reach New York on the 18th in time
for a consultation with the manager
of his department, who sails on the
18th for London. The count will sail
one week later, on August %, for
London, to take up the work in the
London Office. He does not yet know
just where his position will carry him
after he goes to London. While ma
ny friends regret to see him leave
Roswell all rejoice with him in his
splendid position and wish him we'll.
Roswell is still his home, he says, and
will come here at intervals to see his
friends.
Major Martini will be a busy man
with his new position and the the fol
lowing clipping taken from the Albu-
querque Morning Journal of a recen:
date shows that the United Wireless
Telegraph Company, with whom Ma
jor Martini will he connected has not
forgotten New Mexico and Roswell:
The New Mexico will be in com
munication with the outside world by
wireless within the next year was the
statement made yesterday by w E.
Gilbert, special representative of the
United Wireless Telegraph company
The eastern operating department
of the United company recently plac-
ed an order for 425 complete sets of
wireless Instruments said Mr. Gil
bert, and these will lbe installed in
various cities and towns throughout
the United States. This is the larg-
est order ever placed for wireless ap-
paratus and to manufacture, erect
and put the stations into operation,
will require an expenditure exceeding
81 100000. Five cities in New Mex
leo have been selected as wireless
stations Albuquerque, Santa Fe
Roswell, Ration and Santa Rosa.
Work on the stations will be begun
as soon as the operating depart
ment has received the necessary ap-
paratus on hand. In my opinion they
should be erected and in operation
within a year"
