IT IS A F I SYSTEM Plattsmouth's New Telephone Com pany Open for Business. Is Kqulpprfl With All the Latent Improve ment Known Id the Construction of Telephone System Company Now Hps One Hundred and Thirty Subscriber and Are Adding- Sew One. The I'lattemouth Telephone comany is making rapid progress in getting their lino in operation, despite the cold woather, and have 6omething like sixty 'phones in operation now. A description of the workings of the now system will be of interest to the readers. The switch board in use at the cen tral office i-t cailed the Express and is the fastest board made for email ex changes, being large enough to accom modate 2U0 subscribers. The system is equipped with long distance trans mitters and is tho Quest work of the electrician's art throughout. One of the points in favor of the board is that heti a subscriber desires to he con nected with a certain number one ring is sufficient that ii, you do not h ive to wait for the connection to le mi.de and then riur again, but can bgin talking with tbe number called for without hanging up the receiver at all. The transmitteJ used i - the Hun nincs, and has the multiple contact, which increase the volume of s u id. rendering speech as intelligb.e as though you were in conversation with one in the same room. In fact a con versation can be carried on in a whis per over the line when everything is put in pertect order. The system uses tho double poll typo of reeeiver, which is much stronger than those formerly in use. The manner in which the wires are placed is what is known as the cum- mon return system one large wire being carried through the city and is tapped at each office or store where a telephone is placed. T. H. Ewiug of Topeka, Kan., an electrician and telephone man of wide experience is superintendent of con struction and expects to have the system completed in a few days. His wife is assisting him and is acting as operator until it i9 finished. The new company now has 130 sub scribers and is adding new ones all the time and tho promoters, Messrs. Pollock and Parmele, have reasons to feel encouraged for the bright pros pects of the company's future.
