MEN TALK FROM
COAST TO COAST
Alexander Graham Hell Talks from
New York to Thomas A. Watson
In San Francisco by Phone
Transcontinental telephone con
veraation Is now an established fact.
It has been the dream of telephone
engineers for many years but not un
til last Monday afternoon was It ac
complished.
Sitting at the desk of Theo. N.
Vail, president of the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company on
the fifteenth floor of a New York
skyscraper, Alexander Graham Bell
talked directly to Thomas A. Wat
son In San Francisco.
Although John J. Carty, chief en
gineer of the Bell Telephone System,
perhaps more than any other man
was responsible for this great a-
enlevement, he insisted that the in
ventor of the telephone should have
the honor of sending the first ocean
to ocean message, and thus it was
that Dr. Bell and Mr. Watson were
at either end of the line Monday af
ternoon. In a little workshop in Boston.
June 2, 1875, it was Alexander Gra
ham Bell who spoke and Thomas A.
Watson who heard the first message
ever sent b ytelephone. "Come here,
Watson, I want you, .were the first
words ever conveyed over a wire.
That wire was only sixty feet In
length. The line used Monday la 3,
400 miles long.
A bit of sentiment that entered In
to the celebration of the opening of
the transcontinental line was that
the sixty feet of wire used In the first
talk in Boston was spliced Into the
line Monday, thirty feet of it at New
ork and thirty feet at San Francis
co.
Ever since the telephone was dis
covered, America, the land of its
birth, has kept the lead using more
telephones than all teh rest of the
world. More than twenty-one mil
lion miles of wire in this country
now unite nlne-mllllon telephones in
70.000 cities, towns and villages. All
the reRt of the world has less than
five million telephones.
In 1876 the longest telephone line
In the world was from Boston to
Cambridge, two miles; In 1884 it
was extended to New York, 235
miles. Chicago and New York were
connected In 1895, and In 19)1 New
lork could say "Hello to Denver.
In the forty yeras since the tele
phone was Invented, nearly a hun
dred types of transmitters, and num
erous repeating instruments and oth
er devices have been used, and dis
carded for something better, but it
is asserted that no single new dis
covery has been responsible for this
latest and greatest achievement in
the telephone art. It was accom
plished by gradual Improvements In
all equipment, by which mile by
mile the distance of possible tele
phone communication was extended,
each year a little further, until the
dream of transcontinental communi
cation has been realized.
In the two circuits of the trans
continental line there are approxi
mately six million pounds of copper
wire, or about two hundred carloads.
This wire is stretched on 130,000
poles, which if they were loaded on
railroad cars would make twenty
trains of thirty cars each.
The route of the transcontinental
telephone line Is from New York to
Pittsburgh, thence to Chicago, Dav
enport, Dea Moines and Omaha, Lin
coln to Denver. From Denver the
line bends north to avoid high alti
tudes, and then runs directly west
ward to Salt Lake City and to San
Francisco.
Stationed along this great stretch
of telephone line the day it was op
ened, were repairmen every few
miles, In the big centers, in the little
towns, on the prairies, in the moun
tains, and out on the desert, ready
to splice the wires in case they were
torn down by sleet or wind, to solder
a break or replace an insulator brok
en by storm or a miBchievouB boy.
Like soldiers on picket duty, these
repairmen will be kept on constant
vigil, night and day. In good weath
er and in bad, for it is advertised
that this line Is soon to be opened to
the public for constant use.
It is understood that when the
line is opened to the public the rate
will be about $21 for a three-minute
talk from New York to San Francit
co. The opening of the new transcon
tinental line will not only be distin
guished because of the talk of Dr.
Bell and Mr. Watson, but because
that day, for the firBt time in history,
the voice of the chief magistrate of
the nation was carried direct from
tbe seat of government in Washing
ton to the shores of the Pacific oc
ean. That day President Wilson
talked to San Francisco, sending his
congratulations to the 150.000 men
and women in the telephone industry
who made this achievement possible
President Vail was not in New
York when the celebration took place
so he was called up at his hotel on
the southern coast of Florida, one
thousand miles below Manhattan,
from where he talked over a line 4,
400 miles in length to Thomas A.
Watson in San Francisco.
