ing near here have constructed with
minimum of expense two.party
telephone line with satisfactory re.
suits because they objected to the
rates of a local telephone company.
Strung along the fence and over
forest saplings, the line runs
through a mile and half of pastures
and woods to connect the farms of
M. Aaseth and n. Almberg.
The Aaseth Almberg line begins
ut the formers home with n short
length of wire connecting with the
barbed wire fence, along which it
runs for 40 yards. The wire leads
under road through a culvert and
then overhead by means of the sap.
lings to the Fred Stocker farm.
where connection is made again
with a barbed wire fence leading to
the Almberg farm house. Old bot
ties are used as insulators.
The system is practical with two
