pany are guests Of the White Pelicar

have been on q tour Of their district
and are taking In klamath Falls
which 10 the last leg OF their journey
- well as the end OF their territory.
The ofllciais called today on Manager
e. G. Aestin. Of the local ONCE Of the
company, - well 90 some OF the lead
Ing patrons Of the corporation in the
city. Their object Is to see the local
conditions and ascertain the ef'icien-

that may come to their notice. and
see that everything works up to the
standard set by the company.
I'VE are getting acquainted and
looking over the field in general
way" said Mr.. Booming. 1--WE desire
to give Klamath Falls the service
equal to that rendered In any other
city. We can assure those who are
dependent on the company for some
service and who favor II with their
business that We stand ready to see
that their wants are attended 70. and
that we appreciate their kindness In
turning trafhc to us. You've got
growing territory here that promises
10 be very important In the telegraph
business. which. fortunately. grows
with the development OF any commun-
ity where the wires penetrate.
THE growth OF klamath Falls has
been q source Of considerable aston
ishment to the people who have been
acquainted with its history. From all
Indications which We can see and the
signs that are given US by talks with
people more familiar with the local
conditions than we, II appears that
your city and the surrounding terri
tory IL Just beginning to get It's stride.
The outlook for II from all we see
and hear. seems to be most excep-
tional.
The company has to keep pace
with. other conditions OF progress In |
the communities which II serves. and
Il ID up to ~ to keep In touch with
and meet the gait. One Of
the matters which We have under
is the removal OF our
local quarters. which are In charge
of Mr.. Austin. up into a more central
art Of the business district. We have
been waiting to see what the telep-
hone company would do In the mat
Isr Of changing location. with a view
o possibly being associated with them
wherever they 60. But In any event.
We want quarters that will be more
to your business men as
,oon ~ It Is possible and feasible to
arrange them. The present location
iates back some time before the city
,ad grown to Its present proportions.
md would hardly be considered up
o date. The company has not rs yet
iecided on q move. however. and we
,annot say just when It will. But as
loon a. We can get more desirable
Ind central location we will be glad
% let you know OF IT,"
