Patrons of the old Nezperce tele-

who formerly were connected with the
Grangeville central, but who, since alb
sorption of the Nezperce lines by the
Pacific States company have been con-

changed to Grangeville central.
A majority of sixteen former stock
holders in the Nezperce line living

old arrangement.
