dated May 81, 1904. Extracts from the
same follow:
The American Bell Telephone Co., of which
the American Telephone & Telegraph Co. is
the successor, was organized in 1880 to sue
coed the National Bell Telephone Co. 1t was
incorporated under the laws Of Massachusetts
to conduct q telephone business under two
separate PATENTS the first granted on March
z, l776, and the second, January 30, 1877; each
to Prof. Alexander Graham Bell. These pat
ents expired in 1893 and 1894 respectively. but
the company still owns other valuable patents
The American Telephone & Telegraph Co.
was organized in 1886 under the laws of New
York as subsidiary company OF the American
Bell Telephone Go. to operate the long dis
lance lines. In March, 1900, all the assets of
the Bell Co. were turned over to the long dis
lance company, and two shares of the latter
were issued for one share of the former. The
old company had paid Is per cent dividends,
and the new company therefore continued to
pay IN per cent.
In 1895, after the expiration of the patents,
competition OF independent telephone CON-
panies began. The growth OF the independent
companies has been very rapid, especially in
the Central States. The number of independ-
ent telephone instruments is now larger than
the Bell, and competition is very keen. The
failure of the Erie Telephone Co., and the
Michigan Telephone Co.. both hcensee COM
panies of the Bell system, is ascrbed to this
competition =. 49,

Willmar alone, but also the country
within a radius of great no any miles,
hence the eyes of the whole people are
at present fixed upon the council OF
the city of Willmar. That q COM
peting long distance telephone line
with q toll station in Willmar would
be in line with the best interests OF the
city and country people ia so self.
evident that we should not need to
show how and why. We have learned
from many costly lessons that q
monopoly does not help us, nor
will it do so in this instance. Mr.
Tallman may not be a bad man at all,
but give absolute power to any man
or corporation and you will in a short
time have a hard-hearted party to
deal with. We believe it Is a very
poor policy to give away or sell to
any person or party the right to die.

the council place all Independent tele-
phone lines at the mercy of the Mime.

farmers need the city and believe the
city needs US. W1llmar ought to offer
all possible inducements to all farmer
lines. We ask to be let into Willmar
and we further ask to be treated fair
~ at the Willmar central Office. AS
long as one man or party has mo.
nopoly upon the telephone business in
Willmar there would be No way for
US to obtain redress If we should be
mistreated. We would feel more safe
with one more long distance telephone
line and toll station at Willmar, and
we ask: Let It come.
The city of Willmar will be put to =
test in this matter-a choice between
Mr.. Tallman ct al, and the farming

President E.. Fl. MoultOn and E c..
Kast of the Tri~ State Telephone line
were in the city Monday, being under
the impression that the city council
meeting was to be held on that date
They Interviewed a number of the
business men of the city. Mr.. Moul-
ton said, that while the schedules for
the new line had not been made yet,
he would guarantee rateto the cities
of not more than 40 cents for three
minutes, and it is likely to be less
than that. They usually base the rate
on q charge of one-third cent mile
for three minutes.

As Others See II.

At Willmar the D. N. Tallman tele-
phone company is endeavoring to
keep the new long distance line being
built by the twin city telephone people
from entering Willmar and establish
ing there an Office for long distance
business. The council has not yet
taken action on the matter, but will
make . mistake If they shut out the
new company at the behest OF a COM
petitor already established. No VIII
lage should lend itself to protect
monopoly in public service.-Litch-

jections to this line entering the city,
with as good grace as possible, and
give the new line glad hand OF vel
come. TIE people, both of city and
county, are overwhelmingly in favor
of competition in the long distance
telephone business, and they will have
it sooner or later anyway.
Tallman defied US TO show q single
exchange that would connect with the
new company west of Litchfeld. We
received an unsolicited letter from
Wheaton Monday, in which the cash
Ter OF bank at that place states that
business men of that town are anxious
ly awaiting the arrival of the new
company so they may secure connec.
tions with them to the cities. Among
other things he says in his letter:
"We had the same trouble here with
Mr.. Tallman, and the county commits
sioners ordered them out of the court
house, and several of the business
phones were taken out. We realize
that Mr.. Tal!man's dealings with us
were very unjust" When we wrote
the very moderate opinions regarding
this matter in the first place, for which
We were 80 roundly abused before the
city council, we knew there was wide
spread dissatisfaction and desire for
independent connections, but we could
not imagine that the feeling was as
strong as it is. Did Tallman think
for q moment that he could absolutely
monopolize the telephone business and
prevent independent connections to
be built throughout these western
counties of MINES ota? He must have
had poor opinion OF the people OF
these communities, to think that they
would allow him to dictate who nigh,
put up poles on their streets and who
might not! If he can give the bes,
service, the best connections and meet
fair competition in price, there is nc

reason why he viii not continue to get
the big share of the business and ex-
tend his lines, but he can never hope
to shut out competition. To attempt
to do so in his home city is extreme
folly, with adverse public sentiment
wrought up on the question as it is,
in cities, villages and country
throughout his territory.
We have briefly had our say. There
are a great many things we might
have added, but we will forbear. It
the newspaper which favors giving a
monopoly to Tallman's lines gets the
best OF US in it's issue tomorrow, it
is welcome to its glory. We have
taken our stand for welcoming to our
city all possible means of communica-
ton with surrounding territory, and
we feel that we are in the right. We
yield to none in the matter of 10y atty
to legitimate home institutions, but no
interest should receive special privi-
leges. The future OF our city depends
upon giving fair treatment to all, and
for that principle we are contending.
We believe as public necessity ex-
tending over the city and using the
streets, the local telephone exchange
should be owned by the city and grant
connections to all lines entering the
city on equal terms. This and previ'
Gus attempts to shut off communica-
ton with outside people who cannot
agree with or refuse to pay tribute to
some private individual owning the
public franchise is simply Fastening
the day when municipal ownership will
come in our city.

country is transacted by thirtysix subsidiary
Bell Companies controlled by the parent COM
pany. The amount Of the stock Of the sub
sidiary companies outstanding on June 30,
1908, was &24s 90s 1854, of which the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co. owned SIPS ,6l2, AZ,
or nearly So per cent. The parent company
also holds some OF the bonds OF subsidiary
companies. OF the thirty-six subsidiary COM
papies thirty-fave are in the United States and
one in Canada.
The capitalization of the parent company,
including Bell Telephone bonds outstanding, is
$ls7,os4,ssO.
The growth in business of the Bell Telephone
companies, especially in the last ten years,
has been very rapid. Perhaps no other bust
ness in the country has nude such tremend-
Gus progress in so very short time. In 1884
the number OF instruments outstanding was
325574. In 1908 the number was SITS, 5l7, show
ing ten-fold increase. The greater portion
OF this increase took place In the ten years
since 1893 In that year the number of instru.
ments outstanding was $685. 49l, the increase to
1908 being skiold.
The Bell companies count transmitter and
receiver as two Instruments. The number OF
subscribers is less than one.half the number OF
instruments because many subscribers have
more than one telephone.
1t will be noted that the growth of business
has been greatest since 1895, the year the COM
petition OF independent companies began. In
that year the output OF instruments was
greater than in any previous year, and in SUBJ
sequent years the output increased by leaps
and bounds. In the last Il ve years the annual
output was greater than the entire number OF
instruments outstanding previous to 1886. The
effect OF competition has apparently been
beneficial in that lower rates and better and
more efficient service have tended to extend
the field for the use of the telephone.
That there is much room for still further ex-
panSiOn there Is no question. In the West and
South are the greatest possibilities OF growth,
but even in the East, where the greatest pro-
gress has been made, there is still opportunity
for extending the use OF the telephone by i'm
proving the service and reducing rates. The
possibilities OF growth are apparently limited
only by the population OF the country.
The Company's earnings are derived princi-
pally from three sources: dividends on stocks
of subsidiary companies owned, rental OF in.
struments and earnings OF long distance traf.
| &c. The earnings Of all the Bell companies
are not published in toto, and one or two com
panies make no statements at all. 1t is impos
sble, therefore, to give the gross and net earn
ings OF the entire Bell Telephone system.
The following table shows the income and
expenses OF the parent company for the las,
year ending December 81, 1903:

Interesting Sketch of General Patrick
A. Collins the Hub.

Patrick A. Collins Of Boston, who was
permanent chairman of the convention
which gave Cleveland his second nom
ination, and who took prominent part
in the recent convention at st. Louis,
has had an eventful career, writes a
daily press correspondent. When the
Marquis of Ripon visited the Massa-
chusetts state capital in the spring of
1871 he sat down alongside of a beard
less youngster in the corner of one or
the leather sofas. The august Canadian
governor general entered into CONVEX
sation with the bright-taced younSster,
who smiled quizzically as he replied 10
the condescending oVertures. His lord
ship somehow got the notion that he
was talking to a page and he maze the
impression known in some way.
But I am a SENATOR" the young man
said with a smile.

surprise that half dozen exclamation
points would not express.
II am a senator elected by Boston

"Were you born here in the city,
too?" said the marquis.
No"

SIN the island next to yours, with
a sharp look and a laugh in his eye.
The marquis laughed heartily, too, and
he remembered Patrick A. Collins
name and face, when the two men met
in England a few summers later Col
Inns had warm welcome from the
man who took him for a page in the
state senate. Three years before he
met the marquis, Collins was a fore
man in a big upholstery shop. He was
then a years of age, and had worked
himself up through the usual grades
from an apprentice. He landed in Bos-
ton when only years Old and lived
for time in Ohio. where he got some
schooling, and worked at farming and
coal mining He was II when he re-
turned to Boston and apprenticed him
self to his trade. Ever thrifty, he had
s., 100 in bank when "a years old. That
was the time his friends took to elect
him to the legislature. and he at the
same time matriculated as a law stu
dent at Harvard. He was in the civil
war served in the house two years,
and then, in 1870, was promoted to the
senate, the youngest man who has
Hitherto attained that dignity. With
the adjournment of the senate in 1871
he swung his law Single to the
breezes and kept on making friends
and business from the start. Since then
