We find the following IN a New

for the new Telephone service to

lucky to get 1t.
The term ''Independent" as ap-

force, as well as merit, with such
success with the people, as the in

we consider that the first exchange

field was open. The telephone
user IS distinctly a gregarious beng.
Soon the smaller exchanges
began to reach out with their toll
lines to post offices and cross roads
in their vicinity, then toward each
other for an interchange of bust
ness, at last to clamor at the doors
of the larger cities. with which
they had business relations, for in
dependent exchanges with the
resulting better and cheaper con-
nectlon with such cities.
The necessity of the independent
telephone to users of the same is
better appreciated when we consld-
or that a countrv like Sweden
supports a telephone for every six
of her inhabitants. with Holland
coming second. Honolulu ranks
with these countries in the exten-
sIve use of the telephone. and the
prominent part given TO it is
noticed by every traveller, and the
part 1t plays in all social work both
af1oat and on shore, for ships are
connected with it for small sum,
placing them in direct communica-
ton with alfparts of the shore.
The telephone IN all these
countries being on the same line as
the independent telephone in this
country. shows very clearly two
things, that there is a willingness
on their part to give such broad
and complete service, and that to
those same companies must the
people look for redress from scant
srrvIce, and exorbitant, almost
prnhibitive rates.
That the assurance of stability
NAV be given bv such companies,
one has only TO look at the reports
to find that their have been fewer
failures of independent telephone
companies in tbs United States,
since they came into existence,
than of National Banks, a showing
which no other business, with such
phenomenal growth, has ever
shown. The term phenomenal is
used advIsedly. It may be stated
that, approximately, at the close of
this year in the United States, the
Bell Telephone Company, after
twenty one years of existence, has
only about two thousand exchanges
operating, aggregating about or
somewhat over five hundred thou
sand telephones, while the ''Indep-
op1opt Tolonhono Eoy,3roaoioctt o1a
operating $500 exchanges success
fully, with an aggregate of over
100000 telephones, and an invest
ment of 100000, 1000.
Thus 1t will be seen that already
the independent Telephone"
takes first place in the field, after
only five years of existence.
