BELL'S PLAVTOY NOW
IMPORTANT FACTOR
In just a little more tnan the span Cf
a generation the telephone industry
has developed from a toy to an essen
tial Industry uniting all our comercial
and social activities. The growth of
this toy has been remarkable, but it
has always had to struggle hard mere
ly to keep pace with an ever-increas
ing demand for service. We frequent-
ly nee statistics concerning the tele
phone art and its growth, but few are
able to comprehend the prodigious
figures displayed. From one instru
ment in 1875, the telephones has grown
- until there are in use today in the
United States over 13,600,000 instru
ments, acording to a survey made by
the Bell Telephone company which
has been received by T. V. Yanney,
manager of ihe local plant.
If these instruments wtere placed
side by side, they would span a dis
tance greater than a line drawn from
New York to Chicago. Placed on end.
these instruments, if of the desk type.
would tower to a height greater than
17,200 Wool worth Buildings.
Scope is Colossal
Over 12,800,900 of these instruments
can be connected together through the
exchange and toll lines of the Bell Sys
tem. With these instruments are asso
ciated central offices, poles, wire, un
derground and overhead cables, etc
There are nearly 15,000,000 poles in
use at the present time, or enougli
poles to erect a st'.K-katie two-thirds of
the way across the United States
There are 31,000,000 miles of wire
connected to the plant at or enougii
wire to span the distance between th:
earth and the moon more than 107
times.
Many people think that the opera
tion and maintenance of a telephone
system requires the constant expendi
ture of large sums in the purchase of
. materials. As a matter of fact, not
mora than 15 cents out of each dollar
spent by telephone companies for
operating expenses is spent fcr mater
ials. On the average, 63 cents out ot
each dollar is spent for wages. Thus,
labor is by far the biggest item in the
cost of operating telephone service-,
and ihe human element is Involved to
a high degree in all telephone prob
lems. To operate efficiently an economi
cally the exceedingly intricate mech
anisms of which the modern telephone
system is composed, requires, from
top to bottom, a carefully trained anil
, skilled force drawn from the most in
telligent and alert classes of the popu
lation. In fact, practically all tele
phone workers may be classed as ex i
perts
Skilled Men Trained
During the war, a very large num
ber of skilled telephone men enter
ed the Signal Corps and other
technical branches of the army and
navy; and, whereas in many lines of
Industry, war-time expansion has re
sulted in a surplus at the present time
of both plant and labor, yet in the tel
ephone industry there is a scarcity
rather than a surplus ot skillod work
ers Constituting a highly trained and
especialized group, telephone workers
are entitled to the 63 cents out of each
dollar of expens-es which now goes as
their share.
So much of the plant of the present
day telephone system is concealed
from the eye of the casual observer
that it i difficult for the average ni.m
to visualize the enormous amount of
telephone equipment required ade-
qeuately to serve the putlic reads. It
is with surprise that we learn theru
is in the United States enough under
ground duct space to carry cables of
sufficient length to reach more than
six times through the center of the
earth from pole to pole. Yet such ti
the fact. And the buildings required
to house telephone apparatus and
furnish telephone offices, if brought
togerher, would form a city larger
than Richmond, Va.
Cost is Great
This plant has cost an amount of
money which it would be difficult to
picture mentally, had the war not par
tially acustomod us to figures run
ning into the billions of dollars. If the
telephone had been invented in th'?
year 1, instead of in the year ls76, and
if $J.00 a minute had been spent for
the installation, - extension, and Im
provement oi teiepnone plant evi-.r
since that year, the aggregate expendi
tures for telephone plant would have
been considerably less than the sum
which has actually been spent in the
United States in the last forty years
This is another way of saying that
over $2,000,000,000 is now invested in
telephone plant in this country
Moreover, the public needs for tele
phone service are so great and so in
sistent that at the present time new
telephone plant is being installed at a
greater rate than ever before.

Cranberry Harvest
Is Well Under Way
ILWACO, Wash.. Sept. 30. The Pa
cific Cranberry Exchange is now snip
ing berries from the cranberry dis
tricts at the mouth of the Columbia
River in car lots . The first shipments
include a car to San Francisco, a car
in Seattle, and a oar to Los Angeles.
Tis is the first sea-son in which car bt
shipments in this quantity have mov
ed so early.
The cranberry growers are making
an effort to market the very tender,
varieties which are not as good keep
ers as the later berries, and for this
reason are making the special price
to the trade. Reports from the East
indicates a very short crop. Later
estimates are still further reducing
the expected crop, particularly in the
big cranberry producing districts in
Massachusetts, where a 25 shortage
since the September 1st estimate is
admitted.
There will be few. if any. Easteru
berries in the early Pacific Coast mar
kets this year. These markets will be
supplied almost entirely by Pacific
Coatt grown cranberries.
A very unusual feature of the se'ling
campaign inaugurated by the Pacific
Coast cranberry growers is their urg
ing the thrifty housewife to put up
her winter supply of cranberries at
this early date, for the history of the
cranberry market of the past ten years
clearly indicates a gradual step up of
the season i-rogreses, due entirely to
he fact that there is a certain Iocs :r
shrinkage for which the grower? mus.t
recompense himself by advancing the
price.
?. be consumers now have the advant
age of purchasing cranberries cheaply
and getting the tull oeuefit of '.he com
paratively low price, whins ti:e grower
')ses nothing. Real economy is af
fected by this unusual marSet proce
duie to the benefit of the- thrifty
