THE WORK PROGRESSING.
Delay in Securing Material, but the
New Telephone Lines are
Going up.

Work on the new Independent
telephone line has been somewhat
delayed, because of the inability to
secure insulator pins and cross arms
for the poles. The former are small
pins, with threads turned on one
end where the glass is placed, and
they are turned on a machine that
has been at the sawmil1. This ma
chine was recently bought by Arch
Horning of Philomath.. On some
account, a delay occurred in getting
pins there, and no more pins could
be obtained and the machine has
now been placed at the Benton
County Lumber mills, and a sup
ply of the required pins will be had
in short time.
Material for the cross arms has
been very hard to get, and Sheas-
green & Buxton have been obliged
to transfer their order from the
mills at the front, to the Philomath
establishment in order to get the
desired lumber, and still there is de-
lay in getting the goods On the
new i me, holes are dug south Of
Corvallis for a distance of five milee
and the work of placing the poles
in position is now in progress, On
the Linderman line, north of town,
the poles are UP for a distance Of
six miles. A further cause of de-
! lay at the Phi1omath mills has been
occasioned by a shutdown that be-
gan the fourth and has only just
ended. From now on, however,
it is thought that material will be
On hand so that the work may go
on with uninterrupted vigor.
Some of the city phones will
likely be placed in position next
week.

Robert Barr the author, told with
clec how Captain Mayne Reid, who was
A friend OF his. came TO London and
sent hLs address to Barr. The latter
started to call on Reid. He did not
know the street and asking bus man
if his vehicle passed such and such n
street, was assured that ii did. In due
course he came upon the street. In MS
letter Mayne Reid said he had taken a
corner house in this street and added
that he had delightful garden and Il
high wall. When | got down from the
bus" says Mr. Barr, Il found that the
corner house had high wall ana
doubtless behind it a delightful garden,
which answered perfectly the descrlp'

given me.

really fine specimen of the guest
who does his best has spirit which
cannot be broken by weather or weari-
ness. He can manage to talk to any
one, even If he should discover with a
shock that he is sitting next to his
worst enemy. He knows how to come
into any discussion and how to keep
out of it. He does not seek his own
amusement. yet he never fails to show
that he is amused. He is tolerant of
every opinion. and though he may have
many convictions Of his own and may
state them so as to do them Justice he
never tries to proselytize.
His visit Is not a mission, and he
never for moment fancies himself on
the hustings, in debating society. a
pulpit or court OF justice. Above all.
he has good opinion Of himself. Good
wine needs no bush. He has no desire
to boast. but he is certain that he will
not be sighted II his hostess assigns
to him dull job he is sure it is because
she thought he could do it well, and II
he feels it to be really below his powers
he takes her mistake into account not
while he is under her roof. but when
he next receives her kind invitation.
He is not plagued by that craving Of
the oversensitive to be like their COM
pany nor does he belong to that race Of
born dissenters who would always rath-
er be different.
But. alas, conscience and talent do
not always go together. There are some
high pIinciped guests who are terrible
bores. In their solicitude to be agree
able they never stop talking. but pursue
their garrulous ideal like dog follow
ing carriage. To every interruption
they give immediate but momentary
attention and run breathless onion

NOTES

The people Of Greeley will now
have an opportunity to say whether
the power house and general offices OF
The Greeley & Northern Railway Il
Utility company will be located at
Greeley or not. The late adjutant
general OF Colorado, Mr.. B. f. klee,
we'll known to many residents OF
Weld county, and Mr.. F. I. Moon,
both residents OF Denver, will call on
the residents Of Greeley IN the inter
est of the new electric railway.
Their mission is not to ask donations
from The people, but they will ask
every land owner and taxpayer tc
subscribe for capital stock OF the rail-
way company. Each and every sub
scriber will have an option to take
the bonds OF the company, bearing
five per cent interest, Instead OF
stock. The bonds will be secured as
all railway bonds are, and will be
first lien on the road and equipment.
There is no question but what the
IOaQ VIII pay lfOlu the slaTl anu tliau
the bonds will prove safe invest
ment for anyone.
Mr. Klee and Mr.. Moon are men
who have had experience and can
make clear the many advantages and
benefits to the citizens of this city
by having the terminal Of the road
at Greeley, 1t would make Greeley
the business center of Weld county
besides, the company would have a
payroll of from sl5, 900 to $50, 900 each
month. The company has an option
on 800 acres of coal land, which will
add to the business and give the peo-
pie along the line advantages that
