THE "WHY" OF RATES.
A railroad may haul a carload of flour at a
cheaper cost per sack than if only one-tenth as
much were shipped, but it costs us a great deal
more per telephone to operate an exchange of
5,000 subscribers than one of only a thousand.
In an exchange of 5,000 subscribers, every
telephone user is given an opportunity to use his
telephone ten times as much as in an exchange
of a thousand subscribers.
This condition would make the operating
expense and maintenance cost of every telephone
and line in the larger exchange much higher
than in the smaller one.
Then, too, in the larger exchange, tele
phones average farther from the central office,
necessitating more wire per telephone.
Also, as more telephones are added to an
exchange, the uniting of every telephone with
every other one increases the individual cost
enormously.
But the service of the larger exchange is
worth a great deal more.

costs already accrued from the case
which was accepted.
County Attorney McElfresh filed an
opinion at the request of the board,

Base Ball.
Won, three; lost, four That, in
brief tells the story of Columbus' re
cord away from home the past seven
days. The Discoverers turned in Wed
nesday at York, and from the very be
ginning Pitcher Spade proved a big
puzzle to the Prohibitionists, allowing
them five little hits, and those scat
tered so that but one run was made
by the opponents while our brave boys
carried away four of them. Of the
five hits taken by York, two men.
Harms and Payne each got away with
two, while Meixel made connections
for three and Buster Brown and
Weisenberger each found it for two.
Down at Seward, the Kearney Kap
italists failed to behave themselves
during the first game of a double
header and two of their men were put
out of the game and the game itself
forfeited to Seward by a score of nine
to none, although the score board at
that time showed Kearney ahead,
seven to five. In the second panic,
however, they braced up and took the
game by geting a single run in the
second, everybody else who tried fall
ing down before completing the circle.
The next day. our men made such a
good start that they were not able to
keep it up, taking two home runs in
the first inning. But in the fourth
Pitcher Paul allowed five hits, and
this coupled with four costly errors
piled up all at once gave York the
lead, which they kept all to them
selves. Buster Brown was the star
performer of the day, accepting every
one of the eight chances for good
fielding. The errors numbered six in
all on our side, four of these being
charged to one man. The final scoie
was Columbus 3, York seven, and
taking ten hits to the Discoverers six.
By far the best game of the day was
at Hastings, where Fremont took the
short end of a bitterly contested
eleven- inning two-to-one battle. By
the way, while the Fremont Herald is
talking of "the cellar championship
between York aud Hastings, with Co
lumbus and Kearney chasing for the
tail flag." we might suggest that we
do not remember of a Columbus man
ager watching the game from a tree
top, as has been done in Columbus
by another manager.
P. S. Manager Bennett was put
out of the game at Hastings, too. last
Thursday.
Five to seven in favor or York was
the record of Friday's game. When Co
lumbus went out In the fifth inning,
the score was five to one in their
favor, but about that time Kissell
went up in the air and allowed four
hits, which coupled with a sacrifice
by Dye and two errors gave them four
runs, tying the score. Agnew. Meixel
and E. Brown for Columbus and Dye
for York scored home runs.
Saturday afternoon found Colum
bus down in seventh place for fair,
the only team below being York, who
formed such a soft cushion that there
were only three points between the
Discoverers and the ground. The
great battle was fought at Superior!
who seemed to be able to find Wal
worth just when finding him would
come in handy for them. Still our
boys got away with eight hits, but
they were so scattered that only one
run was scored, while the Superiors
trotted in seven.
Sunday's game was so much against
the state law in Superior that it was
transferred to Cortland, Kansas, which
is but a few miles from Superior. It
was there that Graham, the new left
fielder, tore lose anil made two home
runs, winning the game nine to eight.
The intense heat was too much for
Simcox. the Superior catcher, and he
was laid out in the ninth inning. Co
lumbus played an errorless game,
while four errors were chalked up
against their hosts.
On .Monday, down at Superior, Co
lumbus again stepped In and took the
bouquet, twelve to si the big end of
which gained after the seventh in
ning, when the score stood si for
Superior and five for Columbus. Hut
in the eighth, the Discoveiers tool:
a tumble to themselves and realized
that it would never do to fail to take
that series from the team that has
held the undisputed lead of the league
for the past two weeks.
Columbus lost to Hastings jester
day, by a score of three to two. all
because Cook. I tasting's first base
man knocked a home mil in the tenth
inning. Columbus nad a new man.
