of this good man. who recently

C0LUMBUSLICKS WASHINGTON
Last Week To The Tune OF
! To ].

The Washington Base Bal, team
went to olumbus last Fri day and
got licked good and plenty, and
not by the same animals that licked
Lazarus, but by that everlasting,
hard hitting, hard fighting, never
quitting Columbus team, who fight
for supremacy with the tenacity of
a bull dog.
The game was listless and full Of
errors on both sides, but the major
part were made by the Regulars.
We got but one measley little run
while Columbus scored seven times,
and the only consolation we can get
from such result is that it is bet
ter than eleven to a good and heavy
coat of kalsomine. Columbus sim
ply played, whip cracker, ring a.
round Rosy, hide and seek, and all
the old time games and few Of the
late games with our boys.
Things looked very dangerous
for Columbus at two or three times
during the game, but the Regulars
would lose their heads and out they
would go-one, two, three. 1t
looks like our boys get scared when
they get three miles from home,
and should we have the pleasure Of
meeting Columbus again on their
own grounds, we are going to try
! to prevail upon the good Mothers
of Washington to accompany their
boys and help to drive away this
fear,
After all, it is no doubt better
that Columbus won; we want few
more games during the season and
had we won this game, under the
|rules of Sport, We would not have
been permitted to play them; they
would have been Gnt of our class !;
we had shut them cut IN the previ-
Gus game and then to have beaten
them aga.n would have barred the
game; as it is, they now have a
record which permits us to play
them at least couple more games.
Then again, base ball is only
past time and sport and all efforts
should be made to prevent any Sc
rious results in the way of persona
injury ',s.l Or loss a

MUNICIPAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Manager Rebman Creates Uproar in
Telephone Convention

+. f. Rebman, manager of the city
telephone system, delivered an address
before the Independent Telephone
association at their recent meeting on
Municipal Ownership of Telephones
in which he referred to the Brookings
telephone system as an example of
what might be done along the line.
During his address he spoke a good
word for the Independent lines and
gave the monopoly or Bell system a
well deserved slap.
j. w. l.. Zeitlow of Aberdeen who
| is at present in the employ of the
| monopoly and has no business to be
| member of the Independent associa-
ton took occasion to say that Mr.. Reb-
man had misrepresented conditions
here, and that the municipal plant was
| lOosing money, but he in turn was call
| ed down by statement of a gentle.
man from Huron who had been sent
to Brookings along with another citi
zen of Huron to find out if the stories
Zeitlow had bten telling were true,
the association that Mr.. Rebman had
not only told the truth, but that he had
| failed to give all the beneficial effects
of municipal ownership which they had
found to exist here in Brookings.
Zeitlow gave as his rtason for at
lacking Mr.. Rebman that to have such
a statement go before the public would
make trouble-that people might think
the telephone companies were making
too much money. eW imagine that
the real meat in the nutshell is that
the monopoly company is afraid to
have the public know what money is
being made because the state may in
crease their taxes commensurate with
their net income. One thing is certain
that XeitloW has made a pretty fair
thing off the people. A few years ago
he was not worth a dollar and now he
is credited with having an annual in
come of something like $50, 600 wholly
derived from his telephone interests.
The fact Of the matter is that this
state should encourage the construc-
ton Of an independent toll or gen
eral through telephone system all over
the state. At the present time the
monopoly system holds fall sway and
We are obliged to pay from - to So
per cent more for long distance mes
sages than would be the Ease if there
was an Independent long distance or
toll line established
When Ieitlow established the local
| system here in BrOOkings, in order to
encourage people To subscribe for
stock he informed business men that
there was at least 1G per cent profit
in the business clear OF all expenses
Either he made false statement at
that time or, if he told the truth then,
which we are inclined to believe he
did, Mr.. Rebman's statement at Mitch
ell was conservative.
We have at present a property worth
about $20.00O. At even - per cent
profit would make n SUM Of $4,000 an
nual profit to the city while Mr.. Reb-
man only claimed profit of $4,000.
Mr.. Rebman requested that the as
ISOLATION send a committee to Brook
ngs to investigate his claim and stat
ed that he would guarantee that there
would be an interesting disclosure for

no idea Of creating disturbance by

take in making a personal attack up
on him and that the exposures which
are bound to follow will be of great
value to municipalities and the state in
