MUCH SAID IN LITTLE SPACE
IN PORTLAND TELEGRAM'S
OREGON EDITION.
The Thanksgiving Oregon edition
of the Portland Telegram, issued
Wednesday evening, November 24,
was the 'best and most comprehen
sive description of .the state's re
sources and progress ever put out
by an. Oregon paper in the same
number of pages. The various In
dustries of the e bate were newly
written up, mot a rs-hash of old mat
ter, tout a truthful, up-ito-date and
well edited reusrne of the wonder
ful natural weaRh and. 'the progress
in the utilization of the resources
of .both East and West Oregon.
In addition to the special articles
finely illustrated on the principal
industries, several columns of de
scription of the state by counties are
given, in the main accurate and far
ahead of the county descriptions
given in the recent state pamphlet.
The one on Wallowa county Is In
correct in only one particular, rail
road transportation having reached
here only one year ago Instead of
two as stated.
The Wallowa county paragraphs
give a realistic picture of conditions
here In email space. They are
herewith re-printed:
"Wallowa To: al area, 1,883,000

IMMUNITY.
Andy Heavern; indicted' In the fall
of 1907 on a charge of stealing "
horse over on Snake river, was ar
rested in Joseph Thursday night by
Sheriff Marvin, and brought to En
terprise and lodged in Jail to await
his trial.
Heavern rode Into Joseph about
5 o'clock Thanksgiving afternoon
and soon after Sheriff Marvin was
notified by telephone of his presence.
Mr. Marvin answered over the phone
that "Heavern was not wanted,"
suspecting that the information would
reach Heavern. Sure enough Heav
ern was Informed of the reply and
when the sheriff reached Joseph he
found his man up town celebrating
his supposed immunity from arrest.

Two thousand three hundred and
fifty per cent, seems rather large
figures to be dealing with, even
when one to considering as broad
a subject as the increase in the
use of rural telephones. Yet It is
a fact that in the five year period
ending Dec. 31, 1907, the number of
'phone stations in the rural dis
tricts of the western states did Jump
2,350 per cent. In actual figures,
the eleven etate3 which constitute
this group had 2,509 country tele
phones at the end of the year 1902;
five years later they had 62,774.
These figures form the most strik
ing part of the latest telephone cen
sus. Statistics placed side by Bide
for comparison always epeak an In
teresting story. One may deduce
some telling facta from the following
table, showing Just how many rural
phones, each Western state had to

It must be remembered that the
telephone was no'hlng new In 1902.
It dates back to 1876, but Its marvel
ous popularity is of more recent ori
ginin fact is. within the memory of
all. Where once the telephone was
the luxury of the rich man, now It
Is utilized by thousands of plain
American farmers; who find it their
greatest convenience and business
aid. That is the story told by the
telephone census end there are1 many
other statistics of more than pass
ing interest.
In the United States in 1902 there
were 266,966 rural phone stations.
Five years later the census recorded
i,4b4,733, an increase of 449 per cent.
The number of farms in' the countrv
is. given as 5,535,614. i 1902 but 24.8
percent of the farms were equipped
with facilities for communication ov-
er the telephone wire. Five years
later the percentage was 26.5.
The state of Iowa on Dec. 31 1907.
showed 78.9 percent of Its farms us
ing the telephone. Todav unofficial
figures place the percentage at 85,
or the Increase in the number of
farm telephones has Kone on even
more steurt.'.'y since the latest cen.
