By this Is meant on In which prac-. ttcally ail open wires, cross arms and excessive euylns" of poles required In a less modern nlant are done away with, The wires are inclosed In a leadton cable of -suoh else to accommodate t put number of -pairs, from 10 to as many as (00. The cables are suspended on poles without cross srms and the wires, thus protected; ars free from the many an noyances, difficulties and obstructions always present' with open wire construc tion.

The American Bell Tela phone Company, relylns; upon Its monop oly in th field and the adjudication of Us patent rights, put aside the Idea of making- Improvements to gtvs Its pa trons good telephone service, and de voted Its entire energy for almost 20 years to th organisation and perfec tion of a gigantic monopoly of the busi ness. As a result, the old companies ars handicapped in having., large Invest ments In out-of-date and unwleldly equipment, scattered all over the United States.

Bumslde street, ' la a steel- And rein forced concrete construction and abso lutely fireproof The upper story will be Used for the automatlo switches, dis tributing boards and central : energy plant. ' There will : be ' over 10,000 switches at ones placed In commission. Ait important operating feature In con nection with the use of the automatic Instrument Is that there is no limit to the number of subscribers that emn, be accommodated. pany- of Portlan4 wtll h the larrest In the world equipped with an all-cable system, which Is peculiarly adapted to the requirements of the automatlo in strument, ' Sasy to Operate It, The subscriber with this telephone operates a dial and calls the telephone of the person wanted. Upon the dial are the figures so, arranged that the subscriber Is able to call the number desired, and after the dial rotates to the last figure, after making the required number of electrical contacts, a button Is pressed and the bell of the telephone wanted Is signaled. 1If the line Is busy, you get a musical ' response from the "Busy Buss." and you know It is the truth. Operation of the Automatic Is so simple a child can use the telephone. A blind man at Riverside, California, has no difficulty In Its dally use. The for eigner, struggling with our language. has found a friend in the Automatlo Telephone, as this machine has no trouble In understanding his "broken English." The electrical power used In talking and ringing Is supplied from the central office and not from the batteries which form the unsightly bulk of ap paratus placed In offices and homes by the old system. If accidents befall the line, a signal is automatically given at the szchangs office, , ,. It has been demonstrated beyond question that, after the people become acquainted with . the excellent service rendered by ' the Automatlo Telephone, they will absolutely refuse to use any other. The so-called "girl-less' central or switching apparatus is an Automatlo mechanism - which performs Its func tions and unfailing accuracy. This little machine has no moods: never tires, gossips, visits, listens or Ilea. But best of all. It does away with all human agencies, and the servlc rendered Is absolutely secrst. There ars no "leaky" party lines. , , Handsome Building. : . The Homo Telephone Company Is con structing Its main office and exchange at Park and Burnaide streets.

The Alblna exchange will accommo date the equipment of the Long Dis tance Telephone company, which will reach ' the city - subscribers through trunk lines, thereby avoiding the high tension currents In the heart of the city and securing clear lines for long dis tance service. Kwk Wire VndsrgTouad. The Home ' Telephone company has placed more., undergrounds construction In the otty than Is required by its fran chise. There are about 11,000 miles of copper wire!, underground, with almost as much th aerial cables In the system. There are 130.500 duct feet of conduit and 06.000 lineal feet of trench In the underground system, and Portland manufacturer has furnished all the ma terial used... , The company, having been refused a franchise by the common council of the city, submitted, at great expense and inconvenience. Its case to the people at the munloipal election, held last June- and a right to do business was granted the company by an overwhelming ma jority. A total of 11,104 people voted for it and 80S against it. - The policy of the ' Home Telephone company la to enlist the encouragement and substantial support of local people In the operation of Its Business. Al ready a great number of Portland people have taken substantial- holdings. The Home Telephone companies of Los An geles, Ban Diego and other points In California, as well as la the eastern and middla states, can be referred to as showing that the policy of this com pany is well advised. . Some Zndnstriee ltronisd. In the construction of the plant, Port land industries affording materia) and labor have been patronised. Nothing that can be obtained in Portland is sought elsewhere. The National Securi ties company of Ixs Angeles and the one most Interested In th construction and management of this plant Is repre sented by Louis J. Wilde, who has of fices in the Lafayette buUdlng, corner Washington end Sixth streets. J; The temporary headquarters of the Home Telephone company is at No. 106 Colum bia building, and the warehouse Is lo cated at Thirteenth and Johnson streets.' The construction work is In charge of William M. Godfrey. The Home Tele phone company Is an Oregon corporation with its principal place of business -At Portland. It Is now constructing an in dependent plant at Albany and has franchises at Balem and other points in the Willamette valley. ' .- , About 0,000 subscribers have been al ready secured and the management Is receiving applications rapidly for an early Installation of the new service this fall - i Fanners who have heretofore been re fused telephone service and connection except on an unfair basis, with the Old company,- are welcoming the telephone competition. - - - - The ' Northwestern Ixmg ' Distance Telephone company1 has been organised and is prepared to construct Jong dis tance lines from British Columbia to California, Work wtll be commenoed in the Willamette valley and - between Seattle and Portland, so that when the automatlo system Is "cut In" at Port land, long distance service will be avail able to these points. .
