FLEIsCHLI RETURNED

Gus Fleischli returned Monday

Sheridan which he made in company
with two Chicago capitalists who
were investigating ranch and farm
conditions in this state. These men
are E. Uhlein and Russell Thorpe
and each of them represents a firm
which is already heavily interested
financially in Wyoming.
Mr.. Fleischli met the gentlemen in
Walcott and spent Saturday looking
yer the Platte river valley in the
vicinity Of Saratoga and Encamp-
ment. They left Sunday morning
and the two passengers departed for
their Chicago homes by train from
Sheridan.
The return journey was made by
Mr.. Fleischli as the Skull & Cross

Rawlins and Sheridan having been
negotiated in Z hours, 10 minutes
and Al seconds. This it is believed
establishes a permanent record over

College of Agriculture and the New
York County Farm and Home Bureaus
During the harvest operation a series
Of forecasts were sent out daily by
telegraph and by telephone
In this way the farmers were given
advance information about the wealth
Or. These forecasts covered longer
period than do the regular forecasts
published in the newspapers, as they
were given from one to four days in
advance. They were made available
to farmers having telephones within
two hours after they left tie hands of
the forecaster. Thus the wise farmer
was able to be prompt in cutting his
eats, or in holding off from cutting his
clover in case rain was prophesied, or
he could hasten harvesting if good
weather was expected.
The service ia available to farmers
having telephone connection. During
July and August the harvest weather
forecasts are dispatched to the county
agencies In some thirty-avs counties
Of New York State In one county, by
the use Of party lines, practically every
farmer haH5ns telephone receives the

dustry to be located within certain
prescribed limits In New York City
the shopping district crept uptown
from Fourteenth street and Twenty
third street until today most of the
section below Fifty-ninth street is de-
voted to business purposes. Manu-
featuring concerns were able to move
to localities where they could have
more breathing space and opportuni-
ties to expand. The telephone, con-
queror of time and space, has, as it
were. made a neighborhood of the
nation.
BY the early SOS the telephone was
taking its place as a real utility.
Local service was being constantly
developed and country districts were
beginning to realize the advantages
the wires offered of keeping in closer
touch with the towns and cities. Long
Distance service was also about to
become something more than name.
New York and Boston had been con-
nected by telephone in 1884 and grad
ually the lines were being pushed
westward until in 1892 Chicago talked
to New York for the first time and the
early vision Of Bell and his associates
of a service nationwide in character
seemed on the point of realization.
In the decade which then began, the
telephone made rapid progress. From

TELEPHONE LINE
FIRST TO LAND
FROM LEVIATHAN
Cable Connected Before Liner Docks
In New York-But Not In
England.

When the gigantic United States
liner Leviathan docks at New York
you can sit down at the telephone in
your stateroom and call up any one
of 100000 telephones scattered over
the North American Continent When
she docks in England, at the other end
of her voyage, you can't even tele-
phone ashore for a cab to meet you
at the pier.
This was cited recently by an Eng.
lish newspaper as an example Of
Britain's relative backwardness in the
matter of telephone facilities "All
the transatlantic liners are fitted
with telephone systems" says this
journel, the Dorset Daily Echo, Of
Weymouth, England. ''The Leviathan,
for instance, has telephone in every
stateroom, enabling passengers to con-
verse with anyone in any part of the
ship. And when these liners reach
New York the first cable thrown
ashore, before the ship has docked,
contains lead which is fitted into a
socket on the quay, and the ship is at
once in telephone communication with
the whole of America! Before the
ship stops passengers can speak from
their staterooms to their friends
ashore, can telephone their offices or
ring up hotels and reserve accommo-
dation. The same facilities are offered
at such comparatively unimportant
places as Buenos Aires and Monte
video. Yet at Southampton, Liverpool
or other British ports-among the
most important in the world-these fa-
cilities cannot be obtained"
The Daily Echo adds, however, that
their installation would be a very
simple matter" and concludes with
the hopeful statement that efforts are
now being made in England. "to edu-
cate everybody to clearer realization
of what the telephone means, It's in
fiuence on the national life, and the
ultimate extent to which it can be
utilized"

WHY w, J, r
AND M ARE USED
ON PARTY LINES

The letter w Outranks all the
other letters of the alphabet as to
the ease with which it can be un-
derstood, telephone engineers de-
clare.
In order to determine which let
ters carry best over the wires and
which are the least likely to be
confused with the digits of the
numbers or with other letters, the
entire alphabet was subjected to
elaborate series Of tests over tele-
phone lines by trained engineers.
The result was that the letters W,
], R, M passed the best tests in
the order given and they were sub
sequently selected for use as
suffixes for party line telephone
numbers. That is why these letters
are the standard designation for
party service in preference to other
letters of the alphabet.

NEW CABLE CONNECTS
ENGLISH AND DUTCH

So great has been the expansion of
telephone communication between
Great Britain and the continent that
a new submarine telephone cable has
been constructed between England
and Holland.
The new cable Measures Sc nautical
miles. It has 16 conductors with pa
per insulation and two lead sheathings
and will permit of IL simultaneous
conversations to be conducted. 1t
weighs 2,159 tons and was laid from
shore without the making OF a Joint

performance. The cable extends from

coast to Aldeburg, Suffolk.

cent. in population, the telephone in
the state grew to the extent of 2,30S
per cent. In the same period Indiana S
gain in telephones amounted to 1858
per cent. and Nebraska's to S2S per
cent. Other mid-western and western
states showed similar gains, which
have continued until today there is
scarcely hamlet anywhere in the en-
tire country without telephone connec-
tion with the main arteries, the trunk
lines of communication.
Another interesting comparison be-
tween population and the number of
telephones in the United States is
shown by the fact that in 1880 there
was one telephone to every 1864 in
habitants; in 1890, one to every 2S0
persons; in 1900, one telephone to
every 81 persons; in 1905, one to every
Il persons; in 1910, one to every 12
persons; in 1915, one to every 10 per-
sons, and today, one to every per-
sons.
Even at the present time telephones
are growing much faster in the United
States than is the population. The
population of the country is now in
creasing at the rate of one and one
quarter per cent. year, while tele-
phones are growing at the rate of
about per cent a year.

THE JEWETT COACH
A Handsome Car at a Very Low
Price

Hflce
Mr.. George Kerins, manager of
Kerins Bros, local distributors of
Paige and Jewett cars, who announ-
ced the new Jewett Six coach this
month, states that the new model is
the most sought after in the entire
Jewett line
"The price feature (only S55 more
than the open carr Of course, is a big
attraction" says Mr. Kerins. "We
have never been able before to offer
a closed car at a figure so close to
that of the open models.
''It is a beautiful car also, as all
agree who have seen it. This makes
it particularly desired by women
buyers. Women have formed more
than half of the interested prospects
that have been in to inspect the new
coach.
Their eyes reflect how pleased
they are with the back with its ball
ends, the rounded smoothness ofwhich
is carried from the beautiful round
ing curves of the radiator and hood
by the double bead molding. Doors
yard wide, offering quick and easy
access and egress appeal to women,
too. They open them and note how
easily it is to enter the rear seats
without causing the passengers in the
front to leave their seats.
The rOOmy feature generally gets
a remark from the man in the party
who appears to like the thought of
sitting in the rear and stretching his
legs at full length or at having a
place to put his golf bags and other
luggage without disturbing the five
passengers.
The children hang onto the wide
doors and swing back and forth get
ting lot of fun out of the sturdily
constructed entrance.
After one child had been swinging
back and forth several times his faith
er took note of the extra size hinges
and the solid manner in which they
were set. This solid construction to-
day is a common thing in Automobile
bodies.
''In the days of the old horse drawn
vehicle, the life of the carriage was
figured in years. When a rig covered
5000 miles year it travelled a whole
lot. After a score of years use peo-
pie did not expect very much more of
it.
To-day it is not rare thing for an
automobile to cover 10000 miles in
three years and people expect the
body to be as tight as the day it was
built. And they are getting bodies
built that way. This new Jewett coach
is one of the highest examples of such
construction on a medium priced car.
"The serviceability feature of the
new Jewett Six has already been
demonstrated. It's big six-cylinder
power plant is the same as was used
in a score of hill-climbs and road
races won on every occasion except
once when it was beaten by an eight
cylinder racing car.
'The heavy frame, balloon tires
and optional four wheel brakes, of
the hydraulic type, have made all of
the models big sellers here this year.
"When the new coach was added
this month we found that it was far
and away the most in demand. When
we asked the factory to increase our
Jewett coach allotment for May we
were informed that every other deal
er in the Paige and Jewett organiza-
tion had asked the same thing. While
we will have a fair-sized quota of
coaches for May, we have been forced
to inform prospects that it will be a
case of first orders placed, first cars
delivered'

Ekke lation, the telephone has
Al steadily progressed from it's
humble beginnings of 40 years ago
and has widened it's sphere of infiu-
ence until today the median points On
both population and of telephones are
only few miles apart. Considered at
first as nothing more than toy, the
telephone soon came to be regarded as
a luxury, while now it is an absolute
necessity without which modern bust
ness, commerce and social life could
exist only with difficulty.
Just to what extent the telephone
has contributed to the expansion of
the nation might be hard to deter
mine, but certain it is that without its
aid and security, rural communities
would scarcely have developed as
rapidly and as intensiyely as they
have done. Nor could larger towns
and cities have attained their great
growth If business had been obliged
to continue to be localized in one
central section. The telephone came
along, however, and its development,
together with the improvement in
transit conditions, enabled cities to
spread their industries and activities
out over a large area. No longer was
