Extending Telephone System

The Golden Valley Telephone
Company is doing some great
work in the matter Of rebuilding,
extending and improving its lines
and service. All of which prompts
us to wonder if the fact is APP
preciated by the public.
Since spring opened a crew of
fifteen men has been kept on the
hump continually. and in that
time about IS miles Of country
lines have been constructed, the
whole system on the north side Of
this city rebuilt, twenty new
numbers added to the switch
board. and various other improve
ments made.
During the last week there was
strung 1.S0o feet Of cable, one
thousand feet of it lO0-pair tube.
and the balance 25-pair. The
company's Office and central will
soon be located on the north side,
on North Grant Street, adjoining
the Dacotah Lumber Co.'S yard,
where it will have commodious
quarters. and already has a fine
barn and tool house.

had his eye removed in Minneapolis

the other one was to remove its

home in about two weeks from
the date Of the operation. That
nothing may ever happen to his

the report that Clarence Chase,

establishment in this city. now
holding down a claimstead eigh-

at Miles City Thursday. We be.
lieve the report, for the reason
that the lady who is alleged to
have become his bride. Miss
Elma Cheesman of Black River
Falls, Wis, told the writer per-
sonally that she wouldn't marry
Mr.. Chase if he were the last man
on earth. and as Chase is neither
the last nor the best man on this
terrestrial ball we suppose he is
'it' now. Miss Cheesman left
here. where she had been visiting
friends, several weeks ago, osten-
sibly for her home in Wisconsin.
1t seems, however. that she went
straight west as far as Wibaux and
right out to the homestead. where
she made herself at home with the
parents Of her future husband.
All, we'll, we suppose there is
nothing to do now but offer them
our condolences.

ROUGH TRAVELLING
Another Path6ndinx Car Makes Slow
Time Between Capitals.

IL seems that the roundabout route
for automobiles between Washington
and Richmond by the way of Leesburg.
Bluemont. Winchester. Staunton and
Charlottesville affords as many difficult
ties for the machines as tie shorter
route by way of Fredericksburg.
With several hundred pounds Of red
clay clinging TO the Amplex car. and
with clothing saturated with the same
substance, the pathfinders for The
Washington Post touring test run rolled
INTO Richmond at noon Wednesday AZ
hours behind schedule time.
When they left Stanton at 3 O'Clock
Monday morning. they anticipated ar
irving in Richmond at or \ O'Clock
that evening, but the road conditions in
Fluvanna and Goochland counties dis
PEELED all such hope.
Fast time and good roads were en-
countered as far as Charlottesville.
After that point the trouble began.
Near Scottsville the car got out OF
control, and landed in the ditch. One
hours work with a block and tackle

gasoline gave out and it was hard to
find a supply.
