gon City was established in 1S93 by
the Oregon Telephone and Telegraph
Company to connect local business
people to the toll line which had pre
viously been built between this city
and Portland. Construction of this toll
line was one of the first developments
of the telephone industry in this state,
as it was built in 1879 along the west
bank of the Willamette river by the
Oregon and California Railway Com
pany. Shortly after its completion it
was taken over by the Oregon Tele
phone Company and as its use in
creased, it was necessary to establish
a local exchange to bring the service
to the users' place of business. At this
period of development the telephone
was classed as a luxury and local calls
were few in number, in fact the total
number of subscribers in 1896 was but
thirty-three. Durin g the following
year, however, the demand for service
began to increase and it was found the
first switchboard had been outgrown.
The office was then moved to a new
locality and a switchboard with one
hundred lines installed.
Development Is Marked
Another state of development was
reached in 1905 when the open wires
on the principal streets were replaced
with aerial cable. In 1906 the central
office was agin moved, this time to its
present location and common battery
equipment was installed,, including a
complete No. 9 switchboard with five
positions, the installationg being com
pleted early in 1907. During that year
the growth was very rapid and before
its end the orders for new farmer
lines had so geatly increased that
central office equipment for twenty
additional lines were needed. In 1909
another section of switchboard was
placed in service, aerial cable was
strung to Gladstone and plant facili
ties with which to furnish telephone
service at that town. The year 1910
saw service extended south to Cane-1 homes and are a part of the city's so
mah and a one-hundred-pair cable cial and business life. These operators
strung across the river to West Linn I are serving the city's telephone users
The development since that time
has been gradual until recently when
it was found necessary to again in
crease the central office facilities by
installing two toll switchboard posi
tions, one rural switchboard section
and facilities for taking care of one
hundred additional subscribers' lines.
There was also installed in 1921 a new
modern ring equipment. In 1906 a com
peting exchange . was established
which continued in operation until
1919 when it was absorbed by The
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
Company and the old competing plant
dismantled. The. consolidation of the
two systems was brought about prin
cipally by the. ' economic principle,
which makes of the telephone a na
tural monopoly.
Service Is Praised
Oregon City's present day telephone
service is well cared for by a force of
courteous, conscientious employees
who have indicated their loyalty to
their company and their faith in its
management by subscribing for 68
shares of American Telephone and
Telegraph Company stock.
The Pacific Company provides its
employees the privilege of buying this
capital stock at a favorable price on
an installment basis of payment and
that it results beneficially to those
availing themselves of it is evidenced
by the thrifty results in the Oregon
City office. The savings of the em
ployees as represented by the present
market value of these 68 shars of
stock is more than $8160.00.
It now rquires a total of twenty-two
employees to operate the local office,
whose efforts represent a ' monthly
payroll of approximately $2500.00 Of
twenty four hours every day of the
year, working in shifts of eight hours
each and handling an average of 7000
local calls and between 1100 and 1200
incoming and outgoing long distance
calls daily, with a degree of accuracy
and dispatch that is almost unbeliev
able. 1535 Patrons Served
These calls originate or terminate
at the 1535 telephone stations now
served from the Oregon City exchange,
stations representing a ' development
and growth that has kept pace with
the city's growth and business activ
ities until today the telephone ha?
become a public necessity, not alone
in the office, the store and the manu- '
facturing plant but also in the home,
on the farm, in fact everywhere that
men gather for business or social in
tercourse. The present local develop
ment has been actuated by a faith not
only in the telephone and its physical
possibilities but in the integrity and
future of Oregon City. The Pacific
Company has a present investment of
$130,000.00 in its equipment and plant
required to furnish telephone service
to this city and must keep adding to
this investment that it's plant and
equipment may always be just in ad
vance of the city's progress. Already
this year over $2500.00 has been spent
for this purpose. Were Oregon City's
business at a standstill, were there
no visible future for the city, the pres-,
ent telephone plant would need no ad- -ditions.
The development of ten years
ago would now be sufficient. But the
Telephone Company believes in our
future and has tangibly expressed that
belief in its buildin program and im
provements outlined for their local ex-
these, sixteen are operators, young change both in the past, a realized be
ladies who come from Oregon City lief, and for the future. '
