The electric companies are the most
energetic drummers of business to be en-
countered in any industrial line. All
kinds of schemes are resorted to to in
crease the business in a legitimate man
ner some of which are unique in the
extreme. In this connection the New
England Telephone and Electric Com
pany has proposed a new plan for rural
telephone service, whereby districts with
a population of 10000 or less can have
telephone connections with the general
New England system at a moderate cost
The idea is to reach the owners OF de-
tached farms. the country homes of bust
ness people from the cities, clubs. camps,
stores. etc. The principal feature is the
construction of private lines by the sub
scribers themselves, which will be con-
nected with the nearest central office OF
the company The company charges %
cents a month for residences and ~
cents month. for places of business to
cover operating costs. The subscribers
get not only unlimited communications
with all the subscribers of the exchange:
but access to the toll lines covering all
New England and the eastern part OF
the United States.

APPEARS FOR CALIFORNIA
PERCY r. MORGAN ADDRESSES
HOUSE COMMITTEE.
Urges Retention Of Present Duties
on Wines in Revision Of
the Tariff.

Percy T. Morgan. a member of the
committee appointed by the Governor of
California to represent the interests OF
that state with regard to the revision
Of the tariff addressed the committee
on ways and means at the hearing today
on spirits, wines and beverages" He
also represents the Grape Growers AS
ISOLATION and the Manufacturers and
Producers Association Of California. He
urged for the retention of the present
duties on wines, but declared that the
effect Of the 80 cents per gallon rate on
wines granted in the various reciprocity
treaties is detrimental to the wine grow
ing industry of this country.
Mr.. Morgan said the conditions pre-
vailing as the result Of the reciprocity
ties permit the importation of prac-
tical1y pure alcohol at the rate of duty
imposed on wines.
Suggests Minimum Rate.
Taking up the proposition to make the
new bill a maximum and minimum tariff,
Mr.. Morgan urged the committee to rec
ommend the prevailing rate Of duty on
wines as the minimum rate Of duty in
framing the new tariff bill He pre-
scented many figures comparing the cost
Of labor In this country and other wine
growing countries. and suggested that
his arguments should have weight with
the committee as California produces
nearly all of the wine made in this
country.
Francis E. Hamilton of New York.
who represents the Wine and Spirit
Trade Society Of the United States. told
the committee that present rates on
wines should be retained, and spoke
against any increase in duties as being
unfair to the foreign as well as to the
domestic wine growers. He praised the
reciprocity clause of the present tariff
as being farsighted and to the best in
terests of the American industries.

A machine has been introduced recent
ly which can be built to produce either
the narrow or wide-necked variety of
bottles at an extraordinary rate. It's
capacity is estimated at twelve bottles per
minute and one man can look after
three machines at the same time. The
speed of the machines IS not sufficient
for them to run hot; they can there
fore be operated for twenty-four hours

pense of three men on eight-hour turns

instead. The changed pleased, did
not displease anyone, though music
lovers here would have preferred to
hear the Balfe production. Mascot,
however, never fails to please, es-
pecially when rendered by as cap
able an aggregation as is the Beggar
Prince company. The familiar Choir
uses and the different features of
the opera were very we'll rendered.
The Gobble Song was finely rendered
and enthusiastically encored. A
burlesque on poker game by the

terpolated in the second act. 1t
was side-splitter, and evinced the
fact that most everybody in the aud
ience was sufficiently familiar with
the great American game to recognize
it even though not one of its de-
votees. The company is highly cap
able one and one of the pleasant feat
ures connected with it's engagement
in any town is the fact that it's men,
bers are all gentlemen and ladies. Its
manager will not allow a man or wo-
man of any other character to remain
with the organization. The company
will be welcome to Sauk Centre at
any time.
