Demand For Them.

Medford, Okla, July 29.--The Daily
Mail has this:
The increasing demand, among
farmers and business men in the coun-
try for telephone facilities which has
been growing more and more as the
advantages Of the telephone have be-
come known, has caused the Oklaho-
me and Kansas Telephone company of
Medford, to consider seriously the
question Of furnishing telephone com
munications from house to house
along the more thickly populated por-
tions of the county and also to con-
meet with the nearby towns, and they
are taking steps to meet this demand
at once.
They knew it was coming in the
near future. but are surprised that the
demand came so soon. They are pre-
pairing to meet It however, and are ar
ranging their work so as to take the
matter up all over the county, and
those who desire such connection
should see Mr.. J. W. Pyle the man
ager, AZ once about it.
