signal lights and the operator then
takes down the connection and the
signal on your line is dark until you
again remove the receiver from the
hook. The principal advantage OF
the lamp signal is that it is at all
times accurate and the supervisors
signals make your conversation pri-
vate, as the operator can immediate
ly tell if the party called responded
and when you are through talking
without listening on the line.
The telephone sets at all of the
the subscribers stations in town
will be changed at later date This
new set is Of much smaller type
as it is not necessary to have bat
teries or hand generators at the local
energy system is desired from the
fact that all power for operating the
phones all over town is created at
central Office. This not only saves
the continual changing of batteries
at the subscribers station but gives
uniform transmission at all times.
The batteries consist of II glass jars
filled with diluted sulphuric acid and
the proper number of positive and
negative elements, enough current is
stored in these cells to carry the ex-
change for three or four days with
out recharging. The necessary arc
rectiier serves to transform 10 volt
alternating current or regular light
ing current) into the "a volt direct
current.
A small volt meter and ammeter
and the necessary controlling de-
vices are mounted on a neat slate
panel nearby.
In the rural districts or the lines
known as the farmer lines" the tel
ephone at the subscribers station
will remain the same. And it will
be necessary to continue to ring
central as usual. However the
new signal at central Office is OF the
latest pattern and great improve
ment over the old drop, known as
the shutter type. 1t is spherical
target that rotates on it's axis. When
in a normal condition this large.
displays a black surface which con.

The new switch board for the
Kennewick Valley Telephone Co. is
now in operation and working nice
ly, the cut-over being completed on
Monday. On account OF having to
rearrange all the cables leading in to
the exchange, it was necessary to
practically abandon the service on
Sunday and Monday while the trans
fer was being made, the service be-
ing restored again Monday night.
A very small percentage of confus-
ion existed, meaning that the men
changing these cables did an excep-
tionally good job. Of course on all

how careful and efficient the men
doing the work may be, but from
the data we gather, we find that
there was considerably less confu-

is generally experienced. Mr.. Brown
and his crew should therefore feel
congratulated on their success.
The new board is so much differ

METHODIST CHURCH.

Next Sunday is our fourth Quarterly :Conferencs occasion. The Presiding Elder, Rev. J. K. Paris. will be with us and we should all exert ourselves to make it a lively, spiritual, and profitable occasion. This can be done only by those who are in- terested to take Christ to their hearts and each one to be there prayerfuliy and on time. Get up and go to the service of al- mighty God as though it is a business of supremest import ance. Go like you want to honor God.
 Last Sunday was an epochal day with us. Miss Davies, of Atlanta. Ga., was with us rep resenting the womsn's depart ment of our General Board of Missions. She spoke in her own easy, modest and spiritual way. She showed us what God is. doing for fallen humanity through the elect women of the earth. Won derful transformations are being wrought and God has supplied us with every element in nature for still greater things. All na- ture is full of elements for use in the kingdom of God, and it is with us to discover and apply those elements. Through elec- tricity by wire and wireless, and the means of travel and com- merce. have made this whole world into one little neighbor- hood. and every person IS neigh bor to every other person.

Considerable activity in building

are being planned, and if all mature,
twill not be long until several
new houses will be built. This
sounds good for our town. for in
the past nine months four houses
have burned to the ground and as
yet none have been rebuilt. Ken
dick is a thriving little city and
there is no reason why she should
60 back. Everyone put their shout
der to the wheel and help build it
up.
