Treasurer of the Province Of
Neuva Vizcaya. My salary has
been increased to fifteen hun
dred dollars year.
There is an American Governor
in this province and in the town
of Bayombong there are about
twenty Americans, so it is a
nicer place to live in than where

about a week or ten days to go
to Manila, but we don't go there
more than once a year.
There are only six towns in the
province that are organized, and
where any taxes are collected,
altho there are many towns of
uncivilized tribes where there is
no town government but these
are being organized all of the
time.
l have to act as register of
deeds and justice of the peace,
but there is not much to do along
these lines, as there are native
justices of the peace who do
most of the work.
The governor, secretary-treas-
urer, and the division superin-
tendent, are the provincial board
who make the laws for the prov
ince but they must be approved
by the commission.

evident that there are not going to be

Danville. This is not because of any
falling off in population as is shown
by the avidity with which houses that
happen to be vacant in any season are
rented and occupied The fact re-
mains, however, that there are a few
more business buildings in Danville

GRUWTH OF RURAL
PHONE LINES

When competition began, in 1894,
says Success, there was literally not
farm house in the country that was
connected with a telephone exchange :;
and, perhaps, it is no eXaggeration to
say that there was not a farm house
that had a telephone The Bell com
pany declined absolutely to construct
or establish farmers exchanges or to
build farmers lines The best that a
farmer who desired connection with
the nearest town could do was to rent
two instruments at 500 a year and
build and maintain his own line.
When farmer wanted the telephone
people to build a line out to his place,
he was compelled to guarantee tolls
amounting to at least $500 a year Ma
turallv under such conditions, the
farmer was cut off from telephone com
munication, and that meant from the
world, as he understands it today.
Now "a farmer can buy a telephone out
right for from five dollars to sixteen
dollars, according to quality, and he
and his neighbor can build their own
line as low as seventy-fve dollars a
mile
The report of the Indiana Indepen-
dent Telephone Association shows that
on May 9, 1905, there We're, in that
state alone, 80, 600 farmers connected
with the exchanges In Iowa there are
probably twice as many. In Michigan,
wisconsin, Illinois and others of the
Western states, the numbers are in
proportion. Approximately there are
now one million farmers in this coun-
try who have telephones installed.
Quite a number of these are on Bell
lines, for, under the stimulus of COM
petition, the Bell people have been
compelled to secure farmers conneC-
tions in order to hold any business at
all in some of the smaller towns and
cities Very few of these farmers pay
more than twelve dollars a year for
their service the maximum is about
twenty four dollars year. 1t has been
stated that the farmers and ranchmen
are profting to the extent of at least
$50, 600, 600 a year, through the advan-
tages the telephone gives in keeping
them in close touch with the markets
and in saving useless labor and wear
and tear on their ordinary equipment.
But the economic side of the tele-
phone question, important as it is.does
not, by any means, represent every
thing to the farmer. 1t has wrought
for him a social, as we'll as an econ
Omic, revolution
