| representatives of the Pacific
Wireless Telegraph company are IN
Kenosha seeking to make arrange
ments for the opening of station of
the com pany in this city and the
agents claim thatit is certain that the
people here will show sufficient inter
est in the proposition to secure the
placing of the station. The station
is to be one of chain between Mil
waukee and Chicago, ard arrange
ments have already been made for the
erection Of towers for the transmits
sion of messages at Waukegan and
Racine and the Milwaukee and
Chicago towers are now in working
order.
The managers of the company seek
to get ten of the great industrial
plants of Kenosha interested in the
proposition, and if this can be done
the work of building the tower will go
forward at once. The representative
of the company in speaking Of the
matter stated that he was seeking to
sell stock to the amount of 700 shares
in Kenosha, and as soon as this stock
was sold the station would be opened.
A similar amount of stock has been
sold in Waukegan and more than
double this amount in Racine. 1t is
claimed that the stations in Milwau-
kee and Chicago are now in perfect
working order and are being regular
Ivy t. sS sod hat
and answers to them have been sent
from Milwaukee to Chicago in three
minutes.
The representatives of the company
claim that the installation of the new
service in Kenosha will make revo-
luton in the telegraph business on
account of the fact that the service
will not only be quicker but that it
will cost much less than the messages
now being sent by the Western Uuion
and Postal Telegraph companies.
Up to a short time ago the Pacific
Wireless Telegraph company had
confined its operations to the Pacific
coast and communication has been
secured between all the leading coast
cities. In addition to this the COM
pany is sending wireless messages to
Honolulu and to thirty or forty vessels
now in the Pacific coast trade. New
stations are now being constructed IN
many cities in the East and Middle
West and the managers of the com
pany claim that within ten years the
company will have stations in every
city of any size in the country. 1t is
claimed that the wireless service is
now being used in the West in prefer
ence to the old telegraph systems on
account of the reduction in cost and
on account of the rapidity of delivery
of messages.
The Western Urion Telegraph COM
pany has used the wireless stations
during the recent strike and the man
ager of the company for the Pacific
coast has sent letter to the company
praising the service. Therepresenta-
tives of the company in Kenosha de-
clare that the station here will be in
stalled within a week after the stock
required has been subscribed. Many
of the financiers of the city are inter
ested in the proposition and it is
probable that the plan for the station
in Kenosha will prove success.
A effort was made few years ago
to establish a station of the DeForest
system in Kenosha but the test of the
service was not entirely satisfactory
and the plan was dropped.
