NORTHWEST TO GET
STOCK QUOTATIONS
Ticker Service for Port
land, Seattle, Taconia,
Will Start Soon.
The chattering stock ticker, with
all its connotations of Wall Street
and millionaire stock brokers, is soon
to be heard in the Pacific Northwest.
When the new sevice is installed, fi
nanciers and brokers of this section
will receive by ticker, not only the
transactions of the New1 York Stock
Exchange, but also full quotations
from the Board of Trade and the
Cotton Exchanges.
After 18 months of successful op
eration to San Francisco and Los An
gelesproof positive that the ticker
will work perfectly over great dis
tances the Western Union Telegraph
company, which has exclusive ticker
service arrangements with the va
rious exchanges, is now engaged in
rerouting its overland facilities be
tween Chicago and the Pncific Coast,
so that quotations on stocks, grain
and cotton will reach the Coast by
way of Denver and Ogden instead of
Dallas and El Paso. This more cen
tral route will permit the forking
of the transcontinental circuits at
Ogden, the northern fork carrying
the quotations to Portland, while the
southern extension will serve San
Francisco and Los Angeles. Special
automatic rotary repeaters have been
designed and constructed for use at
Ogden.
There will be no change in the na
ture and handling of the service to
points in California, but the new ar
rangement will permit the establish
ment of Portland as a prime re-transmission
station. Plans virtually com
pleted contemplate the installation
of three transmission plants at Port
land, duplicating in all respects the
existing plants at San Francisco and
Los Angeles. By meanB of these sub
sidiary transmission stations, other
cities in the vicinity can be given
practically instantaneous srevice.
Three new wires are being con
structed between Portland, Tacoma
and Seattle. One of these circuits
is for assignment to the stock trans
mission plant at Portland, one to the
grain and a third to the cotton trans
mission plant, so that ticker service
subscribers in the three northwest
em cities will receive simultaneously
the Portland transmission of all quo
tations reaching the Pacific Coast sta
tions directly from Chicago.
The new service is scheduled to
start about the first of the year. To
effect the expansion of service it was
necessary to provide nearly 2,500
miles of new truck line wire construc
tion. Additional costs for channel
and ticker central office and subscrib
ers' equipment bring the total ex
penditures on the part of the tele
graph company to more than $200,000,
As son as thj service i in operation
to Pui -timid, Tacoma and Seattle, it
is i hi iit.l to e.- lerd it as rapiiily u:
pot,iL,e to Spoki.i.e, Walla Valla,
Vancouver, Victori.t, Butte ai,d other
points.
Reroutirg of tie t"anscontinental
circuit via Djrver makei it possible
to provide a re-transmission station
at Denver, for which plans a'.so are
under way. . The Denver distribution
will constitute the last link in the
country-wide -chain of stations from
which extensions of the ticker service
can be made to practically any city
or town in the United States.
Service to be supplied includes
complete transactions in the stock
issues listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, complete transactions of
the New York and New Orleans Cot
ton Exchanges, the Chicago Board of
Trade, including cotton quotations of
that board, and, for one-half hour
prior to the opening and for forty
minutes after the closing of the Chi
cago grain market, the complete
transactions in bond issues on the
New York Stock Exchange.
Owing to the difference in time,
the ticker service will open on the
Coast at a relatively early hour. As
the New York Stock Exchange opens
at 10 o'clock Eastern Standard time,
the first quotations will begin to ar
rive in Portland at 7 a. m.. Pacific
Coast time. Pacific Coast brokers
who wish to have the benefits of the
quotation service from the time of
opening of the Eastern markets, with
out the inconvenience of going to
their offices at that early hour, may
have tickers instiled In their homes.
The ticker works at a speed of 300
characters a minute, and is always
"up" with the quotations as delivered
to the ticker service from the Stock
Exchange. When the direct ticker
service was first established betwem
Chicago, Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco, there were misgivings in some
quarters as to whether a ticker cir
cuit could be made to work satisfae
fuctorily over such a distance. The
tusts proved, however, that tin eKl
ciency of the circuit was even hihhei
than that of ordinary telegraph cir
cuits, inasmuch as the average daily
loss of operating time because of
wire trouble was only 30 seconds, a
high-standing record in such matters.
As an extra precaution for insur
ing the Northwest the best of serv
ice, arrangements are being made for
a spare ticker circuit from San Fran
cisco to Portland, automatically re
peated, so that In case of interrup
tion on the Ogden-Portland route
the connection can be almost instan-
tnlously switched to a San Francisco-
Portland leg, thus assuring tne norm
western region of direct service to
Chicago.
E. A. Peirce and Company of New
York are cooperating with the West
ern Union Telegraph company in the
extension of the tickr service to
Oregon and Washington.

HOME POINTERS.-
(From School of Home Economics,
O. A. C.)
To make a window look broader,
make the curtains shorter and use
deep valance. Bring the curtains
back as far from the window frame
as possible.
Double hung windows look best
with opaque side drapes and valance
with sheer net under drapes. The
overdrapes hang to the bottom of the
apron and the underdrapes to the
sill.
If windows are noticeably small for
the room, placing opaque curtains out
along the wall and raising the va
lance above the framework will ap
parently increase the size.
Extremely high windows are made
to look shorter by using a deep va
lance. White window curtains make a
room appear larger while colored
ones tend to lessen the size.
In a room where dignity is express
ed, longer Bide drapes at the windows
tied back with cords wftl help the
effect.
To prevent custards from becoming
watery place the custard cups or
baking dish in another pan with a
imall amount of water. Also do not
:ook too long or too fast.
If mayonnaise separates during the
first stages it can be saved by start
ing again with a teaspoon of hot
water in another pan and adding the
leparated mayonnaise a little at a
time, bealting constantly.
Green peppers are ideal for the
leftovers. Meat, macaroni, corn, bread
crumbs, tomatoes, cheese, etc., can be
used for a stuffing in various ways.
