Robrrt Lowe, Yukon couccilmin,
returned by the Princess Msy
from a visit of a month at Spokane.
Mr. Lowe says the ' states" are rounding
to -after the rccent financial stringency.
Money is easy and folk* are feeling the
better for it. He s*ys there is a !ot of
notable aftermath in the number of
people who are reported out of employ
ment and in actual want. These
matters will right them-'elvos very
shortly.
The outlook for summer travel this
way he believes has never been so
bright and he warns the transportation
people and the caravansaries to get
ready to meet a large demand upon
their resources. The Alaskan trip is
exercising ac irresistable charm, he
?ays. It only needs to be spoken of to
enlist tk*5 liveliest interest below. Mr.
| Lowe went over to Whitohorse yester
day,
A Washington Associa'id I'ress di??
patch of February 8 say ?:
A remarkable insts .ce of wireless
telegraphic communic ition has been
verified at the bureau of equipment in
tha navy departmeut. A wireless sta
tion at PoiJt Loma, near San Diego,
picked up tho Connecticut, t aen talk
ing off the coast of Cubn, took down
the message and also picked up a mess
ago being sent from the wireless sta
tion at Pensacola, Fla. Experts are
wondering whether the mesiige went
across the continent or in the other di
rection round the world.
The feat of te egrapbing from Pen
sacola to Point Loma is most remark
able inasmuch as the mesoage mus-t
have passed over a atrip of the Gulf of
Mexico and two mountain ranges and
traveled, farther than from New York to
Paris. At this time of the year the
Gulf of Mexico is usually covered with
a dense fog, through which a Morse
message over the best copper wlros
will carry a distance of from "5 to 100
miles. If it were possible to run a
wire from Pensacola to Poiot Loma
over the route the wireless messao
must have traveled it would have tak
en four relays to get a missive through.
