TELL ABOUT USE
OF TELEPHONES
IN EARLY DAYS
Pioneer Indianapolis Sub
scribers Dinner Guests of
Bell Company.

"reminiscences Of the early days Of tha
telephone in Indianapolis, featured
dinner given by the Indiana Bell Tele'
phone Company at its building last niGht
for its pioneer subscribers. Approx
mateIy 125 persons attended.
They were those who were subscribers
for the telephone in 1888, or represent
attves Of firms WHO were subscribers at
that time. The dinner was brought
about by the finding of copy OF the
telephone directory of that time.
The old telephone directory, which was
displayed at the dinner, contained about
nine hundred names The advertising in
the old book was perhaps as interesting
as the list of names. One downtown store,
which is still in existence, advertised
that it had electric lights.
Frank Wampler, wee president and gen
eraI manager of the telephone company.
acted as POSTMASTER. He read a letter
from Senator Harry f. New in which he
described his difficulties as a reporter be-
fore the days of telephones. Albert ].
Beveridge was one of the guests at the
dinner and discussed the telephone in re-
latiou to human life.
The program included motion pictures
of the telephone system In Indianapolis
and 4 demonstration by operators OF how
telephone calls are handled through the
various exchanges. They also demon
st-ated some Of the faults in the use OF
the telephone.

NOME OH, SUPPLY ENDANGERED-A OIL
 TANK SPRINGS LEAK

Last Sunday evening about nine o'clock employees of the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields. employed at the former Associated Oil tank on Dry Creek, discovered that oil was trickling from the big tank and immediately notified the city office.
 W. J. Rowe was ordered to send out men, horses and scrapers to stem the flow of oil. W. J. employ ed all available men and with his equipment hastened to the scene of trouble. It is well to at this time state that the Coast Guard boys am sWered the call for help and were of great assistance to the force em. pfoyed. The light company was telephoned to string lines and lamps to enable the force to work quickly and without difficulty. Tom Kohan ik accomplished the work in a few minutes and the entire scene was properly illuminated.
 Men with horses and scropers proceeded to build dirt dam to enclose the escaping oil, which was issuing in two well defined streams, and by eleven o'clock the oil had formed a good sized lake. The leaks made their appearance on the north and down hill side of the tank. escaping thru the soft earth beneath the large structure.
 Engineer Edwards, assisted by MT. German. was in charge of the situation and sent out to the various company camps and stations for equipment to control the situation. An oil pump was brought from the tundra oil station and connected with the small oil tank at the main station. As quickly as the proper connections were made the leaking the tank. In the mean time the main line from the tank back to the tundra tanks was tried out and an attempt made to pump or draw back the oil into the smaller tundra tanks. This was found impractical. due to the fact that the oil was too cold. Then the pump station at the Associated Oil tank was employed to pump the oil. Within few hours this was accomplished: the tundra tanks filled and the Nome Electric Light & Power tank also filled. This left considerable oil remaining in the main tank. As the Bourbon Power plant possesses tank sufficiently large to accomo- date the remaining oil this will be used to complete emptying the leaking container Friday water was being pumped thru the oil line from the Associated plant to the | Bourbon tank to reveal possible leaks. of which there were many As soon as the leaks are stopped pumping will proceed until all oil in the main tank is removed.
 When emptied the leaking tank will he given thorough overhaul ing to prepare for any further con | tingency
 Fortunately for the Hammon Co and the entire community the actual l loss of oil will be slight due tn the early discovery of the leak and the further fortunate circumstance that it was base leak instead of sur face break.
