linemen employed by the Northwest
ern Bell Telephone company crossed
the Sioux river at North Riverside yes
terday morning and are now at the
hotels of that suburb They are en-
gagged in stringing eight additional cop
per wires for the Bell line to South
Dakota and Minnesota, which will
mean an improvement in the toll ser
vice out of Sioux City of considerable
importance. The eight wires will fur
nish four additional circuits, which
will be connected up in such a way
as to increase the total number from
South Dakota and Minnesota points
from six to twelve. The work was to
have been completed several weeks
ago. but has been delayed by a line
mems strike in Minneapolis, which is
the head Office of the Northwestern
company. The rivalry between the
New State Independent company and
the Bell people is resulting in rapid
strides in the toll service out of Sioux
City in every direction. The New
State company has just completed
copper circuit from Sioux City to On
ava, which will serve all intermediate
towns. The same company is also
bringing in three new circuits from
Nebraska, and the work of connecting
them up with the copper line recently
put across the combination bridge will
soon be under way.
