purposes" for colds and bad colds,
the latter requiring the prescription to
be filled several times, and as

the patient was a woman. General

Telephone Property Worth si5,22o.633
The difference between the cost OF
construction of telephone service ia
a mountainous country and in flat
country was brought out by Roderick
Reid, general auditor of the Noun
tain States Telephone and Telegraph
Company, in testifying before the
State Public Utilities Commission. In
its hearing the commission began a
detailed consideration of the physical
valuation of the company's property
in Colorado, which is computed by
the company at S15.22O. 1886 Mr.
Reid showed that the corporation had
computed the cost of each unit of
its property, and went In detail into
the hundreds of units comprised in
the whole. showing that even the
pounds OF wire we're figured out on n
close basis. He contended that one
set OF unit costs for the whole state
would not do, and showed that be-
cause Of the great amount of rock
digging and the high cost of labor
and transportation in the mountain
Gus regions the unit cost of construc-
tion there was higher than on the
plains. Mr. Reid testified that many
thousands of blanks were used In
computing the physical valuation.

Judging from the signs in the case
virtually the entire southern represen-

keeping the literacy test in the immi-
grafton law, and this means that al
most all the southern representatives
will vote favorably on the bill and
later, if the president vet6es it. will
vote in favor of overriding the Veto
There is a very considerable con-
tingent of northern Democrats stand
ing in opposition to the literacy clause.
Some of the Democrats from the mid
die West and the far West, however.
are in favor of it.
In this contest there as represented
a somewhat curious spectacle OF
combination between good many rep
resentatives from New England and

South 1t is not often in legislation
that New England and the southern
states stand shoulder to shoulder on a
measure of high national moment. a
few New Englanders. however, and
these of old American stock, are op-
posed to the literacy test. They stand
on the ground that such test is coun-
ter to the spirit of American institu-
lions and counter to the teachings OF
the early Americans.
1t is generally believed in Washing
ton that Mr.. Wilson again will veto the
immigration bill, provided it is passed
