Proper Construction and Public Respect
For the Wires.

A paper was read before the indie
pendent Telephone Association of the
United States at Buffalo not long ago
~ :. L. Sheerin. Some of his ideas
are calculated to provoke discussion.
and will not command universal as
sent but others are sensible and con.
vincipg. Mr. Sheerin favored plenty
of neat. heavy poles, none OF them
shorter than twenty-five feet. and Mt
least six inches in diameter. Then lie
would allow no grounded lines. but
have complete metallic circuits. The
better the line the better the service
and IL the general appearance was re-
spectacle he thought il would com
mand better treatment from small
boys The telephone, Mr.. Sheerin in
siSts. has n perfect right on the high
way. since it is built for communica-
ton between residents of n town, OK
0ctly rs a road is.
Strong ground was taken in regard
to trees. The speaker said: "As it
was necessary TO trim away the orig
inal forests to make the roads so
would trim away the trees along the
side Of the road which belongs to the
telephone. Trees along highways.
near houses. can just as well be set
back twenty-five or thirty feet. They
have no business on the highway or
overlapping the highway, when they
interfere with the uses OF the high
way"
Whatever be thought of this and
other opinions expressed by Mr.. Sheer.
in. few will dissent from the follow
ing doctrine. The telephone-which.
after all has only had it's development
in the last six or seven years-is a
greater boon to farmers than to any
other class OF people. The great draw.
backs of country life are its isolation.
its meagre opportunities for social in
tercoursC. and its still fewer oppor.
tunitics for protection. When we add
10 these the disadvantages of being
out of touch with the market and out
of reach of the great news pulse of the
country, the sum of the country life's
shortcomings is complete The tele.
phone changes all this. 1t comes as a
benefactor. exceeding all others in its
possibilities and usefulness. No man
can fully estimate it's benefit to the
farmer. 1t brings his ear close to the
market tickers of the world; brings
the weather report to his door in time
to protect his crops and cattle, and
travels what would be to him and his
horse weary miles in the ordinary
transaction Of his every day business"
