folk 1t is in doing right-of-way work that
the professional men with political apti-
tudes are employed. They are generated
by a man who has had much previous
right-of-way experience in various parts of
the country, but the local characters, pos
sessed of "pulP' with councilmen, town
boards and other home authorities, are
necessarily taken on, from one end of the
route to the other Besides franchises, they
also secure permission for the placing of
the poles from the farmers and other prop
erty owners in front of whose premises
the line is to pass. This must be very care
fully and thoroughly done. hence lawyers
are employed, mostly, and well paid for
their services The title of every piece Of
property involved must be looked up and
when there Is mortgage the mortgages
consent, as well as the owners, must be
obtained otherwise, in case of foreclosure
and sale, the new owner might cut down
the poles, thus crippling the line seriously
and still be within the law.
Naturally. the right-of-way men operate
in harmony with the surveying party. The
surveyors are as important In laying out a
telephone line as IN laying out railroad.
AS fast as franchises and permits are got
the poles are located and their height de-
termined. There is variation in height only
when the country IL broken: then poles of
extra length are employed to overcome the

Last Work OF All.
Entering towns, building and organizing
exchanges and connecting the same with
the trunk lines are the final operations,
though generally carried on simultaneously
with the wire stringing. Formerly towns
were entered on poles, but the time Is I'M
doubtedly coming when burial of wires
will be insisted upon in all municipalities,
and, therefore. the long-distance telephone
now passes 1.-The limits invariably I'M
derground. This necessitates the employ
ment of subway builders and cable layers
instead of groundmen. erectors and wire
men, and of tile, wooden or metal conduits
in place of poles. The erection of exchange
buildings, the laying out and installment
of switchboards. the putting in of batter
les and dynamos, the establishment of
lightning arrestors, the threading of the
subways-a1l these operations call upon as
many different sets of men as are employed
in general construction, and all must COM
plete their several tasks before the pretty
girl operators may seat themselves before
the swftchboards and begin their intermt-
nable "helloing' to the talking wires.

away, and repeats the operation. This goes
on at the rate of forty poles to the mile and
two and one-half miles a day 600 poles is

While the latter are being got In place the
wires already strung are carefully stretch
ed by another gang Of men working with
block and fall" This Is done in order that
each wire may be of exactly the same
length as all the others and under the same
strain. Wires exactly equal vibrate in uni
son when the wind blows and never strike
each other-wfres Of varying tension vibrate
variously, often strike together in windy
times and so cause no end Of cOnfusicn

After the stretching comes "transposf-

cutting two wires carried by the same
cross-bar and crossing them at definite in

one side and then on the other side of the

STORY


Written for TT" Evening Star
Including all hands. from pretty girl
Operators to brawny "groundmen." it
takes 10000 persons to keep the telephone
business of the United States moving.
Twenty EIGHT thousand are employed in the
operation and maintenance of the COM
pleted lines; the other $3.50 are hustling
constantly in the stretching of new lines.
There Is much of the humdrum and monot-
onous in the life of the 5000. for their
duties, mostly of routine nature, are gone
through with week after week and year
after year, without much variation of
method or change of scene. Monotony is
an unknown quantity among the 1000;
they are continually on the move, for tel
ephone extension is going on in nearly
every state of the Union, and they encoun-
ter new combinations and novel problems
almost daily.
The laying out and building of line of
speaking wire requires the services of in
dividuals following many different occIpa-
t1GnS-men of profound scientific and tech
meal knowledge, shrewd professional men
with political aptitudes, men trained to a
dozen different trades and common labor
ers-not counting those who draw the wire
for the line or those who make the instru-
ments and the numerous minor essentials
of construction.
1t would not be easy to say along which
line of activity the energies of the tele-
phone men are first exerted in actual con-
structon, but. logically, the man who lays
out the line makes the start, with a grea t
number of county and city maps, covering
the territory to be crossed spread out be-
fore him. When the line is several hun
bred miles in length his examination of
these maps is long and tedious. Both tel
egraph and telephone wires are almost in
yariably strung along either railroads or
highways, that repairing linemen may
reach them readily. Railroads offer the
shorter routes, a rule, but telephone
lines generally follow the highways. be-
cause the telegraph, being earlier on the
ground. had pre-empted most of the rail-
road lines before ever a telephone wire was
strung. 1t is the duty of the man who
lays out the line-his title is engineer of
construction-to determine what roads
shall be followed in order to get the short
est route and Professionally to indicate it's
exact location in vivid red ink lines on the
map of every city and county between ter
minal points
Advance COuriers.
A thousand men are preparing the ma
terials for construction meanwhile, but the
work next in order, logically, is that of
those advance couriers of the telephone,
the "right-of-w way men" Their first task is
the securing of franchises or other legal
permits from all the local authorities to go
ahead These We're often overlooked in the
early days of telephone construction, but

From Tit BitA
There was company for dinner, and the
plate in front of the host contained a fine
sirloin OF beef. He drew the sharp carv-
ing knife across the ringing steel for a few
times, just because that is a way carvers
have drove the fork deep into the steam

Two nice marble-sized slices clear across
the joint had resulted, and he was turning
off the third. when the blade struck a
skewer, made sliding motion, and came
out at the top with a result that the pro-
posed slice looked like a frost-bitten leaf
curled by the sun.
The man could not say intense things in
the presence of his guests. but he froze his
wife with look, made a grim joke about
the indigestibility of roasted hard wood,
dug the skewer out viciously and ordered
little Willie. who had made several at
tempts to tell something. to keep still or
leave the table. His evident temper led to
an embarrassing silence, and Willie saw an
opening that he could not resist.
