1t is expected that work will
soon be started on building the
Challis- Pahsamaroi Valley Tele-
phone Line. Over forty shares
or sufficient amount of the
stock has been subscribed. No
person can purchase over one
share, and the cost per share is
not to exceed $50. Each person,
firm or family are to have one
telephone instrument installed
in their home or business place
that is, the subscribers. and they
are entitled to the absolute free
use of the telephone service.

line which connects nearly all

valley. and it is also intended to
extend this line over Pass creek
and connect with Mackay. In
Challis all or nearly all the busi-
ness houses have taken stock,

along the line also have stock in
the proposed line. It proposed
to charge non subscribers for

estimated will pay for maintain

to have an exchange or central
in Challis. The system will
probably have its faults at the

people over the territory that it
