TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS


until 1905 that conversation could be had
over long-distance circuits OF which as much
as 20 miles was in underground cables. BY
1906 underground talking distance had in
creased to 90 miles. BY 1911: it was possible
to talk underground from New York to
Washington.
1T was then that the construction of UNDER
ground conduiis from Boston to Washington
was determined upon.-not that it was ex-
pected to get Il through underground talk be-
tween those places, but in case Of storm or
blizzard. to utilize itermediate sections In
connection with the overhead.
Our persistent study and incessant expert
menfation have produced results more re-
markable still.
We have perfected cables. apparatus and
methods that have overcome obstacles here
toforc regarded as ineuperable both to long,
distance overhead and underground CONVERSE
ton.
Underground conversation is now possible
between Boston and Washington, four times
the length Of the longest European under
ground line. This enabled the Bell System in
the recent great storm. so destructive on land
and sea. to maintain communication for the
public between all the principal points on the
Atlantic seaboard.
Telephone communication is established be.
tween New York and Denver, 10 potentially
possible between all points in the United
States. and by 1915 will be an accomplished
fact between New York and San Francisco.
In our use Of methods or apparatus, we are
committed to no one system. We own, con-
troll OF have the right to use inventions ne
cessary TO operate any system recognized or
accepted as the most efficient. The Bell Sys-
tenn must always recognize. and In its selec-
tton must always be governed by the neces-
stiles OF a national service. with it's complex
requirements. which is infinitely more exact.
ing than local or limited service.
These achievements represent vast expen-
ditures OF money and immense concentration
of effort which have been justified by results
of Unreasonable benefit to the public. No
local company unaided could bear the nnan-
cial or scientific burden of this work. Such
results are possible only through a central
lied general staff, avoiding wasteful duplica-
ton of effort. working out problems common
to all. for the benefit Of all.
The pioneers of the Bell System recognized
that the telephone service as they saw 1t, was in
the broadcast sense a public utility: that upon
them rested a public obligation to give the
best possible service at the most reasonable
rates consistent with risk, investment and
the continued Improvement and maintenance
of its property.
Without this expenditure Of millions and
concentration Of effort. the telephone art AZ
1t exists could not have been developed.
What we have done in working out these
great problems in the past should be accepted
a. a guarantee Of what We viii do in the IN.

Long distance and underground transmits
sion was the most formidable scientific prob
lem confronting the telephone experts.
The retarding effect Of the earth on the
telephone current often impaired CONVERSE
ton through one mile underground as much
as through 100 miles overhead. Overhead
conversation had Its distinct limitations.
No possible Improvement in the telephone
transmitter could Of itself solve these diff
culties.
The solution was only found in the cumu-
lative effect of improvements. great and
small, in telephone. t%ransmitter, line, cable.

In no line Of human endeavor has the in
ventive brain of the scientist contributed
more to the worlds progress than by the
creation Of the art of telephony of which the
Bell system Is the embodiment.
When the telephone was born. nothing an
alogous to telephone service as we now know
1t existed. There was no tradition to guide,
no experience to follow.
The system. the apparatus,th methods-an
entire new art had to be created. The art
of electrical engineering did not exist. The
Sell pioneers, recognizing that success de-
pended upon the highest engineering and
technical skill at once organized an expert
mental and research department which is
now directed by a staff of over $50 engineers
and scientists, including former professors.

FOR DATA
ON NEVADA SOILS

Inquiry has just been made of the
college of agriculture for data as to
soils in the area available for agricul-
.ture north of the Western Pacific rail-
read near Winnemucca. The informa-
ton was desired by agricultural ex-
perts connected with a group Of rail-
road officials who have just gone over
the ground to investigate its adapta
.bility to colonization.
in replying to the request for infor-
nation as to the soils, Dean c. s.
Knight has been able, through data
and analysis of soil, secured some time
ago. to divide the land into three
soil types, the, first two of which are
very rich in all plant foods and the
third relatively poor in nitrogen, re
quiring special treatment, such as the
planting of grain and beets for sever
a; seasons.
The alkali type of soil, which is de-
fcient in nitrogen accompanied by
good drainage before it IS available
for agriculture. is not generally pres
ent in the district. The following
summary of the soil types is given:
The black soils bake very little af-
ter wetting, thus can be easily work
ed and put in condition for crop pro
duction. They are rich in available
plant food and contain a small
amount of alkali salts which will not
prove injurious. Also they contain a
great deal of vegetable matter which
aids in keeping the soil mellow and in
retaining water. Such soils are we'll
suited for cereals, alfalfa, potatoes,
sugar beets and especially all classes
of truck crops.
The brown soils contain sufficient
plant food to supply the needs of
any of the above mentioned crops. A
good system Of rotation on such soils
is grain, potatoes or sugar beets, fol-
lowed by grain and alfalfa. These
soils can be made highly productive
b. deep blowing, the Incorporation of
an abundance Of organic matter and
frequent cultivation.
The soils which show considerable
alkali on the surface are of little
value in their present condition for
agriculture use, and viii be reclaimed
with more or less difficulty especially
where the black alkali salts are pre-
valent. These salts pack the soil 50

ITALY ENTERS HORSE
MARKET OF THE WEST

Salt Lake railroad officers were no
titled Thursday that G. l.. Goulding,
of Denver, has a contract with the
Italian government to furnish 10000
artillery and cavalry horses within
three months. MI. Goulding, accom-
panied by Italian army officers, will
DO in Salt Lake shortly after Jnauary
] in connection with his mission. The
horses will be bought in Utah, Neva-
da, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
This is the largest individual eon-
tract for horses let by any European
nation since the var began and as
the time in which the Italian govern
ment demands delivery is short it is
expected that centers viii be desig-
mated where the horses viii be in
spected. As the English and the
French have beer through the Idaho
country it is expected that the Ital-
fans will give more time to Utah and
Nevada. Nevada horses were not
considered heavy enough by the Brit
ish for artillery purposes.
Six cars of horses viii be loaded by
the Oregon Short Line in Idaho today
for consignment to New York for for
warding to France. These horses were
bought by the French for the artil-
lery.

railroad circles that the British and
French soon win call for bids on eat

EXPRESS CLERK SKIPPED
 WITH PACKAGE OF MONEY Arrested at Station in St. Louis and
 Confesses His Guilt

St. Louis. Mo. Jan. 12-Clayton M Saxty, accused of robbing the Wells Fargo express office at Fort Smith, Rrk., of a package containing more than 5000 in gold and currency yes terday, was arrested here tonight with $5,741 of the money in his possession. He was arrested in the Union station when about to board train for Chi cago.
 At the police station he admitted the theft. SaXty is p years old and was employed as a cderk in the office of the express company. The clew to his flight from Fort Smith came from a newly purchased motorcycle which he abandoned on the Arkansas river bank near Van Buren, to take a train for St. Louis.
 Saxty signed a receipt for the money Sunday noon while he was alone in the office The package came from St Louis bank and was intended for the payroll of a mining company at Jenny Lind, Ark. Saxty took all the gold and currency and left only small amount of silver.
 The absconding clerk told the police here he first put the money in the company's safe, but when he returned to his home for dinner and realized the many needs of his IS year old wife and their child he returned to the off, flee and took the money.

A GENERAL STRIKE
 SEEMS PROBABLE.
Ballots Cast by Members of Various
 Crafts Favor One.

Capetown. Jan. 12.-Quiet prevails throughout South Africa tonight but this may be the Hull before the storm as the incoming ballots from various centers make it practically certain that a general strike will be voted. The ballots received from the miners along the reef all favor a strike, and the various trades, including shop assist ants, warehouse men and clerks in Johannesburg have voted similarly.
 The feeling is g.-owing in Johonnes- burg that the situation is becoming more serious. The Capetown harbor workers have not been officially called out by the union. but their response will not be known until tomorrow.
 A ballot by the Johannesburg branch of the Typographical union has result cd by large majority in favor of a strike. This probably means that the people of Johannesburg will have nc newspapers after tomorrow
 If q general strike is called it will be out of sympathy for the strike of the railway employees, many of whom have abandoned their posts and laid down their tools in the railroad workshops.
