Installation of New Automatic
System in Mount Scott District
Entails Big' Lot of Hard Work.
Extensions of the Portland' tele
phone servlc estimated to cost the
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph com
pany millions of dollars, are being
planned, according to C. Hickman,
division superintendent of the com
pany. Saturday night the new auto
matic exchange in the Mount Scott
district was opened with initial
equipment to give service to SSOOsub-
"soribers. Only 1500 were transferred
from the present Tabor office at
this time because of a ' shortage of
outside cable facilities. The tele
phones connected to the new ex
change have been assigned num
bers consisting of five numerals, the
numeral "6" being first In each
Instance. ' '
The new automatic telephones are of
the same else, but lighter in weight than
the""present manual telephones. The new
desk telephones have a small dial at
the base of the instrument, and but for
this dial subscribers would not realize
a change has been made.
TYPE IS DISTINCT
These new instruments are-of a type
which cannot be used irt the districts
eerved by the older automatic central
offices.
By meins of special apparatus re
cently installed and now in service, all
subscribers to the automatic central of
fices in Portland are furnished with
what la known as "machine .ringing";
that is to eay, when a connection Is
completed from any telephone to an
, automatic telephone, the bell at the
called automatic telephone Is operated
by a special " machine. It is not neces
sary for the calling party to use the
push button on his automatic telephone.
This improvement enables a calling
party ' to hear an Interrupted bussing
sound on the line which indicates that
the bell of the called party is being rung.
With machine ringing the bells ring two
seconds with a silent interval of four
seconds between ringa.
BIKOINO' INDICATED
On "two-bell ringing" the signal is
one second ring, one second interval, one
second ring and then three" seconds in
terval. This enables subscribers to know
the bell of the called party is being
lung. "
To open this new office the telephone
company was able to - obtain 3000 feet
of 900 pair cable and had it shipped to
Portland from Chicago by express. The
express charges alone amounted to ap
proximately $5000.
The work necessary to open the new
office was. according to the oldest em
ployes of the company, a most difficult
task,' it being the first time in the his
tory of "the company that It was neces
sary to place two telephones in each
residence or place of business pending
the opening of the new automatic office,
after which the manual telephones will
be removed.

' Washington. Dec. 4 We can fi
nance a 126.000,000.000 European
war; we can. finance European fov
ernments to th extant o( another
$10,000,000,000; we can supply more
than a billion of funds to American
railways; v" we'. '-can;, furnish month
after month other billions of credit
for ; wild ana woolly speculation! but
we have -no money to lend to. the
farme,r;nor to save from bankruptcy
the men who have Invested their all
in wooL their cotton, their livestock
or their grain, the victims of car
shortage and demoralised no-bottom
markets,
'We can supply Wall street with bil
lions for gambling ; we can furnish more
than a billion in government funds to
support a broken down transport sys
tem : we can and are . financing the
profiteering sugar farmers of Cuba dur
ing- their market crisis, but we cannot
help the American farmer who is feed
ing our nation at prices far below the
cost; of production.
SATS SYSTEM FAFLTT
This all shows how faulty is a credit
system which cannot finance American
industry, which produces $20,000,000,000
of new wealth in food and raw material
and which provided Wall street with
2 hi billion for specuation on 42 different
days this last year, according to ' the
report -of John Skelton Williams, comp
troller of the treasury.
It appears that the secretary of the
treasury, the same treasury which ad
vanced the railroads $1,031,899,451, and
the federal reserve system, which has
an unused lending power of $750,000,000.
which couid be. raised to 2"4 billion, are
both unable to provide a few million
for an $80,000,000,000 industry which
makes possible our national prosperity.
Every j day we read of "bank credit
being overstrained" for farmers, wool
growers. stock producers and wheat
raisers, when we can learn on the same
page of the paper that four issues of
foreign securities aggregating $42,000,
000. were Quickly sold in one week.
mt;st PEir markets
' What k commentary ! American finan
cial support is prompt to rescue the
Cuban planter, but not to the men who
produce the food on which we live. And
on June 30. last, the assets of American
banks. Including the combined assets
of alii other leading nations, bad a total
of more than $53,000,000,000.
There is something the matter with
a credit system which works as unrea
sonably as that. Secretary Houston does
not approve of the war finance board,
but he might as well reestablish the
War i Finance corporation to finance
