"THURSDAY MARCH 2fl, 190$, A PUBLIC UTILITIES f f Report of American Telephone and Telegraph Company. PUBLIC CONTROL ENDORSED The Company Has a Total Mileage of Wires in Use for Both Exchange I and Toll Service of 8,610,592. Over , 1,000,000 Were Added in 1907. i WASHINGTON, Mar 25.-The largest utility company in the world, the American Telephone & Telegraph Company, takes the lead of its class in following the new policies of the iftrgest industrial company in the world, the United States Steel Cor poration, and the largest railroad company, the Pennsylvania, in jac- cepting the views of President Roose velt in regard to corporation manage ment, responsibility and regulation. Mr. Theodore N. Vail, president of the telephone company, has present ed a report to his stockholders cov ering the first year of his administra tion and reviewing the thirtieth year of the Bell organization. This report could not have come from an American corporation in any other era save the present Mr. Vail gives practical support to the Roose velt doctrine of physical valuation, as a basis for establishing fair earn ings and of improving relations with the public, by applying its test to his own company, and shows that the physical valuation of the Bell system is 34,431,000 in excess of the obliga tions in the hands of the public, in cluding capital stock at par. f Equally surprising, however, com ing from a corporation source, are Mr. Vail's views' in regard to public control which are made all the more interesting by the fact that they re ceive the endorsement of his board of directors. Discussing the failure of competi tion in the telephone field, Mr. Vail says frankly: "It is contended that if there is to be no competition, there should be public control. "It is not believed that there is any serious objection to such control, provided it is independent, intelligent considerate, through and just, recog nizing, as does the Interstate Com merce Commission in its reports re cently issued, that capital is entitled to its fair return, and good manage ment or enterprise to its reward." The Bell system showed a notable increase during the past year despite the panic In toll lines alone 8-349 miles were added which would give a line - from the north pole to the south pole along the earth's axis, making a total of 163,218 miles enough to put six poles abreast around the world, with seven poles abreast for one-half the distance. The total number of miles of wire used on toll lines increased 202,908 in 1907,-giving the surprising total of 1,664,081, which would give 66 lines of wire around the earth at the equa tor, with enough left over to put London in telephonic communication with Pekin. But these totals are as nothing compared to the tigures of the exchanges of the Bell companies in the United States, exclusive of toll lines. Exchanges increased by 219 during 1908 as compared with 1907. The total mileage of wire in use for both exchanges and toll ser vice was 8,610,592 miles, of which 1,141,687 were added during the dull year of 1907. These figures do not include the miles of wire operated by sub-licenses. Net earnings increased largely, but the dividend payment made only a small advance. The number of stations at the end of the year operated directly by the associated companies which consti tute the Bell system in the United States was 3,035,533, an increase of 308,244. In addition to this number there were 755,316 exchanges and toll stations connected to the system by toll and Long-distance lines, but operated by local, co-operative and rural independent companies or as sociations having sub-license or con nection contracts. Adding also the telephones employed for private-line purposes, there was a total of 3,839,? 000 stations connected to the Bell system as against 3,070,660 stations at the close of the previous year, an increase of 760,340 stations. , BORDEAUX MIXTURE (Continued from page 2) Lane's Family Medicine is a tonic laxative. It does not depress or weak en, but imparts a feeling of buoyancy and strength that is delightful. At all drugggists 26c. , plants, with the exception of the peach, unless it may be early in the spring when very slight injury was produced. Tor use upon the peach each gallon of solution should be diluted with at least 20 gallons of water. - For the experiments with Apple scab a block of 400 Yellow Newton trees were selected because this vari ety is particularly susceptible to this disease and because this block was known to be badly infested. The entire orchard ts sprayed with lime-sulphur for San Jose Scale late in February. The orchard was then divided into two plats. One plat was sprayed with Bordeaux upon April 20, May 8 and May, 17. The other plat was sprayed upon the same dates with lime-sulphur solution dil uted 1-15. Unsprayed trees, were left as checks in each plat At picking time the fruit was care fully gathered, examined and separat ed into three grades to show percent of fruit absolutely free from scab, slightly scabby and badly scabbed. It was then regraded to show per cent of fruit injured by spray. The summing of results is shown Column marked A, shows per cent of fruit from scab; B, that showing onlv small scab spots; C, that badly scabbed and unmarketable; D, shows sprays injury. Unsprayed A 19.9, B 2&7, C 51.3. D a Sprayed with Bordeaux, A 49.9, B 35.4 C, 15,5 D, 31.9. Sprayed with Lime-sulphur, A 79.3, B, 15.3 C, 5.3 D, 0, It must be remembered in inter preting these results that they re present only one season's work upon one variety, but when taken with the results that have been obtained in spraying other plants they certainly point strongly to the conclusion that lime-sulphur solutions may be a sat isfactory substitute for Bordeaux for summer spraying as they are now for winter applications.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills. Here is proof in Astoria. Mrs. E. Haggblom, corner Ninth and Harrison streets, Astoria, Ore gon, says: "For 10 years I suffered acutely from kidney trouble which gradually grew more severe until I was on the verge of physical break down. I was losing flesh rapidly. My back was so weak and painful and I suffered from such severe dizzy spells that I could hardly get around. At last I was forced to take to my bed and remained there for a long time. My kidneys were irregular in action and the secretions so profuse as to cause me a great deal of suffering. At last I decided to try a good kid ney remedy. I procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and the results that followed their use were most satisfactory. I continued using them and it was not long before I was completely cured. I have used Doan's Kidney Pills on some occasions since, to keep my kidneys in good order and can conscientiously say I have not had any recurrence of the trouble Doan's Kidney Pills cured me."
