Boardman Loses Phone Operators; Dials in Operation
By Mary Leo Marlow
Boardman was changed over to
the- dial telephone system offici
ally at midnight Saturday night,
although some phones were In
use a few days earlier. Walter
Karnoff, president and general
manager of the Eastern Oregon
Telephone company of Pilot Rock,
Ukiah and Boardman, was in
town all day Saturday supervis
ing the operation. The Boardman
exchange was purchased by the
company June 15, 1956 from Mr.
and Mrs; William Garner, who
owned the Boardman company
since January, 1948. Work on re
habilitating the plant began June
1 of this year, and the building
of the dial building on Main
street. Karnoff stated that It Is
the only exchange in the state
that has an all insulated plant
in both rural and city area. It
has the Leich dial system, and
the only other one of this kind
is used by the exchange at Ump
qua, Ore. It is a fully selective
system, with users hearing only
one ring, their own. Karnoff also
stated that he will be able to ex
pand his company here, should
the population of the community
Increase in the future
The first phones were Installed
in Boardman about 1920 by a
man named Mr. Mead of Nehal
em. The exchange was run by

Although the new system will
undoubtedly be an Improvement
over the old, many will also miss
the many conveniences of the
friendly operator who was aBle
to tell you the answers to many
questions during the day. No
more will one be able to call her
and tell her that should you re
ceive an important call while you
are gone for the day, you will Be
