Ala8kan-Sn)erlan line was In pro
gress Cyrus Wl Field conceived
the' idea1 of lajlt? a cable across
the 1 Atlantic, 'he 1 project" ' was
laughed at. In a old book which
I, have in my library I found the
following poem by John G. Saxe,
who satirized the aitempt in these
words: . -
, uoia uyms rieid, he says, says
' he, - o,
- 'I have a pretty notion.
That I can lay a teleiraph
Across the Atlantic ecean.
'Then ait the people lahghed, and
said " . '
Wed like to Bee hlm'Io It!
He may get half seas over.
But he hyer can gp.thrtough it.'
i unhindered by ridiciile and
laugnter, however, --fielS went
ahead, and after-'several! unsuc
cessful attempts, on Julyik 1866,
the first cable' was completed and
communication - - established : . be
tween the United States and Great
Britain. i
There la an Id-fashioaed 4rint
in Harper's r. Weekly of .that day
which shows the' first cable office
at X95 Broad wayj New Yorkf City,
crowded with men In longfrck
coats and "tall -"stovepipe" hats,
the women in hoopsklrts and little
flat hats, 'sending cablegrams
across th Atlantic fo(r 11 per", let

'The operation of cables in those
early days was through the means
of a tiny Tef lection7 of light on

gave way to automatic cable iransi

during the Diamond Jubilee, San
Francisco and London were con-,
necfed directly and the Mayor of
San Francisco exchanged greetings
with the lord mayor of London
Other San Francisco business men
exchanged .messages with their
friends and representatives in Lon
don. Distance was annihilated.
The messages were sent and the
replies returned, immediately. The
chimes of f Big Ben," the clock on
Westminster, - wore reproduced :
over this circuit in San Francisco.

Today there are over 300 cables
owned Tyt cable companies which
tog. ther with quite a large num
ber of cables of lessor length own
ed by various governments, aggre

In the ! interests of increasing
foreign trade as well as increas
ing the business of the telegraph
company, our foreign representa
tives, have acted ia the same ca
pacity as ' consuls of the 1 United
States. For Instance, If a concern
In ' Salem i desires ,to -increase Its
business In the Argentine or Bra
til. torexample, a dealer in hops
may desire to extend bis business,
our representative in South Amer
lea will endeavor to secure a list
of those who, may be interested In
the Importation of hops. Thus,

eign business we are at the same
time "providing revenue for our

Recently had the pleasure of
listening tto the president of one
of the great trans-continental rail
roads " serving this section of the
country In which he called alten-
XioTL to. the fact that because of
the improvement in transportation
facilities, I whleh results in moving
shipments from coast to coast in
much shorter time, it was no long
er' necessary'f or merchants to or
der In large quantities, for new
stocks can how.be kept moving
and can j be '"secured daily. The
use of the telegraph also makes
this possible, for" that which he
needs totnorrow may be ordered
by the telegraph today. '
The merchant reduces his stock.
cutting down his investment, re
ducing his overhead, his insurance,
his taxes and his telegraph was to
be used lh case of emergency only.
Today It jis vitally necessary in all
business land in all walks of life.
The business man employs the tel
egraph to keep In constant touch
with his salesmen: the out of town
merchant uses the telegraph In
placing his orders, and through
its use and through quick trans
portation; facilities he finds it un
necessary to tie up large amounts
of capital.' The manufacturers,
jobbers,' and all classes of business
men have learned that the tele
gram possesses an attention-com
pelling rower. It goes direct to
thtfTnan jnteregtedr uisthe first
of all communications to receive
attention and never ; reaches the
waste basket. ; ' ;

the business man can create, con
serve; or cut out lost time in the
handling, of business during a
year's time that -would equal at
least 100 days, which could be
devoted to other pursuits ' or to-
further enlarging your: business.
He will demonstrate to you that
there " is "anr Immense amount "of
time lost in handling' important
communliatiohs by mail and that
Ibis" lost time means money.' He
will conclusively prove to you that
there is really little difference be
tween , the average xostof . a lele
gram and the cost for the produc
tion of letters' and that' this dif
ference is nothing compared with
the esults secured.

Girls! Try this! When combing
and brushing your hair, just mois
ten your hair brush with a little
"Danderine" and hrush it through
your hair. The effect is startling!
You can dress your hair immedi
ately and it will; appear twice as
thick and heavy, an abundance of
gleamy, wavy hair, sparkling with
life, incomparably soft, j fresh,
youthful.
Besides beautifying the hair, a
35-cent bottle of ; refreshing, frag
rant "Danderine? from any drug
or toilet counter will do wonders,
particularly it the ihair Is dry,
thin, brittle, faded or Btreaked
with gray from constant curling
and waving which burn the color,
lustre and very life from any
woman's hair.
"Danderine" acts on the hair
like fresh showers of rain and
sunshine act on vegetation. It
goes right to the roots, invigor
ates, nourishes and strengthens
them, stopping - falling hair and
helping the hair to grow thick,
healthy and luxuriant. Adv.
