FAREWELL TO
FREE SERVICE
First Result Of Telephone
Merger.
COMPANY IS FEARFUL
Local Business Men Cannot
Get Good Service. Sar,' m
They May Soon be Granted the
Pleasure of Paying for Using
the Country Lines. .

There is q probability that as the
result of the merger of the Marion
County and Central Union Telephone
interests in Marion county, 1t will
be found necessary to make small
charge to local subscribers who talk
outside the city. Ever since the Ma
rion County company began business,
free service throughout the entire
county has been maintained.
I'VE cannot say at this time just
what will be DONE" said WE'LL
known official of the Marion County
company, Wednesday, "but there is
ia possibility that 1t will be found
necessary to make a small charge for
county service. IT, however, 1t is
found that some means can be de-
vised whereby the 5000 or 5000 phones
which will be incorporated in one
Isystem as result of this merger
can be successfully operated with a
free county service, this will be
done. If, however, we find that with
this large number of phones in use
"a business man will be compelled to
wait an hour or so to talk over a
country line which is being used by
some residence subscriber who gets
his phone about half as cheap as the
business man, then some small charge
will be made for talking outside the
city"
The company officials are fearful
that with 50 many phones in use.
the county lines will be kept continu-
ally busy under the rule Of free SER
vice
1t will be two or three months be-
fore the merger of the two companies
i3 consummated. an official Of the
Marion County company states. The
contracts have not been signed, but
Everything has been settled. SO that
there is little. If any, possibility OF
"a hitch. Plans are now under way
for connecting the Central Union
plant with that Of the Marion County
company. 70

Last night at the regular weekly

surprise was peipetrated. During
the testimonial services stranger

gave short talk which was elo-

disclosed in his talk that he was

The BORAH CASE.


The fact that Senator Borah publicly
states that Steunenberg and the Bar
Der Lumber Company are guiltless before
they are tried will leave an element of
doubt in the minds of many as to the
entire innocence of Mr.. Borah. 1t is
incomprehensible to the ordinary mind
how Senator Borah could be the attor-
ney of the Barber Lumber Company,
entirely in their confidence, and not be
aware of their guilt of these land frauds.
1t will require the most conclusive evil
dence to disabuse the mind of the peo-
pie of Idaho as to their innocence. When
they are tried it may be that they will
escape conviction upon technicality,
but that they did secure much timber
land in Idaho contrary to law must be
self-evident fact to those who have
given the history of this case much at
tention.
At no time has the Recorder be-
lleved that Senator Borah was actually
guilty of receiving money from these
frauds. only as an attorney would re-
cceive fees for work performed, but that
ne. was thoroughly informed as to the
criminal disobedience of the laws of the
government in entering this land we still
are unconvinced as to his entire inno-
cence.
