graph Company Begins Work Up
on the Great Inland Southern Ex-
tension of Its Commercial Dispatc',
system-Instruments Ordered.
The January numb Of The Aero
gram, a magazine devoted to the
wireless telegraph and telephone bus
iness, will contain an interesting ar
ticle on the proposed extension OF
the business of the United Wireless
Telegraph Company, and from ad-
vance proofs it is learend with pleas
ure and interest that Columbia is
on tie list of new Offices to be es-
tablished. The company is making
preparations to form complete sys-
tenn for oversee and overland bus
iness and expects in the course OF
time to be in active competition with
the wire lines in business, social and
oficial transactions of messages.
The following from the article men
tined will be of general interest:
The eastern operating department
OF the United States Wireless Tele-
graph Company announces the plac-
ing of an order with the company's
manufacturing department, for ESQ
complete sets of wireless instru-'
mcnts, all of which are soon to be
Installed at stations to, be establish
ed in cities east of the Mississippi
river.
This is the largest order for wire
less apparatus and to manufacture,
erect and put the stations into op-
Grafton, will require an expenditure
exceeding 100000. The majority
of the stations will be of one or two
K, W. capacity, with a range from
100 to 800 miles, but some, which
are intended fer long distance serv-
ice, will be Of from S to 20 k. W. to
transmit wireless messages, under
all conditions of weather, for range
of from SO to 1000 miles overland
ana from 1000 to 5000 miles over
the water.
The United Wireless Telegraph
Companys manufacturing depart
ment embracing three complete fac
tories, two of which are located in
Jersey City, N. j.. and the other in
Seattle, Wash, have combined
capacity of over s1,000,OO0 worth
of wireless apparatus per year. The
larger part of the entire output oa
these factories has heretofore been
needed in filing orders from various
governments and for the United
Company's marine department. 1t
is probable, however, that with an
extension of this factory. equipment,
which will be made in the near fu-
ture, the $50 sets will be completed
and the new stations be ready for
operation in 1909.
The company promises to erect
stations not only in the States east
of the Mississippi river, but also IL
the Western States from the Pacific
coast eastward, until they complete
an intercommunicating wireless ,sys
tenn covering all important CONNER
cial mining and manufacturing CEN
ters throughout the entire Unite1
States. Inasmuch as pearly all OF
such cities are connected with many
smaller places by local telephone sys
TENS, it is expected that the United
Wirelsss Telegraph, Company will be
in position, by. the, end OF. 1909,
to receive and deliver messages at
several thousand points where the
wire companies at present maintain
Offices.
The operating department of the
company is now organizing its forces
to begin the selection of locations
for these new stations. Contracts
and leases will be entered into ami
the advanced work completed, ready
for the installation of the apparatus
as rapidly as suitable sites can be
secured and satisfactory arrange
mentS made. n
