T. Cox, Minnesota state forester, is in favor o of utilizing the wireless telephone as a means for keeping in touch with the different sections of the forest area of Northern Minnesota. - Rangers and foresters are now dependent on'the telephone for communication in carrying on their various lines of work. ‘There are more than 500 miles of wire strung in the wooded regions of the north for this purpose, but it has been found that on many occasions these wires are torn down by severe storms or ‘“‘put out of commission” in othet ways. g . With a syStem of wireless telephony, the con- ditions of wire trouble would be eliminated and would add materially to the effectiveness of the " Fintered at the Postoffice at Bemidjl, Minnesota, as : Seoond-class Matter, under Act Congress of ¥ March 3, 1879. et , MEMBER," NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION' \ Advertising Representatives @.

It has been tried out with marked w:cess: by the Canhdian government in Vancouver, B.-C., and in that territory it has been found es- pecially efficient as a protection against fire. Although installation of the system in Minnesota is at.present merely in the formulative period, the “Minfiesota forestry officials believe that it actually will be placed in operation in the reasonably near fyture. - E 1 It ‘has been estimated that the cost of getting such .a system under way would be comparatively - small. Neither the sending nor receiving apparatus {4~s0 very expensive and once installed, the upkeep is neminal. If MrLox is able to bring about a successful wireless system of communication and on top of that dévelops uis airplane patrol service, the prob- lem of keeping in-gouch with all parts of the forest zone will have been §olved, and, naturafly, it will inean an impetus for sdttlement.

He raised his broad-rimmed hat, smiled, took the bag, and pressed her hand as though he was very glad to see her. “Bill Dale!” she cried joyously above the roar of the passing train. “Bill Dale, it's you!” “Sure, it's me!” laughed Dale, “How good you look! I can hardly belleve it's you." \ “But it 1s,” she smiled. “Tell me: iwhat do.you think the outcome o’ your trial is going te be?” Dale noted that her English had im- proved, and it was gratifying to him.

Dale and the Morelands owed the Lit- tlefords nothing. ; Dale understood, and he gave her a- sympathetic glance. “A few of the boys and girls of the Littlefords are going to school in Car- tersville, perhaps one from each fam- ily,” he told her. “It is rather ex- ! | pensive, you know, en account of the Doarding, and they can’t -afford to send all their children, However, I think—ultimately—your people will have their chance for education, too.” “Byt it won't do much good to edu-! cate one out ¢ each family,” said Eilz- abeth. “They’d come straight back here when they got through with their achoolin’, and soun fo'git—I mean for- get!—it all.
