ABSURD
Says Rottger of the Bell Tele
phone Company.
Charge That Party Lines Will
Be Abolished Branded as
False.

G. Il. Bottger. superintendent of
the Illinois division of the Central
+ Union Telephone company is in town
looking after the Bell interests in the
election of next Tuesday.
Replying 10 pointed questions by
reporter of The Argus Mr.. Rottger
confirmed all the recent rumors OF
. improvements To be made in the Bell
system here. We must admit said
he. that our Rock Island property
Is not what il ought TO be and that
great Improvements are needed. We
have had the plans ready for d year
or more but owing 10 uncertainties
regarding our franchise and the pos
sibiliry of acquiring the Union EIec-
trio property, We have held up 4
large portion Of our reconstruction
pending the puplic's decision.
We need an entire new switch
board here. similar ~ those recently
installed at Gaiesburg. PeOTia. Rock
ford and Kankakee
To put in such q switchboard Civ
ing modern service We must have q
larger building. We outgrow build
ing every 10 wears or SO and this one
was built in 1900.
This is one Of the heavy items of
expense in the telephone business.
is it true that the telephone com
pany Is 10 abolish the cheap party
line telephone service OF the working
men, was the next question pro-
pounded.
Certainly not. said Mr.. Rorrger-
the idea is absurd on the face of it.
Anybody who has ever been away
from home knows that every Bell
telephone exchange in the United
States has q large proportion OF par
~ lines Why in Chicago 40 Der
cent OF the Bell telephones are four
party lines, and they cost the resi-
dents only 2 dollar and half
month. This is the fixed policy OF
the Bell company. Davenport has
-four party lines. and every city in
this neisbborhood has plenty ~
them.
we arc just as anxious 70 get
more subscribers as Is a newspaper
Every additional subscriber increases
our income. and our chance Of get
ting toll business.
AS explained fully in our first ad-

is ny getting a dense development.
The more subscribers we get 70 the
block the smaller our construction
cost per subscriber. When We have
built an underground line or a pole
line past q block We have incurred q
heavy expense. To realize the most
on that investment We must sell ser
vice 70 everybody in the block We
have GOT 70 make the price SO ioT
il will be true economy for even the

What We really want 70 dc Is TO buy

The Peltier murder case will come
up for trial in Bottineau the coming
week. Sheriff Boyd of Bottineau coun
ty was an arrival here today for the
purpose of returning with Joe Peltier
who was convicted and sentenced to
death for the murder of A. Johnson,
and his niece, in the Turtle Noun.
tain country of Bottineau county
over year ago. The convicted man
in company with his brother and an
Indian named Rising Sun committed
one of the foulest crimes in the history
OF the staote, and at the trial both of
the Peltiers were sentenced to death.
The evidence of Rising Sun was used
by the state which aided in the con-
viction. The younger of the Peltieds
received communication of sentence
by the governor, and Joe Peltler was
granted new trial by the supreme
court last January. The second trial
will take place at Bottineau before
Judge Burr. States Attorney Weeks
will be assisted in the prosecution
by former States Attorney Bowen, who
conducted the prosecution at the first
trial.
