''On May 26th Mr.. Hammond
made the statement here thar il the
toll charge OF &c should on trlal
prove excessive in view of more eN-
tensiye use of trunk lines than they
have anticipated from past obserVa-
tion and checking of such use, they
will cut that charge down TO 212c
for each call, or to any other figure
that is fair and reasonable; as eX-
orbitant or prohibitive charges
would, as their experience shows,
cause the telephone instruments to
be ordered out.
''Our Commercial club committee
had an interview with Nessrs. Pot
ter and Williams, Of the Colorado
Wyoming company. but it was thelI
opinion that little if anything could
be done to keep in existence the
old independent company. They
said that one Mort Parsons had Sc
cured control of the stock OF the
company but that they knew nothing
of the identity of said Parsons ol
whom he represents.
"a meeting of representatives OF
the business men of Greeley, Eaton,
Ault and Windsor was held about
ten days ago. and representatives, OF
the Bell company and also of the
minority interests of the old North

existing, and George j. Spear gav'
to the committee much information
concerning the old independent com
pany and concerning telephone
charges and service in other states.
No definite proposition has beeI
made by the old independent inter
ests. however. and what their inten
tions and plans are has not yet beeI
made known.
The ideal condition of telephone
service here is to treat the district
as a whole, with perfectly free com
munication between all the towns il
this vicinity. The proposed reduc
tions should be made-it is not righ
that the many, by an increase owe
the present high charges, should pa,
for the benefits of the few who hav,
special interests to promote.
The course of action to bt
adopted is one seeking fair rates fol
telephone service, but absolutely
free interchange between the towns
of Greeley, Lucerne. Eaton, Ault
Windsor, Johnstown, Evans, La
/ Sale, Platteville and kersey, fol
the sufficient reason that there exists
in this Greeley district closer com.
munity of interest than is obser
vable in any other agricultural dis.
trict in the world. Outside tele'
phone companies do not realize the
interdependence that exists here
The efforts of the committees al
ready appointed in the different
towns will be to secure to all of the
users of telephone service fair ant
equitable rates.

Several Changes Made fin Constltution
 Of The Order.
 Philadelphia, Sept. 22.-The question of the independence of the patriarchs militant of the Independent order of Odd Fellows was considered today by the sovergn grand lodge in secret ses- sion. The committee to whom the matter was referred reported, but the matter was set aside until the next annual session in Toronto. In the in- terim the patriarchs will continue their present relations with the sovereign grand lodge.
 The sovereign grand lodge made sew eraI changes in the constitution to- day. The specific part of the eonsti- tution remodeled was section article g, which related to the manner of the different jurisdictions. The arti- cie until now provided that two new delegates should be elected yearly but It has been SO changed as to permit the election of one of the delgates to hold the position of the grand repre- sentative SO long as his Jurisdiction wishes to retain him and that the sec- ond shall be elected yearly. Thus was done with a view to keeping one man from each Jurisdiction who will be fa- miliar with the workings of the grand lodge in order that his colleague will not meet with the usual difficulties att tending upon lack of experience.
 There was long discussion over the question of changing the funeral ser vices but 1t was decided sy a vote of 145 to SS to make no change. The pro- posed amendment to exclude from the order all persons who are engaged in the liquor business was tabled. Much of the afternon session was spent in considering changes in the constitu- ton and in the ritual.
