WIRELESS
Messages Sent To Remote

Sac Paulo, Brazil, Nov. 2--In an in.
terview given to the press, Capt. Luiz
de Sa Affonseca of the engineer corps,
who has just returned from the Upper
Amazon, furnishes interesting data OH
the Acre region, recently in the public
eye on account of the short revolution
in the capital, SIENNA Madureira.
Capt. Affonseca, whose special mis-.
sion in the Acre territory was the in
stallation of wireless telegraphy,
speaks with enthusiasm of the resourc.
es and future OF the upper Purus and
Acre. In view of the amazing success
the German Telefunken Company has
had with the introduction and popular
ization of the system of wireless teleg.

nobody Is surprised; In fact It Is taken
! as a matter of course that the system
installed by Capt. Affonseca is the Ger
man and not the Marconi, which latter
he considers far less adapted for South
American requirements.

Xapury at the confluence of the Xapu-
ry and Acre rivers and at Tarauaca on

The captain says that the first ex-

communicate with Iquit0s. the Peruv-
ian port of the upper Amazon, with
Cruzeiro do Sui, SIENNA Madureira and
Rio BrancO, on the Jurua, Purus and
Acre rivers respectively and be was
able to distinguish communications be-
tween Iquitos and Lima on the other
side Of the Andes. Later on he was

In the opinion of Capt. Affonseca

Most of the settlers SO far have come
from the tropical state OF Ceara

states of Pauhy and Rio Grande de

Will Build to Hugoton

The grading gang on the Col
NOR extension on the Santa FEE
is now working within three
miles of Hugoton and will have
the grade constructed into that
town this week.
1t is confidently expected that
the track will be laid and trains
running into Hugoton by Christ
mas eve, and already the people
of that historic shortgrass town
are planning a big celebration
for Christman day to signalize
the completion of the first rail-
road into the town. Sublette,
one of the new Haskell county
towns, had its celebration last
Friday night. The whole town
united in the festivities, which
marked the opening of the towns
first business houses. There
was a general public dance in
the store building of S. e. Cave
& Sons, an oyster supper and
general ratification. An.orches-
ira from Dodge City furnished
music.
Satanic is the next to celebrate
and plans are now being made
for big ratification in that new
railroad junction town, which
probably would be held when the
postoffice opens there. w. A.
Custer has received the ap-
pointment as postmaster of the
new town.
Gradually buildings are being
moved from Santa Fe to the new
towns on the railroad. The his
toric old Santa Fe hotel, which
has been the towns hosiery for
many years, is to be moved to-
Sublett. The Willett livery barn
in use at Santa Fe for twenty
five years, and land mark there
is being moved to Satanic.
The right-of-way agents are
busy getting the deeds for the
extension of the new railroad on
through Marion county. Ernest
Wilson and E. M. Dean of
Richield are doing this work
M. Dean this week closed up
the deeds for practically ten
miles of right-of-way for the
new road in Morton county
south of the Cimarron River

President Bush aud Vice President
Brown that at recent meeting Of
the board OF directors OF the Denver
aud Rio Grande Railroad company.
New York City. II was decided TO
standard gauge the present marrow
gauge line over Marshall Pass be-
tween Salida and Montrose, Colo.
This involves widening the gauEe
from three foot TO four feet eight
and a half inches for distance OF
n hundred thirty-six miles ne a cost
OF approximately 100000
From 1854 TO 1880 transcontinen-
tai trains OF the Denver and Rio
Grande were operated over Mar
shall Pass. but In tho year last mon
toned the standard gauge line by
way OF Tennessee Pass and Glen
wood Springs TO Grand Junction
was constructed. and since then
through trains have been operated
over the latter route and the Mar
shall Pass narrow gauge line has
been reserved especially for tourists
and alghtsecra and such local freight
as originates In the narrow gauge
territory.
The Marshall Pass route. famed
the world over for ita scenic attrac-
tons. crosses the Continental Di-
vide At an altitude OF iO.s56 feet.
and the new standard gauge line
will cross at the same elevation
and preserve the many scenic at
fractions OF the old route.

the first. Ii perhaps the best known
crossing OF the Continental Divide.
