Mrs. Bridget Gormley, wife Of ]. P.
Gormley, died at Spokane, Saturday
morning, the funeral taking place in
that city Monday. AS it has been
known that Mrs. Gormley has been in
poor health for months past, death In
this instance, was not unexpected, yet
none the less deplored by the friends
and acquaintances Of the deceased
living in the north part Of this county.
The Gormley family lived for num-
Der of years at Nighthawk, moving to
Oroville from that place. After resi-
dence of several years the family
moved to Haley, Idaho. About a year
ago Mrs. Gormley met with an acct
dent in which she broke limb, and
she never fully recovered from that
injury. She leaves husband, three
daughters, Mrs. Len Elsie, of Oroville
Mrs. ]. G. Hagenbuch, OF Spokane
Ella Gormley and three sons. John
George and Jack Gormley. to mourn
lher loss She was loyal wife. de-
lyoted mother and kind and sympa
Ithetic neighbor.

TWELVE BILLION CALLS A YEAR.

The magnitude of telephone traffic
department oprations perhaps can be
visualized by the statement that the
Bell owned companies alone employ
1870, 900 operators to serve some $500
900 stations, which make over 12,OOO,-
OOO, 900 calls a year. Looking forward
to 1910 there will probably be 25,OOO,-
900 telephones in the United States,
and the complexities Of telephone
plant and operations increases much
more rapidly than the number Of sta
tions. The 10000 operators are locat-
ed in $500 offices. The telephone
buildings and land alone represents
an investment Of nearly $160,O00,00O
and as an interesting detail, In the
single item Of lunches, which are pro-
vided only in the larger cities where
the girls cannot conveniently go home
for lunch, there is a considerable bus
iness, turning over some $S.0oo.ooo

WHAT WE NEED.

Mr.. Editor:-I notice a good deal
said in the Wenatchee World as to
what Wenatchee needs and l have
also noticed that we have to do good
deal of "hollering" before we get any
thing. and as several years ago was
one of the first who commenced "hol-
lering" for a cannery, and now we
have a good one, l now lift up my
voice in supplication for plant to
dry our surplus fruit. We need one
badly and as the years go by we shall
need it worse. The Commercial CLUB
should look into tnis matter. what
say you?
