TELEPHONE DEAL
HOME INDEPENDENT FIRST TO
MAKE BELL CO. RETIRE
FROM THE FIELD.

The details of the deal by which
the Home Independent Telephone
company took over the Pacific States
In Wallowa and Union counties, show
1t to be one of great magnitude, in
volving over 5000, 900 for the sale and
improvements that will be made by
the Home Independent.
The transfer includes all the prop
erty of the Pacific States in both
counties except long distance wire
from Pendleton to Baker through
Union county. All the P. s. property
in this county is transferred to the
Home company. It Is stated the
Home people are fully protected by
the contract from further competit-
ion from the Bell in this territory.
The deal was. engineered by General
Manager 8. d. Grove and reflects
credit on his generalship. 1t is the
first time an Independent company
has compelled the big Bell monopoly
to retire from field.
While both counties benefit by the
deal in securing direct long distance
connection on only one phone rental,
La Grande is the largest gamer. In
that city the Bell had more local
phones than the Home yet all busi-
ness houses had to have both phones
for the Home had many patrons in
the city as well as country. The Bell
turns over about 1900 phones, more
than doubling the number now owned
by the Home.
The growth of the Home Independ-
ent has been marvelously rapid. It
was incorporated June 25, 1904, at
Imbler by F. I. vergere, s. l.. Brooks,
and ]. l. McKinnis with capital
stock of $4,000. 1t was then known
as the Vergere system. s. D. Grove
bought a half interest in October
1905, F. I. Vergere of this city own
ing the other half. Owing to rapid
increase OF business the capital stock
was increased from time to time to
$4,000 in March, 1906, to $4,000 in
January. 1907, and In January, 1909.
to 100000. A $4,000 bond issue was
floated few years ago.
The present deal will of course mean
q further increase of stock or bond
Indebtedness. The physical valuation
of the plant today is over 100000.
The company owns over 200 miles
copper metallic toll circuits and over
$50 of iron toll circuits connecting ex-
changes and pay stations. There are
four copper wires from La Grande to
Joseph and two from La Grande to
Union and Cove.
Following is the present roster of
directors and officers: President, j.
l.. Caviness; vice president, w. ].
Church; secretary-treasurer and gen.
eral manager, s. d. Grove. Other
directors-R. e. Smith of Califor-
MIA, F. I. vergere, Enterprise, William
strenger, La Grande, and William s.

Water In Butter
Will Prove Costly
Government To Class Such Products
As MISUNDERSTANDING
Markets.

The United States government is
after manufacturers of creamery but
ter who persist in adding some low
priced water to high priced cream and
weighing the total as butter.
The internal revenue department
has served notice that no excuses Of
creamerymen regarding the way the
surplus Of water is held In the but
ter will be accepted.
There is a fine Of 10c per pound on
all butter that contains moro than 16
per cent moisture and in addition to
this the government proposes to
charge the manufacturers a tax OF
5000 a year as manufacturers of adul-
terated butter.
The government has not only de-
cided to punish creamery men who
continually violate the law regard
ing excessive moisture in butter but
dealers who handle the product will
find themselves up against the strong
arm of the law If they fail to pay am
extra tax Of $3.50 to handle such adul-
terated stock.
While the ruling of the government
applies only to butter that is sold in
terstate, an effort is being made to
have all the states along the Pacific
coast pass the same measure.-Port-
land Journal.

BATTLESHIP OREGON
BULLDOG OF AMERICAN AGAIN READY FOR SERVICE
APPRECIATION BY eooDwIWs WEEKLY OF
SALT LAKE CITY,

A dispatch informed us the other
morning that the battleship Oregon
after having undergone costly repairs
would be ready to go into commission
again in few days. We all made
note of that, because it was the
Oregon. Almost any other ship we
would read of idly and forgotten in
an hour. Why the special interest
over the Oregon? Because at a most
eventful time the Oregon ceased, in
thought, to be a mere fabric of wov-
en- and welded steel charged with
thunder and seemed to be a live Great
ure that thought and acted for her
self and accomplished wonders.
There is no doubt that what she
performed was due to a most gallant
commander and a most accomplished
that she did but what they
bade her do and painted no picture
by her deed that had not before
shone on the eyes of those two men;
but while admiration for the men was
and is very great still the ship has a
personality Of her own. She was man,
ed in honor Of great state. but she
by her performances exalted that
state and gave it dignity which she
had never acquired for herself. A
call came to her for help. To answer
the call she had to speed away four
teen thousand miles. When the jour-
ney was half completed, she touched
at a port to obtain a supply of coal.
There a message was received that
great possible dangers were in her
path, and instructions began to- reach
her how she should proceed; when
they answered back: "Do not hamp-
er us. The Oregon can take care of
herself" Then after a few days she
pulled into an obscure inlet on the
coast and wired to Washington for
instructions. She was ordered to

We find that we have none on hand

DRY GOODS REVIEW
NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-With all indications
assuring an abundance of cotton for many
months to come cotton goods merchants are now
endeayoring TO impress upon buyers the fair
ness OF current prices as represented In recent
revisions. That buyers are coming to see that
values Of today based upon those current be-
shown by the steadiness OF rect MT mall orders
for supplies OF staple domestlcs for the delivery
In the next two or three months.
There are still many spring goods to be pur-
chased ana the southern jobber Is still slow
In placing the usual volume of spring orders be-
country retailers. But nearly all the leading
cotton goods commission merchants now believe
that immature barriers to trade will be
moved soon after the holidays, and as they
have already made considerable progress In Sc
curing advance business they have been show
ing larger measure OF confidence during the
luiI that has been for the past week.
Bleached cottOns sold under the well known
brands have been cleaned up and advances from
the low point are being made. Heavy eolored
cottons are firner and leading mills are well
under order for the winter. Print cloths are
factory position a consequence of over-mill
building. Jobbers are doing a quiet, but sea
sonable trade, and retailers are naturally busy
on holiday novelties rather than on piece goods.
