The Old and New Way.

Europeans cling with tenacity to an
cient ways. In Basel, Switzerland, for
instance, where horses are very ex-
pensive, it is the custom when a young
man becomes engaged to be married
| to levy upon one of his rich neighbors
whom he may not even know by sight,
| for a span, with which he calls with
| his fiancee upon everybody of their
acquaintance. At the marriage the
same thing takes place. In this
! country the wedding trips the thing,
and there are few through passenger
trains not patronized by one of these
happy couples. One might be struck
with this most any evening at the
4 Milwaukee station as the ever pop
4 ular Pioneer Limited train of the
Milwaukee leaves for Milwaukee and
Chicago.

BACK FROM DEWEY Rancho
Litigation Has Tied Up Cattle Opera
lions for q While.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank L. Ball returned
from Oak Rancho, the famous
cattle rancho Of the late c. P. Dewey,
80 miles north OF Colby, of which Mr..
Ball has been superintendent for
nearly two years. The rancho which
has nearly 800, 900 acres is one OF the
largest in the west and has been ably
managed under Mr.. Balls guidance.
"The litigation over Mr.. Dewey's
will" said MIR. Ball today, "has tied
up cattle operations for the present.
No one is in authority to restock it
until the lawsuits are settled. As
cattle have matured and fattened they
have been shipped until only about
500 head are left. They are in charge
Of the foreman and two men who are
looking after the rancho property"
Dir. Ball Is not decided Just where
be will locate for the present but
their many Abilene friends hope to
see them make this city their home
once more.

ASK A FRANCHISE.
MUTUAL TIE LEPHONE LINES
WOULD REACH TOWN.
City Council Receives Request for
Franchise from the Acme Telephone
Company-Want to Talk to Abb
lens People.

The city council last week received
o request from the Acme Mutual Tele'
phone company for franchise to pu,
a telephone system in Abilene. The
company's attorney, s, S. Smith, pre-.
sented 1t. The council discussed the
matter at some length and finally re.
ferred it to.the ordinance committee.
The status of the telephone matter
is not generally understood by the
people Of the city. There are hall
dozen or more mutual telephone lines
in the county, some north and some
south OF Abilene. They have now
over 800 farm houses connected and
all are in communication with each
other. They also reach most Of the
smaller towns and creamery stations
Of the county but do not reach abb
lene. These lines are run at actual
cost; it is claimed that 1t is not more
than % cents q phone month In
some companies. The farmers on
these phone lines are among the most
prosperous and progressive in the
county and their trade and friendship
are worth possessing. Some weeks
ago they made request that Abilene
give Tree exchange with the city phone
su bscribers and the commercial club
took it up. After several meetings
Abilene decided that 1T could not af-
ford to do this. Plans to connect
with the Brown system we're more
expensive than the com mercial club
or farmers wanted to pay. The
farmers then decided to build In for
themselves and about 20 firms have
subscribed $15 each to assist them,
either in building line and exchange
of their own or as rental to the Brown
company.
1t is understood that the Brown
company offered to connect with the
Abilene exchange for 10 cents month
for each farmers phone, this to be
paid either by the farmers individual
ly or by the commercial club. The
company says this would Just about
cover the cost Of extra help needed.
Or it was willing to give the firms
who subscribed to the farmers phone
fund free service ON the farmers line
after connection was made for about
sl5 a year. Thus far the farmers
have stood pat on the proposition that
II Abilene wishes to connect with
their line it must pay the bill.
The council is now asked to grant
franchise to allow the farmers to
build their own exchange. The sem
timent expressed last night was some
what unfavorable to granting 1t but
no official action was taken except to
refer the matter to the committee.
One thing is certain: Abilene
should have the advantage OF trade
relations with the farmers on the
country telephone lines for soon it
will mean every farmer In the coun-
ty. 1t is q business proposition to
encourage trade with Abilene and
any action that tends to drive people
away will be bitterly regretted by the
town. A prompt adjustment of the
matter should be reached In some
way that viii bs fair to aIfiJ
