Farmers Demand That City
Protect Them in Franchise
for the Telephone Company

TOR the past week the city COM
r missioners have been beseiged by
requests from local ranchmen
that when the new franchise for the
Mountain States Telephone company
is granted that it's terms be so word
ed that they are protected from sew
eral alleged injustices.
Among other objections the ranch
men have made Is that they cannot
extend their mutual lines into this
city so long as the exclusive fran
chise is in force but must stop at the
city limits.
They want rate reduction and they
want to cooperate with the city in an
agreement on minimum rates to be
charged.
As a matter of fact the commits
sioners are by no means agreed that
franchise should be granted under
any circustances. 1t is impossible 10
issue a franchise for a time longer
than the life of the present council
and the commissioners are not raw
orable to submitting II to a vote oil
the people.
The general attitude of the council,
it may be fairly said, is to await more
definite information as to what re,
ductions the company can stand and
still make money on Its local busi'
ness. If possible they will vote for
an ordinance limiting the rates the
company can charge but it is under
stood that the city's right to enforce
such a measure is questioned by the
company.
Just now the city Is waiting for
response from the company to the
resolution recently adopted and for
warded to it. calling attention to the
expiration Of the franchise.

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Midsummer
dullness Is present In many, but not
all lines; crop reports continue gener-
ally good to excellent and optimism as
to the future still finds most express
sion in the sections which have gath
cred or expect to gather large crops.
The weeks business, though broken
by a holiday. seems to have been
good in the west and slow to dull in
the south and east.
Export sales of new crop wheat
have been large, but of late sellers
have shown an indisposition to bind
themselves to early shipment. This is
thought to be based partly on doubts
as to ability to deliver, although the
railroads have started their car shops
on full time to make ready for the
winter wheat movement"
Dun's Review says: "Irregularity
still characterizes the business itua-
ton. Favorable reports predominant
and general conditions afford encour.
agement, although the volume Of new
business is Of moderate proportions.
Indications of improvement are noted
in iron and steel. The betterment Is
accompanied by some strengthening
Of price and few manufacturers are
disposed to book contracts at present

mand by curtailing the output and
