New Equipment"
Additional Ions distance tele
phone c ircuits have just been pat
g operation direct from the Pa
ffKl northwest to San Francisco.
The "new circuits one from
Portland, another from Puget
sound provide an increase of 50
p-r ent in facilities for conversa
tion dftween Oregon and Wash
ington in the north and Califor

circuits for regular service from
Seattle to San Francisco and three
more irum rurtiauu iu siu rrso-
ciso.
The above announcement by W.
II. Dancy. Salem, manager of the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company, was accompanied by the
statement that in addition to in
creasing facilities for connections
between north and south, the
. quality of speech transmission will
be decidedly improved. This im
provement results from the new
and late equipment installed at
various points along the route
bringing into operation the latest
development in the art of long
distance telegraphy. . k
Important units of transmission
terminal equipment have been in
stalled in telephone buildings at
Taroma, Portland. and Sacramen
to. This work, recently finished,
is associated witb the additional
circuits an dis essential in making
the mservlceable.
At Eugene. Oregon, and also at
Roseberg other transmission
equipment has been provided to
contribute to the evenness of the
quality of long haul telephone
conversation. I
