 Nome, Alaska December 30, 1857

chickens in every pOt"-its good political slogan, but how about TWO TELEPHONE companies in every home and place of business? I am a newcomer here (We like the town and the climate and love the people. The Lord willing, we hope and plan to make this our home) but have lived where you had to have two telephones. It is no good: very expensive and very inconvenient. Almost as bad as not having any.
 A recent advertisement in your paper asks us to Hook into this matter" I have done so a little and here are some of the findings:
 1. Someone has an axe to grind. And usually John Q. Public gets it in the neck.
 2. If Nome truly wants dial tele- phone service, your present Alas ka Telephone and Telegraph Co. will provide it-IF YOU are will ing to pay the cost and will ask the Town Council to permit raise in the rates.
 g. The A. T. & T. Co. recently asked the Town Council for a raise in rates (the first in 10 years) in order to improve tele- phone equipment and service and to meet rising operating costs But it seems that some members of the Nome City Council are stock holders in the new company and apparently were able to hold the raise to token 59o. While at the same time petitioned the council for franchise for their own com pany to provide more expensive service. Seems like clue to the owners of the axe. The US. Dept. of Labor shows that in the last 10 years most all costs and services have risen at least 5O% and most of them 2OO% to 3OO%o. And many much more.
 4. Dial telephone service, con- trary to general thinking, costs a great deal more than manual be- cause of the added equipment. In Nome there would be no saving in operators salary as the bare min imum for dial or manual are now employed. In fact, more mainte- nance help would be required.
 5. The new company has not filed nor given any indication of the rates they would use. Would the council favor one company over another in giving a higher rate and enter into discrimination at the taxpayers expense? think not. In fact l. find that the council would probably have granted the needed and reasonable rate in crease to the present company if 1t had not had been for the axe grinders. And so John Q. gets it coming and going.
 $. How would Nome look with another set of poles, wires, cables, etc, honey -combing it's streets? Contrary to rumor, underground cables are not yet feasible for general telephone service in Nome unless the public is willing to pay the prohibitive cost for installa- ton and maintenance. The per mafrost is still with us, I under stand.
 Fina--y, don't buy a pig in al poke. DO INVESTIGATE. Ask your present Alaska Tel. & Tel. Co. about it's plans for improve ment in service and how it can be accomplished. If you have com

Instead he ducked in dummy
to slow down the spade leads
until he could get a few things

Mr.. Meek won with the jack

It was a temptation to duck
again and let this run around
to the queen. That was the
safe play to make sure of two
shoppers in the club suit.
But Mr.. Dale made the
right play again. He played
second hand high-up with
the ace. He was not yet ready
to permit another spade lead

Now Mr.. Dale could see day

spade trick, four hearts, three
diamonds and a club. He tried
for an extra trick by flnessing
dummy's queen when Mr..
Champion returned another
spade. That lost to the king,
but the king of clubs was the
only other trick the defenders
could take.
Mr.. Dale had to time this
hand just as he did in order
to make his contract. In effect
he refused two illnesses on the
first two tricks so that his
diamonds would be set up
before the enemy's spades.

One such word is "enthuse."
