to give the best of service bsiNsss
Pacific coast and the cast. Ths
copper wires on these lines E
transposed when erected, so tb,t h
are now used for telegraphinp aud h
phoning simultaneously. In tbe n
system a new additional snbr.<

long section of the cable from

been renewed. The replaced all,

Night Letters q Problsn
Much Of the day bushes
passed into night letters. Noisbly d
one-half Of that to ard from The s1|
Pacific coast. The advantage 10

the least. It necessitates the srane1
sion of fifty words instead Of ten 4
transmission is expensive. In FsbuI
1907, the Postal Telegraph con-
abolished free passes, although il 4
petitor, the Western Union Teen
company, continued to issue them.
Postal Telegraph company has ncl
gretted it's action. The free pass
tenn never did prevail on the oteal,
from the very beginning OF lsrd
telegraphing free telegraph
were given profusely. and at iIus z
recklessly, to friends, patrons, Pc.
who might influence telegraph bua'
public officials, and on q giai
riety of pretenses. until the. ira =
system became menace, a Dulsant,
a disgrace. And this has nov
eliminated as to all telegraph senp
by their being placed under iae =
state commerce law, as amendea
act of congress of June n,
and under the public service io
sion's law of New York STATE, y
act of the Legislature OF Juns - n
