RICHARDSON NAMED
AIRPORT ADVISER
Will Represent State in Capital;
Harding Issues Informal
ton on Projects

Seth w. Richardson. formerly Of
Fargo and now q Washington attor-
'ney, was appointed Tuesday by Gov
ernor william LANCER to act Is North
Dakota's representative at the nation
al capitol in negotiating for funds for
construction and improvement Of afr
ports in North Dakota.
The federal government has made
available 10000 900 for airports In the
| United States as part Of the civil
works program.
LANCER also named Murray Bald
win, Jr., head Of the aviation COM
mittee Of the chamber Of commerce,
Fargo, to take charge Of plans for
securing airports In every possible
place In North Dakota.
The governor said he was anxious
to obtain airports for every city and
town in North Dakota over 500 popu-
lation, but that he realized the ap-
preparation for that purpose is no
doubt limited. He informed Richard
son it probably will be necessary to
select only the most important places
for establishing airports.
Appointment Of Richardson was
made by the governor to comply with
request Of the department Of COM
merce at Washington that repre-
sentative be named to look after
North Dakota's interests In the allot-
ment of federal funds for airports.
Expect 5000 to $4,000
Fay Harding, president Of the state
railroad commission, said from 5000
to $4,000 viii be allowed on each pro-
Ject.
He urged cities and villages make
immediate application to the civil
works administration Of the depart
ment Of commerce at Washington for
airport funds, which are to be admin
istered separately from the general
civil works administration program.
Outlining the procedure In applying
for funds. Harding said the applica-
ton should be forwarded to the d.
rector of aeronautics, department Of
commerce, Washington. and q copy
sent to the state railroad commission;
the application should show the name,
title and address Of the city or coun-
! ty official designated to be authorize
ed to keep account Of the work and
disburse the funds; the application
must set forth full description OF the
airport, dimensions and exact loca-
ton Of the site with reference to
nearby towns, also the geographical
subdivision. The application should
be accompanied by map, drawn to
scale, showing the exact condition and
layout of the field at the present
time and giving a distinctive legend
Of the new work contemplated.
Any county or municipality may
make application for the money to be
spent largely, II not entirely, for la
Dor. Only small portion Of the
funds allocated to North Dakota may
be available for the purchase OF con-
struction materials, Harding said. and
assurance should be given that the
work will start as soon as authority
Is granted, to be continued until the
project IS complete.

Why the Sudden
Change to Liquid
laxatives?


Doctors have always recognized the
value of the laxative whose dose can
be measured. and whose action can
be controlled.
The public, too. is fast returning
to the use Of liquid laxatives. People
have learned that properly pre-
pared liquid laxative brings perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs Of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. 1t forms no habit; you
need not take double dose" day
or two later. Nor will mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The wrong cathartic may keep you
constipated as long as you keep on
using il.
Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
prescription, and is perfectly safe.
Its laxative action is based ON SIENNA
"a natural laxative. The bowels will
not become dependent on this form
of help. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
is at all druggists. Member N. r. A.

to par with modern long distance
service, this arrangement served an
urgent need at the time.
About 1915, the mayors of Ell Gen.
tro and Los Angeles participated in
the celebration which opened the
first line between valley telephones
and those of the outside world, fol-
lowing the establishment of long

"Bez" as he is affectionately
known in the local telephone ranks,

started back in Ell Reno, Oklahoma,
with the Pioneer Telephone and

coming to the valley in 1908. Al
though always busy man, he was
plenty busy when the earthquake
struck in 1915. Telephone service at
that time was operated from tenn

PIONEERS TELL EARLY HISTORY
Of TELEPHONE SERVICE GIVEN
IMPERIAL VALLEY RESIDENTS

Harking back to the days when
Ell Centre consisted of a box car
railway depot with two lonesome
STRIPS of optimistic sidewalk extend
ing a half mile along Main street,
bounded by nothing other than des-
ert scenery, and when long distance
calls went over barbed wire finces,
two well-known local pioneers ad-
ded their recollections of early times
herein interviews during the cele-
bration marking a. quarter century
Of telephone service in El Centro
and the thirty-second year of the
telephone in the Imperial Valley.
These men were w. F. Holt, who
was reached on the telephone in Los
Angeles, and j. F. Bezdecheck, in
charge of telephone construction
forces in the valley area.
Mr.. Holt, probably the most out
standing living pioneer developer of
The valley, brought the telephone to
this section in 1901. He laid out the
cities of Ell Centre and Holtville, the
latter which bears his name; built
the Barbara Worth hotel, establish
ed the first power and light COM
pand and ice refrigerating plants
and is otherwise identified with
much of the birth and babyhoou of
the valley communities. Although
his telephone interests were taken
over by other people after a few
years of operation, his recollections
of the early days of telephony in
this territory were vlvidly told.
"Durino ny lifetime have been
identified with many industries and
projects" he said, "but in all my
experience I believe the Imperial
Valley Telephone company in its
early days produced more grief and
trouble than any other undertak-
ing
He pointed out that the first tel
ephOne exchange was established in
Imperial in 1904 in the First NatioE-
al Bank building at Eighth and I'M
perial avenue, although Individual
lines were introduced as early as
1901. The first long telephone line
was built from Flowing Wells, a
station near inland on the Southern
Pacific, to the pioneer town of I'm
perial The idea was not to furnish
public telephone service as much as
it was to end the comparative iso-
lation of the Holt interests here.
At Flowing Wells, the telephone
messages were given to the railway
telegraph operator who relayed them
to their destination. Accordingly,
and in contrast to the development
of most sections of the nation, it is
noted that the telephone preceded
the telegraph in the Imperial Val
ley. AS the valley grew, however
other business and agricultural lea
ders clamored to have telephones
connected with this Imperial-Ni-
land circuit so that they, too, could
have contact with the outside world
Mr.. Holt allowed these connections
to be made until the number of SUBJ
scribers on the line became so nu-
merous that they interfered with
the quality of the service.
Subscribers Howl
Complaints began to roll in. Tho

Union and few others. The instru-
ments were of old type and of a ra-
ther hybrid variety. The transmit
ters and receivers were leased from
the Bell System, but the bell boxes
were purchased from an independ-
ent company.
In Brawley, service was establish
ed in 1906 in the tSahl Bros. general
merchandise store on the south side
of Main street between Fifth and
Sixth street. Mr.. Bezedecheck re-
calls that the first operator was i
Miss Pierson. At Imperial, a Miss
Miller and Mr.. Yeakle operated
the system, he said.
The beginning of long distance
service in the valley made interest
ing telephone history. The pioneer
long line from INLAND to Imperial
was later extended to CaleXico but
only after some novel and noble ex-
periments. One of these involved
sending the speech currents through
barbed-wire fence along the Sou
thern Pacific right of-way between
Imperial and El Centre.
Poles and wires were not available
at the time so Mr. Bezedecheck, who
was the district manager, construc-
tion superintendent, chief engineer,
installer and what t-have-you, hit
upon the idea of sending voices
through the fence-literally speak
ing.
Washing Vets Service
Everything was all right for q
time, but the experiment proved dis
astrous when Southern Pacific Sec
tion crews decided to do their fam
lily washing. Each time the damp
clothes were hung on the fence they
short -circuited the telephone lines
Proprietor BeZedehceck would take
one look at his testing instruments
then grab his gasoline railway putt
putt" and go hunting for the ILL
suspended night shirt, underwear ol
pair of damp overalls.
! AS the telephone traffic grew, the
/ fence on the other side of the rail-
read was utilized. Since there were
four wires on each fence it was pos
sible to create two talking circuits or
each side. Later on he even estab-
lished extra voice channels over the
barbed- wire by what telephone
engineers now call phantom cir
