not only the garden spot of the

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

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 '

amusing to know something re
garding the operation of that first
line and something regarding the
revenues as compared with those
of ! today. From April 1st. to 4th,
the cash receipts were 1 e-V This
munificent sum was received from
a United States senator." Congress
had fixed tolls to be charged at a
rate of a half cent for eoah char

in actual -operation, and as usual
with those impressed with the in
portance of- their position, he de
sired to be saown without cost.
This the -operator refused to do.
saying thas It would be a violation
of i his oath to -che "government.
The senator had nothing less than
a twenty dollar bill, other than a
copper cent. - The operator con

. T'rom that humble beginning the

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., ' ' '

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
