ALASKA TO BE EQUIPPED WITH
A WIRELESS SYSTEM
The Nome Gold Digger prints a two
column news story to the effect that a
company has organized to install a
wireless telegraph system in Alaska:
that stations were about to be erected
at Nome and at Fairbanks, which
would be in working order by before
the close of navigation; that they
would be of sufficient strength to effect
communication with each other: that
stations would be erected at Skagway
and Seattle and this system would be
in operation before the first of January,
thus insuring the principal points of the
interior against isolation incident to
the breaking of the land wires.
There has been a general clamor
maintained by the newspapers of the
interior for some form of relief from
the frequent interruptions to their
communication with the outside world
suffered bv newspapers themselves ami
the commercial interests. As an illus
tration of the inconvenience suffered
through broken wires, the Dawson
News, which gets its news service over
the Canadian line to Ashcroft has been
compelled by this cause to resort to
the cable service at this point for two
weeks past.
The interior is dependent upon wires
stretched for thousands of miles
through a wilderness subject to the
chance of falling trees and forest fires.
The cry has been for the installation of
a wireless system to which neither of
these would form a menace or source of
danger. The answer has been that the
wireless would not work over land, anil
that in any case the cost would he too
great. The latter, to be sure, was
offered somewhat tim'dly in view of
the rapid growth of business and the
great profits being piled up by the gov
ernment service. It was seen that such
a reason could not stand when con
sidered in connection with the develop
ment of this vast and rich region. As
to the former excuse the Gold Digger
dismisses it this way:
'?Mr. Wittren, promoter of the new
enterprise, is an enthusiastic believer
in the efficiency of the wireless system
under the improved conditions, and de
rives a great deal of pleasure from show
ing to skeptics the statement made by
Mr. Loeb, President Roosevelt's
private secretary, in regard to a
message that was sent by President
Roosevelt to the governor of Ohio, con
cerning the accident on the battleship
West Virginia, on which the president
was cruising. The message and reply
were received at a distance of 1,500
miles. Mr. Loeb's statement is as fol
lows;
" 'There was no time from the start
to our arrival in Hampton Koads that
the president was not in communica
tion with the mainland. We bad no
difficulty in picking up stations almost
anywhere. The president sent several
official messages to the various depart
ments. We can feel entire confidence
in the work that has been done and to
rely on t he correctness and promptness
of wireless communications very much
as we would in land telegraphy. The
president was much interested, and
studied receiving and sending messages
very carefully' "
Alaskans everywhere will watch the
progress of the enterprise with great
interest, which will be increased by the
operations of the navy department
which is about to dot the whole coast
line with wirele-s stations to commu
nicate with ships at sea.
The story that the names of "all
leaders of revolution in Russia" had
been discovered and are in the hands of
the government and that nearly all of
them had been arrested, reads very
much like a bit of fiction sent out by
the government itself for the effect it
might have upon the spirits of the rank
and file.
The brink of the revolution in Russia
is a wide one. The people of that
country have been assembled on it for
along time.
The railroad automobile opens a wide
and bright viata to the imagination for
the future.

Hotel Dewey is under new manage
ment and remodeled throughout. Every
room is being repaperai and other im
provements made. Look for display ad.
The relatives of Russell Sage who
were left out of his will believe he was
insane Mrs. Saga who occupies the
whole place in the will scoffs at the
idea. Anil when the others of us re
member how the old gentleman was oc
customed to sit in his office every day
heaping more sold upon his accumu
lated sixty millions we join in the great
merriment of Mrs. Sage.
It is telegraphed up here ?s n matter
of note that "Governor Mead favors the
direct primary." Any politician who,
in these days, does not favor the direct
primary gets run over with the ice
wagon.
