improvements
In Telephone
Service Here

improvements. for which the sum
of $780, 900 will be spent in Walla Wal
la during the coming year by the of
ficials of the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company are contemplated,
according to- the announcement made
by General Superintendent David
Murray, of San Francisco, who was IN
made the statement to S. B. Calder
head, general agent of the Northern
Pacific company, who had just re-
turned from the east
Although Manager F. Bacon, of the
local exchange has not been officially
notified of the cosnpany's intention
to enlarge the Walla Walla plant, he
has heard through unofficial sources,
that such a move was contemplated,
and it is understood that the requisi-
ton for the first $4,000 to carry on
the work has been approved by Su-
perintendent Murray. Other appro-
priations will be made as rapidly as
needed until the local exchange has
been placed on a footing above any
| in the northwest. In speaking of the
proposed changes in the company's
! holdings here. Manager Bacon this
afternoon said:
81 have not yet been officially mott
| ed of such improvements, but I sup
pose the main part of the work will
! be in adding more cables and under
ground wires. Some parts of the sys-
tenn are now badly opngested, and
[ the installation of new cables will
| greatly facilitate our ability to ac-
commodate those who have made ap-
| plication for telephones. We now
have about 270O instruments in and 7
believe. that with the improvements
| the number will increase to 5000 with
i ing the next six months.
| "Walla Walla has an exceptionally
/ good percentage of telephones in use
With population of 10000 people, the
ratio is about one to 8 peOnle and
within the next few months will in
crease to one to Z. The money an
nropriated for the Improvement of the
| long distance department has already
been utilized, placing that portion OF
| the exchange in excellent condition
AS 7 have not been officially notified
| of the proposed move. [ cannot say lr
what manner the exchange is to be
bettered. but 7 should consider the in
stallaton Of new cables the more i'm
! portant necessity"
Mr.. Calderhead, who recentlv r0-
+, turned from the Falls CITY, reports
that the announcement was mad
without reservation by Mr.. MURRAY
and that Chief Engineer Charles w
B,lrkett of San Francisco who was
with Mr.. Murray. also smoke of thu
general changes to be made in Wall
Walla and it is apparently the inten
ton of the company to make the loca
exchange one of the most modern ant
efficient in the Pacific northwest.

Want Street
improvements

Street improvements are to be the
order OF the day in Walla Walla fol-
the coming season, if petitions pre-
scented to the dty council last night
are any indication, and by the advent
of another wet" season, Walla Wal
lans may not be compelled to travel
through muddy and sloppy thorough
fares. Besides the several paving petit
tions which have been entered and
acted upon favorably, providing for
the paving of West Ma n, Rose, North
Second and North Third streets, a com
naCnlcation, signed by Councilman
John Stack was presented last night,
asking that Spokane street be paved
from Main street north to the south
line if East Rose street. The alley be-
tween Third and Fourth and Rose and
Main streets is also to be paved, the
petit on, signed by the controlling
frOnt-foOt property owners, having
been presented last night. Both paving
petitions were referred to the street
committee, pending the course of pro-
cedure which lis being prepared by the
City attirney.
Not only are streets in the BUSINESS
sect on to receive their share of at
tention along lines of improvements
but people in the residence sections OF
the city have fallen in line, and last
night petitions were entered, signed by
the prescr bed number of propert,,
owners, asking for the macadamiz ng OF
East Rose street from North Palouse
street to the intersection with North
Rose street; Crescent or East Birch
street from Park to East Alder;
Grove street from Crescent to the
south line of Washington, and Wash

Of the city council last night when
the petition of j. NJ. Ebe, asking for
rebate of his vendors license for the
ten days when weather conditions pre-
vented him from transacting business
on the streets, was read by Clerk T. d.

on motion of Councilman G. II.

Members of the council appeared to
be wholly at ease last night, probably
in the knowledge that nothing of more
than passing Importance was to de-
mand their worthy attention, but the
way routine junk was shifted from

mill was nothing short of caution.

AS the goods being sold have been IN
