PHOTOGRAPHS.BY WIRE LONG A POSSIBILITY-NOW AN
ESTABLISHED FACT
The possibility of sending photographs by wire, long spoken of as
a probability was proven first on June 7th, 1924, when h aeries of photo
graphs made in Cleveland, Ohio, were transmitted by ordinary lo^g dis
tance telephone wire and received at the New York office of the tele
phone company engineers, who have been at work on the invention for
some time. , •.
The above is a photo of President Ccolidge sent by wire st that time
and whieh was supplied to the Sherman County Observer for publication
by the Meyer-Both news service to which service this office is a
subscriber.
,
Large and varied experiments were made by the telephone company
engineers following the successful demonstration of the system and
machines that had been invented and used in the first trial last June.
A photograph of President and Mrs. Coolidge, electrically trars-
mitted, reached San Francisco Sunday in less than eight minute* elapsed
time after the negative was placed on the sending machine at Washing
ton. The photograph was sent 36-hundred miles, via New *York and
Chicago, in the first cross continent test of the new system of electri
cally transmitting pictures by Bell telephone engineers, over the wires
of the American Telephone & Telegraph company.
*
Depicting Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge leaving the White House for
church at 11 a. m., the printfreceived in San ' Franctsoo* was of such
startling fidelity to detail and definition as to deceive ah eye unaided by
a microscope. — —

Employees of the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company are having
quite a blow out in Moro this week.
The company ia rebuilding ita lines
in this city by p’acing its wires in
alleys of blocks that have enough
customers to justify the expenss.
Each hole dug for a pole requires not
less than four sticks of dynamite to
loosen the rock. The company is also
resetting some of the poles on main
streets of the city as well as building
the new alley lines.
The stove used for heating purpoees
in the Urquhart millinery shop took a
tumble last Friday shortly after Mrs.
Urquhart had placed a stief of wood
upon the fire contained in the stove.
She gave a wondering look at the
prone stove and fire within, then
summoned help. Within a very few
minutes the stove wm again upon its
legs, the pipe connected and fire
blazing merrily with no damage to
building and contents of the shop.-
An incident fortunately safely passed.
