H A X S E X, Phono Main 34 (Vallojo Evening Chronicle.) In less time thnn It tnkes to toll It, tho new equipment recently Installed by the Wostorn Electric Compnuy at tho mnln onico of tho Pacific Tolo phono nnd Tolograph Company wn8 put Into opomtlon and whon com- i pluted the town of Vnllojo had ono of tho llnest equipped oxchnngea In the state. All ono night a corps of export electricians nnd tolopliono exports worked hard nnd swiftly with tho Idea of making tho exchnngo com plete nnd ready for scrvlco boforo morning. Long boforo midnight nil tho mechanical part of tho arrange ment was In readiness but tho ofllclals waited until tho calls of tho public beenmo fow, In order that tho ox ports might got In their work undis turbed nnd without unnecessarily dis turbing any business of tolophono users. This work of preparation was watched with grpat interest by tho visitors present; in fact thoy looked with wonder nt the work of tho lolo phonc men. "What n mass of wires," said ono man; "Really I don't see how thoy can distinguish ono from another." And ltttlo wondor, for the back of tho board seemed to contain thousands of wires. Tho numbor of calls was not bo- coming less nnd with everything In rondlucss tho installers waited for their cnll. Whllo waiting for tho chnngo to bo mado from tho old corv Ico to tho new ,our attention wno cnlled to tho working of a tolophono exchange and what a rovolntlon It was. To thoso whoso knowlougo or a telephono system Is limited to tho fact tllnt If tho receiver Is takon from tho hook someone will sny "Num ber ploaso" and Immodlntoly glvo you tho party wanted, n visit to a tolo phono oxchnngo will bo tlmo woll spent People wore scoiug somuuuiiK. now ovory mlnuto. Tho lighting or the tiny lnmps, tho low distinct "Vnmlinr. iilmiKil" of tho ODOriltor. tho rnplil movements of tho opera tors go on almost continuously. Eu-ry niovo counts, no tlmo Is wasted In Idlo conversation and tho Idoa of Bystein provados. Wo watchod with deep lntorest nil tho operations nec ossan to comploto a call but boforo wo could roally undorstnnd It nil, we wero told by Mr. Mitchell, the mun ngor, thai soon tho work of cutting over the now lines would start. When tho foreman gave tho ordor to cut In tho now appratus how those men did work! Thoy dld'nt tear mound madly llko most pooplo when In a hurry but mado ovory move count. Each mnn had his par ticular work cut out for him and ho did It without asking any questions. Evorythlng moved smoothly and so rapidly that thoso witnessing tho ad dition or the now lines hardly had tlmo to realUe what was going on, boforo It was all over. Wo wore In formed by tho Installer, hovowor that the tlmo taken for this particular cut over was no shorter than usual, which goes to show how woll stand ardized tho appratus and methods must havo been In ordor to put this number of now linos in operation without a hitch of any kind. To a growing city like Vallejo nothing Is moro essential to Its prosperity and advancement than good telephone system nnu i x Xs?) 1 1 jf&L WMmtMMMMMW i j ' olomnent af , Northwest r i i ovd openings for u la too noz few years.

Institutions would bo nt sea If tholr tolophono connections wcer cut off for an hour. While tho city finds It an absolute necessity, tho aver ago citizen finds it Just ns cssontlnl to his welfare. This Is ovldoncod by tho largo numbor of 'phones which havo been Installed during tho pnBt year in prlvnto business homes. A few years ago If wo found It nocossary to call h physician It meant a walk of often a mllo or two. If ho was not In whon wo got thoro It meant another trip to somo othor physician. Today wo roach his rcs ldonco by 'phono in n fow seconds and If ho lo out wo call up another ono In tho samo length of tlmo, thus saving valuable tlmo and allowing us to remain at home. Wo find wo need something from tho storo or market In n hurry and still cannot fjnd tlmo to go for It. Without a 'phono wo havo to got along without It, but with ono wo can call up, and have goods dolivor to us without losing any tlmo. In enso of rain or bad weathor tho tolophono provos to bo tho hoiiBO-wlfo's best frlond. Ono woman In spanking of nor tolophono calls It "her friend on tho wall." Our most dlstnnt friends nro always within cnll and in enso of nood can bo sttmmonod at a mlnuto'o notice As a social aid tho tolophono Is so clpty's best friends. Every day In vftntlons nro issued over a 'phono and arrangements mndo for these do llghtful Informal parties nnd gath erings. Without a tolophono theso Informal affairs would bo difficult. Tho 'business man already knows tho value of a tolophono to him and It Is not a question o having a tolo phono but u rollnblo tolophono that Intorests him. Many important donls nro now closed dally ovor tho tolophono and Important mnttcrfl In volving thousnnds of dollars nro de cided after conforonco ovor tho 'phono between two men who mny bo, at tho tlmo, hundreds of mlloH apart. A rollablo tolophono and good sorvlco are noccssnry then. For public convenlonco tho tolo phono companies now-n-dnys havo an Information buroau which tells you practically anything you want to know. Evory question Imnglnnblo from "What tlmo Is It. ploaso." to 'How did tho game oomo out?" Is answered oaoh day. TIiIb Is Indeed a groat benefit to any city. Thlir city Is fortunato In having ho modern nn exchange and that It will havo many advantages over other cities having Inferior service Is up parant. The now Western Electric Hwltohbonrd recently Installed Is u marvel of completeness and embodies all tho Utest Improvements known to Hwltchbonrd practice. Tho local oxchnngo Is equipped with thu bent apparatus obtainable, assuring Its patrons tho best Borvlco and with tho co-oponitlon of Its subscribers hopes to mako ll' hjst'in tho best li tho statu. . o- I1ACK GIVES OUT.
