Telephone Progress in the Northwest.

phone service increases with the extension of the
enterprlse-it increases with the number of tele
phones and miles of wire operated. Each new tele
phone added necessitates a multiple connection on
the switch board, that all other phones may talk
with the new user, and each addition Of SO to 100
new phones calls for an extra operator. At the
same time, each added phone increases the average
service of all the phones in the system by increas
ing the average number of messages transmitted,
and this again decreases the number of phones
which an operator can answer. Cost Of construc
ton, maintenance and operation all increase the
average cost of service to the company, per tele
phone and per message with each and every extern
sion of the telephone plant, at the same time
that they increase the value Of service to the
patron. If the 500 patrons of a 5OO-phone plant
exercise the privilege of talking once with each
other, there 10000 messages transmitted; but
if the 1000 patrons Of 1000 phone plant do like

to say, four times as many messages for the plant

During the past five Years the number of sub

II The heavy increase, therefore, in recent years

increased in proportion to the revenue received.
This accounts for the moderate dividends realized.

One Of the leading fruit jobbers OF Min

estimate for the annual wholesale fruit

is one of the principal fruit and produce

There are several firms which do bust

sion business is handled on the legal
basis prescribed in the Grindeland law,
the houses taking out licenses and giving
bonds for the security of the shippers.
The financial standing and the general
business reputation of the Minneapolis
fruit and produce market is exceptionally
good. The necessity Of square dealing as
an essential to the growth of business,
has led the trade to organize with view.

Features of This Season.
The present year has had It's salts
factory and unsatisfactory features in the
fruit trade. 1t has been unsatisfactory
to the heavy traders in lemons. The
weather has been anything but ideal for
lemon sales. The keeping quality of the
fruit has not been of the best and al
times heavy stocks have been thrown
upon the market figures that meant
no profit if they did not actually mean a
loss. Anticipating the same hot ex-
perience that this country passed through
in the summer of 1901, dealers bought
heavily this season. The hot weather did
not materialize, and some remarkably
cool weather appeared. This told poor
story for lemons. The recent sacrifice
of large stocks in New York which had
to go to the dump is a sample of the
fruit dealers experience in lemons this
season.
On the other hand trade in oranges was
good, representing by far the heaviest
volume for years past. The northwest
