WESTERN union
OFFICIAL TALKS
TO ROTARIANS

f. c. Vanderbilt, district super
intendent of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, was the prin-
cipal speaker at the Rotary Club
luncheon in the Barbara Worth ho-
tel yesterday, giving an excellent
address on the history and develop
ment of telegraph communications.
g lie pointed out the necessity for
superior service in both transporta-
ton and communication as being
vitally essential for the movement
of the perishable products of lmpe-
rial valley and gave interesting
statistics and figures on the present
extent of telegraph service.
The speaker pointed to China as
nation suffering from improper
transportation and communication
facilities, declaring there is not
more than 5000 miles of railway in
the entire country and less than
200 telegraph offices. In the Unit
ed States there are approximately
100000 miles of telegraph wire
the total for the world being 6,6oo,-
600 miles. The Western Union ope.
rates l.6O3,76 miles exclusive OF
submarine cables and 2S5,OOO used
exclusively by railroads. The com
panv handles approximately 200,-
600. 600 kilograms annually.
Vanderbilt s address was CLOSELY
followed by the Rotarians who found
it one of the most interesting ever

For a few seconds after its fall,

Then a guard stepped forward and

The body of Hickman rested
