LEEPYEYE MEN TALK TELEPHONE
Business Men Hold Meeting to Con-
slider Matters.

New Ulm is not the only place inthe
county where there is some interest be-
ing developed in the matter OF tele-
phone companies. Alta meeting Of the
business men held in Sleepy Eye for
the purpose OF getting the sentiment as
to what was wanted in the way OF help-
ing the farmers to construct rural
lines into the city, there was a good
number Of men present and the matter
was thoroughly discussed.
AS has been the case in all the local
gatherings VIM. Frank of Springfield
was there, and was one Of the chief
speakers, having most to say against
the Minnesota Central. He was called
to task by Mr.. Won Hagen who in
formed him that if Springfield had any
skunks to skin they better skin them at
home.
The result of the meeting was that a
committee was appointed to see the.
business men and some of the farmers
and find out if possible what the senti-
ment is and to report at a meeting
called for Saturday of this week, when
some definite action will no doubt be
taken. I. NJ. Olsen is at the head of
the committee.
There seems to be a feeling that if
the business men cannot get control of
the city exchange they do not want to
invest in rural lines, and it is possible
that there will be an organization Gre.
ated for the purpose Of putting in an.
other exchange.
