less telephone apparatus with a wire
telephone line. Mr.. Vail, in his talk,
used wire from New York to Wash
ington. At Washington, by special
means invented and developed by the
engineers of the Bell Company, the
wires were connected to special wire
less apparatus where, the message
went wirelessly to it's destination.
The Bell Telephone officials believe
that wireless telephony has an i'm
portant place in the general scheme
of communication. They expect that
it will form most important adjunct
and extension to their existing means
of communication, simplifying and
supplementing but not substituting
the wire service. 1t will enable com
munication with moving trains, ships
at sea, and other places where it is
impractical to extend wires. Tele-
phone officials says that wireless tele-
phony can never take the place of
wire systems because wireless tele-
phone systems are subject to serious
interference from numerous con-
ditions, atmospheric and others, and
that the fact that anyone suitably
equipped could listen in on a wireless
telephone talk, would be a serious
limitation to it's use. So.

WILL BE THERE IN SPIRIT.

Mayor John N. McGibbon has re-
ceived notification that he has been
appointed as delegate to the Jefferson
Highway Conference, to be held in
New Orleans, Nov. Is and 16, and
which Will have for its purpose the
determining of the route of the pro-
posed Jefferson Highway from New
Orleans to Winnipeg. Mayor McGib-
DON stated yesterday it would be i'm
possible for him to attend the confer
ence but added he would attend the
meeting in spirit and boost toward
having Sank Centre made point on
the route. The proposed Jefferson
highway is the latest development Of
the trans-continental good roads cam
pa1gn and Is intended to link the
north and south as other trans-contl-
mental roads are linking the east and
west. The value of good roads has
long been proved and conceded and
especially the value of inter-distrlct
thoroughfares. The proposed Jetfer-
son highway will follow the course
of the mississippi river and st. Cloud
and Sank Centre have been promi-
nently mentioned as points on the
route as it winds from Winnipeg to
the gulf. ~ rs.

is A LIVE PRODUCE MARKET
Outside Concerns Attracted to Sank
Centre by Local COmpany's
Activity in the Field. ID.

J. B. Schoenhoff is confident that
Sank Centre is destined to become a
big produce market center. He points
out that during this week Barney
Fehling hauled load of onions all the
way from Elrosa to the local market;
also that Henry Berling brought In
load of onions and cabbage from
Metres Grove. This is unusual because
produce raisers in those regions have
for years been disposing of their
wares in market places to the south.
Mr.. Schoenhoff points out further
that during the week he has been Wis
tied by representatives of two big
wholesale produce concerns, who were
attracted to Sank Centre for the first
time and entered into negotiations to
secure business connections with ]. B.
Schoenhoff & Co. These representa-
tives were: G. o. Inness, junior mem
Der of the firm of WILDER & Inness of
Kansas City; and G. w. Quickenbush,
representative of the CHS m
Brokerage Company of Springfield,
Ill. In both instances these buyers
were brought here by information
that Sank Centre. has new produce
plant which buys from producers
throughout the entire farming dis
trict. A business deal was closed with
one of the houses and the other is
pending. -..

TALK 1900 MILES BY WIRELESS
Bell Officials Send Telephone Mes
sage from the Atlantic Coast
to Hawaii.

Wireless telephony from the At,
lantic coast to Hawaii, 1900 miles,
distance greater than from Seattle to
Toxic, Japan, is an accomplished fact,
By the special wireless telephone de-
velopments which have been made by
the engineers of the Bell Telephone
System, speech was transmitted last
Wednesday night from Washington,
ID. c., to wireless station near Homo
lulu. This last triumph came but a
few hours after Theodore N. Vail, the
President of the Bell Company, had
talked by wireless from New York to
John J. Carly, it's chief engineer, who
was at Mare Island near San Fran
cisco.
This wonderful wireless telephone
message from Washington to Hawaii
had to pass over the whole of the
United States before it encountered
the more simple wireless conditions
which exist when sending over large
bodies of water. For the purpose of
this test the sending was done from a
wireless station at Arlington, just
outside of Washington. The receiving
was done on a small wireless station
specially erected for the purpose by
the engineers of the Bell Company at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
The results obtained in talking by
wireless telephone from New York
and Washington to San Francisco and
Hawaii, were the elimination of long
and very important Investigations and
discoveries which have been made by
engineers of the Bell Telephone Sys-
TEN. These Investigations have ex-
tended over a considerable period.
During the early spring of this year,
as result Of the work already done,
the engineers of the telephone COM
pany talked over distance of about
$50 miles, using for the purpose an
experimental tower which they had
erected near Montauk Point, L. l.,
and a small tower borrowed for the
purpose at Simon's Island, Ga.
The results of these tests so con-
clusively demonstrated the correctness
of their work and its possibilities that
steps were Immediately taken to try
distances comparable with those in
volved in transatlantic telephony,
and, indeed, even looking to trans
Pacific telephony. What the results
of these further tests have been is
shown by the talks to San francisco
and Hawaii.
Another interesting feature OF the
tests was the connecting of the wire

A CLOSE CALL FOR BREWERY
Cold Spring Company's Plant Nearly
Destroyed by Fire Monday
Damage of $4,000.

Cold Spring, Oct. 26.-What was a
close call for the Cold Spring Brewing
Co.'s plant at Cold Spring Monday
afternoon, turned out to be compar-
atively small loss when the damage
done by the fire was gone over. The
fire started shortly before three
o'clock yesterday afternoon and ragged
for about three hours, during which
time the main plant of the brewery
caught fire and the pitch house burned
to the ground.
The fire started in the upper part of
the pitch house in some unknown man.
ner and with the high wind blowing
from the west, rapidly swept over the
entire building. The flames were car
ried to the main building time and
again. It took the combined efforts of
volunteers who arrived in automobiles
from Eden Valley, Rockville, St.
Joseph, and Richmond, to keep the
big building from going up in smoke.
All efforts to check the blaze in the
pitch house, were futile and of no
avail. 10y
Although the exact loss is hard to
estimate exactly on account of the
damage done to the main plant, which
is believed to be comparatively small,
the company believes that the dam
age done will reach $4,000, which is
covered by insurance.

DROP IN POTATOES

Henry Rose has come to the con-
clusion that there is something to
successful farming besides raising
and garnering crops. In fact, he is
firmly convinced that marketing pro-
duce is an equal science with plant
ing and harvesting. About year
ago Henry purchased a small farm
on the west side of the lake. This
summer he put in his first crop. Last
Friday he started into town with the
first fruit of his labors to convert it
into cash. The fruit was a double
aox load of potatoes. Henry had
driven about two miles when some in
stinct impelled him to turn and look
back. Letting out wild whoop at
MS team, Henry vaulted from his seat
to the ground and rushed to the rear
of the wagon. A stream of perfectly
good potatoes was leaking from the
wagon box to the ground through the
tail gate. AS far as Henry could see
ais eyes met trail of potatoes. Fran
tically Henry worked for several min
utes to stop the leak and succeeded III
making temporary repairs until the
next farm house was reached where
hammer and. nails We're available.
just how many bushels of potatoes
Henry scattered along the road he
will not state, but he admits that he
lost all the profit on the load with
which he started from home. Neither
will Henry admit that in his short
farming experience he had not learn
ed that end gates to wagon boxes are
held in place by screw rod. The rod
was later found at the farm as evil
dence against him in his attempt to
prove that the rod had worked out OF
place and was lost.

W. A. Moore, of the w. A. Moore
Land Co., purchased three attractive
farms in this vicinity during the last
week. In the Unity region, Raymond
township, he acquired from AdolDh
Lietz 80 acres of improved land, half
a mile south of the Unity church. Mr..
Lietz has moved to Birchdale. Near

ENGLISH PEOPLE VERY BUSY
DR.. Kirghis, Formerly of this City,
Writing From England, Finds
British in Favor of War.

DR.. A. ]. Kirghis, formerly of Sank
Centre, now of St. Cloud, who left
several weeks ago on a business trip
to France, writes from England that
he finds the British much in favor of
war. The letter was received by Mrs.
Kirghls and the st. Cloud Times
makes comment as follows: .-.-
Mrs. DR.. KrghiS is in recent of
a letter from her husband. DIR. Al. j .
Kirghis, who left about a month ago
for France. The letter was written
on October 9Th at Folkestone, Eng
land, where the Doctor was waiting
at that time for an opportunity to
secure passage on a ship to take him
to the French coast. He stated in
the letter that he would have to go
by way of Dieppe. Owing to the
requisition by the government of near
ly all passenger boats for the trans
portation of troops between England
and France, the passenger service is
very much restricted. The Doctor
says in his letter that Folkestone is
filled with troops and that he noticed
a large contingent of Canadian
forces. at is as difficult to get off a
boat these days as it is to get onto
one" writes the Doctor. every pas
senger is subjected to rigid examina-
ton and innumerable questions must
be answered. l not only had to have
my passport vised but had to be pho
tographed second time and had to
provide myself with special permit
to travel through the war zone as the
course of my journey is designated.
People in the United States can form
no opinion of the state OF things over
here during this war. Contrary to
my expectations, business, however,
does not appear to be seriously inter
fered with. As matter of fact, peo-
pie seem to be more busy than usual
and find them very enthusiastic and
much in sympathy with the war;

Lyceum Course Assured.

a meeting OF the Dermott i.yceum-
Chautauqua Association was held pur
suant to call at the Hotel Dermott on
Thursday evening of last week. for the
purpose of considering the Lyceum
course for the 1866 season. A spler
did group of attractions offered by the
Alkahest Lyceum System of Atlanta,
Ga, was decided upon. and sufficient
support was promised by various bus
mess men of the town to justify the
signing of the contract. Dermott Is
certainly to be congratulated upon the
intelligent. enthusiastic, progressive
spirit of her business men. We only
wished that Ham Moses might have
witnessed more than thirty of them
unhesitatingly pledginE their support
and their financial assistance if neces-
sary. Those who heard him on the
Chautauqua Boosters trip can imagine
the kind of speech he have made.
While sufficient support was assured
to justify the course the list II still
open and it is to be hoped that every
business man in town will put his name
on it before the season begins.
The course will begin in October and
includes the following attractions,
which will be given at intervals Of
approximately one month:

A casual reader might think this
