LA VALE.

An exciting game of baseball took
place between Big Creek and LaValle
last Sunday to decide the supremacy
of the two teams. LaValle won the
score of rs to Z. Although Mr.. Hodge
proved very effective in his pitching
against LaValle week ago, he proved
rather easy last Sunday. He was
batted out OF the box at the fifth
inning and Albert Stants, another
Big Creek pitcher, who is almost
ready for major leagues took up the
burden and was batted out in the
seventh inning. Mr.. Borchers flush
ing LaValle took liking TO the
curves of these pitchers and batted
their shoots, drops and spit balls to all
corners of the lot keeping the out
fielder busy chasing the ball and re-
turning it to the pitcher. Mr. Hansen,
the manager of the Big Creek team,
has confidence that some day his team
will win the banner which will de-
clare them the ametuer champions of
the state of Wisconsin.

IMPROVEMENTS BY
TELEPHONE Comply

The work on the 30,OOOOO estimate
covering the new telephone plant has
been started. The work of remodeling
the wisconsin Telephone Company's
two story brick building is about COM
pleted, and the switchboard has ar
rived and crew of electricians from
the Western Electric company of
Chicago is here to install it.
The board is what is known as the
No 10 type he frame work is of solid
mahogany and the equipment is of
the latest type known to the telephone
art.
The second floor of the building will
be used exclusively for operating; the
front half is large we'll ventilated
and well lighted operating room, in
which is placed the switch board
itself.
The first floor is occupied about
equally by the terminal, testing APP
paratus and power machinery, and
the public office, including the mana
ger and his clerical force. The public
office is provided with lobby in
which are located soundproof booths
to be used for long distance service.
The western Union Telegraph Office
is also located in this office and teIe-
Grams mill k>o roooix1ad oxor tho oouu
ter.
In the basement is located the City
Foreman's room; storage room for
material and tools, the heating sys-
tenn and the gas engine for charging
the storage batteries. The second floor
known as the terminal room will con-
tain the storage battery, power board,
testing apparatus, etc.
In addition to the central office
the outside is to be entire
ly remodeled. An estimate calling for
approximately 100000 is being
worked on. This includes new cables
and lines over the entire city. The
plant is now serving about 700 sub
scribers in the city but with the out
side equipment, the company estimates
that within very short time, there
will be approximately 100 subscribers
in the city.
All of the present instruments will be
replaced with the latest type of central
energy sub-station sets and when the
work is finally completed, which will
be in about four months, Baraboo will
have one of the finest telephone ex-
changes in the United States.
The telephone company is planning
to give reception shortly after the
new apparatus is put into service, and
thus enable it's subscribers and the
of Baraboo to inspect the COM
pleted work.
