POLITICIANS DAY.

The latest announcement nj line
with the many innovations to be
featured at the Spokane Interstate
Fair, October to next, will be
a Politicians Day" at which Of
flee seekers of high and low de-
gree will be given an untrammeled
opportunity to tell the "peepul"
why they should be their chosen
representatives.
1t has been suggested that GER
tain space be set aside at an adj
vantageous location on the fair
grounds. where a candidate could
be reasonably sure of having a
eood-siZed audience constantly on
hand, where he could expound at
great length his ideas as to just
how the government is to be saved.
The idea would be to assign to
each candidate a certain space of
time in which to air his views and
to give his opponent the same OPP
portunity. This would insure a
continuous performance of spell
binding that would no doubt at
tract an eager throng.

adequate guard of detectives, Jo-

murder of little Alma Kellner, ar
rived here early today and was
taken to the city jail. The auto
mobile in which Vending was
transferred from the station to the
prison was filled with policemen
and plain clothes men.
Contrary to expectation, there
was no excitement when Vending
appeared, and few knew the iden-
tity of the prisoner. Apparently
Vending was crestfallen at the
lack of demonstration over his ar
rival. but no expression of his
feelings passed his lips.

NEW TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.
New England Company Opens One
Down Town for Convenience Of Sub
scribers.

Reginning Monday morning. Aug. q.
the office of the manager of the Au-
gusta Exchange of the New England
Telephone and Telegraph Company
will be located in the newly equipped
and newly furnished quarters at 1856
Water Street, which will probably be
more easily recognized as to location
by Augusta people by the name of ths
former occupant of the store, Isaac
Bennett and known all over the state
as BENEFITS Restaurant.
The interior has been entirely re-
finished in green and mahogany. the
standard color scheme of the Com
rany's business offices. A private OIL
flee has been provided for the manager
immediately in the rear of which will
be located the public pay station
booths which will be equipped with
automatic lighting devices. In the
rear of the counter the space will be
occupied by the clerical force and the
contracts agents.
In moving its business office the
New England Telephone and Tele-
graph Company is carrying out its
policy of providing up to date offices
in the center of the business portion
of the cities and towns it serves. In
Augusta the change will be doubly
appreciated both by it's subscribers
and non-subscribers having business
to transact with the company on ac-
count of the old office being located
on the steep hill of Winthrop Street.
An innovation will be inaugurated in
the keeping of the new Water Street
office open every weekday evening
until eight o'clock and on Saturday
evenings until nine o'clock. This will
provide a long-felt want of an attend
ed pay station in the business district
and the opportunity for it's sub
scribers who find it inconvenient to
go to the office before six o'clock for
the payment of bills etc, to go dur
lug the two hours after the old clos
ing time of the office. six O'Clock.
Manager Herbert in behalf of the
company, issues a cordial invitation to
it's subscribers and the public general
ly, to inspect it's new Office at any time
and further to visit it's central office
and operating room. an attendant be-
ing cheerfully furnished to all who
may express such desire. The operat-
ing room of the Augusta Exchange
will ne found to be well worth a visit.
Many Of the Companys subscribers
have found such a visit both interest
ing and instructive and enabled them
to use the telephone more understand
ingly and to much better advantage,
1t is the desire of the company and
the local management that many
others accept the invitation.
The operating and maintenance de-
partments, known officially as the
Traffic and Plant departments, will
remain as at present in the Winthrop
Street building After Sunday there
will be no public pay station at that
loCat iOn.
