FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH coued in 1867 Service at 11:00 a.m. •ftwoomiwoomftero.fte. ture got into the cables, dust got into the contacts in the ex- change, and the system gradual- ly deteriorated. A letter of Nov. 15, 1894, in- dicates the sorry fate of the system in Terrebonne at that "Their installation has been up for sale for the last seven or eight months, but no pur- chasers turned up. They are now calling for tenders to have the thing remoyed, and stored in some suitable place. "A very funny incident hap- pened to Limoge (the com- .panY's agent in Terrebonne) while he was claiming his last month's salary; it appears that the person to whom he presen- ted the account was not at all disposed to honor it, on ac- count of that gentleman having had so very little to do for the company for the last seven or eight months. 'Mr. LiMoge very cleverly. defended his case, by stating that, as it had been formerly stipulated in -the agree- ment between the company and himself that he would have ab- solutely 'nothing to do except to dust the ssvitehes, which he did regularlyand conscientious- ly, and therefore claimed to have done his duty; the two Automatic Magnates, upon this, grinned, and handed him a cheque." An entry in the Log Book of the late C. F. Sise, President of the Bell Telephone Company frotn 1890 to 1915, is the only reference to the installation in, Seaforth. Dated July 26, 1893, it reads: "Automatic has five subscri- bers in Seaforth, three of them D.H. (dead heads). Not yet working. They are buying poles. We (the Bell) have 43 subscri- bers." Thus ended in failure a chap- ter in the 'development of the Strowger telephOne in Canada. The first successful inst 11 ti a a on of . the Strowger system in this ceuntry was made in White- horse in the Yukon in 1901, and a number of installations were made in the Prairies during the early years of the century. The Terrebonne-Seaforth adventure had been ahead of its time. The first telephone exchange had been, opened in Seaforth in 1884 in C. W. Papst's book and stationery store. One of the first userl was the' late M. Y. McLean, reditor of The Huron Expositor, who called Mr. Hol- mes of The New Era in Clinton, thus inaugurating long distance service. Remember!
