prominent republicans have heretofore
been suggested as legislative candi-

names has not induced them to become
candidates. Among these mentioned
were G. B. Avery, Frank M. Dallam,

TAKEN BY SURPRISE.


Station Agent M. E. Reed received
handsome bronze medal Monday by
mail. On one side is the great seal Of
the United States and on the other the
words Presented for valuable service
rendered" Mr.. Reed is somewhat at a
loss to know how he happened to fall
heir to this medal, as there was not a
word of explanation vouchsafed with
the delivery. He says that some months
ago he read that congress was to issue
medals to those railroad men who re-
manned on the job and gave yoeman
service to the government during the
war and he supposes that the bronze
watch charm that he is wearing came
to him through that source.

EVIDENCE OF FOREST FIRES.

The heavy canopy of smoke that has
hing over the valley for weeks, and
apparently more intense during the
past few days than at any previous
time is indicative Of the destruction
that is going on in the forests OF the
s,ate So far as can be ascertained
there are no timber fires near OroViile'
but many fires are reported in Stevens
county, and much of the country west
of the mountains is in blaze. Ihe
loss from fire threatens to ae greater
this year than for a long time, and
there is little hopes of extinguishing
tho many conflagrations without rain.
That rain may be expected about any
time now, on the west side, although
there is little chance OF rain on the
cast side at this season of the year.

RAJ RAJ DO
MARC0Nl REALLY
FATHER Of RADIO
Story Of the Gifted Italians
Work In Development Of Air
Communication.

While experiments along the line
Of radio really started as far back as
1927 and hundreds Of scientists were
interested in solving the problems In
volved for many years, it was not I'M
til 1896 when Senatore Guglielmo
Marconi took out his first patent that
the mastery Of air communication got
its first great impetus. His life his
tory is to all practical intents the his
tory Of radio communication.
Senatore Guglielmo Marconi, G. @.
V. O., L. L. D., Disc. NJ. I. e. E., was
born In Bologna, Italy, April Is, 1874.
His mother was Irish, while his father
was Of family whose mechanical
ability was marked. After, an edu.
cation at Leghorn and Bologna, the
young man interested himself in the
problem of wireless telegraphy, start
ing his research in 1895. He went to
England and in 1896 took out the first
patent ever granted for practical
system Of wireless telegraphy, by the
use Of electric waves. His early ex-
periments in England were made at
Westbourne Park. Shortly afterward
Marconi saw w. II. Preece and
at his request made some experiments
for officials of the postoft1ce. Some
further experiments were made in
May, 1897, in the Bristol channel,
wireless communication being estab-
lished between Lavernock and Brean
Down, distance Of nine miles.
On the invitation of the italian
government Marconi afterward went
to Spezia where a land station was
erected, which was kept in constant
communication with two Italian bat
tleships working from a distance Of
IL miles. For this success the Ital
ian government conferred upon Mar
conf the honor Of knighthood. After
return to England further expert
ments were conducted and on July 20
1897, the first radio company was
formed and two permanent stations
erected. In 1898 wireless reports Of
yacht races in Kingston were made
and proved the usefulness and adapt
ability to which the system lends it

Including the Nobel prize, has not
given up active work, but is even now
engaged in radio telephone expert
ments.
Radio enthusiasts have increased
tenfold within the last few months, It
appears from survey conducted by
the Associated Press and covering the
central west, Kentucky and Texas. At
virtually all points from which re-
ports have been received, there are
thousands of radio sets, particularly
for purposes Of telephony, where at
most there were hundreds before.
While the sets are used chiefly for
pleasure and experience, they are be-
ing put to practical uses in many
cases. Numerous farmers are receiv.

police are receiving bulletins. Ser,
mons, concerts, health talks and style
talks are transmitted. Universities
and professional operators are coop.
Grating.
Approximate figures are reported
from various states and centers In
dicating the present number Of radio
sets. According to A. L. Benson Of
st. Louis, division manager Of the
American Radio Relay league, about
10000 radiophones are used In four
states as follows: Iowa, $1,000; Mis-
souri,, $4,000; Nebraska, 22,O00;
Kansas, 10000. In st. Louis alone
there are some 2,2OO. The radiophones
chiefly carry concert music, but in
many localities farmers have installed
them to receive market reports.
Correspondence from Texas reports
2e3 stations in Dallas, ranging inssize
from Y K. w. to 20 watts. and almost
equal numbers in other cities Of the
state.
Cleveland, Ohio, reports probably Is
600 radio enthusiastic, 1000 sending
stations in greater Cleveland, virtually
ali amateur, and 10000 receiving sets
used almost nightly. These estimates
exclude commercial sets. Cincinnati
reports 500 sets.
Indiana has $500 amateur radio sets
and indianapolis 1000 radiophones.
Wisconsin has nearly 1.500 stations
and the number Is said by Malcomb P
Hanson, University Of Wisconsin opera
tor, to be increasing at the rate Of five
day. Nearly 1000 sets are reported
in Milwaukee and vicinity.
North Dakota has number Of re
i ceiying stations and q few fair1,
powerful telegraph and telephone send
inR stations. The North Dakota Agri
cultural college Is planning to install

self to commercial purposes. In De-
cember, 1898, N1arcont installed ap-
paratus to provide communication be-
tween the South Foreland lighthouse
and lighthouse on the south coast.
In 1899 Marconi read paper on
"Wireless Telegraphy" before the IN
stitution of Electrical Engineers IN
London.
EARLY in 1901 telegraphic commu-
nicatlon was established between two
points more than $50 miles distant
and at the end Of that year Marconi
transmitted signals from Poldhu, IN
Cornwall to st. Johns, Newfoundland.
4 IN 1902 he received on board the
steamship Philadelphia in the pres
ence Of the officers, good messages
on the tape when at distance OF
over 1900 miles from the transmit
ting station and signals at over 2,ooO
miles. In December, 1902. the station
