Gets Phone
--Unfenced!

G. T. Atkinson. milliner, will
not have to place his public SER
vice telephone in the cellar of his
new store at 1877 broadway.
Also, he will not have to sue
the Sunset Telephone Co. (now
labeled the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph. Co.. to have his phone
put where he wants It for the
convenience of his patrons.
Atkinson, you remember. gave
the company week in which to
do that very thing.)
The phone company has resort
ed to diplomatic negotiations. Ac-
cording to Atkinson, the COM
pany's representative went down
to his office yesterday after
noon and first offered to put in q
nickel-in-the-sIot phone right out
in front OF the store. without q
cent of expense to Atkinson.
II wouldn't take one as =
gift; I'D feel as II were in
suiting my patrons. Atkin-
son told him.
After several ultimatnms had.
been exchanged, compromise
was reached. says Atkinson.
Anyway, q desk phone sits
right out in the open in the rear
of the store today, where the
public can use 1t.
It's not In vault or surround
cd by q fence, but the company
has this concession:

CAN TANNER HALT
THAT RATE FIGHT?

Charles A. Reynolds, until July l chairman
of the state public service commission and
champion of the people of the Northwest i'll
their fight for just tourist rates, has wired The
Times from Los Angeles: T.
Received the following telegram: 'Attor-
ney general rules we cannot pay your expenses
to argue the differential tourist rate case.
(Signed) Blaine, Lewis, Spinning Expected
this Small politics"
This means that Attorney General Tanner,
Public Service Commissioners Blaine Lewis,
and Spinning have stopped as far as it is in
their power to stop, Reynolds from complet
ing his fight against the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn, the winning of which will add thousands,
if not Millions of tourist dollars to the North
west annually
Reynolds was to have argued the case be-
fore the supreme court. At the slime Of his
resignation from the public service commits
sion, he was given to understand that this
state would bear half the expense and Ore
gon the other half of sending him to the ma
tional capital on that mission.
Why cannot the state pay half of Reynolds
expenses to Washington, D. c., that he may
perform service to the people free?

Frequently the commission hires special
counsel at fancy prices to do odd jobs.
Very often the commission pays even more
handsome figures to special engineers and
appraisers.

is his railroad fare.
Oregon is anxious to pay his fare one way.
Yet your turn down his offer.
