Peoples, wife ot Don H Peoples, died In Bend last Thursday after a short Illness. Before moving to Bend, about three years ago, Mr. Peoples was en. Supplying Telephone Service Occasionally subscribers move and ask us tor a continuance of telephone ser vice at their new location. They may be told that compliance with their desires It Immediately Impossible owing to lack ot "telephone facilities" In a particular local ity. "Why," one will say, "the poles and wires are on tilt street and th house Is already wired." , , ','( '.. We wish that the problem were as simple as It sounds. There msy be poles and wires, but every wire may bo In use in gjvlng service to others. There may be a cable, but every circuit in It muy bo aaslgned to telephones already Installed. There may be a telephone in the vacant house or apartment to which you move but no spare wires and circuits from your house to the central office. Titers muy even be sections of switchboard In the central office but not available for operation on account of the lack of necessary switchboard apparatus, such as ringing keys, relays, etc. , The reason for the shortage of telephone equipment Is simple. During the war period we were unable, to maintain our reserve or stock plant as the same materials .we use were required and taken tor Government purposes and for Industries properly favored by the Government. Since the war, with the unexpectedly prolonged prob lems o reconstruction, production ond delivery of materials needed to meet even current demauds have been delayed. Every business concern Is having similar ex periences. The manufacturers of telephone equipment have been bending every effort to fill our orders, but they, In turn, are meeting the same difficulties In se curing rubber, paper, silk, glass, porcelain, tin. thread, shellac, metal parts and other articles not generally associated In the public mind with telephone service. At the tame time with this abnormal alluatiou with reference to materials there exists an unprecedented demand for telephone service, and even under these circumstances our record is one of fulfillment ot demand. In the first nine months ot 1920 we made total net gain ot over 7300 telephones lu the State ot Oregon. A fact worthy of consideration In our operations It the large number of telephones handled In proportion to the net Increase. In those Bin months we disconnected, connected and moved 41,140 Instrument to teenre tlM net gain above mentioned. We desire to give service at much as a patron wishes to receive It Wa desire to promptly comply irlth the suggestions of public authorities who have taken a proper interest in the situation. We are fatting abnormal conditions, but we art trying to overcome our difficulties. , Tjfie Pacific Telepone and Telegraph Co. gaged in the abstract business In this city, and both he and hit wife were very well known here.
