TELEPHONE FIGHT
ON IN WYOH1INO.

A special from Cody, Wyo,, says: A
fight is on between the Rocky Mountain
Bell and the Montana a Wyoming Tel
ephone companies. a few days ago, the
former which controls the local system
at Billings cut Off connections with
the Wyoming Montana company, so
that the patrons of the latter line can
not talk with the Billings people. The
Wyoming Montana company has APP
piled for a franchise In Billings, but the
city council is equally divided upon its
issuance. The fight promises TO be in
terestlng.
When shown the above dispatch,
General Manager Murray OF the Rocky
Mountain company said, Il was per-
fectly true. and said that the Wyo-
ming Montana people ownN local
exchange, and In 1901 when the Bell
company extended It's lines TO Billings.
the local and previously established
plant was bought out. 1t was then
found that the switchboard was con-
nected with the Wyoming. Montana
lines running south OF Billings 10 Cody
and other points The Bell company
built south to Bridger and Red Lodge
at the request of the Butte subscribers
who wanted to talk in that direction,
and with the intention of continuing
southwark through Wyoming 10 con-
meet with north bound lines from Chey-
enne and Casper.
This will enable salt Lake to talk
with Cody and points on the Big Horn
either via Cheyenne or Butte and Bill
llngs. The Rocky Mountain company
took over the Billings plant they Of
fered the Wyoming Montana company
10 allow the connections of the latter
company remain and have connections
made with the Bell company system
on the usual terms. but the president
refused. and the Bell company then cut
the connections of. That Is the status
of the situation. and the Salt Lake
management Is waiting TO see what the
other crowd win do next.

idea may be carried out Governor Wells
will be asked TO name three members

quested to name one Of their number
TO act ON the executive committee.
