he has met with wonderful sue,
cess and our people will shortly have a
large number of telephones scattered
throughout Philipshurg, Granite and
vicinity. Rates are as follows: Business
houses, with single instrument on a line,
50 per month; two instruments on a
line 81 per month; three Instruments on
a line, 50 per month The rates for re-
sideuces will be 81, 1926 and So so.
Subscribers will have free use of the
line to Granite and other places in this

quite a convenience to our people, and it
is gratifying to see that they show their
appreciation by taking hold and assist
ing the enterprise.

ON THE WAY TO NOME.
Several Philipsburgers Aboard the First
Steamers That Left Puget Sound.

In letter dated May 8 Mr.. Charles
A Densmore writes from Seattle, Wash,
that the first steamer to leave for
Nome, the Robert Dollar, would sail on
May TO- John Kelleher, Michael
Meagher and young Dorsey will make
the voyage on this boat, while Peter
Mires, Joseph Sorenson, Herman Pruess
md Charles H. Jewett have secured
passage on the Discovery, which was
hooked to leave Seattle on the same
day.
Mr. Dinsmore states that the rush is
not as great as two years ago, when
everybody was headed for the Klondike.
Most of the people going to Nome are
from Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and
Idaho. These states, it is estimated,
are furnishing about 70 per cent.
Thomas Coulter, another Philips
burger, arrived in Seattle last Friday.

States that the Cubans are still in the

station here at Mocha that is support

photos taken during the war, and do
not contain q word of truth as to the
real condition today. There is labor
for every able bodied man IN Cuba to-
day and nearly all are employed. The
managers of this relief firm are work
ing it for all it is worth. They ride
around the country on hne prancing
horses, wearing white linen clothes,
with silver mounted, jIngling spurs.
Money contributed to such purpose is
thrown away. There are, Il Is true,

their duty to attend to this. There is
