Thatcher of the Pacific States Telephone
and Telegraph company, was out at
Odell, Monday, getting new contracts
and giving the patrons of the East Side
line much better terms than formerly.
A number of contracts for new sub
scribers have been taken out at present
rates under the new system of leasing
phones and the line by the mile, which
will double their business as soon as
the phones can be put in.
Work on the Bone lateral is being
crowded. They are now working on
the Crockett place. Lands adjacent to
Odell will be greatly benefited by rea.
son of water this year. Mr.. Bone is to
be commended for his enterprise.
The new Idaho company promises
big things in the near future. Fred
Thomas has been engaged to take
charge of 300 Japs, and will soon go to
Portland to secure them.
The roads in the Odell district have
been greatly improved during the past
