Very recently a resident of this town visited the local 'telephone exchange and ,put in a' call to his, brother in Oakland; Cab, and was given his call in the remarkably quick time of sev-. emcee minutes, ;The distanee :be- tweeiithe 'two stations calling and re- --spending is over three tirouisand miles, so it oval be readily understood that .the operator was .carrying out the motto of of the ' Bell h r e I Telep one Co, whieh:is "Service." oven Many people are now using kite telephone to talk with distant'(riends or relatives and thus have the plea- sure of listening to a dearly Loved voice that probably has . not been heard in years. Any member of the local staff: can give _necessary, :infers a most alarming. appearance and might easily mislead a passerby. An. parties were glad ;'the alarm was a felso one.
