LOCAL NEN CALLED INTO THE MEETING .\ll:lrl'l(‘?- Given that Attempt to Secure a Franchise in This City Had Not Been Aban- doned. In response to the call recemtly fssued betwean thirty and forty representativi o tion of the state gathered at the Grand hotel yesterday and organized the Western lowa Independent Telephone association, with these officers: H. A, Kinney, Wood bine, president; J. F. Miller, Creston, vice president; Charles G. Cockerill, executive committee, J. F. Glenn, Denison, J. C. Mankfield, Shelby; W. B. Swoeney, Mauning; George E. Atchison, Creston; H, A. Kinney, Woodbine (ex officio). The sessions were held behind closed doors and the representatives of the press were denfed admission, they being informed | that such Information as deemed advisable would be furnished them after the meeting. No secret, however, was made of the purpose of the meeting, | which was to secure a general exchange and terminal factlities for the independent companies doing business in this section of lowa in Council Bluffs, from which con- | nection could be had with Omaha and South Omenha. The meeting here yesterday was one re- wult of the recent meeting in Chicago of | the Interstate Independent Telephone Na- | tional association, and was called by the following representatives of southwestern Towa independent companies: George B. Atkinson, Creston Mutual Telephone com- pany; B. P. Babson, Conway Telephone company; H. W. Cutshall, Shelby Tele- | phone company; J. F. Glenn, Crawford County Telephone company; P. C. Hold- | oogel, Central Telephone company; J. W. Huff, Monona Telephone company; F. R. Musson, Musson Bros, Telephone company, H. A. Kinney and M. A. Reed, secretary Woodbine Telephone company. Blufts Comnection Necessary. While other matters of interest were dis- cussed . the, question of obtaining an put- let into Council Bluffts and obtaining facli- ities for the establishment of a general exchange and terminals for the independ- ent companies in southwestern Iowa was | practically the whole absorbing topic. It | wus shown that the increasing business | of the Iowa independent companies de- manded that they secure connection With the independent company which recently | secured a franchise in South Omaha and | it possible also with Omaha. The repre- | sentatives of the various companies pres- ent denled being in opposition to the Bell Telephone company, but were simply en- gaged in legitimate competition with it. At the request of the meeting Attorney Emmet Tinley and Heory H. Van Brunt, members of the Council Bluffs Independent Telephone company, appeared before the fternoon session and told of their plans to secure a franchise in this city. They stated that while their ordinance had been turned down by the city council last spring, they were still in the fleld and expected to be before the city council again with another proposition for a franchise and that in the event of their company securlng it the question of the independent companies in Iowa obtaining terminal facilities in Council Bluffs would to all intents and purposes be practically solved. Following the statements made by Messrs. Tinley and Van Brunt the con- vention adopted resolutions reciting the benefits such a connection would bring the Council Bluffs merchants. Go to South Omah; Anyhow. Assurances were given that if a franchise could be secured in Council Bluffs by the local independent company that the sev- eral concerns now operating throughout this section of the state would complete within a short time the building of the cop- per metallic toll line which is now extended from Davenport by way of Des Moines to Atlantic, in Cass county, along the line of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail- Connection would be made with South Omaha whether an exchange and terminal facilities could be secured in 1f not the line would pass around Council Bluffs, as it was im- perative that the independent companies, which represented upwards of 10,000 tele- phones, secure connection with South Omaha. Representatives of the South Omaha company assured the meeting that having obtalned its franchise it intended £oing right ahead with the construction and installation of its system. These committees were appointed: Long distance toll lines, M. A. Reed of Wood- bine, J. F. Glenn of Denison, Fred Marquis of Onawa; Council Bluffs terminal, H. W. Cutshall of Shelby, A. F.

The seining he sald ought to be done befere the spawning season, which is in early | spring. He sald he had no fear about the " fabermen falling to discriminate between | the game and other fish, as the work of | seining, as required by law, would have to be done under the personal supervision of & deputy warden, who would be required 0 be on the spot all the time the seining was in progress. Mr. Lincoln, before leav- ing for hom ated he would take the matter under advisement, and that it would be several days before he would declde what ocourse he would pursue in face of the injunction proceedings brought by President Wells of the motor company, but he was of the opinion that the matter would be amicably settled. Regarding “'Constable” Maguire of Ma- rengo, who caused the arrest of B. H. Dunar for seining in Lake Manawa, and who has now flled informations against certaln Omaha sportsmen for hunting in this state without a license, State Warden Lincoln eaid that up to about August 1 last Maguire had been a deputy under him, but that he had been obliged to let him | out, owing to charges which had been brought against the man in Cedar Rapids. Maguire, he said, was now evidently act- ing on his own authority. Maguire, Mr. Lincoln stated, had left Cedar Rapids sud- ! denly after his arrest and had failed to appear when the case against him was called. Approprinte Ladies’ Gift.
