CONTROL OF THE ETHER WAY
Struggle Among Governments for
Privacy in wireless
Dispatches.

struggle for right-of-way in the air is
already in progress between rival govern
ments. The battle-ground for control Of
the ether way Is In the far corner of the
northwest on the Pacific frontier, where
the wireless operators for the Canadian
government are wondering II satisfactory
agreement can be made with American
operators so that neither will conflict IN
sending aerograms. When two wireless
stations are working another station in
that vicinity can break into the ether way,
with interference as the result. Science has
devised what is known as tuner" by
which an operator can tune out" or,
In other words, shut off stations which he
does not wish TO hear, but this operation
reduces the use of the atmosphere, so that,
in the end, the struggle is but little further
advanced than IL the tuner had not been
called into use. The tuner" has the ad-
vantage however of permitting the oper-
ator to work unmolested.
Four separate interests are likely to
clash for the air over Puget sound and
around the island Of Vancouver, and this
condition is without parallel elsewhere
The Canadian government has six or more
active instruments; the American has
| placed stations at Bremmerton and Ia
toosh, while the vessels OF the Pacltic
Coast Steamship company are equipped
with wireless systems besides which there
is a great commercial company with rivaI
interests. There Is a verbal understanding
that the Dominion instruments shall work
certain part of the hour, with the Ameri'
can or the commercial company having q
turn, but this agreement is simply an un
derstanding, and at any time 1t may b'

WATER sBCURBD IN THE PARK
Well Does Not Furnish Enough 20
Meet the Needs.

Meet the Needs.
After sinking four wells in Fairmount
park the park commissioners last week
finally secured a flow of water, but the
amount proved inadequate for the require
ments Of the park. Yesterday at a special
meeting the commissioners, at the sug-
gestion OF President Graham decided to
sink another well about fifty feet from the
present one and work on this is to be
commenced at once The two wells are TO
be connected and pumped together and ara
expected to furnish a sufficient supply. If
they do not President Graham is in favor
of sinking another or as many more as
will be necessary to furnish an adequate
supply Of water. The we'll which was
finally found to give water it was stated
at the meeting of the board yesterday,
showed a capacity of only about fifteen
gallons a minute.
1t was stated at the meeting that the
estimated cost of the wells in FairmounI
park, completed and equipped would not be
more than $500. For three of the wells
which the contractor sunk without reach
ing water, President Graham said nothing
would be paid by the board.
