PHONE SERVICE TO
BANNOCK VALLEY.


The establishment OF telephone COM
munication with Arbon Valley last
week by the M. S. T. & 7. Co., brings
to realization a dream Of many people
of both American Falls and Arbon than
has been hanging fire for several
years, and places the most remote sec
ton within Power County In direct
touch with the world.
The first serious effort to have thfs
line built was started more than two
and "a half years ago, when a NUM-
Der of the most prominent citizens Of
the Arbon section and the American
Falls Board of Trade brought the
question before the Mountain
States peopl, and from that time
until a couple of months ago, when
the work of construction was actually
commenced, there has been no abate-
ment in the determination to get the
line established There were many de-
lays and few obstacles to be over
come, but all these have been forgotten
now that success has been achieved,
and all are rejoicing.
The Pocatello Chronicle prints the
following story which gives an idea
Of how welcome was the advent of the
/ telephone into Bannock Valley:
Residents of the Arbon valley, who
/ tor many years have been without

aud thereby isolated from the rest OF
the world, are jubillant over the com

The line is completed with the inde-
pendent line in Bannock valley. II

his home, he has only to take down
his receiver and get into communica'
