Ice there. under the Bell one-phone
system, IL was told me, is now
$3.50 a month. DO away with

THE TELEPHONE is an irritat-
ing Indispensable necessity. We are
now facing higher rates, poorer
service, and big chance to lose
10000 long.distance phone calls a
month and a municipal plant. We
need the city phone. too.

only one phone here--the Bell.

THE INDEPENDENT company

for Is years, but has yet II TO run.
The city hailed this company as
friend. All this time the regions
outside Of King county we're cut off
from the city.
THE NEW COMPANY at once
encouraged the building Of local In
dependent companies in Snohomish.
Skagit, Whatcom, Kltsap and coun.
ties lying south Of King. On the
strength of this 25-year franchise
citizens OF these rural districts
INVESTED THEIR MONEY in
these small companies. To-day
there are about 10000 phones In
use connected with Seattle, and
from $1,000 to 10000 long distance
calls a month. bringing business to
the city.
ALL THIS WAS DONE on the
promise that connection would be

1--WE are talking about a land pro-
ducts show now, but it is merely an
incident-just the first small enter
prise of the Northwest Development
League" said Mr.. Campbell. "This
show will cost $4,000 outside the
cost to each exhibitor and each state.
1t will be a tremendous advertise
ment for the Northwest.
Not to Be Money Maker
"Still, we do not say that the hold
ing of land shows is the best way to
advertise the opportunities of state
like Washington. We are simly go
ing to hold such a show in St. Paul,
near which city there are 100000
people on farms within four hours
ride of the Twin City. We are going
to run this show right, without max
Ing any money on it, and when we
come to Seattle next June it will be
interesting to hear reports from those
engaged in the movement, and learn
just what the results have been.
The Washington state exhibit fol
the Twin City land show is being pre-
pared and Rufus r. wilson will at
tend a meeting of the Washington
commissioners for this purpose In
Spokane this week. The exhibit will
contain a graphic display of what
Washington industries are, from
agriculture to mining; from lumber.
ing to fishing. The space for the
exhibit is furnished by the city where
the show is held, which is rule Of
the league.
