but there are a few names that will al
ways stand out shove the rest in connec-
ton with it. There must be great gen.
erals for armies that win such victories.
For many years this line from ocean to
ocean has been the dream of Theodore y.
Vail, president of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company, the goal
toward which he has pushed and toward
which he has steadily led his associates
and the army of his employees. Not the
dream of a dreamer, but the prophetic
vision of a practical, forceful, capable
man, a man Of unlimited business energy
and knowledge, who could see anything
in telephony except impossibilities. He
not only cannot see them, but will not
admit that they exist; he does not find
the word impossible" in his dictionary
of engineering terms. Almost from the
beginning of the telephone, his energy
and enthusiasm, his dauntless optimism
and ambition in everything relating to its
perfection and promotion, and his idea OF
universal service" have dominated the
company and made enthusiasts of every
one connected with it in great things or
in little.
At his side through most Of these years
has been slightly built, 1.-the keen-eyed
man, who never has to be told but once
when n great thing is to be done. A nod,
and line goes to Denver = q word, and
iit stretches to the Pacific coast. That
is John j. Carly, Chief Engineer OF the
American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. A leader among the scientific men
of all nations and honored by their rulers
for his distinguished services in engineer
ing accomplishment, his wide knowledge,
.,,Iz L.. FL Ak L.
energy have combined TO make him one
of the great factors In telephone achieve
ment and advancement He is wizard
of the wires. Long ago he said this
great thing could and should be done
and through the great banks of silence
that separated the East from the West,
this Goethals of electricity has been cut
ting his way, year by year, until the
great canal of human speech il done.
Others have played big parts in this
drama Of human endeavor and achieve
ment. and thousands have given their
share Of thought and labor, but whoever
is forgotten or remembered, the names OF
Vail and Carly will be linked with this
new triumph of science as long as man
talks to man.
There has been no greater achieve
ment in the history OF the Bell Company,
none in the history OF telephony, few in
the history of the world. The gain to
science is great. Immeasurably more
precious. however. is that to the nation,
and intellectually greater are the benefits
to commerce and society. What the
Transcontinental means to the future Of
the country, what it will bring about by
drawing the East and West closer to-
gether, how much OF increased prosperity
and haODinesa these thousands ~ m lea
of wire will insure, no man can gauge.
