8 ROOMS $3.50

This is no shack, it's a double
constructed house, large rooms.
bath room, pantry and 8 large clos
ets.- lights and water. large front
porch, level lots on corner. The
place is not on 9th and Pacific. It's
at SO. Tacoma, but believe me, it's
like getting a home for nothing,
500 cash, balance like rent. It's
being sold to satisfy a mortgage.
First man to put up some money
gets 1t.

engineer could not speed up dynamos
or start more engines running to get
what he was after For tele,. hony's
motive power is the feeblest thing
imaginable. 1t is mere breath. And
the engineer must preserve and hurry
to their destination practically instan-
taneously the thousands of minute
waves made in the air by the voice
with all their separate shapes and in
dividualities preserved. In speaking
of his engineers problems, President
Vail said
The solution was found only In the
cumulative effect of improvements,
great and small. in telephone. trans
mitter, line, cable, switchboard and
every other piece of apparatus, or plant
required in the transmission OF
speech.
Nine Million Telephones.
But proud as telephone engineers
are of what they have accomplished,
they will tell you that this trans
continental line is by no means
the last word in the telephones de-
velopment in this country. The new
line is the backbone of a network of
21.OO0,O00 miles of wire woven round
100000 telephone stations of the
Bell System. The completion of this
line is mighty step forward, toward
that ideal of universal service preached
by President Vail and This associates
back in the Seventies. AS they inter
preted universal service, it meant that
anyone anywhere could speak to any,
one anywhere in this country by TAX
ing his telephone receiver off the hook.

Here are some figures in connection
with the New York-San Francisco line
for the lovers of statistics:
Length of line, 3,400 miles. Route:
From San Francisco to Salt Lake City,
no miles; from Salt Lake City to
Denver, $50 miles; from Denver to
Omaha, 585 miles; from Omaha to Chi
cago, 500 miles. At Chicago the line
branches, one branch going to Pitts
/ burgh, 546 miles, and then to New
! York, 800 miles from Pittsburgh. The
other branch goes from Chicago to
/ Buffalo, 603 miles, and then down to
/ New York, $50 miles There is con-
/ tinuation of the line from Buffalo to
| Boston, 465 miles long. From Pitts
burgh there is continuation extend
/ ing to Baltimore, $50 miles away on to
+ Washington, 265 miles. Philadelphia
/ is reached by branch from the line
extending from Pittsburgh to New
York, connecting at Newtown Square.
The diameter of the hard-draWn cop
per wire of number B. w. 9. gauge
used in the line is 1865 inch. The total
weight OF one circuit consisting OF TWO
such wires is 1,480 tons.

able experiments and improvements
Every step forward in the develop
ment of telephony has been over a
gigantic scrap heap. Bells original
transmitter has seventy-three de-
scendants. Fifty-three types and styles
of transmitters have been introduced
since 1877. Within ten years the Bell
System spent for construction and re-
construction an amount more than
equal to the present book value OF the
entire plant.
And what is true of transmitters and
receivers is even truer of all that lies
between the terminals of the trans
continental line, for it is in this held
that the engineers had their real prob
lens. To fill in the gap between Den
yer and the Coast with wires and poles
was mparatively simple. The task
they confronted was to begin at New
York and working all along the line,
make the multitudinous improvements
necessary for 3,400 mile talk. Trans
mitters, switchboards, metallic circuits,
hard-drawn copper wire and loading
coils ell had to be attuned to the trans
continental keynote. There's hint OF
the real achievement In what the engi-
neers did with the loading coil. When
/ the loading coil left the hands OF its
inventor it was as large as key, and
the fine iron wires inside 1t cost mint
to make. To-day the loading coil is a
few inches in size, and in the New
York-Sant Francisco line there are 49,.
900 miles of that wire whose cost of
manufacture is comparatively low.

Pioneer.
George S. Barnes, chairman of
the town of Barnes, this week clos
ing deal for the sale of large
tract CT lard to an Iowa colonization
company, and it is the intention OF
the company to begin colonizing the
tract the coming spring.
The land embraced in this deal is,
for the most part, in compact body
aud is located between Barnes farm
and Pigeon lake, in the towns of
Barnes and Drummond, and the soil
is of loan and sandy loan
character.
Negotiations for the deal had been
going on for the past month, or six
weeks, and on Wednesday OF last
week: gentleman from Minneapolis
representing the Iowa people, came
up Eere and spent several days
looking over the tract, and word
was received here yesterday that
the deal was closed.
Mr.. Barnes informed The Pioneer
that a church organization is in
some way interested in the colonial
ton project, and that the promoters
expect to have the settlement of the
lands well under way before the
close OF the present year. This is a
section of Bayfield, county that has
heretofore been unavailable to
settlers, and the present sale
initiates movement to develop an
extensive territory that possesses
many latent possibilities for the
support of a thrifty agricultural
community.
For the successful contamination
of the deal Mr.. Barnes is entitled to
a great deal of credit.
Highway Commissioner Sundell
of Bayfield, county, and Mr.. Stein.
of the Stein Construction Company.
of Medford. were in town last Fri
day looking over the sites Of the two
county bridges which will be con-
structed in western Bayfield, county
during the coming season. Mr..
Stein obtained the contract for both
of these bridges, and the purpose of
his visit here at this tine was to
carefully look over the ground and
get line on the problems which
will have to be met in carrying out
his contracts.
Mr.. Sundell, in talking with the
Pion er editor about the new bridge
which will be built over the Iron
river at the power house, said that
he did not nave the plans and speci-
fications with him, but expressed
the opinion that the bridge will be
the best so far constructed in Bay
field county.
