Chilled Plows
Arc the Host that .Money and Skill can Procure
ONE reason why the South Bend Chilled Plow
runs easier, scours better and lasts longer,
than other makes of plows is that the Soutli Bend
Chilled Plow Co. hus a special process in casting
their shares, mould-boards and landsides by which
they upset the grain of the iron. so that the wear
comes the same as the wear on the end of a plank,
instead of lengthw ise, us nearly all other plows are
made.

WILL INSTALL CENTRAL
ENERGY SYSTEM SOON
PaclJc Tel. A Tel. Co. Assures
People Improvement Work
Is Scheduled.
the
L. A. Newton, special agent of tho
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co.,
hag just returned from an official trip
to Portland, where he has been In
consultation with leading officials of
his company relative to the Installa
tion of a new, and In every way mod
ern telephone system at Grants Pass.
Mr. Newton Is pleased to assure the
people of this city that active op
erations upon the construction of a
new central energy system for this
:ity will be begun as soon as mater
ials can be placed upon the ground,
together with a guarantee that said
system will be fully completed, ready
for operation, before the close of the
present year.
Grants Pass will have one of the
most up-to-date central energy
plants on the Coast. It will mean
an expenditure of at least $50,000
before the system is completed, a
large portion of which will be paid
to labor In this city, as a large con
struction crew will be In the field
continuously, overhauling the old
plant, taking down overhead wires
and Installing in their place aerial
cable. This cable Is composed of
small copper wire in pairs from 50
to 200 to the cable, which will
greatly reinforce the efficiency of
transmission, since copper Is a much
better conductor of electricity than
the metals In use under the present
system.
Perhaps It will be of interest to
the people of Grants Pass to know
that the many new features of this
new central energy system will do
away with a great deal of the annoy
ance necessarily caused by the pres
ent system for Instance, Individual
and two party lines will be Installed.
The party lines will be equipped with
selective ringing, that Is, In case of
a two-party line central should ring
for a subscriber, only one ring, and
that his own, would bo heard by the
party culled, thus doing away with
annoyance of hearing a ring for an
other party, and making tho service
like that of a one-party line in that
but one ring Is heard.
Making this change from the old
system, the abolition of all the old
style telephones and the placing of
new and up-to-date phones In their
places will be required and this
chango will necessarily consume a
considerable period of time.
Another feature of great advant
age of the central energy system
lies In the fact that It will no longer
bo necessary to ring for central, thus
causing delay and waste of time, but
the moment the receiver Is taken
down and placed to the ear central
is Immediately notified of your call
by a small lamp signal In the switch
board, the number desired Is given
you without the delay of the old sys
ti in.
The switchboard to l Installed at
Grants Pass Is to be of the very lat
est common battery type and when
completed will cost In tho neighbor
hood uf six or seven thousand dol
lars. This with a complete operat
ing force will certainly give this city
un excellent service.
In addition to these changes and
betterments above noted we might
say that the Pacific Tel. and Tel. Co.
have Installed a modern and up-to-
date telegraph system to work In
conjunction with their long distance :
telephone, and are at the present i
time employing two telegraph oper-!
ators in this work In addition to 1
their already large force of telephone
operators. Uy this means a long ;
distance call can be placed much !
more quickly than under the old ,
conditions, as the same lino con- 1
structed of heavy copper wires can '
bo used to telegraph when the cor
vvrsatlon Is going over the same,
and thus th telegraph operator at ;
place of destination can have your I
party ready for conversation before j
the same call could be plucod by
long distance telephone operator. j
The company hns recently com-!
pleted another No, 8 copper circuit j
to Portland, which will facilitate
the handling of long distance bus
Iness to the north, thus giving i
drants Pass three copper circuits
one local line and two through Hues
connecting San Francisco and the
Intermediate points to tho south !
well.
The company wishes to assure the
people of Grants Pass that thev
j have ever hern willing and anxloui
Jto give the city the best possible
.telephone system and lorrl'e. and
theno changes long contemplated,
would certainly hare been made
before this had It not been for the
panic of the past year and the strin
gency of the money market, thus
curtailing new equipments and lra
