Manager Smell of the San Jaun l.
Dolores Telephone company received a
letter last week from the citizens of
Goodrich, the new town in the Bluff
oil field, stating that they were desirous
of having the Dolores and Bluff tele-

had subscribed 81, 10000 to be used for
that purpose. 1t is safe to wager that
these enterprising people will have
phone connection with Dolores in the
