F. w. Nelson, President of the
Arizona Electric Telephone Com
pany, came in from Snowflake
Sunday evening. Forty miles OF
his Company's lines are now
completed and in fine working
shape. Snowflake was reached
Saturday evening and telephone
communication established be-
tween Holbrook and that point,
via Woodruff.
Mr.. Nelson has directed the
working force TO continue on
from Snowflake to Pinedale and
way points which he expects to
have the work completed within
the week, after which the line
will be built to Concho, St.
Johns, Springerville and Eager
vile. Already the line is proving
a great convenience in communi-
eating between the different
points on the line, which will be
more appreciated as the lines are
extended to the various points
in Navajo and Apache counties.
Mr.. Nelson goes on to Winslow
to spend a day or two with his
