ANOTHER PHONE WAR
Tho Iowa Company May Start an Ex-
change at Nevada-FormerIy Had
One There. But Were Forced From
Field by Competition.

Special to Times-Republ!can
Nevada, Feb. 3.-If there is anything
in report started here today. there
is every prospect OF Nevada being the
seat of a telephone war before the
coming season is over. The Iowa Tele-
phone Company have had representa-
tive looking over the field and have
practically decided to put in an ex-
change at this place. The fact of the
company having large amount of
poles and wire in the city. the REM
nants of small exchange which they
operated here previous to the building
OF the Nevada Mutual exchange makes
their position the more plausible. 1t
is the intention of the Iowa people to
certain amount of local capital can be
interested in the concern and operate
it in connection with their toll line. The
exchange, they contend. will be a prac-
tically independent concern.
Up to about four years ago the Bell
or Iowa people had an exchange with
about forty subscribers. but when the
Mutual peaple commenced doing busi-
ness they were forced from the filed.
Some time ago the Mutual company
raised their rates and while some little
dissatisfaction was raised at the time
that had all died away but the Iowa
company appears to think this an op-
perfume time to get into the field again.
and Ed. K1ttel of Ames, who has charge
of the Bell interests in this county will
be in the city within a day or so to-
talk the matter over with our people
and ascertain their ideas as to the pros
meets of putting in second exchange.
