SWITCHBOARD AT COURT HOUSE.

Receiver of Taxes and SIX Other ofices May
he Reached By Deimarvia Telephone.
The telephone placed by the Del
marvia Telephone Co. in the Office Of
Receiver OF Taxes Rettew is on the
same principle MS the switchboard in
use at the central office of the COM
pany. The upper part of the instru-
emit is very like the ordinary telephone;
the lower part contains the drops
through which six offices in the Court
House may be connected one with
another or with subscribers elsewhere.
Each of the Court House offices has a
number and has ashutter on the switch
board. Thus when telephone No. 3 in
the building wants connection it rings
and shutter No. 3 in the instrument in
the receiver of taxes Office drops. Who.
ever is in charge there places a cord on
the line Of telephone No. 3 and inquiries
what is wanted.
If No. wants another office in the
Court House, cord is inserted in the
line of that office, lever is brought
back, which rings the office wanted
and a circuit closed over which the
two Offices can converse. When the
conversation is ended, shutter drops,
and the telephones are disconnected.
III, however, Telephone No. 8 wanted
exchange in order TO secure connection
with a telephone elsewhere, a plug
would be placed in the No. switch
and in exchange drop, making a cir.
cult between the two, SO that No. 3
could ask for whatever other telephone
was desired.
The instrument at the Court House
has six telephones connected with it,
and has capacity for six more.
When person wishes to talk with
one OF the Court House offices he asks
Central for No. 60, the receiver OF
taxes telephone, and then asks for the
sub telephone. The numbers OF the
sub telephones are:

TITLES AT MOUNTAIN VIEW
secure Under the Liberal Policy OF
the school Land Board

the Seu0OL E1uuO DObEu
Mountain View, o. T.. Aug. 1s.-The
question Of title to lots in Mountain View
has been permanently settled. The town
IS located on school land and the terri
torial school board has granted new
lease, recognizing the survey and plat
ting of the lots and the use Of the land
for townsite purposes. Under the terms
of the new lease the Mountain View I'm
provement company is given lease OF
the school section until January l. 1sVl'
with power to survey. plat and release
and the lessees Of lots are guaranteed
the preference right to release at not 20
exceed l per cent biennial rental of the
appraised value. They are also given the
preference right to purchase the lots In
case the land Is appraised and sold.
Many OF the lot holders prefer this ar
rangement to a deed, as the rental to be
paid into the school fund will be less
than the taxes If the lots were decided.
A lot appraised at $500 will cost the
owner 81 a year. which is less than the
taxes on any decided lot OF like value in
the territory. The Mountain View I'm
provement company is selling leases to
lots at a nominal figure and ; per cent
of the amount of sales goes into the
school fund. This is probably the only
town in America built entirely on school
land, and every child of school age in
the territory ls. interested IN its welfare.
The legality of the plan has been looked
into by the best lawyers Of the territory,
who approve Il.
