But the transaction is beginning to
cost me something. Bumbo, the law

is true, but it all counts in the end

GLOW about the gillnetters, hus-

"Well, fish are getting scarce on their
side of the river. They are scarce
everywhere, for that matter. But

the state may take up the matter, and

"And Dan Lapham-well, he is a
daring devil. You know he tends a
trap alone. Although he can swim like

sooner or later"
The conversation had lasted until
long after daylight. The husband and
wife were suddenly interrupted by one
of their sons.
"Have you heard the news?" he
asked as he entered hurriedly, and then
without waiting for reply, he added:
lone fishing boat went down near
the sand spit and two fishermen were
lost. Another was seen entering the
breakers at Pacific Rocks. Still anoth-

Telephone Girl, Adleus

Il
| A recent test Cf the automatic tele.
phone switchboard was so successful
that Its advocates now predict anew the
passing Of the telephone girl at "Cen-
trail"
The Citizens Telephone Company Of
Grand Rapids, Mich, one of the largest
and oldest independent telephone COM
panies in the United States, recently
changed the character OF the service
to Its local subscribers from manual to
automatic operation. For more than a
year this company was busy in building
new home for its exchange, improving
the character of its outside construction
and putting everything In readiness for
the installation Of an automatic system.
This work was finished in January
On the day set for the change the girls
operating the manual switchboard, to the
number Of ninety-eight, left their places
andin seven minutes connections lead
ing through the distributing board To
the automatic exchange had been made,
and the automatic service In Grand Rap
ids had been established,
Naturally, there was much curiosity
on the part OF the public to test the new
service, with the result tnat calls began
pouring into the aut9matis switchboard
as soon as ths connections we're male.
At ene time in che afternoon an inspec-
tion OF the second solicitor switches ON
the board showed that 1900 telephones
out OF total Of 5000 we're in use,
This remarkable load wss carried by
the switches iar several hours after tho
connection was made, and in iaes an ex
traoFdinary volume Of business contin
usd 70 Now Into the exchange until 10 or
II o'clock at night. At the close Of the
days business tho oliicials and stock
holders and subscribers who had been
watching tho operation OF tho apparatus
expressed themselves as entirely satis-
fed with the results.
" - SAID that the change from one
switchboard to another OF such capaci-
ty in so short time was never attempt
ed before. In ten minutes after the or
der to cut in had been given, the Citi-
zens' Telephone Company was operating
more automatic telephones than any
other company in tho world.
The New Bedford and Fall River,
Mass, exchanges, the first automatic
switchboards installed in this country,
are operating respectively with i40O and
800 subscribers. An exchange at Day
ton, o., opened recently with 2SOO subs
cribers, and one In Chicago is now ope-
rating with about 5000, while there are
a few smaller exchanges in various parts
Of tho country.
AS far as the subscriber is concerned,
the operation Of this automatic appara-
tus is simple. He indicates on dial
the number he wishes to call, rings a
call bell, takes down his receiver and the
switchboard does the rest. New York
