TO IMPROVE SYSTEM,
Northwestern Company Spend
Ing Large Amounts in Wah-
peton and Breckenridge.

months the North western Iele
phone Exchange Company
have had a force of men in
Wahpeton and Breckenridge
rebuilding the entire telephone
system, taking down wires,
changing lines, putting up new
poles, and paving the way for
what is known as the "Central
Energy or Common Battery
Telephone system"
In addition to making all
these changes in the outside
plant, the company has erected
a new building to house their
new switchboard and az head
quarters for the operating and
maintenance departments of
Wahpeton and vicinity.
Prior to October 1st. 1906, the
telephone exchanges at Wah-
peton, Breckenridge, Campbell,
Paramount, Forman, Hankin.
son. Lisbon, Minor, end Wynd-
mere, and the toll lines connect
ing and surrounding these ex.
changes, were the property of
the Great Western Telephone
company. On that date the
property was purchased by the
Northwestern company and
made part of their immense
system.
Immediately after the pur-
chase, the engineers were sent
into all of these points and over
the toll lines to make study
of the plant and plans to bring
the equipment and service up
to the highest standard known
to the telephone art.
Few people appreciate the
enormous displacement and the
numerous changes required in
a telephone plant to keep the
apparatus and lines up-to-date,
so as to furnish the telephone
using public with a satisfac-
tory class of service. The
actual figures. based on long
experience in the telephone
business, give the average de-
probation of an entire tele-
phone system as IL per cent
per year. This means that the
entire plant has to be replaced
every eight years. These figures
are based on plants wearing
out, but do not cover the ex-
traordinary changes required
on account of the invention of
new apparatus and changes in
methods that improve the SUBJ
scribers ser 7ice.
No telephone company does
it's full duty to the people it
serves unless it does keep it's
plant and service up to the
highest standard, and the
Northwestern Telephone Ex-
change Company, Immediately
upon coming into possession of
the property in Wahpeton, be-
gan the improvements that are
now under way.
Copper and copper wire, one
of the commodities most used
in telephone plants, has in
creased in cost over one hun
dred per cent in the past two
years and all other material
used in telephone work has in
creased in almost the same pro-
portion. The cost of labor, too,
is higher now than ever before.
The telephone system that is
now in use in Wahpeton is what
is known as a "Grounded Cir
cult or Single Wire System
The new system will be all me-
tallic circuits, two wires being
used for each telephone, giving
clearer and better service; the
batteries, instead of being
located at each telephone as in
the past, will be located at the
central office. It will be under
the care of an experienced man
who will see that they are al

DULUTH, MISSABE &
NORTHERN RAILROAD

In speaking Of the prominent con-
Germs operating extensively in our city,
| a few words relative to the Duluth,
| Missabe & Northern railroad will be
= Of interest to our readers. From Its
! inception this meritorious enterprise
has had most remarkable success
| due to capable management and the
! enterprise and business foresight of
| its promoters.
It has become a universally recog-
nized fact that among all the inven-
| lions and aids to facilitate the tran
| saction Of business there are none Of
| greater Importance than those per-
| tanning to railroads. In fact, rail-
| roads have become a necessity, with
out which the wheels of commerce
| would be clogged and progress re-
! tarded.
Duluth has grown and prospered
and is today city of prosperity, such
! as no other city in the state has quite
| the fortune to enjoy. This is certain
! ly due to the many public-spirited
| and broadminded enterprises operat-
| ing in our midst. None Of these in
dustries have been more liberal than
| the Duluth, Missabe & Northern rail-
road in promoting the prosperity of
the community. No concern, whether
it be individual or cooperative has
shown more generous attitude to-
ward organized labor than this COM
pany.
| The record Of this company shows
| that industrial supremacy has been at
tanned through fair and honorable
| methods, by at all times striving to
| keep abreast Of modern improvements
and giving patrons the benefit of per-
feet service.
AS a corporation that respects the
rights Of those in it's employ, the Du-
luth, Missabe & Northern railroad
| stands pre- eminent.
We are far from the attainment of
perfection in any given field Of labor,
and still, when we witness the favor
able conditions which obtain in an in
stitution of such magnitude as this
railroad, we have ample reason to con-
! graduate ourselves upon the great
amount of good which has already
! been accomplished in the field Of in
dustry.
The Labor world, in extending its
support and hearty cooperation to the
Duluth, Missabe & Northern railroad
predicts that its business continue tc
prosper and increase SO long as 1t is
conducted on the present liberal and
progressive lines:
The officers Of the road are: w. J.
Olcott, president; E. S. Kempton, treas
urer; E. B. Ryan, Jr., secretary
Joseph B. Cotton, general solicitor; J.
w. Kre1tter. superintendent; Joseph B
Hanson, auditor, general freight anG
passenger agent; John J. Thomas, 10.
cal freight agent.
