WILL GREATLY

Western Union Repeating Sta
ton Will Be Moved to
This Place

Winnemucca is going to lose the
transcontinental repeating station of
the Western Union Telegraph com.
pany. says a Winnemucca dispatch.
Winnemucca's loss will be the gain
of Elko and Reno. The station here
is TO be moved to Elko and an extra
station is TO be put in at Reno.
The move will be costly and
Winnemucca regrets keenly the loss
OF this institution, with it's monthly
payroll of s1700. the advantages to be
derived are expected to reimburse the
company in two months. The Western
Union has least till 1929 on it's pres.
ent quarters, but that fact seems in
| significant in view of the gain ex.
pected by moving. 1t will cost $4,000
TO make the move. The company will
put in its own power plant in Elko.
These stations are located every
500 miles across the continent. as
nearly as can be, and Winnemucca has
the only station between Ogden and
San Francisco. This distance is too
great, and that is why the change
has been decided upon, moving this
Office nearer to Ogden and putting in
an extra office at. Reno. 1t is figured
tina; If the telegrapmis printing ma
chine, which now transmits $40 words
a minute. can be specded up TO an
increase of one word minute. or
sixty words an hour, for twenty.four
hours a day, that the cost of the
change to Elko will be met by this one
item alone within two months.

tinental repeating station of the Bell
