Mr.. Patterson, representing the
Mountain States Telephone Com.
pany, was in the city this week ad
Justing some rates pertaining to
the company. One of the changes
is the abolishment of the eight
party line that has been in vogue
ever since the telephone system
was inaugurated here. This will
necessitate such people to take
either the two-party line, or, if
they prefer, an individual line.
The two party line will be as at
present, So a month. The towns or
offices that are in direct contact
with the local office here will have
the same heretofore condition,
namely, Lawson, Dumont, Alice.
Lamartine, Chicago Creek and
Freeland but where it is necessary
for subscribers to do talking
through another switch board. the
rate will be five cents for five
minute talk with Central City and
ten cents for five minutes to
Georgetown, Silver Plume and
Empire, the latter being connected
with the Georgetown central of
flee. In calling these places it will
be necessary to call the number Of
the phone to get the five and ten
cent rate, otherwise if an individ-
ual party is called the toll will be
fifteen cents. This in brief is
about the service that will go into
effect on and after April 1st
Hence the principal ways in which
the service will be affected will be
the abolishing Of the eight party
lines and the free tolls for talking
with those places where it is neces-
sary to have phone connection
through another office or Central.

DR.. Morgan of the State Board
of Health was in the city the first
of the week examining the dump
ground in the east part of the city
He was trying to come at some
solution as to the best way to get
rid of this nuisance. 1t surely is
unsightly for automobllists and
travellers to be confronted by a
lot of refuse Just as they are en-
lering the city. His idea is to
make arrangements with the
farmers around Arvada to have
the manure loaded on fiat cars and
hauled there. The doctor went
to Arvada to interview parties and
will also aim to get freight rates
on car loads. If this is practical
BILE the idea is to have the refuse
loaded on these cars by the haul
ers and to get other parties to pay
the freight, or make arrsnge-
ments to this end in some manner
His idea is to try to make arrang
nents to have the tin cans and
other hard and worthless materials
hauled to the Big Five dump and
dumped with the waste rock so
that they will be covered up. The
doctor is representing the board
from a sanitary standpoint and to
remove an unsightly mass and an
unpleas SAINT odor from the eastern
portal Of the city. City Attorney
J. w. B. Smith is also interested
IN seeing this improvement made
for the credit of the city. Hence
there is no question but that there
will be solution of this disagree
able affair in the near future. The
city made such an improvement on
cleanup and other days that the
removal of this nuisance will be
anothe, bright spot in our his
tory.

The Golden Anniversary of the
organization of the Elks' Order
will be celebrated in Denver in
July. That city has been selected
as the meeting place of the organ
ization and it is great comph-
ment. From a small organization
of ".Jolly Corks' the order has ex-
panded into a very large organiza-
ton whose foundation is benevo-
lence and patriotism. 1t is expect
ed that 100000 members will BE-
present on this great anniversary
occasion. There will be big en-
tertainment given by our local or
der on Monday night, March 30.
The proceeds are to be used for
sending a big float or similar at
traction to take part in the big dis
play in Denver. No. GOT proposes
to make most attractive display
and what benefits the order in this
city will rebound to the credit OF
the town and its resources. Hence
everybody should take just pride
in patronizing the show, for they
will not only be helping a good
cause but they will get their mon
cy's worth at the show. "Let your
light shine before men" by doing
the good act Of buying tickets and
let every man and woman display
the light by doing the same. Get
out of the rut and on the solid
ground of prosperity and boost for
this most commendable enterprise.
