OVERSEE PHONE SERVICE
SOON TO BE IMPROVED
New Station in Scotland Will Ad-
vance Radio Communication
of Nations.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 4.-Considerable
Improvement in the transatlantic
wireless telephone service is promised
by the construction Of a new radio
station now being built by the British
government at Cupar, Scotland.
Measurements and tests carried out
in 1925 indicated that the north or
the British Isles was the ideal situa-
ton for transmission and reception
of telephone conversation with the
United States, and the Cupar station
is nearing completion. This station
will supersede the present station AT
Wroughton. Wiltshire, which is about
so miles from London.
British radio experts consider that.
although the present wireless tele'
phone service to America is not secret
| in the full sense Of the word, 1t Is
proving of such value that its intro
duction was fully justified Complete
secrecy, however, is. considered de-
srable, and with the opening of the
Cupar station. experiments to this
end are to be carried out by the
British post Office engineering staff

SEES MUCH PERIL
IN RADIO BUSINESS
Bellows Claims Purchasers

than $500,000,000 annually, has it's
foundation on perilOus ground. Henry

yesterday, that the manufacturers
should use care. business in Wash

from delivering the address in person.
He emphasized that 78 per cent of
the radio broadcasting stations in the
United States are owned by people
having no direct interest in any form
OF the electrical manufacturing or sell
ing activity, and that when q person
bought n receiving set he was then at

lively engaged in producing something
which. of and by itself. has no intrin-
sic value whatsoever. You cannot cut

for securing a particular type of serv-
ice furnished by the broadca sters.

Even Breaks Held Few.


There are probably not 10 stations
in the country which can show as
much as an even break between reve-
nue. from sale of time and operating
expenses" the commissioner said in
his paper.
Nearly all of the broadcasting on
which the radio industry depends is
today being carried for the sake of
creating public interest and good Will,
the dollars and cents value of which
is exceedingly hard to determine.
Should this interest and good will
fall off or those who are now provid-
ing more than rs per cent of the
broadc1sting discover that the sup
port of their listeners has tagged to
a point where it is no longer source
of indirect revenue, what would hap
pen to the radio industry? the com
missioner asked. The answer. he
said. would be the taking over of the
entire burden of national brOadcasting
by the industry or the complete col
lapse This. he pointed out, is the
reason why the manufacturers of cleo
trical equipment should be vitality in
terested in the relations between the
broadcaster and the public.

when the first herds started north,
Indians and Mexican outlaws tried the
experiment of slipping up to the herd on
a dark night, popping a blanket to SIAM
pede it, with the hope Of cutting of
some of the lead cattle and driving them
east to market. The practice did not
last long. The dead bodies Of a few In
dams and Mexicans found on the plains
told the story and was sufficient warning
to others similarly minded. The cow-
punchers were loyal to their outfit and
would fight for it quicker than they
would for themselves.
Terrific Electrical Storms
"One of the worst things that they had
to contend with on the trail was the ter
rife electrical storms so prevalent on the
plains, and along the Arkansas and Platte
rivers during the summer months. They
came on suddenly with a high wind that
blew the tent over and the chuck wagon,
too, if it was not staked to the ground.
zigzag streaks Of lightning tore through
the inky blackness Of the sky, followed
by deafening claps Of thunder that fair
ly made the ground tremble. Over and
around the herd the lightning was al

possible and the other half would eat,
change horses and the herd would be
started forward again. 1t would be kept
moving until the sun was low n sui
fcient water for the cattle would be
found. Camp would then be made, one
half the men would go in to supper,
catch up night horses and return to the
herd when the remaining half would do
the same. The herd would be grazing on
bed ground and by dark would all be
down.
"The nights were divided into four
periods. The first watch stood until 10
o'clock, the second until IL o'clock, the
third until 2 a. m. and the fourth until
morning. In case of storms or a STAN
pede, the entire crew was on duty and
remained with the herd until it was back
on the trail again, no matter how long
that might be. It was no unusual thing
for cowpunchers to remain in the saddle
SO hours at a stretch but they never
complained and not one of them ever
left a herd until relieved. OF all the
thousands of herds driven over the Texas
trail, there was never one lost or aban-
doned by the cowpunchers.

ways worst. Every man in the outfit is
u in the darkness n pouring rain,
riding around the cattle, singing their
weird cowboy songs in an effort to keep
the herd quiet. Two Of their favorites
were We Go North in the Spring but
Will Return in the Fall and w are
Bound to Follow the Lone Star Trail.
All at once comes a flash and a crash and
a bolt strikes in the midst Of them. 1t
is too much. The cattle spring to their
feet as one animal. There is a rafting
of horns and thunder Of hoofs as the
maddened herd dashes of across the slip
perry broken ground and the men riding
at breakneck speed to keep ahead of and
turn them; for the only way to stop them
is to throw them in a circle and mill
them. If a horse should fall it was GER
tain death to horse and rider and not a
few lost their lives in that way.
I'm the morning the herd might be
Is or 20 miles from camp and it would
take all day or longer to get them on the
trail again and all the cowpunchers
would be kept in the saddle without rest
or foo until all were moving along

wrapped the trampled form in his blan-
kets and laid him to rest.
"The greatest responsibility rested on
the trail boss. He had to know where
water was a day ahead and the drive
was MdO6 accordingly IuGI6 was one
dry drive 40 miles long. When there was
a long dry drive the cattle would be
watered and then pushed on away into
the night n if the wind was from the
north next morning, the herd would
travel along all right, but if there was
nc wind they would travel slow. If the
wind blew up from behind late in the
afternoon when they were suffering for
water, there was trouble. They would
bull that is try to turn and go back to
water, and it required all the skill and
best efforts of every cowpuncher in the
outfit to keep the herd moving forward
and hen it could not always be done.
Difficulties in Crossing Water
81 have seen a herd travelling along
only a few miles from where they were
going in to water, when the wind would
suddenly blow from a river behind them
The cattle would turn as one cow, start
for that water, possibly 10 miles distant
and nothing could stop them.
"a herd cannot be made to swim q
large river if the sunshine on the water
reflects in their eyes; nor will they &C
into a river if a wind is blowing and the
water ripples. In 1885 Ohm Lea, one Of
the experienced trail bosses, struck the
Yellowstone river with a herd. The vino
blew hard for three days and kept the
water rippled, and nothing would induce
those cattle to cross the river until the
water was smooth.

Less than half the usual number OF
forest fires were reported I'm the forests
of the United States this summer and
the cost of controlling and eXtinguish-
ing them was less han One-fOurth n
average yearly cost, }. e. kirScher, for
est inspector for the United States for
est service, said while in Montana
recently. About $500 fires were started
in all the forests of the country,
against the usual $500, and the cost
this year of eXtinguishing the blazes
was about $3OO,O 600, against the usual
3d. 900, 900, Mr.. Kirscher said.
Mr.. Kirscher, who has been in the field
for two months, inspecting the various
forests in the west, will retur nto Wash
ington, D. c., after completing a survey
Of the Montana reserves.
Reports from the forests in all parts
o fthe United States indicate, Mr.. Kir-
scher said, that the public was giving
more cooperation in the way Of prevent
ing the starting Of fires through care
lessness. In every district in the country
the proportion Of man-caused fires is
very considerably smaller than in previ-
years, Mr.. Kirscher stated. The
number Of fires in every district was
considerably smaller this year, due largely
to the favorable weather condition that
prevailed generally. Plenty Of rain and
humidity aided crews materially in eX-
tinguishing the fires that did start" he
said.
The only district in the United States
which suffered heavily from fires was
the district comprising Washington and
Oregon, where 524 fires were started dur
ing a Today period in August. OF these
fires, % reached serious proportions and
damaged considerable timber.
Mr.. Kirscher spent the month of July
in the forests Of western Wyoming and
southern Idaho, and August in Colorado
and eastern Wyoming. His duties consist
Of checking timber sales made in the
various forests, and in making surveys

water. A herd Of steers makes much bet
ter time than a mixed herd. There was
never any such thing as resting up or
laying over; the herd was kept moving
forward all the time.
"a company or an individual stocking
range would go south, buy the cattle and
notify his foreman to send an outfit to
some point south to receive a herd Of
cattle and t otrail them to somewhere in
Montana, and give him the brands and
money for expenses. There was a for

In these days of debating regulations
it was to be expected that the reputa-
ton of "WiId Bill" HickOk, the kingpin
of western bad men, should suffer. The
latest issue of the Nebraska Historical
magazine. quoting old court records,
destroys some popular illusions about
HiekOk. These o records shed new
light on an encounter which, probably
orally elaborated, gave HickOk his repu-
tatiOn.
The encounter was with the McCanles
gang and it was reported that, single
handed, Hickok killed 10 outlaws, per-
uniting only to escape-he himself
suffering a dozen o rmore bullet wounds
and knife cuts. But the records show
that the gang Of -desperadoes' consisted
Of only three men and a 12-year-Old boy,
all unarmed, n that wild Bill" did
the shooting with a rifle from behind a
curtain, never giving the victims a
chance.
The Court Records
The great fight" occurred on the old
Oregon trail in what is now jefferson
county, Neb. Hickok often recounted
how he beat back the McCanles outlaws
on the Rock creek stage n pony ex-
press station, where he was stable tender.
He subsequently granted an interview
which appearing in Harper's magazine Of
February, 1867, had much to do with
his reputation as a gunman.
The court records show that wild
Bill" was at the station with j. ". Brink,
stock tender, and Horace Weilman, agent.
David McCanles, with two friends, James
Woods and M. r.. Gordon and William
Monroe McCanles, his young son, came
to the station to learn whether some

Canles became angry, believing Wellman
might have spent it.
Wellman refused to reply with his re-
quest to come out Of the house. Wild
Bill" however, came to the door. Nc
Canles asked for a drink of water, which
Hickok gave him.. Then Wild Bill"
stepped behind a curtain and shot Nc
Canles, who fell through the doorway
n died with his son kneeling at his
side.
Woods and Gordon ran up to investi-
gate the shooting. Hickok, still behind
the curtain, shot Woods, who stumbled
around the corner of the building to get
his head crushed by Wellman with a
heavy hoe. Gordon was hot twice by
Htckok while trying to escape. He sue
ceeded in reaching the underbrush, but
Hickok, Wellman and Brink overlook
him and shot him to death as he lay on
the ground. The boy escaped an attack
by Wellman and fled to the woods. Later
he reached his fathers ranch and told
his mother Of the murders. He still lives

Victims Were Unarmed
According to the court papers, Nc
Canles, Wood and Gordon were not

within a few miles of the station, and

built the station and the money he was
expecting was in payment Of property
