WEBSTER TAvORS
 PUBLIC REGULATION

"l believe in the government regu- lation of public utilities. including lel- ephone systems, said Ed. Webster owner and general manager of the Juneau-Douglas Telephone company yesterday "It has been my purpose to meet all demands of the muni. cipal governments, and to be laE and Just and accommodating to the gener- al public" he continued.
 MT. Webster admits that the com munity has grown faster than his system has. and for two years or more it has been inadequate to meet the de- mands. The operators. he said have had to work harder than they should
 ITO meet the increased demands of the business" said Mr. Webster. CT have invested $10,000 this year in new equipment and its Installation The new system was selected after careful study of all the various telephone systems that are manuiactured,a and experts assure me that l could not have @ better one than that which win be installed within very short time here. We are crowding the work on it as fast as possible.
 There win always be complaints about the service. There always are where one has to deal With the public Sometimes these complaints are based on right, and often they are not. How ever l want the people always to call my attention to any and every failure on the part of operators or others in the company to treat them right, and ! will see that all just demands are compiled with.
 Not As Profitable as People Think
 People have got 1t into their heads that am making all kinds of money In the telephone business at Juneau. The fact is that have aeyer made more than a living at that and the pnedriver business. In which ! have been engaged have not been able to make trip out to the States In ten years. All the profits of the tel ephone business and piledriver busi- ness have been put back into the im- proyement of the telephone system. and have had to borrow money for that purpose in order to keep abreast with a growing community"
 Complaints Numerous
 The complaints that have reached The Empire from various sources con. cerning the telephone service have been numerous. Many people complain of impertinence from the operators, and direct refusal to make connec- tons and to be accommodating. On the other hand. many telephone users are well satisfied with the service that they get and say that they have al- ways received courteous treatment.
 The Empire editorial and business offices have always got courteous and satisfactory service from the com pany.

THE LOST UMBRELLA

Little things can be very trying at times, Mr. Fowler thought. when one wet morning he could not find his um. brella. Like many married men, he believed in the maxim. When in trouble blame your wife"
 CT say. Ellen" he shouted. what on earth has happened to my umbrel- Ia? l brought it home last night and now 1t is gone; and. of course, it's raining furiously."
 "Why, it is scarcely raining at all." said his wife. "But last night it was simply pouring when the parson left and SO l lent him your umbrella"
 "What an asinine thing to do! ! shall never see it again now. so ] may as well buy another today"
 How can you be SO wicked. Adol- phusl As f the parson would stoop to stealing your umbrella?'
 "Stoop Co stealing it be hanged. borrowed 1t from him couple Of months agoi'-( Philadelphia Ledger.)
