THE NEVADA CIT CITY N NUGGET, CALIFORNIA = 1930 WAS RECORD YEAR uring 1930, more cable for long disfance telephone service was plac-" ed in the United States by the Long} Lines’ Department of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company than in any previous year. This extension of the cable system, putting more and more of the country’s long distance lines inaerial or. underground storm-proof cable, will directly or indirectly affect practically every section of the country. One of the -important developments of the year was the extension of the New York-WashingtonAtlanta cable from Charlotte, N. C. to Greenville, S. C.,a distance of abeut 101 miles. This ‘section of the cable was opened for service in June of last year, making it possible to talk from New York to Greenville by cable. Work is now progressing on the extension of this cable toNew Cables for Middle West Another development of the past year was the installation of a new conduit system between the cities of New York and Philadelphia. The first cable over the new route is scheduled for service spring of 1931: A new cable was also installed. between Harrisburg, Pa., and -Baltimore, Md. In the middle west there was much cable development during the year. This work included supplementary cables, the most important being the additional cables between New York and Chicago. Between Cleveland and Toledo a new subway was completed via Elvira and Castalia and new cable installed and placed in service in August. The proposed. cable.. joining Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis was extended from Milwaukee to Appleton and opened for service last July. The Chicago-Omaha cable was entended from Iowa City to Des Moines and was placed in service in July. Work on the cable between Des Moines and Omaha progressed rapidly, and service was scheduled for early this year. Long Cable for Pacific Coast Two projects were handled jointly with the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. A new’ underground eable was completed betweén St. Lovis and Klansas City, a distarice of 259 miles. This is part of the system which will ultimately be extended to Dallas, Tex. A tape-armorded cable, a recently developed type which may be laid in a trench without conduit, was installed between Kansas City and Joplin and jis to be placed in service in the Bpring of 1931. ' On the Pacific Coast a notable achievement was accomplished by the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company when a new long distance cable was completed and opened between San Francisco and Los Angeles. This is the longest telephone cable on the Pacific Coast. and ultimately will run from the Canadian to the Mexican border. CAMPTONVILLB, Feb. 19. (Special to The Nugget.)—Fred J.

Pulaski formerly a United States forest ranger, died at his home in Coeur Idaho, February 2. Pulaski, a Polish patriot and brigadier genera] in the Revolutionary War, in whose honor a commemorative two-cent U. S. postage stamp has recently been issued. In the great Idaho forest fires of 1910, Pulaski théena forest ranger onthe St. Joe National Forest, won national recognition for coolness and courage. In eharge of fifty fire fighters who were trapped bya sudden rush of the flames, he led the men into amining tunnel, barricaded the door, and stood guard wit hhis gun at the entrance to prevent the escape of the fear-crazed men. When the fire had swept on, five men who had disobeyed Pulaski’s order to lie down on their faces were found dead, and Pulaski himself was seriously burned and nearly blinded by the smoke and flames. He later récivered sufficiently to render valuable services until his retirement from ranger duties in 1930. Known to U. 8S. forest rangers as “the elk with the funny horns,’ the first known specimen of a cross between a moose and an elk was recently killed in the Deerlodge National Forest, Montana.

He was first seen on the Boulder Creek District of Deerlodge to beabout a three-year-old. He was finally killed in Bear Gulch Jefferson County, Montana, and weighed 1,100 pounds. ‘A call for help from the midst of the snow-clad Sierra, or the start of a hinted ina telegram received at the San Francisco, which read, SISTER ELSIE OUT BELLY ACHE SPRINGS HOLY JIM LIVE YANKEE LINGER PLESAUCE. . _ Guy Tabler of the Yuba River Forest in 1925 when he appeared winter-bound romance, was a office of the U.S. Forest Service at LONGER HAPPY HOLLOW APInvestigation \ proved that it was only an order sent in by a supervisao . .
