WIRE FENCE TELEPHONE.
Indiana Invsntor Counscts cities at Small
Exponse.

Indiasa Inventor Connscts Cities at Small
Expense.
A telephone system has been opened
at Anderson. Indiana. that Is one of
the most unique and interesting things
Of the kind in the country. 1t Is n
long distance line. and the wire is the
upoer strand of barbed wire fences,
reaching from Anderson to ingalls,, Il
distance Of twelve miles. 1t In the idea
OF an eccentric inventor OF Pcndle,On,
Cassius Alley, and he has already be-
gun to reap his little harvest There
are two lOng-distnnce lines Of the big
companies between the two points, but
Alley. with his barbed-wire affair, has
entered the list and proposes to get
business by giving cheaper rates.
The Big -Four has barbetl-wire fence
most Of the distance along It's right Of
way from Anderson to Ingalls,. Alley has
taken the upper strand Of wire for his
unique telephone. Three mAes from
Anderson the line leaves the railway
line and cuts along farm fences. Where
= road 10 crossed an overhead or under.
ground wire il strung. Crossing streams
there are overhead connections. The
boxes are such as are used by the big
telephone companies.
There are two charter subscribers. A
nrm has an Office here and factory at
ingalls,, and has them connected. An.
other firm has store ut Anderson and
one at Pendleton and has them CON
nected. The lines work splendi,lly. Al
ley gets $50 year from each firm.
Other places will be connected. md In
short time all six wires on the fences
Will be In service. 1t IL then the inten-
tion to connect line from Pendle,on
TO Greenfield. and II Alley can do 1t he
Will soon have In service every wire
fence In the county. He looks forward
to big business In the way OF rural
telephone service.
In some places the barbed wire has
been insulated with coating of rub
her paint. Most places. however. small
boys will have to keep or or get n
shock every time the bell rings. Hunt
ers, too. will have to look out. The ser
vice Is practical and first-class in every
respect.

Mr.. Woodruff was of the opinion that
