to 80 miles. BY 1912 it possible to talk under
ground from New York to Washington.
II was then that the construction Of underground
conduits from Boston to Washington determined
upon,-not that it was expected to get through
underground talk between those places but in case OF
storm or blizzard, to utilize intermediate sections in
connection with the overhead.
Our persistent study and meessant experimental
ton have produced results more remarkable still.
We have perfected cables apparatus and meth
DDS that have obstacles heretofore regarded
as insuperabe both to long overhead and I'M
derground conversation.
Underground conversation is now possible be-
tween Boston and Washington, four times the length
of the longest European underground line. This en-

TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS


In no line of human endeavor has the inventive
brain of the scientist contributed more to the worlds
prosres. than by the creation of the art Of telephony
Of which the Bell System is the embodiment.
When the telephone was bonn, nothing analogous
to telephone service as we now know it existed
There was no tradition to guide, experience to
follow.
The system, the apparatus the methods-an en-
ire new art had to be created The art Of electrical
engineering did not exist The Bell pioneers, recog-
mixing that success depended upon the highest engi-
neering and technical skill at once organized an ex-
perimental and research department, which is now
directed by staff Of $50 engineers and scientists
including former professors Postgraduate Students
scientific investigaors-he graduates of over 70 uni
verstes.
From it. foundation the company has continu-
ou.y developed the art New improvements IN tee-
phones switchboards lines, cables, have followed one
another with remarkable rapdity
While each successive type Of apparatus to the
superficial observer suggested similarity each step In
the evolution marked decided improvement. These
ch.nses this evolution, have not only been contno-
ous but are continuing. Substantially all OF the plant
now in use, including telephones switehhoards cables
and wires has been constructed, renewed or recon-
strueted in the past 10 years
Particularly in swtchboards have the changes
been 20 radical that installations costing in the asgre'
cate millions have frequently been discarded after
only . few years Of use.
Since 1877 there have been introduced IS types

Holbrook and vicinity was WIS.,

Holbrook is dry town.
Prof. Geo. L. Haynes was here
from Woodruff the first of the

looking after business affairs.
The professor has been engaged
to teach the ensuing term of
school at St. Joseph.
The children of the town have

Smith first came to Holbrook
about five years ago and for
some time served as book-keeper
for B. B. Crosby. Since that
time he has been engaged in va
rious enterprises along a cleri-
cal line. Mr.. Smith is a Texas
democrat but claims that this is
his first venture in the political
game as the politics were too
one-sided to furnish amusement
in his native state, where his
ambitions were confined to school
teaching.
