Western Union to
Improve Service

Sim Wertheimer. local manager for
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, has returned from Tacoma.
where he was called last week 20 at
tend q conference OF local managers
of the second district Of the Pacific
division of the big telegraph company
Tie conference was presided over by
District Superintendent r. 7. Reed, of
Seattle, and was attended by the man
ayers from Vancouver, Victoria, Spo-
kane, Seattle, Tacoma, Walla Walla,
Everett and Portland. Many matters
pertaining to the telegraph business in
this locality was discussed.
It has been apparent for some time
that the big telegraph company has
never regained the high standard OF
efficiency it maintained prior to the
telegraph strike of over year ago,
and it was with a view of discussing
means toward restoring this efficiency
that the conference was held. 1t was
announced that q general betterment
of the service would be made, and with
this end in view the district superln-
tendent will pay each of the larger OF
fees a visit Of inspection in the near
future

COVER INTENT EXAMS

Although the belief has long been
prevalent that any Ola body could be
a farmer, and the tiller of the soil has
been the butt of many a so-caIled

successful farmer must take a civil
service examination, and secure the re-
CURED percentage in order to receive
the appointment to such position.
Civil service examinations will be Civ
en- here February "a, to secure eIigi-
bles from which to make certifica-
ton to fill a vacancy in the posi-
ton of farmer and carpenter, at $3.50
