sumo that A. B. c and d represent
different towns which are connected
by long distance lines in the manner
shown. We first built line from A
to boo miles, and established
rate based on pole line mileage; then
we extended the line from B to c.
100 miles further. The rate between
B and c was again figured on the
pole line mileage: we were Obliged
to base the rate ON 2OO-mile haul
Later on the line was extended to
D-50 miles further. and rate made
between A and ID. based again on pole
line mileage via b and c to D. Now
the airline distance between a and
d is approximately 10 miles, while
by the pole line route through b and
c it is $50 miles.
1t can be seen that a rate based on
250-mile haul must necessarily
seem excessive when we consider the
actual distance between towns A and
ID.
This is also true of the rate be-
tween a and c. pole line 200 miles,
direct line 14I miles; and between
B and d as well, where the pole line
route amounts to so miles, while by
direct or airline it is only 10 miles
1t is clear from the above illustra-
ton that. as our pole lines were ex-
tended and rates based upon pole line
mileage or routes. taking it through
out the whole system. there have
grown up in many cases what appear
to the public high charges for COM
paratively short distances; while be-
tween other points. as A to b. the
charges are consistent in nearly all
cases.
However. this company has decid-
ed that the only solution of this inn
portant problem will be a straight,
business-lil1e readjustment of all long
distance rates from an entirely new
basis such basis, it has been determ-
ined. to be entirely just and equitable |
to all must be figured, approximately |
on airline distances between all |
points. altogether disregarding the /
pole line routes.
We have. therefore, cut up the ter
ritory by dividing the whole into sec
tions . miles square, as illustrated by /

LEADvILLE RACE MAT1NEES
Ispecial to The Sentinel. !

Leadville, Colo, May 21.-At a
meeting of the Gentlemen's Driving
Club last night it was decided to con
duct racing matinee at the local
driving park every Sunday afternoon
during the summer. Admission to
these events will be free. 1t is also
planned to hold a big race meet here
later in the season. The following
officers of the organization have
been selected: President, William
e Cole; vice president. Lee Callen:
secretary and treasurer, George II.
Colehan; directors. Price Wanklin.
T. V. Gallaher and George P. Murray.
The club, which was started only two
weeks ago. already has a membership
of 63 and is growing.
The daily sentinel., 1909-05-21

In the above diagram we viii as
sumo that IA Junta, Colo. falls in
section A. while Trinidad. Colo, falls
in section M. The distance is then
determined between the centers of
sections A and M, and the rate be-
tween these two points is based on
this air line mileage. See black
line)
BY the dotted line is shown the
route of our pole lines. which, of
course, is considerably further, and
clearly illustrates the difference be-
tween the old and the new basis of
| figuring long distance tariffs.
1t has been rather difficult to de-
/ eide that such a schedule based on
airline distances would prove salts
! factory to the company in this pc
culiarly mountainous country, where,
| for the most part, our lines have to
| follow the valleys or wagon roads,
often in a very circuitous route.
However. since it seems that this
method is the only fair one upon
which to base long distance rates, we
believe we have made no mistake in
adopting it. We hope the many re-
ductions which IL incurs will en-
courage a heavier patronage between
the points where such reductions are
made, and that this, in time. will
offset the loss which we expect at
present will result from this rate
change.
When we commenced to build up
our long distance system we knew
very little about how to do it. The
telephone business was new and we
found that we had to be the pioneers
in mountainous telephone line engin-
eering. Because of these conditions

ers too low, in view of what we now
know. The present readjustmenl
corrects both these points and makes
them consistent and fair.
1t is very essential that the people
