At the Whits House the telephone le so
Important and Indispensable medium for
the transaction of an enormous volume of
national business, writes Harold Bolee in
the American Telephone Journal- During
the 8panlrh war It was a vital factor In
history making. In his message to congress
In 189S President McKlnley acknowledged
the great service of the telephone and tele
graph system at the White House, operated
under the direction st an officer ot the
signal corps.
Since President Roosevelt has been at the
head ot the nation the telephone system,
which was a special and favored feature ot
Mr. McKlnley's White Houss arrangements,
has been greatly amplified to meet the de
mand, ot the hour.
Sixty-five cables radiate from the new
offices of ihs chief executive. The White
House telephone exchange is a central
office exclusively under government control.
Its private wires connect with all federal
officials and with every branch ot the na
tional govercment at Washington. The
operators ere government employes, and aa
none ot the White House eommunlcation.
over the telephone to departmental officials
pass through the city central office, any In
advertent leakage or betrayal of confidence
could be Instantly traced.
Not a syllable of the half-million net
tagrs utoken annually over the wlree has
ever been divulged. President Roosevelt,
who, ss a modern man of Intense activity.
Is a persistent patron of the telephone, has
unquestioned confidence In ths Inviolate
trustworthiness of the White House system.
Matters vitally affecting the relationship
of nations are discussed over the telephone
as freely as iliey are Uuulwl im iae ses
sions of the cabinet.

The present telephone system at the
White House, although under government
eoutrcl, U owned by the local company.
The covtroment pays annua) rental for the
wires and Instruments. In Installing this
service the company acted under official
Instructions to equip the White House with
the mon complete system known to modern
telrphuny.

American president Is pre-eminently s man
of vast practical activity, and that here,
surrounded by ellcklng telegraph, and whir
ring telephones, he is presiding over the
business office of the nation. It Is only
wtAiln recent years that the White House
management determined to keep abreast,
it not ahead, of the time. In the matter of
telephone and telegraph facilities.
... War Tlnse Iaeowenleaees.
During the civil war, Mr. Edward. Rose
water, now editor and proprietor ot The
Omaha Bee, bad charge ot the messages
that came to the president.
"As I look back," said Mr. Rosewater,
"It seems Incredible that the government
had not then awakened to the necessity of
running wires directly to the Whits House.
All messages for the president were re
ceived in the offices of the War department,
and aa we bad no telephone then and the
president was sometimes Impatient of mes
sengers. It was a common thing to eee Mr.
Lincoln walk Into ' my office at all hour.
of the day and night. . He would etand at
my desk and wslt tor messages from tbe
front."
In striking oontrast to this picture ot
Lincoln, striding over to the War depart
ment and waiting around tor messages, I.
the record ot the way the signal service,
by ths uss of ths telephone and telegraph
made It possible for Pre.ldent McKlnley
actually to dlreet the movements of fleets
and battalion, during engagement. In ths
Spanish war. But for the unquestioned
official reports It would tax one's rredullty.
Ths part ths telephone played In accom
plishing this extraordinary achievement le
a matter of unique Interest.
Then, as now. Captain Benjamin F. Mont
gomery ot the signal corps, a scientist and
officer of unusual Intelligence, wae In charge
of the White Houae telephone and tele
graph system. He prepared elaborate maps
of Cuba and adjacent waters, of Porto Rico,
the Philippines, and, in fact, of all lands
and seas oa which American ships and
regiments were operating.

At the front the "flying telephone" sys
tem under the direction ot General Qreely,
Colonel Samuel Reber and other signal
service experts, followed both ships and
soldiers, and in some lnstsnces led the ad
vance, Fverythtpg known te the officer oa
the firing line was instantly communicated
by telephone to the neareat telegraph In
strument and thence by direct private wire
to the White House.
On Colonel Montgomery's big war maps
ths movements ol troops and vessels were
Indicated by pegs, and President McKlnley,
watching the progress of battles, sent di
rect commands to his generals and ad
mirals. For the first time In American his
tory the president. In the fullest sense, we.
ensbled from his executive office to exer
cise bis prerogative as commander-in-chief.
Not only did President McKlnley's vigi
lant direction of tbe war render telephone
service Indlspensabls at the front, but It
likewise mads it necessary that be should
ever himself get beyond telephone call.
Thus began ths modsrn telophone service
at the White House.
The night before President McKlnley left
Canton, O., fur the fatal trip In Uuffalo be
called up ths Wb'te House by lung distance

embodied them In bis famous speech at
Buffalo.
Three minutes from tbe moment Presi
dent McKlnley was struck down at Buffalo
arrangements were being rushed to estab
lish an exclusive long distance telephone
circuit between Secretary Cortelyou at the
president's side and Assistant Secretary
Benjamin Barnes and Colonel Montgomery
at the White House. In loss than fifteen
minutes from the moment the assassin shot
the president this long distance telephone
was In use. It was over this wire that the
flret official detalle of the crime were re
ceived at the White House, and without
Interruption, day or night, this wire con
tinued to convey telephone tidings of the
stricken rulei, commuulpatlonB between
cabinet officers and general Instruction,
relating to national affairs from Septembel
6, 1901, to the moment the funeral cortege
started to Washington.
Aa Iadeaeaaeat System.
It bas been during President Roosevelt's
administration that the White House tele
phone system was made a central office,
absolutely independent of tbe city central.
Four trunk lines connect the White House
with the outside world, and they are kept
busy. It Is between the White Houae and
the departmente, however, on the exclusive
lines that tbe great volume of business Is
transacted.
The Treasury department, for example,,
has nearly 100 telephones. All these are
directly connected with the White House,
so that if the president or any member of
the White House fores wishes to speak with,
say the commissioner of internal revenue,
the director ot the mint, the superintendent
of the coa.t and geodetic survey or sny
other treasury official, connection Is made
' without delay and over wlree entirely under
government control.
In tbe same way all senators end repre
sentatlves at the cepitol can be spoken to
directly from tbe White House, and, of
course, the State, War. Navy. Agricultural
and Interior departments, the Department
ot Labor, the Smithsonian Institution, and,
In fact, every federal branch le In con
stant touch by telephone with the White
House. Thus. In the aggregate, in the
White House telephone system there sre
seversl hundred miles ot exclusive wire.
In tbe offices of ths White House there
srs seventeen separate telephones. Secre
tary Loeb has a telephoue at bis desk
through which he. trsnsacts much of the
t executive business assigned to blm. His
chief assistant, Mr. Barnes, who sits at a
desk by his side, also has a telephoue
which begins ringing early In the morning
and continues with little cessation until
long after the close of official hours. .
But President Roosevelt, while he uses
the telephone a great deal, does not have
one at his desk. When some senator, finan
cier or perchance some obscure cltlxen who
has a communication which only tbe presi
dent can attend to asks to talk with tbe
president, Mr. Roosevelt leaves his desk,
wslks rspidly through Mr. Loeb'. room and,
entering tbe office ot Colonel Montgomery,
hurries into a telephone booth, closing the
door after him. In such Instances not even
.be White House operator listens to the
conversation, so that only ths president and
the person st ths other end of the wire sre
possessed of tbe Information contained in
their conversation.

self at Colonel Montgomery's desk and talks
through that official's telephone,
he president is very frequently In con
versation over the long distance with New
York, Boston, Chicago and other cities.
Before the coal operators and the miners
agreed to arbitrate Mr. Morgan on several
occasions called up the White House from
New York, whereupon conversation was
established between the two most strenuous
men ot the day.
Tbe social features ot the . White House
are grestly aided by the use of the tele
phone. Tbe president's wife and daughter
are favorably committed to Impromptu func
tions, the guests at which are almost in
variably summoned by telephone.
When the president travels the telephone
at the White House Is kept exceptionally
busy. From every city where tbe president
stops word is at once sent by telephone to
the White House, and the business of tbe
government Is taken up and carried on
with the same ease and expedition that
would result If the president were simply
telephoning from an adjacent room Instead
of from some point 1,000 miles distant from
the executive offices.
So important haa it become that tbe
president should maintain constant tele
phone communication with the government
at Washington that telephone terminals sre
put up In the car In which he travels, and
wherever slope srs made, even at small
stations, the wire, ars quickly 'connected
and the president enabled to talk with the
White House, generally getting connection
with the long distance line through the
local exchange.

The Union Pacific is working toward an

Is not satisfactory tor boiler use.
There are not over thirty-five water puri

these are not for the use of railroads.

the water used by locomotives In these
countries Is purified.

In a boiler bave a life of 200,000 mile, and
a like distance with a little caulking and
tightening. Compared with the flue mileage
west of the Mississippi this is a very long
life, as the life of flues in the west doee
not average much over 40,000 miles. This
difference is due solely to the difference
ot the water. Tbe life of tbs flues with
pure water Is from four to ten times
greater than tbat ot those where tbe water

ahich all cause bard or soft scalo and are
dangerous to the life of the boiler. There
is also a large quantity of alkali present,
but this It is Impossible to remove except
by distilling, and the cost of distillation Is
too great for It to be practicable. Tbe
presence of the alkali in the water does
not affect the boiler tu any great extent
beyond causing It lo foam, and with care
the water does not foam sufficiently to
cause any inconvenience.
For years the presence ot the deleterious
sail, in the water used in the boilers has
caused the use of tons of boiler compounds,
hlch were of little real benefit. Tbe
danger of foaming was increased with their
use and the bailers still scaled.
Railroads everywhere have made It a
point to use cll water where it is obtained
from streams and creeks or from lakes, as
this is purer than well water. The Chi

road that has aa yet taken steps In this
matter and It bas built a series of plants
along Its line between Omaha and Chicago
that Is practically complete. The results
obtained are very satisfactory.
How It Is Accomplished.
All of the water purifying plants in this
country depend upon tbe chemical princi
ple and differ only In their manner of
operation. Carbonates of lime, magnesium
and Iron are commonly held In solution by
water. Their presence la tho water causes
soft scale to form In ths boilers. Slaked
lime will precipitate them as It will also
precipitate chloride of magnesium, which
corrodes the boiler . tubes. Sulphates ot
lime and megnesium are also found In con
siderable quantities in well water and
through them a hard scale 1. precipitated
on the .idea and tube, of the boiler. The
sulphates can be precipitated out with soda
ash.
Both soda ash and slaked lime are cheap
commodities and the. principal salts found
in well water which cause corrosion and
scaling are separated from tbe water by
their addition. The addition of these
chemicals causes a precipitate and this
must be removed from the water before It
1. Introduced into the boiler, so It is neces
sary to either allow the precipitate to set
tle or to remove it by filtration.
The Union Pacific, in their system, will
combine tbe two method, of separation.
The water I. pumped to the top of the
water tank and allowed to run over and
through a prepared solution of Blaked lime
and soda ash and 1b then partly filtered and
drawn off from the top of tbe tank after
having settled. The system is continuous
and requires from four to four and a half
hours to perform it. functions. It requires
no more labor to run a water tank contain
ing the purifying apparatus than one not so
arranged, and tbe only cost sustained in
tbe process Is that of the chemicals and
averages from 1 to t cents for 1,000 gallons.
Capacity of the Plants.
The plants arranged for have capacities
ranging from 300,000 to 500,000 gallons dally
and ars large enough for from 60 to 100 of
the largest of the company's locomotives to
replenish their tanks In passing. When the
entire system la completed tbe company
will be abfe to purify about 15,000,000 gal
lons daily and will serve the company for
all time.
From time to time it will be necessary
for the company to analyze the water, as
its chemical composition is likely lo change
and care bas to be taken that the chemicals
be added in their proper quantity, as too
little would not purify the water and too
great a quantity of suda ash would Increase
the alkali present and consequently In
crease the danger from foaming which is
ever present.
While tbe Union Pacific is the pioneer In
the matter of water purification west of
the Missouri, other roads are appreciating
the situation and maklug extensive tests
and a csfeful study of tbe matter. It Is
rertsln that within a few years ths stsrt
Ihst ths Union Pacific has made will be
folloaed by a majority of tbe western roads
and water purifying plants will exist every
where that locomotives reilnUh tbelr
tanks, as tbs cost of Installing tbe plants In
