Long distance telephone service be-
tween the lower country and the Pay
cite lakes will be established again
soon, A. l.. Freehafer of the public
utilities commission announced Satur-
day. A new switchboard is being in
stalled at Cascade and connections will
be made through it with an exchange
at Roseberry which in turn will ham
die long distance wire into the towns
about the lakes. Until year ago the
telephone lines in the Long Valley
country were owned by single group
of individuals, but few months ago
the mutual company which operated
them dissolved and since then the lines
were divided up among individuals and
groups of individuals, with the result
that it was impossible to get long dis
lance service with any degree of sat
sfaction between Boise and Lardo and
Mccall. Mr. Freehafer and George E.
Erb, both of the utilities commission,
went up into the Long Valley country
early last week.

Everybody in Jacksonville, Fla.

Chas. j. Weeks, who runs the Sea-

Weeks bears the distinction Of be-

Of service with his road, having been
with the company thirty-fve years.
He is man of very temperate habits,
few words and strong convictions. Ac-
cording to his own statement he has
never taken or used tobacco in any
form. He not only has splendid re-
cord for efficiency as railroad man,
but is held in the very highest esteem
by his fellow citizens in Jacksonville.
"I've gained twenty pounds on seven
bottles of Tanlac and feel as we'll and
happy as did when boy,' said Mr..
Weeks to the Tanlac representative
who had called by special invitation
