American Radio Waits While Brown Men Do Their Visiting Over the North Pacific.
Operator on Watson Is Five Hours Striving to Get Opportunity to
 Send Dispatch.

Radio operators on Japanese ships, especially in the Pacific Northwest, are chatting with each other so in- cessantly with their high-power in struments as to make the handling of legitimate business between Ameri- can vessels and shore station prac- tically impossible, last night said Op- orator Newbill, on the steamship Ad- miral Watson, voicing complaint made last week by Operator Hill of the steamship Victoria and many other radio men.
 | Many complaints have been made to the bureau of navigation, they said, concerning the incessant vlo- lation of the international agreement as to the use of the air for radio communication, but no relief has been given. The Japanese pay no atten- tion whatever to the rights Of oth- CTS, the radio men declare, and spurn the agreement for co-opera- tion which their government entered into with all the binding moral force of a compact.
 'The Japanese operators are chin. ming" with each other all the time said Operator Newbill. One JaI ship will report position and forth. with all the other Jap ships in the Pacific will begin responding, pass ing the time of day, all keeping II constant touch with each other.
 Captain Glasscock gave me mes sage at Cape Spencer, on the way up and it was five hours before I coulc get minute for the transmission o the dispatch. The Japs were con tinually at it, in their jargon. Some thing must be done about it. Sucf interference with business, monopoliz the air, would be fatal and cos lives in time of emergency"
 Operators on the Alaskan steam ships are keen to establish the rad iophone magnavox concerts iron Seattle and other places in the socia saloons for the enjoyment of pas sengers, including dance music health lectures and singing. but thi! treat is made impossible by the In cessant "chin-music" of the Japan csc gossip.
 "When we finally manage to gel the air for a moment and demand time for a message, the Jap will re- ply thank you to our internationa code and resume his gossip. It ii an intolerable situation." said Oper ator Newbill.

ENGINEER HALL APPROVES BRIDGE AS NECESSITY

Marvin Hall, consulting construction enginer of the commission, was at the scene last September and approved of the bridge as an imperative neces- sity to this section. He is expected to have his design for the permanent bridge ready by the time Engineer Luken completes his preliminary test ing work for the foundations.
 In the neighborhood of the bridge site three large hydraulic gold-min- ing plants already are in operation, one owned by Howard Burch, brother of Stephen Burch, president of the Copper River railroad, on Dan creek, and another owned by H. F. Andrews, on Chittitu (copper) creek.
 "The new bridge will open up vast new country at the head of the Chitina river" MT. Lukens said, making ac cessible a richhly mineralzed section
 which ought to have been opened ur twenty years ago"
 Two efforts have been made in the past to bridge the treacherous glacial stream-one structure put in by the ! Territorial Road Commission, which was washed away, and the Federal Road Commissions bridge, which
 shared the same fate. The new
 bridge will be of such massive con ] struction, having advantage of pre- vious experience, as to withstand the elemental forces which heretofore were found to be unconquerable. The bridge will be in the neighbor hood of the great Nizina glacier. Pre- viously lake formed alongside this glacier, damming up the canyon to the 1 top of the ice plateau. A gravel nor aine formed-a kind of immense pot hole The last bridge was built in box canyon, with piers down to bed rock 10 to 14 feet. The glacial flood rose ten feet above the structure and sluiced out the channel. taking crit and all. This might not happen again in fifty years, Enginer Lukens said
 but every precaution will be taken this time to safeguard the bridge in maximum emergencies It Is impossible to do any develop mont work speaking of in the new (Continued on Page 6)
