prophecy, at the time. was considered by
many to be preposterous, but the result has
been more marvellous than the most optl-
mistic thought 1t possibly could be, and to-
day there are more than 100000 Bell tele-
phones in use in the United States and
Canada
The Nebraska Telephone company, a
branch Of the Bell system. has more than
% 200 telephones now In use in Omaha. The
system here consists Of five exchanges
Douglas, Harvey, Webster, Florence and
Benson, all these being inter-oonnecting so
that a subscriber on any other exchange
can reach any one in Omaha, Council
Bluffs or any Of the suburbs.
Omaha's first telephone directory was put
out July 10. 1sTp This consisted of single
sheet Of paper containing less than forty
names. This directory contained the names
OF omaha's pioneers, some Of them still
in active business life.
Those who are acquainted with the tele-
phone only through the use OF their office
or home instrument little realize the COM
plicated machinery that is required to fur
nish telephone service to a city the size
Of Omaha but TO one who has seen the
maze OF 1000 wires coming into the CEN

message through the various tables in its

OF all the great public service enterprises
that have been OF immense benefit to the
development Of civilization in this country,
as we'll as other countries, no one has been

phone.
A little over forty years ago. when Alex
ander Graham Bell invented this instru-
ment, he, little more than those associated
with him, realized the future Of this in
vention or probably little thought Of its
effect on the development Of the country
The telephone was first exhibited to the
public at the Centennial exposition in 1879
At that time an enthusiastic friend Of the
inventor prophesied that in 1900 there would
