the Montana Power company a permi,
to reopen the plant for limited COM
mercial purposes" There are five

Of wireless station from amateur to the
official government plants.
In the application for its permanent
license, the company has asked for per-
NIT to operate in wave lengths of $50
and LOO meters. The government re-
serves for itself all wave lengths of
from 600 to 1000 meters.
The towers received here in 1917
will not be erected at the present time,
says Mr.. Dow. One steel tower Is to
be installed here after a time is $50
feet in height. and two others are 12j
feet high. The tower at Thompson
Falls, 200 feet in height, has already
been erected, and the Butte tower is
also 200 feet high. The Butte tower
is said to have the highest altitude of
any aerial in the country being approx
mately 5000 feet above sea level.
Have Better Equipment
Much better receiving equipment has
been installed recently than was in use
before the war. The company has
profited by the advance made in the
science during the conflict, and now
has the standard receiving equipment
which was used for war purposes.
The local plant would be able to COM
municate very satisfactorily with Butte
and Thompson Falls if it were not for
interference of various kinds, accord
ing to Mr.. Dow.
Wireless signals are seriously affect
ed and sometimes destroyed by general
atmospheric conditions and what is
known as static" is extremely difficult
to eliminate during the early summer
because of atmospheric disturbances.
Receiving and sending can be done
very satisfactorily. however, at Volta

STATED conditions This interference
will disappear entirely during the latter
part of the season and is absent all

The separation of the sexes is evi-

One of the most modern commercial
wireless stations in the country has
been erected by hte Montana Power Co.
at its big power plant located at Volta,
II miles down the Missouri.
The temporary plant has been COM
pleted and is in service. Experiments
being conducted at the present time at
the station have proceeded far enough
to prove to officials of the company
that in short time this will be one of
the most efficient plants in the country.
The Great Falls station is one Of a
circuit of three belonging to the COM
pany, the others being located at Butte
and at Thompson Falls. The wireless
covering considerable period of time
and representing a heavy expenditure
of money. The work was made nec-
essary by reason of the fact that con-
tinuous communication between the
various company plants was badly need
ed, and the means was lacking.
The company decided to build its own
wireless, with view, later on, of de-
veloping n wireless telephone system.
All the present equipment can be used
for the latter line of work but some
additional equipment will also be need
ed.
Planned Better Communication
The experiments were started five
years ago by J. c. Dow, manager Of
the Great Falls branch. Montana Power
company, with the idea of developing
the wireless telephone for the estab-
lishment of constant communication
with the other two power plants. The
only line of communication between these
points was by commercial telegraph
and long distance telephone, which was
not always satisfactory. Approximately
twice each wear. according to Mr.. Dow
all lines between Great Falls and Butte
including all telephone and telegraph
systems, are suspended for a period of
a few hours.
This is caused largely by storms and
electrical disturbances, but was felt
that some better method of communi-
cation was desirable.
