NEWS FROM HOUGHTON
CAUSFl0f CLOSING RADIO
WIRfIFSS STATION HERE

Many Houghton people have been
wondering why the station Of the Rad
10 Wireless Telephone company at the
Douglass house has been closed for
the past three weeks or more. two
weeks or so after the date upon which
IL was opened. Some OF these people
have also wondered whether the station
would be reopened.
The company which installed the
Houghton station and those in the 9TH
er towns around the great lakes was
called the Great Lakes Radio Tele-
phone company. In the foregoing sem
tence the past tense is used advisably
because. according 10 latest advices.
the concern OF that name is no more.
Another has been formed to take its
place and also that OF several other
similar concerns all affiliated each
with the others and the stock in all OF
them owned by about the same indi-
viduals.
II seems that these individuals have
recently gotten together I'm New York
city and organized a ten million dollar
corporation, calling il the North Amer
lean Wireless corporation. While all
this has been going on. the former
small company closed the Houghton
station and several others around the
lakes, in order il is said, to save the
expenses during this period and until
the new company is fairly on its feet.
II is rumored that the new concern
win again open the Douglass house
station and that before ii does so It will
make some changes in the aerial which
is above the hotel, making it have a
longer stretch, as this is the only trou-
bic the operators found with the local
station or its equipment.
