CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT LET LONG AGC

The many stories being circulated In
reference to the independent telephone
company Of this city have caused so much
confusion in the public mind that 1t seems
proper at this time that a plain statement
be made by the company
Shortly after the franchise was granted
to the independent company last fall,
contract was entered into with the Union
Telephone Construction company to build
and finance an automatic telephone sys-
tenn in Omaha with a 5000 subscribers
capacity. .
The outside construction of the plant
will start the early part Of April, and it is
expected that service will be given in less
than twelve months. A large part Of the
plant will be underground; there will be no
party lines. The business rate will be $3.50
net per month and the residence rate s.
net per month. The service will be abso-
lutely secret. The company viii own and
operate everything In connection with the
system and its headquarters and managing
officials will be located in Omaha. Every
effort will be made to give the people of
Omaha the best telephone system In the
world. Long distance connections will be
given throughout the states of Nebraska,
Iowa, Kansas and Missouri upon the OPEN
ing of the Omaha exchange. The com
pany's ONCE is in the Conservative build
ing, 1914 Harvey street, where all Inquiries
will be answered.
The report that the gentlemen who sc
cured the franchise have sold out Is abso-
lutely without foundation. Every one of
the original stockholders OF the company
are still members of II, and a number Of
them have increased their holdings.
The bonds OF the company are thirty
year per cent gold bonds. with a sinking
fund TO retire them. The underwriters for
the present have agreed to place these
bonds on the market at par with a 50 per
cent stock bonus

struction company is shown by the list of

MAN SAVES SELF FROM FALL

ing Comes Near Falling
Eighty Feet.

workman OF the eighth floor OF the new
Brandeis building had a narrow escape
from death early Friday morning, when he
was nearly precipitated down the freight
elevator shaft, distance of eighty feet.
He had wheeled his wheelbarrow on the
freight elevator on the eighth floor, placing
one foot on the elevator. which was sud
denly lowered by the engineer Of the ground
floor.
The workman lost his balance as the eie-
vator dropped and was thrown into the
shaft, but he managed 10 grasp the edge
OF the shaft with one hand, where he hung
suspended over the deep shaft until pulled
out by fellow workmen who had seen his
plight, and was none the worse for his ex-
perience.

Acid Fruit for Spring.
Rhubarb Fanchonettes-A small bunch OF
rhubarb had been the luxury in the market
! basket because Mrs. Providem began to
feel the craving for tho acid things which
comes in the early spring, and which when
appeased by fresh natural vegetable or
| fruit is right, although this rhubarb had
! been grown under glass and did not have
quite what the free air would give later.
! She washed it carefully, but did not peel,
cut IN short bits. put in a granite baking
dish in layers with a sprinkling Of sugar,
alternating with layers of raisins which
had been cooked a little, covered 1t and
placed 1t In the oven. baking 1t slowly
until it was tender and the syrup pink
and dainty looking. She added a few bits
OF orange peel among the layers. Little
pastry cases had been baked on the outside
OF patty pans. or fanchonettes. as they are
called now. and these were filled with the
I rhubarb preparation, new cold and slightly
jellied. and were just large enough to
serve to one to each person.
| Her family ate just as heartily of this
dinner as OF the one of the week before
and were quite as well nourished.
