TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS


In no line of human endeavor has the in ventive brain of the scientist contributed the worlds progress than by the creation of the art of telephony, of which the Bell system is the embodiment.
 When the telephone born, nothing an- alogous to telephone service know it existed. There tradition to guide, no experience to follow.
 The system, the apparatus the methods-an entire had to be created. The art of electricia engineering did not exist. The Bell pioneers, recognizing that success depended upon the highest engineering and technical skill at once organized an experimental and re- search department which is now directed by a staff of $50 engineers and scientists in cludng former professors, postgraduate stu dents, scientific investigators graduates of over 70 universities
 From it's foundation the company has con- tinuousy developed the art. New improve ments in telephones switchboards lines, cables have followed another with remark able rapdlty.
 While each successive type of apparatus to the superficial observer suggested similarity, each step in the evolution marked decided improvement. These changes, this evolution, has not only been continuous but is continu- ing Substantially all of the plant now in use. including telephones, switchboards, cables and wires has been constructed, renewed or re- constructed in the past 10 years
 Particularly in switchboards have the changes been radical that installations cost ing in the aggregate millions have frequently been discarded after only few years of
 Since 1877 there have been introduced 53 types and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of transmitters Of the 12000,O00 tele- phone receivers and transmitters owned by the Bell Company January l, 1914, none were in use prior to 1902 while the average age is less than five years
 Within 10 years have expended for con struction and reconstructions amount more than equal to the present book value Of our entire plant.
 Long ng-distance and underground transmission was the most formidable scientific problem confronting the telephone experts.
 The retarding effect of the earth on the tele- phone current often impaired conversation through one mile underground much as though 100 miles overhead Overhead conver- sation had it's distinct limitations.
 No possible improvement in the telephone transmitter could of itself solve these difficulties
 The solution was only found in the cumula- tive effect of Improvements, great and small, in telephone transmitter, line, cable switch board and every other piece of apparatus or plant required in the transmission of speech
 While the limit of commercial overhead talking had increased from strictly local to over 1000 miles early as 1893. it was not until 1905 that conversation could be had over long

duty. He will be needed badly against |
the Braves and Giants.
HargraVe is a good young catcher, |
but he does not come up to the re- |
quirements of team in the thick of |
a bitter fight for a pennant. The |
Giants would make his life miserable. |
Jimmy Archer and his mended arm
have Travelled east. The wing is sup |
posed to be as good as ever which |
is enough-bUt Archer is out of con-
dition, and will need some little time |
to regain active playing form.
When he is ready Bresnahan will
get a much-needed rest, though he |
will at least divide the catch
ing toward the end of the campaign. |
O'Day goes east with the best
combination he has bossed this year
He has plugged the hole at short sub
stantially, and several of the wab-
blers have regained their stride.
The pitchers, of course, will carry
large part of the fight. Right now
the staff is better than at any time
this year.
But it is in Schultz, Good and
Sweeney that the greatest awakening
can be noted. Following an ambitious
jaunt through the east, Good slumped
in batting at home. In the last ten
days, however, he has frightened his
batting eye to high degree, and has
been putting in some very important
hits.
Good is a fine baserunner and Valu-
able man defensively. If he bats at
the speed he has shown in the last
ten days he will arouse the eastern
critics.
Sweeney is at last playing the ball
of which he is capable. 1t must be
admitted that Bill was off to a bad
start this season. He seemed to be
the weak sister of the infield, despite
the hole at short. But he has reused

here. He has been reJuVenated, and is
taking a kids interest in his work.
Take the Cubs clear around the
diamond, and the team isn't bad, as
teams go in the National League this
season.
Ten games out of IS were won
from eastern teams during the home
stand just ended. The last eight con-
tests were victories, starting with the
great ninth-inning defeat of the
Giants in the final game of that series.
Brooklyn and the Phillies were clean
ed. Boston was the stumbling block.
The trip begins in Boston tomor-
row. If the Cubs get out of there with
an even break success on the trip
should be assured, for right now that
gang Of Stallings' is playing as fine
a brand of ball as any team in the
league.
Battered, but still in the ring, the
Sox are Iimping homeward, and will
be within the city gates tonight. All
pennant dreams have exploded with
a loud report. The disastrous flag end
of the eastern trip is responsible.
Cal and his men made great start
by taking three out of four from the
Red Sox. Then three out of five were
dropped to the Yanks, four straight
were taken by the Mackmen, and
Washington copied the odd game in
three.
The upset in Philadelphia caused
the big disappointment. For the Sox
usually play their best ball against
the White Elephants. On this occa-
sion, however, the Mack pitchers sud-
denly became effective, and there was
lack of pinch hitting by the Sox.
Frequent and sound WaIIopings
have been taken at the pitchers by
at least three clubs recently. That
doesn't denote a failing of the heav-
ers. In spite of a general belief to the
contrary, those gunner of Callahan's

Caviar Is New
Rival to Russian Dish

That American caviar is coming into
general use as a rival of Russian cav
lar is made plain in a bulletin issued
By the Department of Agriculture,
which declares that what at one time
was a very serious waste has been
turned into an excellent and valuable
food.
The principal difference between this
caviar and the Russian caviar, it is ex-
planned, is that the Russian article is
made principally out OF sturgeon roe,
while excellent American caviar is
made from salmon roe. white fish roe,
as well. as from sturgeon roe. The
department declares, however, that the
product should be sold for just what II
Is. and should be labeled to show the
name of the fish from which the rec is
taken.

TAX LIVE STOCK
IN HOME COUNTY
Eureka Land & Stock Company
Successfully Protests White
Pine Assessment

Ely Record: The Eureka Land &
Live Stock Company, which has ex-
tensive land holdings in the western
portion of White Pine County, where
t grazes from 1000 to $1,000 head OF
sheep during the entire Winter and
Spring months, was assessed in this
county on 5000 head of sheep, to
which the management of the CON-
pany, with headquarters in Elko,
made a written protest.
Assessor Miles appeared before the
Board of County Commissioners at
the time and stated that when the
assessment was made he was in
.ormed by the man in charge of the
heep that the company then had
more than 1000 head on the range at
he time. and as the sheep were here
only a part of the time the Assessor
Concluded that it was only proper to
ssess them at about one-half the
actual number.
The Board of Commissioners sus-
tanned the Assessor, and then the
management appealed to the State
Tax Commission, which on Tuesday
last Instructed Recorder Leahigh to
eliminate all sheep of the company
from the tax rolls, which order of
will be complied with. Dur
ing 1918, and for a considerable por-
ton of that year, the Eureka Land
& Live Stock Company grazed 1900
head of sheep in this county. which
were not fully listed for taxation in
Eureka County.
In regard to transient sheep the
law provides that the owners must
furnish the Assessor with a state
ment within 80 days of their arrival,
and if not they are subject to assess
ment in the county in which they are
by the Assessor. The Eureka
Land & Live Stock Company has
never complied with this provision
of the statutes, and therefore its
sheep were subject to taxation in
this county.

all this work being done by himself
