Co: BOOSTS ITS
RATES
Ten Word Message to St. Paul
Which Formerly Cost Is
Cents Now Costs IS.

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany today put into effect through the
United States a new schedule of rates,
carrying with it an increase in the
cost of transmitting messages. The
new tariff sheet was received by
Manager Hanson and went into effect
in Grand Forks in common with other
cities. Some idea Of what the change
means to those who use the wires fire.
quently can be gained from the fol-
lowing:
The Western Union rates to Mime
apolis and st. Paul for ten word
message have been Is cents. The new
scale calls for IS cents. Other points
which could be reached for Is cents
are similarly boosted. Chicago has
been boosted from SO cents to 60
cents, though to all cities where a
rate of go cents is charged allowances
for night messages are made. The
night rate for Chicago messages is
SO cents. No night rates are now Of
fered for anything under a 60-cent
message.
1t is said the raise is resultant of
increased expenses.
One of the items in the increase
expense account was raise OF 10
per cent granted to employees about
a month ago.
Manager Hanson of the local Office
states that even under the revised
schedule, the figures are low In COM
parison with those existing In other
parts of the country.
