If plans which the Consolidated Tel. ephone | Telegraph company are now making do not miscarry, Prescott will within the next eighteen months be tn direct communication with Fl Paso and Los Angeles by telephone.
 Agents of the Consolidated compa- ny have recently visited the leading cities of Arizona, and discussed with prominent merchants the advisability of extending the Consolidated lines In Arizona to Fl Paso on the east and Los Angeles on the west.
 The result of this investigation of busincss conditions has been to con. vince the officials of the company that these extensions would be profitable for the compary, the amount of busi- ness to be done justifying the heavy outlay that would have to be made m extending the lines.
 Fl Paso is now connected with New York by telephone. While 1t is not thought that talking could be done between Prescott and the metropolis, it would be possible 10 hold eonverSa tionu with Chicago and points even further east than that.
 The greatest benefits would be de rived in Arizona from the Los Angeles extension. Business men now fire. queptly feel the need of n telephone 1 line connecting Prescott and inc Cali. fornia cities.
