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. ,

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."
