Stone, wb*i ha* been b* -re nlxmt four year», although for part of that time he ha* l»m switched to oilier points. Lam Monday Mr. Htoiie cliinlied the dOO f<x»t tower and installed a nine wire umbrella aerial as an auxiliary to the main messenger wire to add capacity and aid in steady ing the “arc.” The aerial proper con sists of 1.3 wire* with a 72 foot spread. Mr. Stone was kiml enough to come down to earth long enough, in hie con versation with us, that he described the process of sending and transmitting a wireless message in simple enough terms for a layman to understand. The ether waves are formed ami sent out into space by an electric current through a carbon forming an arch upon the same principle that an arc light ia formed. As this leaves the station it is “chopped up” by the telegrapher’s key—not into sausage m»at Mr. Stone tell* us, bat into dots and dashes. When receiving, the operator “listens in” for signals from various distances away, by means of an apparatus tuned to certain distances, and when the call “K. F. U.” comes faintly over the wire, they tune up until they are in touch with the sending station. This station does a commercial busi ness exclusively, and makes a specialty of »|>eed ami economy. The addition of the umbrella aerial will ad 1 greatly t*> the steadiness of the arc ami assist in sending messages quickly. They do a large business with Seattle, San Fran cisco ami I-os Angeles, and their rates are cheaper than other lines such as ttie Western Union. The l<x*al bank sends messages over their line when ever they have stati ns at the point de sired to tie reached. The wholes lie Portland stores, grain mere ..ants, and banks of Portland do a large volume of their business through this point. Five minutes after a rnes*age is handed in here the me«*enger boy in San Fran- cis*> 1* on his wav to deliver it. Ten minute* are required for l»s Angeles, and fifteen minutes will send a message from Seattle to Los Angeles. ■ 'They handle but little transient work, but anyone in Seattle. San Francisco or Los Angeles could send a message to anv private resident in Lents and have it delivered quicker and more cheaply than by any other line. For efficiency Mr. Stone believes therei* not a station in existence that can beat the Lente station. Local lelephone Office. Lents lies a local telephone exchange, one of the six local exchange* of the Home Telephone Company, of which Sam Hill of “Good Roads” fame is chief stockholder. Presume ttiis has something to do with the expression “What the Sam Hill is the matter,” but if so its origin is lost in oblivion, for we can find nothing the matter with the service given by this company. The Lents office is in charge of Chief Operator Mrs. Lettie Cone, with her assistants, Mrs. Ella Marshall. Mrs. Emma Hotchkiss, anil Mrs. Norma Daniels. “Chief Operator” Cone state« that she has never had such a pleasant bunch of subscribers to deal with. She deciares there is not a grouch in the bunch—now. Asked what is the chief cause for complaint she state* that probably the greatest numlier of com plaint* come from parties who become disconnected owing to the down-town party accidentally knocking the dial, for it takes very little of a jar to throw the connection. Operators are very frequently blamed for this, when in reality they are innocent for the dial on the switchhoard is placed where it is practically immune from accidental knocks. Asked why local residents and busi ness men should take and keep a Home phone, Mr*. Cone gives the following reasons: First, this exchange is a local institution, run by 1 cal people, and helps to support local businesses Second, operators never listen on the line except in case of trouble. Third, it is the verv quickest ami easiest method of calling local business firms, for al most all of them have the H me phone, anil at present all that is necessary is a polite request for the firm, it is not as yet necessary to ask for them by num- l»er. The automatic line only come* as far as Tremont at the present rfllie, but when thi* is extended to Lents, the full benefits of the Secret Service so ‘ conspicuously advertised by the Home 1 Telephone Company will be given, but when that occurs it will be necessary to : call by number, without the assistance I of the operator to work the dial. Fourth, it offers the very quickest way 1 to turn in a tire alarm, for the local “Hello” girl has a button furnished whereby she may turn in an alarm and start the siren blowing. Fifth, Sam!
