HELLO CENTRAL!
The Expansion of a "Wild and
Rustic Idea"

What year ago was thought to be
only a wild scheme in the brains OF
few ranchers in the Chitwood- Pioneer
neighborhood has now expanded into
telephone system reaching from New.
port, this county, to Corvallis, with
number of branch lines ramifying the
rural sections of this and Benton
counties.
The Yaquina Bay Mutual Telephone
Company's line connects with the Inde-
pendent Company's central at Corvallis,
thus allowing free service all over the
city. Portland may be reached by
transference of message to the Bell
Company, who at present control the
only line into that city. The line will
be strictly commercial and so.called
long-distance service line. Private and
branch lines will be connected through
switchboards at all central points. such
as Blodgett, Summit, Elk City, Toledo
and Newport. The company is meeting
with generous CO, operation from ranch
ers and business men all along. Five
Rivers, Waldport and Ona are now
ready to connect with central at Toledo.
1t is only question of short time
when every outlying settlement in our
county will be connected by telephone
line.
Let's have another idea from the
fertile brains Of the Pioneer. Chitwood
"rustics." This telephone idea has
certainly "pauned out' all right.
Barney Morrison Of Pioneer is Pres
ident and A. T. Peterson of Toledo il
Secretary of the company.
A line is being promoted up the BIZ
Elk valley and also the Depot valley

Dodge Hooper may make a fairly good giraffe, but there are whispers that he will make far more fetching bareback rider, along with Mac Smith. Then there's Judge Sames, whose le- gal business keeps him at Tombstone so much of the time. They say he has a wonderful career mapped out for himself, that of the Egyptian dane ing girl. There's Geo. Hardtker. who will make an astounding success. when he poses as the living skeleton. Then there's Julius Wood, who will no doubt be the lady of surplus avoir- dupois; in fact, all of these features will be worked out to the eminent sat- isfaction of all parties concerned. Bring all the children, for the parade will be long one, and the usual cages of wild animals will attract no end of attention.
