f Continued from Page One f United States. The situation ha, become intolerable and the Wa :, Department finally reached tn < conclusion that the only solution
 would be to move the station some where else.
 However, this is the logical loca.
 ton for such station as we have
 said Capt. Woolverton, "and before
 making any drastic move, the Seat
 tie office asked me to thoroughly
 Investigate every possible location
 within a radius of 10 miles of Sew
 ard for a possible receiving station
 location where interference might
 be obviated or nonresident.
 We tried many places and made
 many tests and I think I have
 found the place that meets the re-
 qulrementS. We will set up new
 receiving station a little ways east
 of FoTc1pine or the Signal Station road and about two miles north of ] Seward proper. Here the conditions are very good and should remain so II more electric motors do not get operating too near us.
 Tt involves quite an installation. We will have at least six complete receiving sets out there, in a build ing moved to the new site, connect
 ed with the town headquarters by l5 pairs of circuits in a lead sheathed cable, run out along the poles of the raildoad which kindly consented to cooperate with us. From the main line on the railroad will be in town but their receiving receiving hut. All the operators VII be in town but hteir receiving apparatus will be out there, where we will have a man constantly on the job, in three eight-hour shifts to care for batteries and keep watch on equipment"
 There is map on the wall of Capt. Woolverton's office with lines strung to Barrow, Nome, Fairbanks, ! lower KuskokWim, far Unalaska, Nulato, in fact all the government radio stations in Alaska with Sew ard as the nerve" center from which communica tions hurtle thru jhe air from all parts of the Terri 5ority. At the same time Seward is f possessed of high-power sending plant at the head of the bay from which messages are sent to all nese points.
 For years we have been trying to overcome Interference" in Seward md the best place we could find vas this station here on Sixth Ave- lue. But within the past three months the trouble increased to uch an extent that it was seriously the conduct of the Governments work. Much of this s ould have been obviated had the itizenS consulted us when they to install new motors lnce it is possible to buy such motor as will not create that inter erence. I most earnestly urge that E uture buyers Of motors do consult us for our mutual benefit because Ve want to get the best results in 'ur work and, as I have said Sew trd is logical place for this sta ion. It would certainly mean much 0 the town if we had to move away rom here.
 T cannot express too much ap- >reciation of the help I received rom some of your progressive clti- iens," continued Capt. Woolverton. TT. w Hawkins, II. " Hoben, Mayor 2 ;. V.
