the latter, instead OF taking his pas
sengers up TO the Copper Range dock
as usual. warped his boat into dock
alongside the Amphidrome, just astern
the North West. He aid this so that
a number OF passengers on his boat
could make a quick transfer 10 the
North West for passage 10 Duluth.
These passengers had 10 hurry as
the North West was about 20 cast on
when the Pere Marquette let down her
rang-plank and the officers OF the
North West did not, at first, under
stand the actions OF the other craft.
The connection was made IN good
shane however. and all was lovely.

ronage on these trips Is good. Twen-
tv-one passengers left the North West
at this port. among whom were the fol-
lowing: J. II. Seager and party, De-

GREAT LAKES RADIO.
Offices a, Many Ports on Great Lakes

Not only did the operators and those
I'm charge Of the local offices have diff
hculty in transmitting messages, even
oy the wireless telegraph means, but
there was some trouble for the head
officials. it is claimed. in the New
York offices. where government inves-
tigation was going on.
The company claimed TO be superior
TO all other wireless companies, for
IL had a means of communication by
telephones. But the telephone system
did not work. nor did the company
MAKE much effort, it is said, to use
such a system.
The government contends that the
company is not acquiring business by
legitimate means when it claims To
furnish communication by a telephone
system. Many other companies, op-
Grating wireless telegraph systems,
claim that the telephone system is an
impossibiilty at this time, although
they are all busy trying 10 invent such
scheme. and are hoping to perfect
the system soon.
But the Duluth office, as well as the
other lake offices of the Great Lakes
Radio company, is closed, and no mes
sages were transmitted to any boat
on the lakes, nor between any two sta
tons.
In the meantime. the company which
established the telegraph system here
year ago. is still operating, and the
mariners must be content TO receive
their news Of the world. while on sea,
through the telegraphic system, until
some more successful company can
give them telephones on board.

The Federation

The character of the programs pro-
vided for the late gathering by the
club women of Maine, is in striking
and delightful contrast with those of
a decade or more ago. Humanity
with it's present and future needs is
now the central theme, and this fact
alone is of deep significance. 1t is
another bit of that cumulative eyi-
dence that the Maine of the future
is to be quite different from the Maine
of the past.
Skowhegan was indeed fortunate
to be elected as host for this occa-
sion. The ideals and standards thus
placed before our people must ulti-
mately become those of the town, for
to very large degree the public
conscience is in the custody of the
fair sex. THE hand that rocks the
cradle" is today more potent thar
ever before, and it BODIES well for oul
country that it is so.
