FINNEGAN SAYS DRILLING
 FOR OIL IS NOT DELAYED

Ideal weather conditions during the latter half of October in the Kama tax district greatly facilitates the moyemen. of supplies from there 10 the oil fields. and assurances have been given by the companies that drilling for oil will begin by Thanksgiving Day, according to T. J. Firnegan, who is interested in claims on which drilling is to be done The first boom has subsided and there is 3 shri1kage of popula- tioE now in progress.
 Describing the progress Of the work and general conditions at the time, October ?, Mr. Finnegan said:
 This past week the weather has been cold and clear and the road in perfect condition, so that the Asso- ciated and Standard Oil Companies are using all four tractors and nov ing material to the lease in good time. Both companies are working three shifts on the tractors. If the weather holds up for another TWO weeks they will nave all necessary machinary, etc. to start drilling i'm mediately on the three leases they now control. During the early part Of this month we had several terrific storms, consequently the temporary road they built was nearly washed away, tractors stalled and material scattered between the beach and the lease. but now with the freeze-up they are getting their ragged ends together and I am assured will be drilling before Thanksgiving.
 T imagine the two companies are employing in the neighbor of 75 men. 50 per cent of which they brought with them. In the town of Kanatak there are approximately

recommended that stations of only
moderate power be used, spaced at dis.
tances Of not more than 1900 nautical
miles, the intermediate stations acting
as relays for the more distant.
There have been heated discussions
in England regarding the relative
merits Of the high-power, long g-dlstance
transmission systems in comparison
with the moderate power. intermediate
relay systems. There can be no doubt
that the system OF intermediate sta
tions viii give by far the most reliable
communication. largely on account of
the small variability of signal intensity
at shorter distances. And probably
for government purposes, where re-
liability Is Of more Importance than
volume Of traffic carried, the system
is superior.
The plans Of France fo- extremely
long distance communication are CEN
tered around the huge transmitting sta
tion now being completed at Ste
Assise, between Fontainbleau and
Paris. This station is expected by Its
promoters to communicate with Sal
gon, Indo-Chlna, $500 nautical miles

course, many nearer points"

T. j. Nally, president of the company,
who returned few days ago from
conferences in Europe at which a
working agreement was reached among
the great wireless companies of Eng
land France, Germany and America.
! From any part Of the United States
wireless messages may be relayed
| speedily TO Buenos Aires, South Africa,
Java, Calcutta or Melbourne, when the
radio building programs of the great
American and European countries are
completed. At present France has the
most powerful station In the world in
the American-built Lafayette towers
near Bordeaux, but this will be super
seded by the end of this year by the
Port Jefferson station of the Radio
corporation, which will be the most
powerful station in the world. The
station under construction at Ste.
Assise, near Paris, will be second.
The British wireless chain connect.
Ing England with the empire will have
one station comparatively close to
Argentina, and that will be the sta
tion at Bathurst, in Gambia. on the
extreme western point of Africa.
where the continents of Africa and
South America make their closest ap-
proach.
The stations Of the Radio corpora
tion in Cuba and Colombia are prac- |
tically completed" said Mr.. Nally. |
"and are waiting on the completion of
all the towers at Port jefferson before |
going into service. That will take place |
In December. Relaying from New York
to Cuba, TO Bogota and then TO Buenos
Aires will be possible but will be used
only as an auxiliary system. When the
Buenos Aires plant is completed next
summer II will send to and receive
from the Port Jefferson station dire ct."
All of the great systems will use diff
ferent wave lengths and avoid inter
ference, according to the agreement
reached at the conference abroad, for
the use Of similar wave lengths would
reduce to confusion high-power wire
