selling orders for large amounts OF
stocks. especially in the leading active
issues at the opening and all through
the first hour. One broker sold $4,000

RURAL TELEPHONES
INCREASING FAST
OVER 5000 PER CENT GAIN IN
ELEVEN STATES IN FIVE
YEARS.

Two thousand three hundred and
fifty per cent. seems rather large
figures to be dealing with, even
when one is considering as broad
a subject as the increase In the
use OF rural telephones. Yet Il Is
a fact that in the five year period
ending Dec. 81, 1907, the number OF
phone stations in the rural dis
tricts of the western states did jump
1850 per cent. In actual figures.
the eleven states which constitute
this group had 1869 country tele-
phones at the end OF the year 1902;
five years later they had 62.77i.
These figures form the most strik-
ing part OF the latest telephone cen
sus. Statistics placed side by side
for comparison always speak an In.
teresting story. One may deduce
some telling facts from the following
table, showing just how many rural
phones each Western state had In
1902 and In 1907
