NEW FIRE TRUCK GIVEN 12-HOUR OFFICIAL TEST The Obenchain & Boyer fire engine, which was delivered in this city last week, was given its official test on Monday of this week. The machine was run down to the bank of Fox river, near the bridge, where it pumped a continuous stream of water from eight o'clock in the morning until eight o'clock that evening. The test, under the direction of a state underwriter representative, proved entirely satisfactory and met with all requirements. However, as some little difficulty was experenced during the time the truck was being conveyed to the West Side, the board of city aldermen at their meeting that night saw fit not to accept the machine at that time. Our understanding is that the council will not accept the outfit until they are thoroly convinced that the machine has filled all requirements.

SECRETARY OF DeKALB CHAMBER OF COMMERCE No doubt it will be of interest to his numerous friends in this community to learn that C. D.

During Mr. Schoonmaker's residence in this city as editor and manager of this publication, he made many warm friends thruout this community, who will be pleased to learn of his election to this important office. The writer learned his trade under Mr. Schoonmaker and if he will give his new duties the same excellent service as rendered The Plaindealer company the DeKalb organization will never have reason to regret his employment. The ; Plaindealer joins his McHenry friends in extending congratulations.

Prophecy THEM were few who ihared ftae faith of the pioneen who undertook the development af the telephone. With an infant art to nourish constantly by new discovery and invention, and handicapped by scanty capital and public apathy, they held to their vision of a nlmon- wide service. Nearly twoscoreyears ago, when t hetelephoneaofthe U nked States were fewer than those of the State of Illinois to-day, the business was organized essentially like the Bell System of the present. That is: a central advisory staff, a central scientific organization devoted to development and research, a central department to promote progress in operating technique, a central source of supply of standardized material, local operating companies familiar with hxral needs, and a national network of lines interconnecting these companies. Telephone pioneers planned this organization structure, believing it necessary for efficient and economical national service. The nation's experience has proved the clearness of their, vision.
