Construction foreman Mitchell, of the Central Union telephone lines has had a force of about twenty-five men at work on the wert side for the past week putting -up poles.

Several hundred gallons of paint arrived in the city Saturday and now all poles will be painted before being set up. Mitchell says that all the work will

be completed at one time. No part of

the city will be finished first, as all

the new lines are to be run into the

of about 1-335 men will be at work in the city.

But they've skipped another fellow, of whom nothing has been said the fellow who is even or a little way ahead, who pays for what he gets, whose bills are always signed. He's a blamed sight more important than the man who is behind. All the editors and merchants and the whole commercial clan are indebted for existence to this honest fellow man. lie keeps us all in business, and his town Is never dead, and so we take off our hats to the man who is ahead.
