If it be true that Virginia is prosperous
and her public treasury in a sound con-.
dition. it is none the less true that the
States obligations are not few or easily
discharged. AS already indicated. the
States public debt amounts TO more thar
twenty-six million dollars. and some o!
the troublesome surplus might be applied
to sinking fund purposes. If that is
deemed inadvisable. a still greater inter

WILL BUILD TO KANSAS CITY.
Telephone Connection With the Ne

The independent telephone com.
panies organized at Salina last even.
ing under the name OF the Kansas
Independent Telephone association.
s. c. drummer, Of Beloit, was elected
president, and W. W. Dilworth, Of
Beloit, was made secretary.
Five thousand nine hundred phones
and over 1900 miles OF toll line were
represented at the meeting. indie.
pendent telephone magnates from all
over central and northern Kansas
were present at the meeting. Every
part Of Kansas except the extreme
northeast portion and the southeast
was represented. These parts are
not connected with central Kansas by
independent toll lines.
The object Of the meeting was to
secure mutual protection and uniform
toll line rates. A uniform rate Of %
cents was made for distances not over
40 miles on any line aud 10 cents for
each additional 40 miles or fraction
thereof.
The companies are uniting in build
ing toll line to Kansas City and say
they will do it this year II they have
to do the work after dark. Should a
franchise for the exchange be denied
them, a messenger service will be es-
tablished which will put Kansas City
manufacturers and wholesale mer-
chants in communication with this
part Of Kansas.
This means a great deal for central
nothern and western Kansas. Inde-
pendent toll lines cover this portion
OF the state, but toll line communities
ton with Kansas City has been per-
sistently denied them by the Bell
company. The new exchange and
extension Of Independent telephone
lines will direct much Of the trade
with Chicago and St. Louis from this
part Of the state to Kansas City.
