MESA
TELEPHONE RATES
CUT At MESA
An Explanation by General MANAGER
BuehIer.

District Manager Buehler of the Con-
sohdated Telephone, Telegraph and
Electric company was a Mesa visitor
yesterday and explained the telephone
rates IN existence under the readjust-
ment system. 1t might be well to ex-
plain that in an article Monday morn
ing IN The Republican the rates now in
force were brought up and the question
was asked concerning them. The idea
was TO get an explanation as to why
the minimum rate to Florence from
Phoenix was twenty-five cents and
that the minimum rate between Mesa
and Phoenix was twenty-five cents.
Mr.. Buehler in his explanation said:
Every town in Arizona on the Con-
solidatei lines can be reached from
Mesa at the same cost as that charg-
ed at Phoenix. The Mesa people can
talk to Buckeye or Wickenburg on
the same rate as to Phoenix. 1t costs
thirty-five cents to communicate
with Globe or Prescott from either
Phoenix or Mesa. Mesa has been put
on the Phoenix basis and the people
of the capital city pay just as much
as the people of Mesa for every COM
lilllliNelAAtlA ~ any PlelNC III llS
tory"
In regard to the Florence rate Mr..
Buehler said: The rate to Florence is
twenty-five cents for one minute from
either Mesa or Phoenix. The rate in
existence between Mesa and Phoenix
is twenty-five cents for a three min
utes' conversation. Three minutes
conversation between Florence and
Mesa or Phoenix would cost fifty-five
cents, the additional minutes being
fifteen cents each. A careful record
has been kept for some time on
the length of the communications
between Mesa and Phoenix and it has
been found. in averaging six months
business, that the conversation is APP
-pFOximately two and one-half min
-utes" 1t will be seen from this that
the present rate of twenty five cents
for a three minutes conversation
would probably cost the people of
Mesa less money than if the rate was
made fifteen cents for a one minute
conversation and ten cents for addi-
tional minutes.

MESA DEPARTMENT. III cHAs E ION

NO FOOT BALL WILL Be
PLAYED At HIGH SCHOOL
It Will Have No Place in Athletic
Program.

In the organization of the athletic
team at the Mesa union high school
this season it has been decided that
there will be no football team, but the
prospects are better for n winning
baseball aggregation than ever in the
history of the school. The strong
feature of the team to be organized is
that of Morris as catcher, with prob
ability that Leo Cuber will enter
school later on. which will mean orr
of the strongest batteries in the ter
ritory. Norris has reputation
which extends over the territory and
he is in constant demand, while Gu
bers record as a pitcher is a Very
enviable one. He as well as Morris
some time ago entered the profession
al class, where they have continued
to make good. With Cuber and Nor
ris as the high school battery and a
bunch of thirty-four young men to
pick from for the out and in fields it
is evident that Mesa should commence
to prepare to win the championship
of the territory in collegiate baseball.
The athletic team of which men
ton was made in The Republican has
been organized and the first country
run will take place in the immediate
future. The team is made up OF
thirty-five enthusiastic members and
the present. work will be devoted to a
preparation for the contests at the
fair. The Marathon will be a feature
of the racing but the limit will be
placed at one mile.
The athletic organization is under
the direction of Professor Johnson and
he is very enthusiastic over the pros
poets. Fifty dollars have already been
expended in field goods

THE HOME COMPANYS
TOLL LINE UNDER WAY
Only Short Gap Between Mesa and
Phoenix.

Attorney j. H. Langston, with the
Peoples Independent Telephone Com
pany, was a Mesa visitor yesterday
and gave out the information that the
next move would be to establish a toll
line between Mesa and Phoenix. In
order to substantiate his statement he
stated that a carload of poles for this
work are at Tempe. The installing
of toll line will not be the under
taking that might be supposed, for it
Will only require the closing of the
gap which now exists between the
rural line running east from Phoenix
and the line running west from
Mesa. The Home company's lines
extend five miles this side of Phoe-
nix and the Independent lines run
four miles west from
Mesa, figuring the distance between
Phoenix and Mesa as eighteen miles,
this will mean the actual con-
struction of approximately nine miles
of line. Mr.. Langston was not in a
position to state what the cost of the
service would be between the two
points, as he stated that he had not
gone over that phaze of the question
Will VI the llIltS-
unless other arrangements are made,
will in all probability be left to one
side
In regard to the Mesa system, which
has been in operation for several
months, Mr.. Langston stated that it
was already a paying proposition. He
did not convey the information that
the line was paying for the many new
lines being built, or for the other i'm
provements going on, but that the
current expenses were being returned
in rentals, while the company is get
ting stronger all the time.
In regard to the long distance SER
vice it was suggested by Mr.. Langston
that arrangements had been effected
with the Home company TO establish
phones in a number of the leading
stores and hotels of Phoenix so that
every want of the Mesa people could
be filled In addition to this it is
further proposed to establish a mes
senger service which will practically
cover every establishment in the city.

well-knOwn fact that a considerable

been found at the head and it has
taken a good deal more blasting than
was at first anticipated. The work
has been retarded somewhat on ac-
count of the lack of powder, but with
the new supply on hand the contract
ors will now be enabled to blow up
a mile or two of rock at a time if
they find it necessary.
