It has become not only the garden spot of the world, but. it has 1ecomewa ery important section-necessary to the balance of the worlds ; How has this been brought about? t - " : McCauley says: "Of. all, the in ventions, the alphabet. and the printing presi' - alohe excepted. those which abridge distance have done the most for civilization.' There are two important and necessary facilities which' makes it possible for any people and any section of the world to make' such wonderful ' nrnerresa - nod .' tttrides. and these two are transportation and communication.' ,-An interest ing speech could be made- upon that which has h&rtnened since the Invention of the -means o record ing speech and the conveying of thought to others, but I 'will de vote myself today to but one phase ot the subject. No country on the face of the globe sa been' so fav ored as has oar own couritry'wlth respect to transportaUon and com munication; the lack of which has impeded the progress of continent al Eu rope and co iln tries of the Far & Blast., Communication and transportation r go hand" in band with the advance of civilization and edncation. As an fllam na tion. Iris saldi "A tramp walking the ties of the railways of tChlna at the rate of 2 5. miles a day would be able to complete the job in less than ten months. Were he to un dertake the Job in America, Sit would take him 20 years, without a holiday." 4 ; While the United States is pre- parfoff for the continental anniver sary of the laying of its first rail, Szechuen, the Texas of China, has yet to lay its first rail. The nam ber of telegraph offices in . China is as limited as its miles of rail road. There are not over 1 2 00 offices in all of China. h ' Is Natural Outcome " ': ?

T'rom that humble beginning the elegrapJv has ..developed lnto a great network of: poles and wires whose- slender" threads of lron and copper reach into the uttermost parts of the earth binding the north and south, the east and west Into communication almost super natural. Out of this has grown a wonderful organization whose growth is vividly traced in this great country of ours. I speak of the Western Union, the greatest telegraph system in the world. To day the Western Union has over 1,600.000 miles of wire and 215,- 000. miles of pole line .connecting approximately 26,000 'offices In hamlets, villages and cities throughout the United States, and furnishes a communication srevice so universal as to comparable with that of the federal postofflce. The Western Union conducts this na tional telegraph system and sup plies over 85 per cent of the tele graph service In the United States The company employs over 60,000 people and annually handles mil lions ot messages. Its eight trans- Atlantic ocean cables of 26,000 miles further connect our 26,000 offices with 300,000 miles of cable! encircling the globe and reaching to all continents., ' ' ' : A comparison ot rate's in effect between,-the Pacific coast' and ihe east. 'during the pioneer days of the telegraph with present rates is CaltelneeRting'Up to 1S65 Jbe charge for 10 words .between coast and. coast was 4t.56rin 18.66 It was t.00;;in 1867 $2.50. The present rata lor fast - commercial day service is $1.20 per 10 words and 60c for' a night message of 10 words. A night letter of 50 words costs -the same as a 10-word day message. -: Wonderful Improvements Through the efforts of our en gineers that first type of instru ment which laboriously recorded that memorable message gave place to a highly efficient Morse equipment, but even that apparat us has been outdistanced in the rapid progress of telegraph evolu tion by tbe multiplex, the latest development. This apparatus is now' standard equipment for the hanilling of transcontinental and trunk line . traffic. The develop ment ot this apparatus and other operating methods have greatly increased the capacity of the wire plant, and it has therefore been unnecessary to add wire mileage proportionately with the expansion of traffic. -This' multiplex or auto matic system of telegraphy per mits of simultaneously-transmit-. ting over one wire lour-xaBSS&ses in each direction.: Today )trW large city Is c'ohnected iwith: other large centers by this automatic sys tem ot - telegraphy, .
