Saw the Meteor Fall

A few people in Miami. also a
party of Miamians fishing at
Roosevelt, saw the fall of a ball
of fire in the eastern sky about
FIVE o'clock last Friday e, ening.
Some who saw it describe It as
oblong, about eighteen inches in
length, others say it was about
the size of a team and wagon.
All agree, however, that it SEEM
ed very near, that it descended
very slowly and lett a smoky
trail in the sky.-Messenger.
The above is undoubtedly the
same meteor that fell at Aztec
and Miami is the remotest dis
tance from here that we have
any reports of it's being heard.

Portland, Oregon, is the scene
OF finish fight between one
man and a billion-dollar trust.
The fight has been going on for
year, and will continue until
the man wins or loses. At pres
ent he has the better of the scrap.
The man is Samuel Hill, Penn
sylvanfa Quaker, eccentric SON.
in-law of j. J. Hill, and president
of the Home Telephone company
of Portland. He is fighting the
Bell Telephone trust. If he wins
the Home company will be the
only independent company in the
northwest.
But get this right. It is not
the Home company against the
trust-it is Sam" Hill, Quaker,
against the trust. The company
tried fighting the trust and came
within a hairs breath of losing.
Then Sam" happened along and
now the battle is going the other
way.
Sam had been running the
good roads" work in Washington,
but when Gov. Hay sent the con-
victs back to work in the jute
mill to pay a political debt put
ting an end to the good roads
work, Sam left the state. He said
he would not live there as long as
Hay was governor.
About this time the Home Tele-
phone company, in which Sam
owned stock, needed help.
The trouble was that the COM
pany was held by men who were
back of other telephone compa-
MES in the northwest. Bonds from
the other companies were involved
in the failure of the Oregon Trust
C Savings bank and several men
were interested in the Home COM
pany, not from choice, but neces-
sity, and when the other indie
pendent companies began to lose
in the fight against the trust,
some of these financiers wanted
to sell out to the trust, quick.
They would not hear of ad-
more money to make the
local company success. Operat-
Ing expenses were n1gn ana IL |
looked like the trust would win. |
Then Sam Hill came along.
He made an agreement where
by he was not to get any salary
or expense money. He didn't
need the money, he said, but he
sure did want to wallop a trust.
you see, we Quakers don't
think one man should keep his
neigh Dor from getting enough to
eat, just to satisfy his greed
that's why we don't like trusts.
Thee understands that, does
thee?"
Sam doesn't use his Quaker
"thees" and 'thous" any more,
except when he gets real earn
est.

Jim Hills railroads. He kent the
job until he had everything sys-
telnatized and when there was
nothing left to do but watch 1t
go, Sam quit to hunt more work.
Sam saw that two clerks could
do the bookkeeping on the 10000
accounts the Home Telephone
company had and still not work
over eight hours day.
1t took him six months to sys-
tematize the entire plant, and
now, according to the best tele-
phone engineers in the world, it
is the finest in existence.
Besides being the brains of the
phone company, he is a good
roads" expert and a "back to the
farm" enthusiast. He got a set of
stereopticon views on this SUBJ
ject, and started out to get ac-
quainted with the people of Port
land. The general manager of
the telephone company runs the
stereopticon and the treasurer
acts as helper.
Sam speaks somewhere every
night: to an improvement club, in
a lodgeroom or in some church
impressing the people with the
value of good roads and of going
back to the farms-and he also
tells them about the Home Tele-
phone company.
Sam has over $4,000 subscribers
to his company now, and is get
ting more every day.
Unwilling bondholders can keep
him from issuing more bonds, and
the billion dollar Bell Telephone
trust can keep Big Business from
lending him money, but neither
can keep him from winning the
hearts of the people.
