TO REDUCE LONG

Commercial Superintendent Baker of Southwestern Telegraph X TcIe- phone Co. Announces Gut in
 Rates to Memphis from
 Sections in Arkansas

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 25-F'0lI0W- ing a conference among a number of telephone officials at the division of fices of the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Company in this city today, P. K. Baker, general conner eial superintendent of the SouthWest- elH. whose office iS in Dallas, Texas, that by reason Of the ab- sorption of the Patterson Telephone Company bE the Southwestern a re- dUetion of 10 per cent in the long dis ta1ee rates from Newport, BatesvtIle and towns in that section of the state and Memphis is made. It will be TO- memhcred that a short time ago the Patterson Telephone Company sold out to the Southwestern and the re- duction in the long distance rates is the result.
 Under the Patterson Telephone Company's regime, the rates between these points to Memphis were not to be especially high for a detached company, but with the consolidation the Southwestern is en- abled to cut these rates almost in half which, it is pointed out, will operate to the material advantage of these districts.
