the main courtroom of the Koochich-
ing county courthouse, with state
officials and representatives. of
giving testimony.
After holding three sessions Mon
day, totaling nine and one-half
hours, and extending from 10 a. m.
until 10:15 p. m, the commission
was still without any definite in
formation as to the damage that
viii be caused by the proposed pow
er project Of the paper company to
lands adjacent to the lakes, except
in a general way, or the exact de-
tails OF the paper company's pro-
ject.
Members of the commission made
it plain Monday afternoon and even
ing that they win not reach a de-
cision on the matter until govern
ment engineers have submitted COM
plete reports, which viii probably
require q year or more.
Invited to Visit Area.
Hugh ]. MeClearn, Duluth attor-
ney, Monday night invited the mem
bers of the commission to make
tour through the affected area as
guests of the Arrowhead association
and ascertain first hand what con-
ditions are and better realize the
scenic beauty of the area.
The first witness Tuesday was
George H Selover of Minneapolis,
representing the LEAK Walton
League of America He is presi-
dent of Minnesota division of the
league.
Mr.. Selover presented the commits
sioners with petition, with several
thousand pages of signatures, that
had been circulated in Minnesota by
the league, and also with 200 signed
resolutions of protest passed BY the
various clubs of the Izaak Walton
league, with its $50, 900 members,
throughout the nation.
The Monday evening session was
somewhat more productive Of in
formation as 10 what damages the
northern lake district viii suffer by
approval of the power project than
were the afternoon and morning
sessions.
Five witnesses testified and were
cross-examined by Mr.. Backus and
attorneys representing the various
interests during the two and one
half hour session, which lasted un-
til 10:15 p. m. Rollo N Chaffee,
Duluth attorney, and general chair
man of the Minnesota Arrowhead

on the great natural beauty of the
boundary lake district, and particu-
larry Lac La Croix. He brought
out the fact that the district was
becoming more popular with tour
lists every year, and in opposition to

endured, Seeing the invisible"
Death for him had no terrors because
he was so conscious of eternal life. 1t
was with the same sense of power ex-
hibited in Jesus who laid down His
life instead of having it taken that he
of the angel face committed his spirit
into the hands of the Eternal God.
1t was victory supreme, for death held
no terrors and brought no pause in
his march toward the crown. And it
was all grace in the passionate plea
for the mistaken murderers. No ran
cOur stirred the serene depths of his
soul and like the realization of Jesus
that they did not know what they did
was the attitude of this lover of his
Lord. The prayer reached its mark
and Saul who stood by and had given
his voice against the man never was
able to shake off the impressions of
the hour. His soul recognized it's
kinship with the timeless ideas of the
martyr while he found himself linked
with the prosecuting Sadducee who
denied Immortality. 1t was destined
to work havoc with his peace until he
found it in Stephens Lord.

OFFICE BOYS MAKE
GOOD IN TELE-
PHONE BUSINESS
Seventy-five Chesapeake And Potomac
Officials Started At Bottom
OF The Ladder.

Ability, like murder, will out, and
the telephone business is apparently
no exception to the rule.
Figures recently compiled by the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, which operates in this
State, indicate that at least seventy
five of the officials of that concern
started their careers as lowly office
boys, helpers, junior clerks or in
some similar capacity. These men
have in the main grown up with the
business and have forged their way
ahead despite the handicap of an edu-
cation not as complete as that of
many Of their fellow workers.
In the early days of the telephone,
a young man walked into the tele-
phone building in Washington and
got Job as an apprentice switch
board installer. He soon became so
useful that his services were in de-
mand and he steadily advanced
through and up the organization to
inspector, wire chief, equipment en-
gineer, and Assistant Superintendent
of Maintenance for the whole c. and
P. territory. At the time of the Bal
timore fire, in 1904, he was placed in
full charge Of the rehabilitation work
From 1904 to 1919 this young man
served with the Bell Telephone Com
pany of Pennsylvania, advancing to
the position of head of the Plant or
Construction Department. On Deem
Der 1. 1919, he returned to the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Company, advanc-
ing to his present position aso Vice
President and General Manager. This
gentleman is Mr. Burdett Stryker.
Similar experiences are to the credit
of Mr.. S. NJ. Greer, Vice-President in
Charge of. Commercial Relations. and
to men now occupying such positions
as Assistant Treasurer, Maryland
Plant Superintendent, and a number
of others in the c, and P territory.
Two ex-offlce boys are now holding
down the jobs of Managers in the
West Virginia Division.
The fact that office boys can work
up to become engineers, managers.
and vice-presidents, seems to speak
pretty well for fair play in the tele.
phone business.

TELEPHONE MEN
HAVE LANGUAGE
ALL THEIR OWN
Dictionary OF Slang Required To IN
derstand Jareon OF Knights
OF Pole.

"The straw boss sez to me, Get out
the dinkey and the dolley and be sure
the grunt has the deadman handy to
set the stick"
Sounds sort of queer, doesn't it?
But it isn't. 1t is simply the vernacu-
lar of the telephone lineman. These
telephone linemen have a language all
their own. Just how some of the
terms originated which are so COM
mon in the craft is more or less of
down from one generation to another,
with the result that the country over
they are accepted and understood
wherever a gang of linemen may be
at work, whether it be in Abilene,
Texas, Keene, n. H, or Walla Walla
Washington.
When the lineman talks about tele-
phone poles he never refers to them
as such. He calls them sticks. The
foreman in charge of his crew is
known as the boss and the man next
In charge is always termed the straw
boss. The repairman is known as
the trouble shooter or as the bug
hunter. The climbers which he uses
are known as spurs orshooks, and the
leathe" strap which is placed around
the pole is termed the safety.
The lineman's helper on the ground
Is known as the ground hog or more
frequently as the "grunt." 1t is his
duty TO keep the lineman supplied
with materials and to look after his
tools, and the term generally used for
any tool or piece of material Is GIN
mick. The dinkey is the small cart
used for transporting poles, and the
dolley is the board or boards equipped
with roller for handling poles. The
deadman is the forked tool used in
holding a pole which is being raised,
and the term is also applied to the
log used for anchors.
Then there is also the Irishman
which, when translated, is found to
be what is known as the pulling-up
clamp, namely heavy piece of metal
with many bolts attached to it which
Is used to attach to the cable strand
The bride wires on the poles are
known as jumpers and the line used
to draw IN pulling line is termed the
Dish or snake. The insulators used on
the cross-arms of telephone poles are
always referred to as glasses.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Prepared Especially for The Repub-
lican by Rev. U. S. Wright, D. d.
SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 1925.
STEPHEN THE FIRST
MARTYR.

Acts SILT so.
Be thou faithful unto death and / will give
thee a crown of life.-Rev. 2:IO.
THE MAN.
Trouble in the Church" has a
strangely familiar sound. Yet this
record is that of the first group gath
cred by the Spirit into a body that
Christ might use. 1t was not far from
the flaming tongues and was in the
presence of that spirit of generous
sharing Of power and need that was
the glory of the company. 1t was out
of the human feeling that the difficult
ty arose. Somebody was neglected.
With the swiftly growing numbers
and the large proportion of folks who
were not part of the settled Jerus A.
lem population it is likely that some
were overlooked, but the "murmur'
was as unjust to the whole body as is
the "pique" of the present. Yet out
Of it God pressed blessing making
even wrath to praise Him. The over
worked Apostles called a congrega-
tional meeting, and there was the
most gracious courtesy in turning for
the administration of the matter
wherein had been the trouble to the
complaining party who would now be
in charge of the Hebrew unneglected
widows of yesterday. No wonder that
the number of disciples multiplied,
that the Word increased!
Stephen means crown, and he was
one Of those chosen for administering
the money end of the Church's work.
He belonged to the rank and file, Just
a consecrated layman who magnifed
his office. He was of good report"
so that he had character in the ewes
of the world. He was "full of the
Spirit" so that he was perfectly nor
nal in his Christian experience and
life. Finally he was full of wisdom"
or he had what DR.. Goucher termed
1.-The third blessing" that of common
sense. With such qualifications there
is little surprise in finding him a
marked man among the believers.
With keen mind he was quick to dis
Germ the real meaning of the teach
ings Of Jesus which he was so eager
to present that the synagogues be-
came his resort where he took every
opportunity to discus his Lord with
those present. Paul may have been
one of those to measure a verbal
sword with the advocate of modern
ism, only to find the blade of its pas
sion too keen to be wihstood. For
Stephen insisted upon the progression
of religion whose changing features
would render the temple useless in
the new day of Spirit and would
change to meet the new conditions
In the midst of modern battles where
ideas contend, one can enter into the
bitterness with which that older one
was wdged. So Stephen the visionary
marched with Jesus, dreamer of a
new world, and faced the only argu-
ment that beaten minds can use.

who failed to see that their denial of
