The Telephone the Forerunner I
Civilization.

Senator Clarke, of Wyoming, re-
Gently made I,4oo-mile trip over his
state in a wagon. He was away from
the railroad and a great deal of the
time was miles from the nearest tele-
graph. There was never an evening
on the whole journey that he did not
call up his home at Evanston by tele-
phone.
Speaking of his personal experience
with the progress of the telephone in
a new country, due in a large meas
ure to the pioneer work of the tcle-
phone companies, the senator said:
at shows that this western coun-
try is growing at an astonishing rate.
forerunner of civilization, but now it
Is the telephone. Everywhere in my
state telephone lines run and in most
of the branch houses one Gan step in
and call any part of the state. as also
Utah. The best there II can always
be found in this western empire OF
ours and there is no convenience that
we do not have the moment it comes
upon the market. The east, of course,
is up-to-date and its people brag of
what they have, but this wild west.
where We live Is always at the 'front.'"
There are many other interesting
examples of this importance Of the
telephone in the west. In the pioneer
days the greatest drawbacks settlers
in the new country had to face were
the tremendous distances. First came
the railroads to reduce this handicap,
then telegraph lines. which possible
quick communication among the most
network of telephone lines the sena-
90 fouod a. eo1veo;eot II, HE trim
around Wyoming. .
Because il Is actually means OF
instant communication, because every
body can use Il and because Il reaches
the places inaccessible to railroad or
telegraph lines, the telephone will
readily be classed As the most import
ant of the three. II has played part
in building up the new sections OF the
c country second to that Of no other
agency. 1t Is difficult to imagine what
the ranch sections of the west would
be without this telephone system to-
day. The help1essness Of any farm
or town whose service Is seriously
crippled by storm or FIRE gives one an
idea Of the dependence Of the entire
country upon its connections by wire.
And this is most especially true in
the west. A group of western cities,

kane. Los Angeles, Portland and
Omaha stands supreme in telephone
development. That is. more tele-
phones in proportion to the popula-
ton are found in these centers than
any of the big capitals of the east. In
the matter Of farm and ranch telc-
phones the west is making greater
strides.
Along the Pacific coast and in the
northwest the telephone has been
used with great success to fight the
spread of forest fires. The govern
ment's telephone lines in the national
forests have opened up tracts of land
that have never before seen a settler.
In Utah and Colorado the fruit grow
ers use their telephone service to
ward off the ravages of frost. Its
usefulness to all the western states
has often been demonstrated.

SOME BASEBALL TALK

1t may be a benefit TO the team,
but in the opinion of the writer. Jack
Lawlor is throwing away valuable
time this afternoon playing a game of
baseball with the Bijou actors. With
the opening OF the season tomorrow
and the team not in the best of condi-
ton, it seems that 1t would be far
better to work out the blemishes in a
hard. fast practice than to go against
a team that is not strong enough to
even give a college team practice.
The afternoon on which the Colts
played the Ward & Vokes people last
week was absolutely thrown away so
far as good to the men went. In fact
that afternoon was calculated TO do
real harm. Not man on the Rich
mond team Got half chance to work
during the whole game, and 1t was
spent loaflng about the bags.
If the Colts were put through even
one good days work of sprintinE II
would do them more good than a
week practicing with the Thespians
Sprinting is what the Colts need more
than anything on earth, and it is one
OF the many things that they do not
know. Landgraff, when he gets on
the bags, makes the only showing to-

Washington, April l9.---The bill cree

The bill is designed to conserve navi-

and declares that the almost unani-

demands favorable action, and that It
is the first step in the direction of the
great movement for the conservation
of national resources.
"It is the most practical and inme-
diately necessary OF the proposed
conservation measures" says the ma
jority. Involving the smallest initial
expenditure, the least probable future

The minority report, signed by
Chairman Scott and six other mem
bers, declares that Congress has little
warrant for entering upon policy
(which must, IL followed to the extent
advocated by Wits proponents. involve
the expenditure of vast sums of money
and entail permanent heavy cost
upon the treasury" The minority con-
tends that the deforestation of refor-

Every section of the state was rep

Resolutions were adopted. based on
a preamble. that since large ma
Jortty of the manufacturers were
running at loss, the production OF
cotton goods being beyond the CON
sumptive possibilities of the country
at the present cost of raw material
the only remedy and hope for the
hetterment OF conditions is a more
drastic curtailment than Is now in
force. as follows:
To curtail the normal output OF
yarns and cloths of each mill between
May and September | at least one
third, and not to engage in night work
during this period; that night work
should be permanently eliminated from
all mills, that commission merchants
and sales agents cooperate with

In discouraging the sale of any goods
