one Advantage of Long Distance Teie-
phone roles Along Country Roads.
"The long distance telephone is
likely to prove an advantage in
manner never anticipated by the pro-
iectors," said Leonard f. Farmer of
Hartford, Conn. For years the prob
lem Of how to locate isolated houses
on country roads has defied solution,
but the long distance telephone peo-
pie have solved il by adopting the
plan of numbering every pole along
the wayside. l received a letter the
other day from friend asking me to
visit him, and, instead of the usual
elaborate directions about stone
fronts. peculiarly shaped lots, and
variously constructed fences, he
told me when | left the depot
to proceed down the main road
west until came to number
two thousand and something
on the telephone poles. and then 70
turn TO the right about 200 yards. The
following day had an opportunity of
testing his directions and found them
simple aud accurate. think the pole
numbering is even more explicit than
the street naming in cities, and, in
stead OF having TO ask everyone where
my friend lived, ! found my friend as
easily as If il had been a specified
number on Broadway. of course the
numbering of poles is a mere matter
of convenience for the corporation,
but IL Is also likely TO be = source of
equal convenience to people who live
in rural districts, as long-distance tel
ephones viii soon connect all the
large cities in the union"
