provement Program.

Details of the augmented 1880 con-
struction program of the Chesapeake g.
Potomac Telephone Cos in the District
of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia will be developments Of
the next few months, and will continue
the company's policy of increasing ex-
panSion to keep pace with continued
prosperity in the territory served by
companies. Lloyd B. Wilson, president OF
the c. 8E P. Cos, declared to-day.
Announcement of contemplated ex-
penditures totaling more than $22 ,00O,-
600 for new telephone construction m
the territory of the companies was made
last night OF this amount about $3,-
SOC, 900 is to be spent in the District of
Columbia.
Mr.. Wilson said he could not at this
time make further announcement OF the
details Of the work, other than that the
new facilities to be provided will include
buildings, central office apparatus, local
and intercity telephone lines and other
equipment. The total amount to be
spent is $4,000, 1000 in excess of expendi-
lures for 1929, the companies announce
ment said, and is part of a five-year
program under which the companies
estimate they will spend approximately
500 ,000, 90 for new construction.
".rhe fact that the telephone COM
pany has a 100000, 900 construction
program to care for the anticipated
growth in the business is evidence of our
faith in the continued prosperity of the
territory served by the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co.," MIR. Wilson
said.
Eight million dollars will be spent in
Maryland, $6,200,000 in Virginia and
81 450, 900 in West Virginia. Important
p"ojects included in the five-year pro-
gram are about $4,000 900 for land and
buildings, $22, 2,500,0 900 for central ONCE
equipment and $l0,50O, 900 for intercity
toll lines and cables. In the latter item
much of the outlay is for placing the
toll-line systems in cables.
The contemplated expenditures are
based on an estimated gain Of 30,60C
telephones during 1880 and a gain oi
1851 900 telephones during the f1ve-yeal
period beginning with 1880. which COM
| pares with gain during the past five
| years of $4,000 telephones. This will
bring the total number of telephones ir
service up to 1000 at the end of 1884
1t was explained at the Offices of the
companies that while details of the new
work in the District of Columbia cannot
be made public at present, the expendi-
lures are in line with providing addi-
tional and better service for telephone
customers.

Quirements of Is years hence.

PLANE GIVES GLORY
TO ISOLATED TOWN
Tsitsihar, Manchuria, Shows
Decided Progress After Early
Life Marked by Fighting.

"The airplane put another little
known town on the world map when
Costes and Bellonte, the French long
distance flyers, landed near Tsitsihar,
Manchuria, about $50 miles northwest
of Harbin." says a bulletin from the
National Geographic Society.
"TsitSihar was built in 1892 to over
awe marauding tribes in the neighbour
hood. Since then 1t has been famous
for three thingS-flghting, cattle sales
and, more recently, as the terminus Of
the new China owned railroad which
approaches the town from the south.
Wars Featured Early Life.
"The native tribesmen were none too
peaceful in the early days of TsitSihar'S
life. Then China sent many of her
bandits into exile in Manchuria, which
made matters worse. The mixture OF
the groups forced the construction of
barracks and the detail of military units
to the town, so that it took on the
aspect of fortress.
''When the Chinese Eastern Railway
was built as a short cut between Chlta
and Vladivostok, Tsitsihar was settle
ment of ramShackle buildings. For
some reason the railroad builders missed
the town by laying the line few miles
to the south. Later, however, a spur
was built, so that Tsitsihar now can
claim a right to be implicated in an
other battle-the present miSunder-
standing between Soviet Russia and
China over the Chinese Eastern.
Few travellers visited isolated Tsitsi-
har before the railroad came. For
time those who did passed by collins
strewn outside the town walls-cofinS
of natives whose families were unable TO
pay burial expenses. Inside the walls
the travellers saw dingy panorama OF
shacks lining dirty streets.
Monaghan Border Nearby.
"Today TSitsihar is a busy town, in
terested in modern development. the
recently completed China-owned rail-
road which meets the eaSt-west Chinese
Eastern near TsitSihar, will add pres
tige to the community. Mills are grind
ing out meal as fast as soy beans can
be brought from the Manchurian fields.
Tile-roofed houses, with coats of paint,
are rising where old shacks once stood.
And the population of the town is mold
ing its own.
'Manchus, Mongols. Koreans and
Yakuts number about 10000 in Tsitsi-
har, and there is always handful oil
Europeans in the town. During fairs,
however, Mongol cattle lovers flock TO
Tsitsihar, nearly doubling the popuia+
ton. The Monaghan border Is about
225 miles to the southwest of the town.
"Tsitsihar is nearly on the same lati-
tude as Seattle, Wash, but the ther-
rnometers of the two places diverge. In
the Summer, the hot sun scorcnes
Tsitsihar, the thermometer rising above
o5 degrees. In the Winter, however,
the mercury backtracks until 1t reaches
40 degrees below zero"
