PHONE BUSINESS
IN NORTH FORK DISTRICT

The Hotchkiss and Crawford off
ices of the Mountain States telephone
company have been discontinued
within the past week and the business
will hereafter be transacted from the
companys headquarters at Paonia
This same plan was in operation some
years ago and for time the growth
OF the business in those outlying dis
tricts was considered sufficient to
warrant the maintenance of separate
exchanges. 1t is understood that the
recent change is in the nature of an
economy without in any manner i'm
pairing the service in any quarter.
Manager Cadwallader stated in con-
nection with the matter that no in
crease will be made in the force at
Paonia for the present, although Il
little later it will probably mean the
employment of an additional day op-
erator-Paonian.

Railroad BED Tape.

There is a man, a shrewd and veter-
an station agent up in New England
who will smile if any one suggests
that progressive ideas are always wei
coined at headquarters. And If you
question his pessimism he will tell
you of an incident that happened TO
himself and at his own station. Call
that station Middleford. 1t is on
sideline of a fairly big road, but 1t Is
in a town that has had pretty good
spirit for almost two centuries and
half. Some of that spirit in the youn-
ger generation of the place let an icy
SNOWFALL go adrift and smash through
one of the windows of the waiting
room of the old depot. That waiting
room in winter is none too warm d
place, SO the agent acted promptly.
He wrote to his division superinten-
dent down at Rockville after this
fashion:
'If you will give me authority | Will
have the window fixed tomorrow or
the next day. The pane was 22x36.
which is a stock size. | can get it up
town and put it in myself between
trains. 1t is pretty cold in our wait
ing room Just now and | am getting
lots OF complaints"
The superintendent did not give him
authority-he could not. His own path
was as definitely marked as the
I'D anEnnW1adR-
ed the letter. and passed 1t on with
formal letter to his general superin-
tendent From him 1t went to the

ed the engineer in charge of bridges
and buildings. week had passed 1T
was cold in the waiting room, but the
engineer of b. and b. took his time
and passed the letter through a dep
uty to a MAJ who with a pocket-rule
made trip to the agents town and
measured the window.
But even then the job was not fin
ished. The agent of the b. and b. de-
partment might have bought the win
dow-pane In the village and then put
it in, himself, but he could not. The
magnificent business engine, of which
he was but small cog, did not return
to headquarters, add to the archives a
requisition upon the general supply de-
partment for a 22x36 piece of glass.
and spend another whole day return
ing with the window-glass and in
serting 1t in conformity with the roads
established standards.
When the agent at Middleford recov-
cred from his near attack of pneu-
monia-for the season of the broken
window in the waiting room was par
ticularly sharp even for a latitude
which is not exactly tropical in Febru-
ary-he made up little memoran-
