PLEASURE IN HOUSEKEEPING.
Pride in Work Causes ForgetfuIness
of It's WEAKNESS.
From the Wman's Home Companion

From the Wmans Home Companion.
Il is hard for the young housekeeper to
get the true perspective of her house
work. Too often she looks on it merely
as drudgery 10 be despised, or. flying
to the other extreme. as something of 50
much Importance that everything else
must give way before 1t. Neither Of
these ways Of looking az the subject is
right. Homework is worthy profession
certainly. and requires study and sppli
cation If one is 10 be a successful house

house. It means a whole lot of hard
work for her. and too often she feels
that she never, never can learn how

nor arrange her homework that some
thing is not continually being left un-
done that ought to have been done the
very first thing in the morning.
Cooking is rot devoid of disagTeeable
features. No one who has faced the
task Of cleaning a broiler. or washing a
pan where oatmeal or something sticky
has burned. will deny it. And cleaning
up the pots and pans is the inevitable
aftermath of cooking a meal Then,

The Alaska prospector., 1907-02-21

In about ninety days Valdez will have the best system of fire protec- ton of any Alaskan town. A Con tinenlal steam fire engine has been ordered and under the agree ment with the dealers is to be shipped not later than 90 days from date. This is the latest style of engine and with 1t the fire department will be able to control any fire which may start within the fire limits without moving the engine.
 T. G. Quinn made arrangements for purchasing he engine while in the Stales and upon his return the plan was favorably received by the business men of town, so the coun~ cil decided Monday to order it without further delay.
 This engine will be of great as sistance in controlling the glacier stream in case Of any future trouble. With the powerful stream thrown by the steamer a channel can be sluiceu out for the water and dams thrown up with ease, so that it is believed this purchase will cut out the annual expense of building dams hy hand, and will eventually be a great saving to the town.

 It is claimed for the Ruble gravel elevator, an invention for use in placer mining, that it does the work of grizzly, undercurrent and elevator in one combination. t separates the fine gravel from coarse rock while both are forced up the elevator by a stream from a giant. The fine gravel, sand and gold drop through the grated floor and the water returning in an easy flow carries the gravel back to a sluice.

If you hear a new voice answer your
phone calls this morning, you'll know
that the hello girl who formerly an
swered you is mastering the calls on an
other position" and you'll have to make
friends with the new central.
The operators made the change early
this morning, and in doing so completed
a remarkable work that has been accom-
piished by the Bell company here. The
enlarged building is completed and the
main building by the company in the
past five years. AS the building stands
today, II is five stories high, fifty feet
wide and 167 feet deep. The first build
ing erected by the company in 1895 was
thirty feet wide. three stories high and
ninety-three feet long. The structure is
fireproof and as nearly earthquake proof
as a modern building can be made. The
construction of two stories on top of the
building and the addition to the rear was
accomplished with difficulty, as the orig
ina1 building was not built strong enough
TO support the weight of the superstruc-
ture Just completed without being re-
inforced. This was done with the rein
forced concrete columns visible on the
sides of the building.
These immense concrete columns sup
port the entire fifth floor of the building
and with the concrete columns running
horizontally the building binds the whole
into a rigid frame in which the brick
walls set. Reinforced concrete was used
instead OF steel, as the setting up of
steel with the noise incidental thereto
would have seriously impaired the servNSe
of the company during the construction of
the addition. The front of the building
is of excellent design and is constructed
of sandstone. All wire pipes and con-
duits necessary to the central office OF
a great telephone system are concealed
In the walls OF the structure
In the basement of the building are the

The city collections department, the pub
lie station, the pay attendant, the order
clerk. the billing department, the chief
installer, the assignment clerk, the solic-
itors and collectors, the service observing
bureau and the offices of the superintend-
ent of the Salt Lake division are on the
ground floor. The offices of the presi-
dent, general manager, general superin-
tendent, secretary, treasurer. purchasing
department, construction department
general contract and collections depart
ment, railway department. and the direc-
tors room are on the second floor. The
legal department. traffic department en-
ginering department, auditing depart
ment and directory bureau are on the
third floor. The drafting room. operators
quarters and the terminal and electrical
power rooms occupy the fourth floor. The
local and long-distance operating rooms
occupy the fifth floor.
The fifth floor is one great room with
l61 feet by fifty feet clear floor space
The roof is supported by monster con-
crete beams fifteen feet apart and fifty
feet long. These beams rest directly on
the great concrete columns and ore strong
nough to support another story. The
room has no pillars and is divided only
by glass partitions that inclose the ele-
vatOr hall and separate the local. operat-
ing room from the long-distance operat-
ing room.
The local operating room has the local
switchboard, the information table with
six operators the chief operators desk
and the central managers desk. The toll
room, separated from the local operating
room by a glass partition, has the long
distance board. the toll chiefs desk and
the supervisors cabinets.
The New Switchboard.
1t is the new switchboard that will
most interest local subscribers to the Bell
company, for the board t. the most i'm
proved one of its size manufactured to-
day. 1t is 10 feet long and is of the lat
est common battery type and represents
construction. With the toll board and
other apparatus. 1t has kept force of
from thirty to eighty men constantly en-
ployed since April Is. Twenty-Five of
these men are expert electricians brought
to Salt Lake to install the plant. All the
new plant, switchboards, terminal appa-
ratus and machinery was installed for
the telephone company by the Western
Electric company of Chicago, under the
direction of J. J. Campbell, general fore
man for the company in the Rocky noun
tain territory, with J. E. Nichols as
foreman of installation.
The new board has capacity of 1900

constructed so that the hoard may be
The rest of the plant was installed to al
low for this growth, and il is expected
that the additional board will be needed
in four years or less. Similar provision
for growth has been made in the Iong-dis-
lance room
1t requires fifty-six girls to operate the
new board. Back of this great board are
miles of wire in cables, massed in great
layers. The toll board has sixteen posi-

The company furnishes the gas, dishes
coffee, tea, sugar and cream for the OPP
orators free of charge and employs
matron to look after the rooms. The
service is of silver and fine china This
room makes it possible for the operators
to have warm meals at their lunch hour
or at any time when they are not at
work.
The company will soon establish a we'll
equipped school for operators on the fifth
floor. Student operators will here re-
ceive instruction and practice on boards
built for the purpose. Supervisors, spe-
cially trained for the work. Will have
charge of the instruction and the stu
dents will be required to graduate before
they are allowed to work on the regular
board.

Splendid Rest Rooms.

One of the features of the building of
which the company is especially proud
is the provision that has been made for
the operators when they are off duty.
All the eastern portion of the fourth floor
is given to the operators quarters. The
rooms, separated from the rest or the
building by double doors, include locker
room, lunch room, a parlor rest room,
a bathroom and lavatory. The rooms
connect with each other.
The lunch room has a gas range, two
tables. each six by four feet and five
smaller tables. giving seating capacity for

The Suspected
Assassin Skipped.

Deputy Sheriff Tom Kellar and spe-
cial officer W. j. McAninch went out
to Hume the last OF the week to serve
a warrant on Stephen Hall, suspected
OF shooting Editor Lewis W. Moore,
through window in his house, the
first OF last week, but 1t seems he had
"got next" somehow and skipped.
Hall was regarded as a joint keeper
and q desperate man. He had been
arrested and dissrmsd short time
ago OF a 38 caliber revolver. Last
week his sister went to Hume and
purchased cartridges for a 80 caliber
revolver, and that was the size of the
ball which wounded Mr.. Moore. The
Hume Telephone had made unrelent-
Ing warfare upon Hall and his like,
and 1t is claimed Hall made threats
against Moore's life. 1t was a des
perate act. Moore probably owes
his life to the fact shat the assassin
had to stoop down and shoot under
q lowered curtain.
