trict stations and paddywsgons,
sending and receiving criminal
news and accident reports.
All Keep in Contact
All highway department cars,
from sedans to repair trucks and
snowplows, carry shortwave radios
and are in contact with the olym-
pia or district offices at all times
Forest fire fighting crews also re-
lay messages Of big fires. ask for
help or report the controlling of
big blaze somewhere in the
mountains through the station.
While Lagerquist's main job is
handling the heavy volume Of mes
sages from highway department
and patrol cars. he also is in con-
tact with numerous other states
radio systems, receiving crime
news for transmission to Washing
ton City police.
Some 40 states in the nation
share in the network. so that news
of big crime is known the nation
over within a few minutes. Such
blanket coverage also will be valu-
able in wartime.
Relayed From Denver
Eastern criminal news is relayed
TO Olympia from Denyer's radio
and sent from here to Vancouver
and thence TO Portland for broad
cast over the Oregon state police
radio network.
Although he has been operator
of KNFG for only a year, Lager
quist has taken part in such major
news stories as the Morton army
bomber crash, the Oakville bank
robbery and the recent Narrowing
of q score of cars on the Naches
pass in a snowstorm.
Boats and Planes Also
The two state fisheries depart
ment patrol boats and airplane all
carry radios and are in contact
with Lagerquist, telling him their
positions and relaying messages to
their headquarters.
Another daily chore of the sta
ton is to compile the daily report
of road conditions all over the
state. District highway offices
gather the data in their areas and
send it to Olympia where Lager
quist gets out the statewide report.
showing just what roads are snow
bound, which are open, which
have slides or detours.
As a service TO skiers, the high
way department also gets data
from ski areas on snow depth,
weather conditions and tempera-
ture.
Attended Lincoln High
Lagerauist started his radio
work when he was In the seventh
grade BY learning the Morse code.
He lived in Tacoma II years, at
tending Lincoln high school. He
was a ham" radio operator for
four years and still holds a card
for station w7FCP.
Besides being a radio technician,
Lagerquist is a photographer, hav-
ing been attached TO the staff Of
the King county park board for a
time as official photographer.

she added honestly. Then, about
a quarter after nine. | went into
the library to ask Nancy if she'd
60 down to the fishing village with
me tomorrow morning, and Mark
started telling me l couldn'- marry
Dave"
1t didn't seem to me that they
were getting anywhere going over
and over the quarrels which. when
all was said, were not so terrible
after all. l think Captain Lancy
was of the same mind, for he sud-
denly turned to Cary.
I've been thinking about that
letter YOU received. Mr.. Essex. Did
YOU keep it? The n threatening
vou with DEATH he added, Cary
seeming beWildered at being thus
so bruskly recalled from his own
thoughts.
Il did"
I'D like it, please. The labora-
tory may be able to give US infor-
nation about it,"
Cary pulled out his wallet, Sc
lected the letter and passed it to
the detective. From his face l
thought he was glad to b. rid of it.
Again a confused sound of voices
came to my ears and, pompous as
ever, Horace Rand, accompanied
W Irene and Proctor, strutted in.
If l had thought Chief Crane brutal
to Kaye. l now had an opportunity
to see what real police treatment
vas like.
The chief rose and me, them at
the doc. Curly he greeted them,
and when Irene WoulC have tlut-
tered across the floor to Cary. he
ordered her into a chair on the
other side of the room. He sepa-
rated Ran. from his son and, re-
turning to his seat, yapped out:
Mr.. Rand, why did you shoot
Mark Gould?"
| have c a good many def|at-
ed balloons, but that was the first
time | ever saw a human being
look ike one. Rand's mouth dropped
open, his portly form seemed to
shrivel until he occupied only a
fraction of the chair he had so i'm
posingly filled. Irene uttered a
shrek. and Proctor looked from
| his father to the chief and back
again with such a nit-Witish e%-
preston upon his face that, serious
as was the occasion, l almost
laughed aloud.
'I-I-I-" stammered Rand
For once his hoW of language
