In 1885, the. Cherokee legislature granted a license to a small company to build a telephone line from Tahle-qua- h to Muskogee, but, owing to the fear that it might prove an opening wedge for the railroad which would bring the white mans civilization into their territory, the Cherokees imposed certain restriction before the project received their approval. Some of the conditions embodied in the bill were that the line must be constructed through the hills along a route which it would be impossible for a railroad to follow, that white help should not be employed in its construction and that habitations should be avoided to lessen the danger from lightning to the Cherokees homes and stock. Some years later an exchange was established at Tahlequah, the first in the state, and an Indian was placed in charge. His fathers had used the signal smoke to carry messages, afar, but now the Indians use the elects spark and the white mans hana The signal smoke fire is no jw And the Indian, once the most turn of all races, through the use the telephone, has become, if not g rulous, at least fluent in speech. From the start. he Cherokee teij. phone was a success. When the dians assembled to see the wire tat and found that it could do so not oik in English, but in Cherokee as eg their enthusiasm was unbounded, soft gutturals of the Cherokee tong were found to be the easiest of language spoken in the Southing to transmit over the telephone, then musical tones being free from harsh notes. Today, Oklahoma has over 250,0k telephones, one for every nine of fc. r inhabitants. The biggest problem on earth islft. ing together as human beings.
