Members of the council and citizens generally believe that one or two ways of paving may still be open. This ivlll come up later. Norfolk's "certificates of indebted ness" wore called into question by ono of the attorneys last night In the ef fort to block paving. The result may lie a "ban" on the certificates in the future. Every administration In past yours has Issued the certificates to carry on the city's business when tax collections had failed to bring in the required fund. It Is quiet possible ilvat nil lines of city work may be cur tailed for some tlmo to come. Other Paving Plans. Other paving plans were discussed following the break-down of the action started on the basis of the ordinance passed In the Friday administration. "Wo have been In good faith , " de clared Mayor Sturgeon just before the council adjourned.

" ; Craven Would Pave Third. ! With possibly one exception every councilman present seemed to favor ' paving.

"Say , Dolan , can't you got a com pany down there that will stand pat ? " demanded a councilman. "Stand Pat ? " interjected another city father.

Yesterday this newspaper took the story of the opening date into the reservation country Just twenty-four hours ahead of any other paper. From now on people will rush Into the now country to bo on hand for the opening. Many will set up this sort of business or that for the rush per iod. And money will bo made from the throngs of thousands. It was estimated that $30,000 was spent In Norfolk by the Bonosteel rush crowds. Carnival vs. Picnic.

NORFOLK PHONE MAN TALKS. W. J. Stadelman Favors Measured Service In Telephone Business. Sioux City Journal : The reforms are bound to come In the conduct of the telephone business was the decla ration of W. J. Stadelman of Norfolk , Neb. , manager of the Norfolk Long Distance Telephone company , who was in Sioux City on business with the Interstate Supply company. Mr. Stadelman declared that within five years patrons of telephone lines would be paying for the actual serv ice they get rather than a monthly rental. The man who uses his tele phone twenty times a day will pay more than a man who uses his tele phone only two or three times. Then perhaps people will not bo so free In inviting their neighbors to use their telephones. "A man who rides ten miles on a railroad train does not have to pay as much as does a man who rides 100 miles , " said Mr. Stadelman. "There fore , why should a man who uses his telephone but little pay as much as the man who keeps the wires hot ? The nickcl-ln-the-slot telephones In the large cities are merely the fore runners of similar devices In the smaller cities. " Mr. Stadelman said Improvements arc being made constantly In the auto matic telephone services ; that hardly any two systems , with the exception of those In Omaha and Norfolk , were alike. With the Installation of each system something now Is added. Since the Sioux City system was Installed push buttons have been abolished on many systems. As soon as a connec tion Is established by turning the dial the bell on the other end begins to ring and continues to ring at intervals until the "party" on the other end takes down the receiver.
