SUCCESS OF WIRELESS IN IMSM UNI)
SOMETHING OF WHAT IT MEANS
More aad more do we see the good ?
effect of merely trying. Only a few
years ago the heaJs of the signal ser
vice having to Jo with the connecting
up of Alaska with the outsid* world, de
clared it to t>e impossible for the wire
less to be made to work to the interior
on ac ount of the wooded hills which
Interfered with the intelligence-bear
ing wave.*. By keeping everlastingly
at it, however, the department wn9 led
into establishing a series of experiment
stations. When established it was de
clared they wero not of sufficient power
?an irritating confessiou in itself, since
it is so difficult to get the plants into
that far country and so much time ne
cessarily lost should they not be right.
Because of the shortness of the season
and the long intervals between those
seasons one would have thought
every precaution would have b^en laicen
against failure, or every means looking
to success anticipated in the first place.
However, the plants were placed and
experimenting continued.
The other Jay the steamer Bertha
was lying in the h?rb>r at Valdez, the
operator at the machine talking with
the Portlaud at Cordova. Presently
there wa? traced upon the record cer
tain dot* and dashes that carue out of
the mysterious ether having no rela
tionship to the subject in hand between
the two ship*.
With keen interest the operator
watched them repeat themselves over
and over, spelling the word F-A-I-K
B-A-N-K-8? or the call that represented
that station? Fairbanks, more than 300
miles away over the stormy and wooded
mountains. What a wonderful thing.'
how it stirs the imagiauioo.
Perhaps Fairbanks had caught the
talk of tbe two atoaaiora, or was trylog
to catch another of its own chain of
statiocs ? tfie dispatch does not siy ?
but 1= any event the little dots and
dash-s spreading away through the un
fathomable ether in every direction
found the little instrument on ship
board in the harbor of Valdez and reg

resistered the wo;d SUCCESS! and an
end to the isolation to which the
interior is so often subject through
broken wires, and a great step forward
in the development of the district.
Success to the wireless, and to the es
