A visitor to the city last week in
the interest of the company was Joel
l.. Priest, publicity agent, Mr..
Priest, acting under leave of absence
from the Salt Lake Herald, on which
he has been employed for several
years as editorial writer, is visiting
the Rocky Mountain Bell exchanges.
He expressed himself as being sur
prised at the growth and develop
ment of the Bell business, especially
in Idaho. 81 have learned" said
he, that upwards of ninety per cent
of the people of Idaho. Utah, Wyom-
ing and Montana are within easy
reach of Rocky Mountain Bell tele-
phone. To accomplish this it has
been necessary to string something
like At, 600 miles of wire andNto use
nearly $50, 600 poles. The last re-
port is for the year 1904 and l feel
sure that, with the many extensions
authorized for 1905 completed, the
total mileage will run over so, 900,
or more than enough to stretch twice
around the world. 1t is fact not
generally known that the Rocky
Mountain Bell handles through its
exchanges hundreds of millions of
calls every year, to say nothing of
the toll calls, which will aggregate
hundreds of thousands more. Every
year the company distributes nearly
5000, 600 in wages to employees. A
large sum is also expended through
local merchants and business men for
the numerous supplies necessary to
the telephone business.
Mr.. Priest went from Weiser to
Spokane. From the latter point he
will go into northwestern Idaho and
from there into northern Montana.

apparently in his usual good health.
While his wife was preparing the
meal he stepped out doors and in
few moments returned, holding his
head, and as he entered the room
staggered and fell upon the bed.
Physicians and friends we're at once
summoned and it was found that a
blood vessel had bursted on the brain,
causing a paralytic stroke. Every
thing possible was done, but to no
avail and he passed away about Z
o'clock.
Richard A. Phillips was born in
Richfield township, Oneida county,
New York, about % miles from Utica,
December %, 1860. He is survived
by the wife and little daughter, and
one sister and three half brothers who
reside in the east. He was we'll and
favorably known in various parts of
the west, and has resided in this
county for number of years during
which time he was engaged in saloon
business.
At the time of his death he was
Worthy President of Weiser Aerie of
Eagles, and was laid to rest yesterday
afternoon under the auspices of that
order with its beautiful and impress
sive ceremonies. The funeral was
held from the Methodist church and
was largely attended. The grief
stricken family and other relatives
have the heartfelt sympathy of all.

hd|heuT Irrigation Project.

Ontario May S.-The government
board of engineers, A. P. Davis, d.
O. Henry and John T. Whistler, ex-
amined Harper basin reservoir site
yesterday and returned to Ontario to-
day to meet with the Malheur Water
Users association.
Mr.. Davis said the Malheur irriga-
tion project was feasible. He estima-
ted the cost at $40 an acre., includ-
ing building of the reservoir. con-
struction of the laterals and mainten-
ance of the system 10 years. In his
opinion the road company would sign
up its land.
The remarks of Davis were a sur
prise to the directors, as thousands of
acres of land is already signed at $40,
and the work will have to be done
over.
Mr.. Whistler asked if in the opin-
ion of the directors $40 per acre was
considered reasonable sum. They
answered in the affirmative. Most of
the directors reported the farmers
will sign up land. The deal will
soon be closed with the government.

Bell Telephone Officials Visit
We5G and Decide 70 Make
Important Changes.

F. G. Stanford, division superin-
tendent of the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone Company, with headquar-
ters in Boise, was in Weiser last week
accompanied by j. Fl Hicks of the
construction department The pur-
pose of the officials was to look over
the needs of Weiser in the telephone
line and to determine just what work
should be instituted at once. One
of the chief things determined upon
was cable system for this city.
This system, which is shortly to be
installed, will do away with many of
the wires that are now strung along
the poles of the company and will in
every way improve the service.
Farmers lines into the Weiser fiat
country have also been decided upon
and the work has been inaugurated.
Through these lines vast extent of
country that is, or should be, directly
tributary to Weiser, will be opened up
and will contribute its quota to the
prosperity of this city. Another
matter of interest to the local public
is the recent decision of the Rocky
Mountain Bell company to dissent
nate weather reports in Weiser and
the surrounding country.
These reports will be received in
Boise, the headquarters of the govern
ment's weather bureau in Idaho, and
sent through the Bell exchanges to
all points in the state. Any Bell
subscriber, by calling the central
office, will be able to obtain these
weather reports absolutely without
charge Of any kind. The Importance

season, when there is danger of late

Nan Patterson Is Released.

New York After more than elev-
EN- months in prison and three mis-
trials on the charge Of numbering Gaze
sar Young, Nan Patterson walked
from the Tombs free woman. AS
she left the great building which has
been home since a few days after
Young was found dying in a cab in
lower New York, 1000 people greeted
her with cheers, for the news that
District Attorney Jerome would move
for her dismissal from custody had
spread throughout the vicinity Of the
courthouse. But the accused girl had
but a few seconds to see and hear
the demonstration before she was
whisked away in cab with her at
torney, Abraham Levy. She left for
her home in Washington tonight.
An hour before noon District At
torney Jerome appeared before Rec
order Golf and announced that he de-
sired to move the discharge Of the
former chorus girl without bail and
on her own recognizance. This an
nouncement followed three trials for
murder.
Perhaps the great dramatic climax
to the troubles Of the former Floro-
dora girl was the reunion in freedom
with her sister, Mrs. j. Morgan Smith
and her brother-in-law, j. Morgan
Smith, both Of whom were discharged
by Justice Cowing in the court Of
general sessions after being held on
charges Of conspiracy in connection
with the Patterson case. Smith was
also held for contempt Of court IN
failing to obey subpoena as wit
ness at the first trial. He was fined
$3.50 and released on this charge.
Then came the surprise for Nan Pat
terson herself paid the fine out of a
$500 cheek which had been given her
by friendly newspaper.
The first intimation that Mrs. Pat
terson, the mother Of Nan, bad Of
her daughters release was contained
in the Associated Press bulletins from
New York. Mrs. Patterson would not
at first believe the news but when con-
WINGED that the report was correct
and that her daughter would arrive
home this evening she collapsed and
physicians were hastily sent for.
