68,303 Telephones
in Arkansas

A bulletin recently published
by the permanent Census Bureau
Of the Department Of Commerce
in Washington gives some inter
esting facts and figures concern
ing the telephone business. Ac-
cording to the report, Arkansas
had IS, 800 Of the S,72e,5e2 tele-
phones IN the United States at
the time the census was taken in
1917. These figures do not in
clude private exchanges in hotels,
residences and business houses,
but represent the actual number
Of open" telephones. The CEN
sus, however, includes private tel
ephone lines such as those be-
tween houses and rural lines. OF
this number, 37,o5S were operated
by the Bell Telephone Company,
of which the Southwestern Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company
operating in Dermott, is a unit. .
The report further states that
Arkansas bad I4I,oI4 miles Of
single wire in operation on the
different lines, as compared to the
2o,248,325 miles in the entire
United States. The Bell Tele-
phone Company operated $685.
1856 miles OF this number while in
Arkansas it operated III,o23
miles. In Arkansas the average
number OF telephone converse
tons per year at the time Of the
census was I24,445, ooI, while the
number tor the remaining states
of the Union was I3,oIl,2I2,254,
or a total OF I3735,o5s,7+5 tor
the entire United States.
Ii the number of conversations
in the United States had been
been limited to three minutes
each and consolidated Into one
message, it would have extended
over a period OF o3o,6Io.24s
hours, or as, s25,o77 days; $780,
52+ weeks; o47,3SI months, Count
ing four weeks to the month"; or
7S,o4S years. Taking = similar
estimate for the number of tele-
phone messages In Arkansas the
conversation would have lasted
o2,222,2oo hours. 2,5o2,5o5 days,
37o,37I weeks, o7,5o3 months, or
T,TIo years.
Arkansas population in 1917
was I,o33,23e, and for every
thousand of population there were
"a telephones, which is to say that
each phone was used by approx
matelY a. persons. Similar fig
ures for the United States show
a population Of o5,54s,33o, with
OF telephones for every 1900 peo-
Pile, making total OF 10 users
for every telephone.
From 1907 TO 1917, the increase
in the number Of miles OF single
wire operated in Arkansas was
1871 per cent, and the number of
telephones, 3o.5 per cent. The
increase in wire in the United
States for the same period was
I4.I per cent, while that OF instru-
ments was IS 5 per cent.
In 1912 the different telephone
companies in the United States
employed I83,3oI wage earners
and officials, at an expense OF
SOC, o4o,54I. The total income
was S255,oSI,23+, OF which f243,
427.oIi, or o5.4 per cent OF the
total, was derived directly from
telephone business. The remain
der came from interest on invest
ments, real estate rentals, etc.
The total expenses were t2o3-
$4,000, leaving a lei income OF
s5I,32o,32s. OF this amount, div
idends declared during the year
came came to S34,I2o,Soo, of
which S32,25S.I25 was on common
stock and 81, sos, oS4 on preferred,
