FALLING. TREE CUTS
OFF TELEPHONE LINES

Considerable annoyance was caus-
ed to the telephone company Tues
day evening and yesterday morning
through their wires having been
carried down by a falling tree seven
miles south OF the city.
Manager f. T. Ludden received
word from Medford that the line was
out and the Instruments In the local
office showed that the trouble was
seven miles south. Within a very
few minutes crew was assembled
and was on its way to the scene OF
disaster. II was found that In clear
ing some land the wood choppers
had allowed large FIR tree to fall
towards the road and the wires we're
snapped In the fall. The road was
cleared. but no attention was paid
to the wires.
In getting word to Mr.. Ludden It
was necessary for the message to go
from Medford to San Francisco,
thence to Salt Lake, then to Port
land and up to Grants Pass, dis
tance OF over 1000 miles. II Is 32
miles to Medford by rail and about
2S by wire.
After working all night and until
nearly o'clock yesterday after
noon the linemen succeeded in get
ting service restored to norma.
While the line was out the news
papers between San Francisco and
Portland were greatly inconvenenc-
ed 1t IS not generally known that
about 95 per cent OF the Associated
Press and United Press dispatches
are sent over wires leased from the
telephone company. Over four wires
It Is possible to send four telegraph
messages and conduct three long dis
tance conversations at the same
time.
