RAWHIDE TELEPHONE LINE
First Message Passed Over the Line Yesterday
To The San Francisco Stock Exchange.

A double force of lineman are at work
for the Fairview Telephone and Tele.
yraph Company stringing the wires be.
tween Fallon and Rawhide, and it is ex'
pected that communication between these
points will be established and the line
open for business next Friday, the l4th
inst. That is the date fixed upon by
by the management of the company to
accommodate its many patrons. One
force of men is working from Sand
Springs toward Rawhide and another
force is rapidly working forward from
the opposite direction to meet them.
When this line is thrown open to the
public for business it will mean much
to the mercantile and other interests oil
Fallon. Our merchants and Transports
tion companies are making heroic bid
TO secure and maintain their share OF
the trade and travel going in that di-
rection, and it will not be their fault if
they do not get it, and in this connection
the Standard congratulates the manage
msnt of the Fairview Telephone and
Telegraph Company for its ready grasp
OF the needs Of its patrons and the
promptness with which il executes the
same when once convinced.
Senator X. l.. Douglass, president of
the Fairview Telephone and Telegraph
Company. returned yesterday from San
Francisco, where he had gone on bust
ness connected with that company. He
informed the Standard that hereafter
all messages sent from any Western
Union Office in the United States would
be routed via Reno and through Fallon
over the fairview Telephone and Tele-
graph Company's lines. Also that the
Pacific coast superintendent of the
Western Union had taken up the
matter OF consolidating the down town
offices OF both lines in this city, with
headquarters in the post office building,
which will probably be done within the
next thirty days. All of which is good
news for the business interests OF Falon
and is conclusive evidence OF the grow
lug Importance OF the town.
LATER-The usual promptness of the
officials of the Fairview Telephone and
Telegraph Company has resulted in the
line being completed forty-eight hours
ahead of all estimates, and the follow
ing message was flashed over the wires
last evening:
