TELEPHONE SYSTEM
 CHANGES HANDS AGAIN
Nelson, Woods and Henning the
 New Owners


 Arizona, connected with that company and also the old Over land Company, were here this week and inspected their tele- phone holdings between here and St. Johns and on Thursday closed a deal with Messrs. Fred w. Nelson, of St. Johns, and Wm. B. Woods and Lloyd C. Henning, of Holbrook, whereby the Mountain States Company transferred all of it's telephone lines connecting the following named towns in Navajo and Apache Counties: Holbrook, Woodruff, Snowflake, Taylor, Shumway, Pinedale, Hunt. Con- cho, St. Johns. SpringerVille and Eagar, as well as several small intermediate stations. The new management assumed charge ot the property on September 1st. The price was not made public, but 1t is understo od that quite a large sum was paid and that the sale was by no means a bargain for the purchasers. The reason that tbe company sold these lines was that it was not in di- rect touch with their other ex tensive holdings and that their method of operating would be a loss to them if they retained it. This company, which is a part of the Bell companies, has recent ly purchased nearly all of the telephone systems in Arizona, and are going to spend nearly a million dollars in improvements. There are a few small lines such as the one just disposed of, that they will sell in order that they may concentrate all their i'm provements upon the revenue producing plants.
 It has been stated that they also sold the line between Hol brook and Winslow, but that is not a fact for the very simple reason that they never owned 1t or had anything to do with the operation oft in any way, shape or manner. This probably comes from the fact that the Overland Company, of Phoenix, advertised that they were the owners of the line between Winslow and Hol brook, which was not a fact. This line is seperate and distinct from all other telephone compa nies. It is operated by the North ern Arizona Telephone Company and is owned by stockholders residing in Holbrook, St. Joseph and Winslow. In justice to these local businessmen we wish to correct the impression. This com pany has cordial relations with the companies that it connects with at Winslow and Holbrook.
 
 The lines that have just been purchased by the local men are known as the Nelson Lines", the system having been in sue cessful operation for some few years and was built under his direction. The company in 1910. sold its holdings to the Overland Telephone and Telegraph Com pany, of Phoenix, Arizoua, which latter concern operated them un- til about two months ago, when it became involved in financial difficulties, caused by very bad management and probably some graft. and then the Mounta States company stepped in and paid of all debts of the Overland, paid the bonds outstanding and then gave the stockholders what was left, which was very small, 15c. on dollars worth of Over land stock.

INDIAN SMITH NEAR TOP.
Topeka Catcher, With Manhattan Is
Hitting $40.


Manhattan, Kan, June s.
Including yesterdays game at juno
ton, the averages below will give the
fans some idea why the Giants are
steadily winning games. Five of the
big fellows are above the coveted
mark. The first twelve players rep
resent the present Manhattan lineup.
Mcdonald, the new pitcher, has only
started one game which the rain stop
pend in the first inning.
Murie, our star first sacker whose
f1elding average is away above any
other first baseman in the league is
leading the team with an average of
.349. Big Deal is a close second with
SAT. He is also the leading run-get-
ter, having registered % times in rs
games. Most of the big fellows hits
have been for extra bases. Smith, that
sturdy Indian catcher, has been stead
lily fattening his Individual average
and is close enough to the leader to
forge to the front any time. Sewers
has been parkin' 'em regularly. Before
yesterdays game. the tow-headed
one was batting 1913. Alton also drop
ped IL points in yesterdays game hav-
ing come down from .317 to 800. Bill

form for few days. But even Hans

third baseman, climbed considerable

and double off Mr.. Cox
