Long Distance Telephone

F. Willard of Los Angeles, and E. c. Gee of Phoenix, representing the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph company, have been here during the week, says the Sun, obtaining subscribers for the exten- sion of the long-distance line from Jerome to Flagstaff. It is the in tention of the company to build the line by way of Oak creek and put in as many telephones between the two places as is deemed advisable.
 The line will be commenced at once, if the weather permits, and it will take about sixty days to com plete the line. The line will con- meet Flagstaff with the company's line at Jerome, and the system ex- tends to Prescott and surrounding mining camps, Phoenix and the towns of the Salt river valley, Tucson and Nogales.
 During the year the system will be extended to Globe and the Gila valley, thus connecting all the telephone systems in the territory. Williams will be reached over the Canall line, now in operation be- tween Flagstaff and Williams.
 Mir. Gee and Al Doyle left this morning for a trip over the pro- posed line between Flagstaff and Jerome to locate the route.-Sun.

Airi Last Rose Of SUMNER
There's a town that's known as Challis,
In Southern Idaho.
Beside the Salmon river
With its ceaseless surging flow.
There the landscape is most lovely.
And the mountains stand sublime.
While the surging Salmon river
Softly sings a ceaseless rhyme;
There might lovers sweetly linger.
While the evening breezes sigh,
AND the sunsets rosy finger
Casts u glory DER the sky,
But a heavy silence hangs
De the hills and on the town,
Till men become hump shouldred
By the way it weighs them down,
For 1t is in Challis town
That the men they are so few
While the maidens are so many
That they don't know what 10 do;
Yes the little town of Challis,
1t a lovely girls galore,
But the young men in Challis
They are hardly half a score;
Oh, it really is a pity,
And it isn't right or fair
For the girls to waste their sweetness
Upon the desert air,
So the burden of this song
Is to let the bachelors know
What a lot of lovely lassies
Are in Challis, Idaho.
