VETERAN TELEGRAPH
 OPERATOR TO RETIRE

VISALIA, alif.,-Dec. 16.-"Thirty' soon may be sent over the wires by J. c. Ward, veteran telegraph oper- ator, who taught Thomas A. Edison the Morse code. Ward, whose sixty years of telegraphing make him prob. ably the oldest operator in point of service in the United States, has had charge of an office here thirty five years and he wants to retire.
 Ward started telegraphing back in 1862, working for the Grand Trunk railroad at Mount Clemens, Mich. Edi. son was a newsboy on the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad and the two boys became fast friends, when Edi. son used his spare moments to take up telegraphing under Wards super vision. When Edison's train stopped long enough at Mount Clemens, he would learn few letters or combina- tions from Ward, then when his train stopped at another station he would send them back over the wires to his teacher.
 During the Civil War, Ward served as a telegraph operator on General Grant staff. Later he came West for a commercial firm and worked at Sacramento in the pioneer days Si- soria called him and he worked for while on construction jobs there.
 Thirty five years ago he came to Visalia to set up repeaters for the VI salia telegraph office. He planned to stay some six months to "get things" in running order, but he has been here ever since. Once he was elected mayor of visalia on the Re publican ticket when everything else went Democratic five to one.
 Now MT. Ward thinks he would like to retire, 30 the telegraph company has asked the state railroad commis- sion for authority to close the office. If 1t is granted, the veteran win be through
