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.
