Gillespie left Wednesday for Sinct 1934, we've been expanding our system to brmg telephone service to the Columbia Basin area. When the Columbia Basin needed telephones Making a desert blossom meant building a complete, new communications system Twenty years ago, much of central Washington was sagebrush wasteland. Then came the Co lumbia Basin project with its plans for a huge dam and thousands of miles of irrigation canals. Right from tho beginning, one of the important "tools" needed was telephone service. And we began, even before a yard of earth was moved, to create a new telephone system in the desert. We've invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to build the new facilities in the Columbia Basin ...an investment which will mean much to the West and to the nation. For it is helping turn barren land into rich, food-producing farms. i Your telephone s one of today'; best bargains Throughout the West, the Columbia Basin tele phone story has been told In hundreds of rapidly growing communities. And, fast as the Wttnt's growth has been, the telephone has grown at an even faster rate. ..twice as fast in the territory we serve. For at today's prices, the telephone i o economical more people can afford it... so useful, more people want it Highway mobile telephones have been help ing contractors and engineers build a network of canals over the vast area. In 1934, we put a private line circuit from Coulee Dam to Eplirata. Today the dam itself is webbed with miles and miles of telephone lines ... a nerve system over which practically all operations are controlled. And throughout the Basin area we've been build ing huge amounts of telephone facilities to take care of its amazingly rapid growth. In Eplirata, for instance, throe operators handled all calls in 1912. Today, although dial equipment handles local calls, 25 operators are needed. In Moses Lake, there were (56 telephones in 1935. Today there are more than 2000... and the real growth still lies ahead. Eventually, irrigation water will reach more than a million acres. And we'll keep doing our best to see that the people who move there will have telephone service equal to that in other areas we serve here in the West.
