vetoed, which caused that popular
officer to be greatly maligned at
that time.
Beacon Was at Fort Shaw
Colonel Beacon, who was COM
mander of Fort William Henry
Harrison, near Helena, for some
time and who was also in charge
of Fort Missoula for many months,
was one of the daredevil officers
under General Brooke at Fort
Shaw while he was serving as sec
ond lieutenant. He was ready and
willing for a scrap with the In
dams and was always found near
the front when there was any Skin
to be done. Colonel Bea-
com visited the old fort a year or
so ago, while taking soldiers from
Fort William Henry Harrison out
for a march and upon his arrival
at Fort Shaw he camped there for
several days while the soldiers
we're put through their regular
drills and the regimental band
furnished the music, just as it did
years ago when he was rising
young officer. General Sanno Wis
tied Great Falls shortly after but
while here did not express any de-
sire to visit his old stamping
grounds.
"At the time that General Bea-
,om was here I had in my pos
ession one of the flags that had

crowd gathered was lost to him ex-
cept as he could mentally project it.
It was the general expression of
people who have lived in Great Falls
since the city was founded and who

the senator during the exercises that
there never had been program car
ried out in the city's history that
drew larger or more attentive
crowd, or one that was more orderly
or of finer appearance. It was de-
clared fine and fitting tribute to q
worthy citizen and 1t sent everybody
away happy that he had been present.

ligible code.
Telephones Later
The system of the Power company
at present is largely experimental. 1t
is absolutely necessary to have COM
munication between the power plants
at all times because of the danger to
generators and other equipment if
one plant is working blindly.
recognizing that conditions of the
elements often make telephone COM
munication impossible through line
troubles, the company found wireless
almost necessity. Their telegraph
system is to be replaced with tele-
phones after a due amount of inves-
tigatiOn and research. 1t is expected
that a range of 1000 miles will be
obtained for all three of the tele-
graph stations and enough power is
hoped for, to make telephone COM
munication between the plants a
surety.
With the aid of modern amp1ifiers,
which were much improved through
the war period, this range is almost
assured. Mr.. Van Denburg, who
spent 18 months in France with the
division, said that he and his
associates were able, with the use
of amplifiers, to pick up telephone
conversations from the German
trenches eight miles away, simply by
ground current.
Amplifiers Important
He explained that a wire would be
laid out in big circle, perhaps a
quarter of mile in circumference.
The amplifier would be attached, and
telephone instruments connected up.
BY means of the ground current, and
What few air waves could be picked
Up, the communications could be
'eadily heard.
The amplifiers being used by the
company have the power to increase
he ordinary wireless wave 1900
lines. With the aid of these instru-
nents it is hoped to overcome the
which have arisen at the
Butte station, but as yet the expert
nents have not been advanced to a
egree whereby it is possible to state
positively that success will crown the
fforts of those working on the prop
sition.
Mr.. Van. Denburg says that Mon
ana is the best equipped of any of
he interior states in the union at
resent.
