Ice Downs Pole Lines

Twenty-Five miles of pole line OF
the Pierce County Telephone Co. went
down under the load of ice which
CLOSED every exposed surface after
Friday evenings rain.
The damage was light in the cities
and villages at which the exchanges
are located-River Falls, Ellsworth
Spring Valley and Roberts-where
buildings, trees and anchor lines were
a full protection, but out in the coun-

destruction was complete.
Poles were blown down in practic-
ally every line out of each exchange,
and roadways were blocked with the
tangle. 1t is a peculiar fact that the
worst havoc was wrought on lines
which boasted the newer and strong
err poles. Older poles, weakened at
the base, would merely break off and
topple over, while the stronger poles
would hold at the base, but be twisted
