ris undertaking parlors. - HALEY

new LINE
FROM BRUNfAU
Rocky Mountain Bell to Give Better
Service to Inland Towns and
Rural Districts

The telephone line connectine
Bruenau with Mountain Enme
will be reconstructed in order to
give better service and also to con-
meet with several ranches on the
road. c. A. Cray, division wire
chief from Boise, arrived in town
Tuesday to arrange for the work to
begin at once. Through the cf-
forts and commentator of c. j.
Keller, manager of thu local office
men will be secured in Mountain
Home entirely instead Of outsiders
brought in from other points. This
means that employment will go to
number of local men and the
money left in Mountain Home rather
than to outsiders which would
mean little or nothing to home in
dustry.
The new line will be constructed
along section lines and will take in
the Lamberton ranch, Wheeler's S
orchard and the Sawyer tracts.
Other ranches and farms will be
connected along the line. The old
line traverses the country in a
straight line regardless OF section
lines and connects with very few
ranches. 1t gives service between
Bruneau and Mountain Home and
that is all. The new line will
open wider communication anc
should be of very great convenience
to the farmer and considerable ben
eft to the local merchants.
