A REDUCTION IN LONG DISTANCE
TELEPHONE RATES,

Manager Leroy Farmer has received
notice that the Missouri & Kansas Tel
ephone Co. Is preparing to make a reduc-
tion In the charges for the use Of Its toll
lines.
The company has been making q care
full analysis OF Its toll business for the
past year to see how 1t would be possible
to re.adjust the toll tariff and give the
public q lower rate. 1t is found that as
people become more familiar with the
use Of the long distance telephone, they
consume less time In t%ransactIng their
business over 1t, and that instead Of
using 1t on an average OF five minutes
per call, as formerly, the average has
been reduced to about three minutes
per call.
1t is now proposed to re-adiust the
tariff schedule to a three minute basis so
as to give the public the benefit OF this
shortening Of messages. The new tariff
will also be calculated on direct distances
between points, instead OF the actual line
mileage as heretofore, which in many
cases will materially reduce the former
rate. The new method OF considering
both time and distance will make the
rates more equitable to all users Of thu
service.
The present rate Of twenty-five cent
for short distances will be continued, bu'

BOYS, BEWARE!
Parents May Have to Pay Heavy
Fines for Bird Nesting.

Members of the Sacramento County
Game Protective Association have in
formed. Game Warden Kimber that a
number of boys are at present engaged
in robbing birds nests of their eggs,
and the Game Warden has determined
to set watch and enforce the law.
This is a matter that mainly concerns
the parents, as they are the ones who
will be called on to pay the fines, and
will save themselves time and money
by looking after the youngsters 1t is a
fact not generally known that the law
imposes a fine of not less than $40 nor
more than 500 on any persons found
taking the eggs from the nest of any
kind Of bird. 1t makes no difference
whether the offender is old or young,
they are all equally liable
To give an idea of how much the law
is being violated and the number of
eggs destroyed, it is only necessary to
state that on last Sunday one boy
brought in across the American River
bridge four cigar boxes full of eggs, and
he was only one out of many who were
out on the same quest. There are about
$50 members of the Game Protective
Association and they are so many de-
tectives, bound to see that the law is
fully enforced. Game Warden Kimber
has also a number of men on the look
out for violators of the law, and their
chances of escaping detection hereafter
will be very slim, as Mr. Kimber has
given warning once for all, in order to
let people know of the law and the pen
