The Pacific Telephone & Tele- graph company, one of the Beli system units, filed a request yesterday with the interstate commerce commission at Wash- ington D.C. for authority to take over the Nez Perce Co- operative Telephone company’s properties in Lewis, Nez Perce and Idaho counties. The Nez Perce company con- trols about 1,500 telephones and the Pacific corporation would pay $40,000 in cash and assume its indebtedness. News of the consolidation of the two companies is received very favorable in Cottonwood as no doubt it is in all of the other towns in which two telephone companies have been operating for many years. The consolidation has been talked of for many months. The Nezperce Telephone company will be absorbed by the Bell system and all phones of the Nezperce company will be con- nected with the Bell system. The telephone business here is divid- ed about equally between the two companies and as a result com- pelled business houses to have both phones. John McGee of Craigmont and Perry Mitchell of Nezperce are among the chief stockholders in the Nezperce company. How soon the change will be made is not known at this time ENJOYING THE FAIRS. Quite a number of Cottonwood folks attended the Kamiah fair last week. All were loud in their praise for the splendid agricult- ural exhibits that were on ex- hibition there. A large number also plan on attending the Nez- epree fair which is in progress today and tomorrow. By far the largest crowd, however will no doubt attend Idaho county’s own fair, to be held in Grange. ville next week, commencing Wednesday and lasting for three days.
