property on Grand Ave. near the rail-

better than ordinary brick.

MARRIAGE Lenqthens Life,

If you desire to live to a good old
age you will do we'll to read what an
eminent doctor says on the subject.
He makes, first OF all, the bold state
ment that anyone who desires to live
for four score and ten years should
get married. In other words, he
claims that conjugal life is a necessary
condition Of longevity. Here are the
statistics which support this state
ment: OF 200 persons who have
reached the age of 40 years the doctor
found that 1875 were married and rs
unmarried. OF 70 men who had
reached the age of so years he found
that AZ were married and % unmar-
ried- He next took SO men, each of
whom. was in his SEVENTEEN year, and
he found that 81 were married and II
unmarried
Again the doctor has discovered that
the mortality among bachelors be-
tween the ages of 80 and As is as
high as ~ per cent, whereas among
those who are married 1t does not ex-
coed Is per cent. 1t is evident that
we must acknowledge the potency of
these figures, and that, If we desire
to live to a good old age, we should
get married as soon as possible.

With Pacific Telephone and Tcle-

General Manager d. S. Murray of the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone COM
pany will resign his position here IN q
| short time to accept q more important
post in the Bell service. He will go
to San Francisco to assume an exec
utive place with the Pacific Telephone
L. Telegraph company.
The change has not been given out
officially, and Mr.. Murray declines to
discuss it but the fact that he is to
make the change Is admitted to be
true. r. G. Bradley, vice president
and general manager of the Pacihc
company is now in the east and no
announcement VIII probably be made
until he returns to San Francisco. 1t
Is known, however, that Mr.. Murray
will have high executive position with
the Pacific company. whose territory
includes California, Washington, ore
gon, Arizona and Nevuda. II has the
largest territory of any of the Bell
companies.
Mr.. Murray has been general man
ager of the local Bell company for
about 10 years. Prior to his election
TO that office he was general superin-
tendent of the company and before
that was superintendent of the Mon
tana division. He went TO work for
the company as n collector, when he
was scarcely more than a boy and has
been with 1t continuously since 1854.
In which time he has become one of the
best known figures in the business field
of the inter-mountain country.
This promotion. evidently, is one of
the results of the recent visit Of a dis
tinguished party of telephone exec
utives, headed by Theodore Vail. Other
announcements of Importance in the
telephone world are expected at the
Bell Offices almost daily.
