Northwest May Hear
"U" Station on Air
Former "WLAG" Equipment Turned
Over by Owners of "WCCO".

The equipment of the Northwest's
first big radio broadcasting station,
WLAG, erected in Minneapolis in
1922, will be transferred to the cleo
trical engineering building at the
University of Minnesota custodial
loan plan. The University will gu
arantee to keep the quipment in
shape so that it may be used as
substitute station in case the new sta
ton WCCO ever breaks down tenn
porarily. In return, the University
will have the use of the equipment
for such purposes as it deems pro-
per. The state institution will be
under no expense except that OF 5000
for removing the station to the CAM
pus from the Oak Grove hotel.
Transfer of WLAG will take place
about April l, according to Prof.
George D. Shephardson, head of the
department. That is the date on
which the Washburn- Crosby company
expects to complete it's new plant
between Minneapolis and Anoka,
which will be WCCO headquarters.
The board of regents, President
Coffman, and the electrical engineer
ing department, including c. M.
Jansky, radio expert, and Prof. Shep-
harrison, will work out plan for use
of the station by the university. 1t
will be used for experimental pur-
poses and station to station communi-
cation in any case. Some broadcast
ing may be done if an arrangement
can be made such that the campus
station will not interfere with WCCO.
Transfer of the equipment to the
university places high power sta
ton in the hands of the experts who
did the first broadcasting in the North
west. WLB, the university's broad
casting number, first sent music and
lectures through the air by radio tele-
phony in Minnesota. The new cleo
trical engineering building is fully
supplied with the auxiliary radio
equipment and receiving facilities
which will make the plant complete
one with the addition Of the WLAG
sending equipment.
The station will also be used by
students in the signal corps branch
of the military department.

An EarIyC Christmas
at Fort Smelling

The celebration of Christmas at old
Fort Smelling and Mendoza back in
S27-ninety-seven years ago-was a
noisy, genial, and even exuberant al
fair. This is disclosed by faded en-
try for Tuesday, December 25, 1927
in the manuscript diary Of Lawrence
Taliaferro, the famous Indian agent,
a document now in the possession of
the Minnesota Historical society.
Christmas in camp started early,
for Taliaferro records "Serenade
this morning at o'clock by the Mu-
sicians from Fort Smelling" After
this suspicious beginning matters
were quiet until daybreak, when SO
Rounds by the French Inhabitants of
the Post with the usual compliments
of the Season" occurred.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture of the Christmas festivities was
the participation of the Indians, who
seem almost to have overwhelmed the
agent by the ardor of their greetings.
Writes Taliaferro: Indians both
to have taken up within the last
this day in considerable numbers to
See & Shake hands & express the
feelings of day-which they appear
Men & Women called at II o'clock
Eight years from the Whites-the
feelings of their hearts were express
ed before / was aware by a few yell
low Kisses-& amusing Scene"
The Taliaferro Journal is one of
the most important historical docu-
ments in possession of the historical
society for it contains a wealth Of in
formation concerning Indian admins
tration and life on the frontier in the
twenties and thirties. The write,
served as Indian agent at ST. Peters
(afterward Mendota) from 1919 to
1910.

We brought with us the music we

of watchers at his bedside Or he may nger thus quiet
