Rate Case
Appealed
ByPiOnCcr
Enid Telephone Complaint
Goes TO the Supreme
Court

Guthrie. Okla, Nov. 2s.-The Pho
neer Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany has appealed to the supreme
court from the decision of the corpora
tion commission in the case brought
against It by citizens Of Enid to COM
pei the lowering of rates in that city.
The company seeks to have the rates
put into effect by its order Of Dec. /.
1907, restored allowing it to charge
SO per month for business phones and
So for residences. The order Of the
corporation commission from which 1t
appeals orders the lowering OF the
rates to So and $1.5O, respectively. The
company alleges that this rate is con-
fiscatory and would not allow It to
pay expenses.
The case was argued before the
commission last spring and was very
hard fought at that time Both sides
brought experts from the East to tes-
tify at the hearing. The principal ex-
pert for the Enid people and the state
was James C. Kelsey. a former Kan
sas man. who is now general sales
agent for big switchboard company.
He is graduate Of the University OF
Kansas and known all over the state
as a baseball player, having been Dale
Gears running mate in the middle
nineties. He was for some time pro
fessor of telephone engineering az
Purdue university, and is one of the
recognized telephone experts of tie
country.

Need a New
Game Law
Movement on Foot to
Protect Migratory Birds
Ducks Slaughtered

Muskogee, Okla, Nov. 23.-When
the Oklahoma legislature assemblies at
Guthrie the first of the year it will
be asked to pass a game law which
will prohibit the sale Of migratory
game birds in the state. The motive
back Of this is to prevent the whole
sale slaughter of ducks during the
fall and winter. when wild ducks are
alighting and feeding in countless
thousands about the grassy lakes, riv-
ers and slashes, as they have been
doing during the past two weeks.
The law as it now stands contains
no prohibition as to the number of
ducks that may be killed by one per-
son in q day, or their sale in the To-
cal foreign markets. The result has
been been that during the past two
weeks every local market has been
glutted and they have been slaugh-
tered by the hundreds by pot hunters.
There is one local dealer in Musko-
gee who, during the past week, has
bought and sold 1900 ducks, nearly
all of them mallards. Other dealers
have been doing the same thing In
the small towns near the lakes and
rivers where the ducks have been SO
glutted that the price dropped to al
most nothing. There is one family at
