MESSAGES FROM DULUTH HAVE
BEEN PICKED OUT OF THE AIR
BY BOYS WHO HAVE OUTFIT.

Frago, N. D., April 23.-Of the many
Fargo people who anxiously awaited
news OF the Titanic disaster as obtain
ed from the Carpathia, but few were
aware that wireless messages are daily
being sent back and forth in this city.
But this is a fact, for Fargo is the
home of "wireless club.o
The club is composed of boys about
16 years Of age, station for receiv-
ing and sending messages being the
requirements for membership. Some of
the boys have been experimenting for
two years and over but it is only late
~ that they have gotten down to ths,
system and formed club.
The officers of the club are Kenneth
Hance, president; John Bathrick, vice
president; Earl Reineke, secretary.
treasurer. Towards shutdown is favor
able time for sending messages and
every afternoon from o'clock is a
busy time for the club members. They
have gotten the code down so that they
can hold quite lengthy conversations
with each other.
A little over mile separates two of
the stations but the boys never have
the least trouble in communicating.
The sending apparatus is the weaker
point of all the local outfits but it IS
more than sufficient for local needs. The
induction coils used will give an inch
spark and send message about five
miles.
But the receiving stations are very
good and the youthful amateurs have
very good reasons for believing that
on one occasion they had connection
with Duluth, MINI. No local instru-
ments were working when the message
was heard. Its pitch gave evidence of
high power transmitter and it came
too rapidly to be the work of an anna
teur. It was heard three different
times between and o'clock. A few
Of the letters were made out but be-
cause of its speed and indistinctness,
none of the boys could read it.
The closest wireless station is at Du-
luth, so miles away. That all the mes
sages are not heard is probably due
to the fact that the Duluth station is
directed over the great lakes and sends
its strongest waves towards the east,
also the stations are little used in win.
ter. With the opening of navigation
on the lakes, the big wireless stations
will come more into use. Earl Reineke
and Kenneth Hance have large aerial
100 feet above the ground and 10 feet
long, which they will connect up with
instruments in hopes of catching more
Duluth messages.
John Bathrick has a very fine receiv-
ing outfit for an amateur. His present
six wire aerial 60 feet high and IS
instruments, is capable Of receiving a
feet long, coupled with his first class
message from distance of 600 miles.
Members Of the local club are trying
to interest boys in some of the nearby
towns and get them to put up stations.

a sort of 1913 model.
This is based unnn the THEORY nov
being discussed in Franco for pro
portional representation. but Oregon
fed so that the French could not
recognize it. Briefly the scheme is
to abolish the state senate and have
but n assembly of sixty members.
Any candidate polling onc-sixtieth of
the total vote of the state will be
elected. Thus the socialists or pro-
hibitionists. hT combining their votes
on n candidate. if their vote was
one-siXtieth of the total, could elect
him. Blu there is yet another kink.
Each member of the assembly will
cast not one individual vote. but the
total number Of votes he received. A
man elected with $4,000 votes will
have five times the power of a man
elected by but 5000 votes This idea
is called proxy voting. by which every
voter will cast his vote for every
measure. Then not only the gov
ernor. but his defeated rivals, are to
be ex-officio members of the as

ceived in the election.
There are several other variations,
but this prospect is sufficiently dizzy
ing to persons not accustomed to
have such things sprung on them
every six months or so. The promot-
ers of this plan, enrolled under the
title of the Peoples Power league,
believe that if it Roes through "popu-
lar government will at last be a re.

exactly the same faith in the earlier
plans which this is to supersede we
had better wait until they prove their
