SENATORS HELPED
Alexander Mckenzie Ap-
pears to Have Wanted
aTelephone Franchise.

Herald, story that come from Will
liston indicates there is dissatisfaction
there and in the country farther west,
over the result Of telephone contro-
versy, in which Gen. Alex. Hughes
and Alexander Mckenzie were the
chief actors, with Senators Hansbrough
and McCumber acting as aids to Nc
Kenzie.
Gen. Hughes is Interested. through
the Hughes Electrical company, in
sa number of telephone. light and
power enterprises in various towns
in western North Dakota and eastern
Montana. Sometime ago he went to
Washington in connection with pro-
position which he had made to the
government looking to the installation
of telephone service along the Lower
Yellowstone irrigation project. His
company, it appears. made applica-
tion for permission to use the govern
ment poles for the carrying of wires
from Glendive to Williston. agreeing,
if allowed to use these poles, to grant
free telephone service to the govern
ment over those lines. The Yellow
stone project takes in territory about
70 miles long. reaching from Glendive
to Mondak and close by is the Willis
ton project, which will also open up
a new country. In those locali ties
there are many settlers already,
and if the Hughes proposition had
been accepted those settlers, and
also the government employees would
have been placed in touch with a
large outside territory, as the COM
pany already has wires running to
many of the towns in that section.
It is said by those who are familiar
with the facts that the Interior depart
|ment was inclined to grant the re-
quest. as it appeared to be advantage
Gus both for the government and the
tsettlers. However, when it became
known that an application OF this
kind was under consideration. the
Capital Telephone company, of Bis
marck, in which Alexander Mckenzie
is interested personally and through
his friends made similar application
covering the same territory. This ap-
plication, it is said. was fled by Sen
ator Hansbrough and seconded by SEN
ator McCumber. In view of the COM
plications which the filing of the
second application mad brought about
the secretary decided to grant neither.
and the section in question will have
to worry along without telephones.
The point of chief interest, and
which has led to the sharpest criticism
is that the Mckenzie company has no
connection with that part of the
country, and has none in prospect.
Had the application been granted, so
says the Williston informant. the
people residing IN that locality would
have been no better off than before.
The Interpretation placed on the Incl
dent over there is that Mckenzie and
his friends sought to secure this fran
chise for speculative purposes, and not
for actual use, and that through the
aid Of the North Dakota senators,
while he has not obtained what he
wanted, he has secured the indefinite
postponement of any telephone con-.

Planting Trees.

Willow City has long been noted as
city of trees and nice lawns, but
this year she is apt to gain new
honors along this line. A walk
through the southern and western
portion of the CITY reveals the fact
that not only have many trees been
set ont in the yards and lawns of
the city. but in many places trees
have been set out in the street,
just at the edge Of sidewalks. This
is very commendable deed and
one that will be a great blessing
and benefit to the city in few
years. Now the question will be
to protect these trees from the raw
ages of live stock that sometimes
roam. the streets unattended. We
think it would be no more than
fair to these citizens who have
spent money in an effort to beautffy
the town to be protected in their
work. Let the town board give in
structions to the marshal to do all in
his power to protect these trees by
taking up all cattle and horses that
run the streets without someone to
look after them while in the city
limits. Until this is done, it will
Be hard thing TO raise trees with
out fencing them, and to do that
along the streets would cost the prop
lerty owner too much. Willow City
