Last night the private car, Electric" belong
ing to the Western Union Telegraph Company,

tour of inspection. The members are Colonel
r. C. Clowry, of Chicago, vice president and
general superintendent; Frank Jaynes, superin-
tendent at san Francisco; i. MeMiehal, super
intendent at Minneapolis; o. c. Greene of st.
Paul, superintendent of telegraphs for the

cago, superintendent OF construction; c. H.
Summers of Chicago, electrician; 7. T. Eckert,
IT., of New York; +. J. Scherrer, secretary TO the
vice president and general superintendent
Colonel Clowry said last night to PosT-IN-
TELLIGESCER reporter: "We are on a tour OF
inspection, and shall be in the city here for
day or two. such trip is not made annually.
but we get around here about once every two
years. The condition of everything in this part
OF the country is in every way satisfactory, and
we find the lines in excellent condition.
''We are extending our service very constantly
in the Northwest, by following up the railroads
which are under construction in every direc-
ton. We shall continue this policy in the
future until we get the state covered.
"one OF our present plans ID to build from
Port Townsend to Olympia We are not likely
to go into British Columbia, for the great
Northwestern, company which is friendly, is
building there. We have never operated in
Canada, but we leave that to Canadian COM
panies."
In speaking of Postmaster General Wana-
makers scheme for government Geographic
service, Colonel Clowry said: "Dr. Norwin Green
has already expressed my opinion pretty
forcibly. believe that the public will be more
efficiently served with the wires in the control
of private company. With government tele-
graph all competition viii be done with, and
the service in consequence will be poorer and
the prices higher
"Then too / do not believe that the govern
ment should go into the telegraph business any
more than into the boot and shoe business. The
enterprise can be and is efficiently managed by
private capital, that there is no call for gov
eminent interference"
