active annoyance when the second
system came, because people who
had been able to remember numbers
correctly before, were constantly
making mistakes and taking up the
time of other people for nothing, as
well as wasting the time of the OPP
orators and increasing telephone op-
Grating expenses.
The things that have been said
about the poorer service and higher
cost for two telephone systems apply
to a second newspaper and to the
third newspaper in Pocateflo. Peo-
pie who give news to reporters day
after day grow tired of it,. but in Po-
catello the person who has news
story and gives it to one reporter,
feels that he owes the same courtesy
to the next one that comes along, but
if it is lengthy he usually cuts it
rather short for the second reporter.
By the time the third one arrives
and asks about it, he is apt to feel
that he does not know any news, and
tells little or none of the story he
gave the first one. 1t gradually de-
velops that all the reporters have a
harder time to get the news from the
aublic at all, for people hesitate to
start in giving out news, knowing

may not subscribe for many Of their
excellent papers. American Falls,
Aberdeen, Firth, Shelley, Idaho
Falls, Rexburg, Minidoka, all of
these places are full Of the printed
page from somewhere and are not
craving for more.
If an advertiser wants to reach the
public thru P0catello newspaper he
cannot do it now at any reasonable
cost. If he has his advertisement in
serted in one paper it reaches only
part of the population, yet service
in any one paper costs enough to
have reached all the public. If he
puts in two papers he has doubled
the expense of his announcement,
and if he puts it in all three papers
he has trebled the expense. In most
cases there is limit to what per-
son can afford to pay for delivering
a message to a community, and now
that Pocatello has SO many papers
it has poorer service than 1t had
before for the same cost. There was
a time when POcatello had two tele-
phone systems, and they had thoro
demonstrate Of how great loss
and damage it was to the town. 1t
doubled the expense and greatly in
creased the annoyance. Some people
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-01-23

were on one system and some on an
other and some on both, and when
a phone rang it was not always plain
which one rang. BY the time the
person picked up one phone and
found it must have been the other
phone, he had to hurry to get on 1t
before the party left the phone. If
the person who put in the call did
not receive prompt response to his
call, he always had to wait a little
longer on the chance that the party
being called was answering another
phone in the house. If a person
looked in the directory and did not
find the name. he wanted, he then
had the trouble of changing books
and looking thru another directory.
A telephone subscriber always re-
members the numbers of few other
subscribers that the has occasion
to call often, and when the second
system was put in, that confused
matters and made it doubly hard to
keep track of numbers. 1t also had
the effect of adding to or doubling
the number of wrong calls based on
wrong numbers. People who had
been accustomed to having wrong
call occasionally when there
was one system, found they had an

The nomination of Mr.. Bressette
