TELEPHONE COMPANY
RAISES ITS RATES
GENERAL INCREASE OF 25
PER CENT Is ANNOUNCED
Subscribers Must Pay S1.50 a Month
Now-People Do Not Welcome the
Ncws-Management Says Service Is
Growing Better and Larger.

Telephone subscribers are being
greeted with an unpleasant surprise
in the shape of 25 per cent increase
in rates as they call at the local Of
flee to pay their bills this month.
The new rate is $3.50 per month for
four party phones instead of s1.25.
In explanation of the advance G..
F. Moore jr., the local manager,
simply stated that the company was
standardizing its four party line rates
in this city, For the past several
months all new subscribers have been
charged at the rate of $3.50 per
month and this general advance for
the old ones is simply making an
equal rate for all obtaining the same
service
Mr.. Moore says that those who are
complaining forget that the exchange
is rapidly growing and that they have
now more than a thousand connec-
made, there were only 500 or 600
connections. He says the subscrib-
ers are also being given better serv-
ice and better facilities in every way
than they ever had before.
To substantiate the contention that
the rates are no higher here than in
other places he cited Walla walla.
where the rate is 50 and Athena and
Hermiston, where the rate is $3.50 in
each instance
Mr.. Moore also called attention to
the fact that the increase was insig-
nificant since it amounted to less than
a cent n day for each subscriber.

According to the records of the To-

That the rainfall for the present
year will surely exceed the normal by
a few inches is evident, not only be-
cause there is now an excess of two

for the seven months is within 2.3S

81 Want Present Standard of Game Maintained,
That's Why Am Against Syndicate Ease Ball.

until a couple of years ago, when
an effort was made to approach a
|couple of umpires. The exposure
following resulted in the would-be
briber being forever barred from
base ball grounds.
It is because 1 desire to see the
present lofty standard of the na-
tional game perpetuated that l am
against syndicate ball. 1 don't
believe one man, or one set of
men, should control two clubs in
the same league.
While 1 do not believe for an
instant that the owner of two
clubs would use either one to ad-
vance the other, / do know that
the game would be healthier if
every club was owned by a differ
|ent man.
When it was rumored that the
Kansas City and Louisville clubs
of the American association were
owned by one man there was al
ways more or less talk. The
chances are there was no founda-
ton for this, but the public is nat
Iurally suspicious, and when the
struggle becomes keen people will
express their opinion without car
ing whose toes they walk upon.
There is absolutely no rs
ecesity for creating suspicion
in the minds of the base ball
public, and for that reason
i the most strenuous legisla-
tion possible should be enact
ed, which will tend to pre-
1 vent syndicate ball at any
4 time.
Base ball is too great an insti.
tuition, much too great, for us tc
permit one man to in the slightest
way threaten its future prosperity
or to give it a black eye in the
Iopinion of the American people
lwho support 1t with their quarters
