MUTUAL RELATIONS AND INTERESTS
 OF THE BELL SYSTEM AND THE PUBlI'

and, so Tar as It may De determined
 that our policy or any act under it
 is against the public interest, we will
 promptly conform to such determina- ton.
 We believe that if each of our ex- changes were made an independent unit and if each connecting line were put under separate control, the eff feet upon the telephone service of the country would be a condition so in- tolerable that the public would refuse ,, to submit to it and would immediate : ly require such physical connection and common control of these various
 units as would amalgamate them into
 single system. Physical connection in the case of telephone or telegraph
 does not mean transfer of messages from one line to the other. It means such a connection as will permit one person to have the actual possession of the particular line of cOmmunica- tion from one end of it to the other, and this can only be given efficiently by exchange systems and connecting lines under a common control; and that is what the Bell System is. In this connection, and for general information, we will restate the policy which controlled the building up of the Bell System, and our belief as to what telephone system should be, and what are it's relations to the pub lie.
 We believe in and were the first to advocate state or government control and regulation of public utilities; that this control or regulation should be by permanent quasi-judicial bodies, acting after thorough investigation and governed by the equities of each case; and that this control or regula- tion, beyond requiring the greatest ef- ficiency and economy, should not in terfere with management or opera ton. We believe that these bodies, if they are to be permanent, effective and of public benefit, should be thor oughly representative; they should be of such character and should so con- duct their investigations and deliber- ations as to command such respect from both the public and the corpora tions that both will without question accept their conclusions.
 We believe that the public would in this way get all the adantages
 and avoid all the manifest disadvan- |tages of public ownership.
 l We believe that centers of business
 and population exist for the convent
 ence of the public as whole, and that Inc such center can prosper without

inc SulC brought Dy Clle OLillCu States questioning the purchase of certain telephone properties in the northwest, as we'll as the pending h. terstate Commerce Commission tele- phone investigation, have caused many inquiries. Without taking up any thing going to the merits of these proceedings, it has seemed to us prop CT to state generally what has been our policy and purpose in the conduct of our business.
 We have found, or thought that we had, that our interests were best serv- ed when the public interests were best served and we believe that such suc- cess as we have had has been because our business has been conducted on these lines.
 We believe that our company has an interest as vital as that of the public in the proper administration of the problems of electrical inter-cOmmuni- cation. The success and prosperity of our company depend upon solution of these problems which shall be sound from both the standpoint of the company and the public which it serves
 Following our own best judgment, supplemented by the best obtainable advice. we have endeavored to do what would best serve the public interest; /; wherever possible our plans have been disclosed to the public in ad- vance, and what has been done in car rying them out has been along ordi- nary business lines, with the implied, and generally, authorization or con- sent of the municipal and state au- thorities directly interested. Our eff fort has been not only to obey the law, but to avoid everything which might even have the appearance of an attempt at evasion.
 Our business methods and policy, and practically all of the details as to the transaction of our business, are matters of common knowledge and are, and for many years have been, well known to the government. We will willingly furnish the government any additional information which is in our possession or under our control, and will cordially cooperate with 1t in obtaining such further information as it may require. Every possible as sistance will be given by us to the courts in their effort to determine whether our policy is or has been in- imical to the public interest. We de sire that anything wrong be correct ed; we will voluntarily rectify any wrong that may be pointed out to us;

public as fully in accord with these declarations. Consistent adherence to this policy has given the public of the United States the best, most compre- hensive and cheapest telephone service in the world and made the Bell stand ards the standards of all nations. To remove any possible excuse for misapprehension on account of the many misleading statements which have been circulated as to the alleged unnecessary and overcapitalization and excessive charges of the Bell Sys- tenn, the following statistics are given Except where stated, the figures are for the Bell System; that is, the American Telephone and Telegraph and it's Associated Companies
 The entire Bell System on June 30, 1913, had outstanding in the hands of the public obligations (i. e., notes, open accounts, bonds and shares) to the par value of $776,OOO,OOO.
 The book value of the total tangible assets which is considerably less than their replacement value, amounted to $960, 1000, ,000. Many appraisals of property included in these assets have been made, and most of them under the direction of public authorities. In no case has the value as it stands on the books failed to be sustained, and the efforts to furnish such service at less than it's fair cost. either through the loss of the capital involved, the losses incident to poor service or the necessary increase in charges requir- ed to pay for duplication of capital. in most cases it has been very largely exceeded.
 The total dividends and interest paid during the year 1912 amounted to only 6.1 per cent on the average of it's outstanding obligations, and to less than per cent on the average value of it's assets.
 The actual cash which has been paid into the treasury of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company on account of the capital obligations now outstanding amounts to $22,000,000 more than the par of such outstanding obligations.
 The Associated Companies collected from the public and paid back in taxes over $1O 900 900 during the yea 1912.
 The steadily increasing necessities of the public not only for additional but for new telephone service can only be met by new construction, involv- ing capital outlay. To meet these de- mands during the six and one-half years from 1907 to June, 1913, inclu- sive, the increase in telephone plant was as follows: Toll line wire in- creased from l 1,460,00O miles to 2,242,- 900 miles; exchange wire increased from 6,000,000 miles to 13,000,0O0; {; the number of exchange stations in creased from 2,73O,0OO to 5,2OO,OOO; ; the number of stations of independent companies connected with the Bell System increased from 343, 1000 to g. 620,000. The number of independent companies connected with the Bell System is about 25,000. The number of employees in the Bell System, not

AMERICAN WOODS
GO TO THE ORIENT

Recent statistics indicate a mark
ed increase in exports of lumber
from the United States to the Orient.
More than a quarter of million
feet of American woods are reported
as being used in Samoa, Hawaii. and
the Philippine Islands.
Heretofore, it is said. raw materi-
ais have been made up into finished
articles in the United States, almost
without exception, and exported as
such. With the discovery by Ameri-
can manufacturers in the Philippines
that they could import United States
woods and make them up with profit
there, wood-using factories were
built. Pacific coast woods, in conce-
quence, are in many cases taking the
place of the native woods with pic
turesque names as apitong, teak,
narr and yacal.
Douglas fir, according to the in
formation collected by the forest
service, is tn principal wood export
ed form this country. 1t is said to
be the favorite wood among insular
manufacturers for flooring. ceiling,
siding, cornice, shelving, finish and
boat work. Makers of furniture de-
mand California redwood and sugar
pine, southern quarter-sawed oak,
eastern ash. sugar maple, and west
ern white pine.
Four woods. principally conifers
and oaks, go into the construction of
boats for framing parts, masts.
spars, interior trimming, planking,
boat crooks, and tiller handles. Meat
blocks are made from sugar maple,
which with sycamore, supplies the
entire demand in the United States.
Wagon felloes are made of white
oak, and other parts of vehicles are
manufactured from highe grades of
white ash and white oak.

The girl shut her eyes and pressed
her fingers to them. In the light of
the street lamps, he saw that she was
very white, and also that there were
jewels flashing from the rings on her
fingers. 1t was apparent that she
was a lady of wealth and refinement.
What could have brought her to this
pass?
The carriage came to a sudden stop,
and, looking out, he saw they had
reached his home. A new alarm
seized him as the girl moved as if
to get out. His dignified mother and
his fastidious sister were probably not
in, but if by any chance they should
not have left the house, what would
they think if they saw a strange, hat
less young woman descend from the
carriage with him? Moreover, what
would the butler think?
Excuse me-" he said, "but really,
there are reasons why | shouldn't like
you to get out of the carriage just
here. Suppose you sit still until

in my dress, but it will take me only

you are really followed. he will let no
one disturb you in the carriage, of
course. Don't distress yourself. I'll
hurry. Can you give me the address

or telegraph"
She shook her head and there was a
glitter of tears in her eyes as she
replied:
mo, l know of no one in the city
who could help me-"
81 will help you, then" he said with
sudden resolve, and in a tone that
would be a comfort to any woman in
| distress.
As the young man let himself into
his home with his latch-key, he heard

at them with a sudden inspiration
OF counsel Why had he not thought
of that? He hurried into his sisters
room to make a selection of a few
necessities for the emergency-onIy
to have his assurance desert him at
the very threshold. The room was
immaculate, with no feminine finery
lying about. Cornelia Dunham's maid
was well trained. The only article
that seemed out of place was a band
box on a chair near the door 1t bore
the name of a fashionable milliner,
and across the lid was penciled in
Cornelia's large, angular hand, ITO

He caught up the box and strobe
over to the closet. There was no
time to lose, and this box doubtless
contained a hat of some kind. If it
was to be returned, Cornelia would
think it had been called for, and no
further inquiry would be made about
the matter. He could call at Mad

He poked back into the closet and
