stated, by parties directly interested in

pany, or in trust for them.
The consolidation in New York 10
days ago of the Peoples Telephone
company and the Knickerbocker Tele-
phone company and the announcement
that the new company will be ready
for business January /, is stated to be
the first important step in the organi-

nection of Messrs. Whitney, Elkins,
and others with the new Peoples Tele-
phone, Telegraph and Cable company,
and its capitalization of $780, 600, 900, is
cited as part of the general plan.
In the middle west, Illinois, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Missouri and other neigh
boring states, a number of companies
have been formed and franchises quiet
ly obtained during the past few
months. An effort to interest sufficient
local capital and influence to secure a
blanket franchise in the cities of
Omaha, South Omaha and Council
Bluffs has not yet been successful, but
is still being pushed.
