by a
recent decision of the U. S. Supreme
court, it is generally conceded the tract
is government land
Last March Jimmie" again offered to
file homestead for the land, but the ap.
plication was rejected, Appeal was then
taken to the general land office. 1t APP
pears that in 1891. Jock Morgan bought
the land of the Northern Pacific railroad
and soon afterward mortgaged it to Grip
pen & Lawrence. The mortgage. was
foreciosed and the mortgage company got
the land In July last year, Morgan
made an application to buy the tracts Of
the government under the 9th section of
the act OF congress of March >, 1887, and
sought to intervene in the case between
the company and Sherwood
Inc com mlssl0ner decided the case last
month, holding that as Jimmie had not
served the company and Morgan with his
appeal and that Morgan was an adverse
claimant for the land, he had lost his
lights. A motion was then filed asking
the commissioner to review and reverse
the decision which was ace lrdinglv re-
2 - 1 IL. =.
and now the case will be decided on its
merits. The commissioner held, how
ever, that the railroad had no right to the
land rs a presumption filing was intact
on the records. This leaves the contro.
versy between Morgan and Sherwood.
