How anyone could become as or

MIR. MOORE SAYS
VASHON ISLAND TOO
The Auburn Globe. Republican
Tells Their Readers Talk
Is Cheap Etc.

we cup inc lolioWlle iioih Ilc
above named paper, and in or
der to satisfy ourselves that Va
shon island could go Auburn one
better, being about twcntymiles
farther from New York, we call
ed up Mr.. Moore, manager for
the Washington Coast Utilities,
and asked him if We could
talk from the NEWS-RECORD
office to New York City. Sure,
said Mr.. Moore, and then we
told him we didn't want to try
it, remembering the story Of the
parrot which talked too derned
much, but just wanted to satisfy
our readers that Auburn couldn't
put anything over on our blessed
islands by way Of our talking
route. This is the article which
inspired our investigation:
"Did you ever go to your tele-
phone in Auburn, call up friend
in iii old new York, and have
a sociable chat-across the entire
continent and over the heads Of
millions of people?
Chances are you haven t..
Many folks don't even know that
it can be done-that a direct con
versation may be carried ON,
without relaying the remarks
made and without any pal'tic-
ular straining Of the aural organs
But arranging for such talks is
only a part Of the routine work
Of the central operators in the
Auburn office.
Gone Auburn business man
puts in a call regularly every
evening for New. York city. Near
ly every time he gets prompt
service and is able to hear dis
tinctly, albeit it causes the local
operator as well as several 9th
ers enroute considerable hard
work and it is entirely possible
a few mild, feminine cuss-words
are emitted during the connect
ing-up process.
Gone reason there aren't more
Auburn-New York city calls, Of
course, is that it costs real mon
ely tc carry on such tete-a-tete
Any time, day or night, that a
person-to-person call is placed
between these points it sets one
back Just $3.50 to converse for
three minutes, and every addi-
tional minute increases the toll
by $3.50. During the day time
a Standardization call costs $l5.
70 for the first three minutes and
1920 minute thereafter. AT
night, however, a station to sta
ton call is considerably cheaper.
From $50 to y the rate is 1875
and $3.50, and if one waits until
the wee Sma' hours between u
and 4, a Station-to-StatiDn chat
may be had for the reasonable
rate of 1890 for three minutes
and $l.30 "A minute thereafter.
Long distance talking is fast
becoming an ordinary event. The
other day man in Cincinnati
called up a relative,in Auburn
"Though the demand for tele-
phones is increasing rapidly with
the growth of this city, increas.
ed facilities recently installed at
the local Office have proved AIDE
quate to handle the enlarged bus
mess, and new subscribers are
being handled cXpeditiously.
Which brings to mind the fact
that in this respect Auburn is
far more fortunate than New
York city, where new telephones
are so hard to secure that some
subscribers are advertising their
phone numbers for sale in the
classified columns Of the news
papers. "
