There are industries upon which a
community depends and there are
others which depend upon the COM
munity. II the former are prosperous
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
community will be likewise, but when
those industries which depend upon
the community are prosperous it Is
positive and self evident that they
are supported by prosperous COM
munity.
No industry more decidedly reflects
the business conditions of any one To-
cality than does the telephone. 1t can
only grow with the community. No
given amount Of poles and wire will
produce a given amount OF telephone
service. No definite amount Of solicit
tation will produce a definite number
of telephone subscribers or a definite
amount of toll-line trafiiic. The need
must be apparent. The want must
be felt The demand must create the
supply,-not the supply, the demand.
And SO. when one points to the
rapid growth. the excellent service and
the, equipment of The Colorado Tele-
phone Company in Fremont County.
one is but pointing out the growth, the
County itself.
In 1900 Fremont County boasted OF
a total of two hundred telephones, to-
day there are some thirteen hundred
in use in the same territory. At that

At last the hands on the courthouse

then one Of Old Nick's hired men ap-
peared with the key to the door Of the

whoop the people crowded inside and
hurried upstairs. The Christmas tree
loomed gloriously before them. Its
branches were laden with packages
all neatly tied with ribbons and each
bearing a card on which was written
the name Of the person who was to re-
ceive it. The tables were set and
ready for the feasters. There were
big brown turkeys with drumsticks
pointing upward; there were huge
cakes. there were filled wineglasses at
the plates. and there were many vases
with bright.colored flowers.

W for 80 years he had also been

tion that a girl whom he was to have

with another man a few hours before
the time set for the wedding. Whether
the story was true or not Old Mick. as
everybody called him. had become

one year that Nicholas Bradshaw in.

the children in the town and that he
would on the great day give dinner
to the people.
Three weeks before Christmas he
began his preparations. He rented the
biggest hall in the place. had an i'm
mense evergreen tree set up in 1t. and
hired carpenters to fill 1t with long
tables. The people could hardly be-
lieve that their eyes did not deceive
