WORK BEING RUSHED The Telephone People Busy and Pa trons Highly Pleased With ..... SfJtm. Ti e handsome -t thing in the way of switchboards that has ever been seen in this section arrived Wed nesday and has been placed in po sition in the Independent Telephone office.- s As it stands, the new swjfchi boar.l cost $1381 80. It is qttalftef sawed oak; aud in appearance re sembles a piano, ' although some what smaller in size. When com plete the office equipment will have cost the Independent compa ny $2500, '. or considerably more thaa the system promised th9 com pany was to have cost CorvallU. This is the ro al way in which Mr. JD.-Var ey ha kept faith, nd the 1. alrons of the new tin should feel great pride in having such a spleu- didly equipped oihee aod on-; of the best 'system on this coast. One of the peculiarities of the new system is, th.t when a. patron rings his bell, the fact that he is on the line is made known in the central office by the illumination in colons of a certain one of a s't of glis buttons, one large button, called the pilot light, calling the attention of cen tral" to the fact that some one of the smaller lights is burnirg. Whe the p rties cease conversing, the- lights go out and the butt, ns lose their color and ' remain white, thus telling central, witt out her go ing into the conversation, that the two talkers are off the line In this way central heed not be a liste ner to any patt of the conversations that are carried on over the phones. There are two systems in the new office. The farmtrs or rural lines have what is known as the magnet ic system, with numbered drops as the Bell system uses. The city telephones. are 00 the central ener gy system, but the two systems are easily and quickly connected so that all rural patrons are in instant communication with places of busi ness in Corvallis. The power board of the new system is also in position. It is of marble, 6x4 feet in size, and cost $201.10. There are now 42 telephones up on the rural ljnes, and 175 city .instru ments have already been received. When completed, the new Inde pendent system in Corvallis will te all, if not more, than had been hoped by patrons. By the last of next week it is thought ; that ev erything will be in working order. , ' ' ForSale- First i lass cedar posts for sale. ' B. F. Ireland & Bro. Corvallis RF D No 4.
