met were of an unusual ordcr--hospi-
taliiy. kindliness, intellect and keen

of the greeting we received here on
our way through nor did we find any
thing more to be admired than your
beautiful city

The Mountain States Telephone q
Telegraph company will commence to-
day the distribution Of the new tele-
phone directory for Salt Lake cx-
change. The new book is larger than
any previous issue, and with the addi-
tion of many subscribers names, the
work of distribution will be consider
ably increased.
The telephone company has provided
large force Of distributors, each with
n defined district to serve. who will
deliver the new books to subscribers,
and IL is intended by the telephone peo-
pie that the work shall be completed
in record time, and that every sub
scriber shall he in possession Of the
new directory in day or so.
The distributors will make special
request, at the time OF the delivery of
the new book, for the return of all old
editions. As explained bv q telephone
official yesterday, il is absolutely
necessary that the old directories be
destroyed, as the inadvertent use of
out of date lists by subscribers, and the
probable calling for changed or obso,
lete numbers, is the direct cause of a
large percentage of operating errors
and faulty service, and IL is the desire
Of the company that patrons cooperate
in eliminating this cause OF trouble by
returning their old books.
