LOCAL WIRELESS PLANT ANNIHILATES MUCH SPACE Message Sent Oat From San Francisco Readily Received la Amateur. Plant In La Grande. ...... . . ; ' - La Grande ia closer the rest of the world than most of the citizens are aware. It is not by reason of th railroad system, good a that is, nor by reason of the long; distance tele phone, quick as that method of com munication has become. All of these means of communication pale when compared to the system of making; the ether the medium of thought trans fereace. Residents living in the west part of the dty have seen the poles and the wires of La Grande wireless apparatus,' but have never been made aware of the fact that all communica tions that are, sent out within a radi as of 2000 miles, are caught by this system and acquaint the operator with the newest happenings of the world. One would suppose that by reason of the hills lying; around the valley like a huge barrier this communication could not take place. But the hills are no impediment to the secrets of elec tricity. Distress signals coming from ship in dire straits come to this man of La Grande and before the United Press flash the news over the country over many miles of wire and click it off on a telegraph instrument, this man knows the gl(,t of the hap pening. From San Francisco he gets reports that would make money to one relying on quick changes of the mar ket.' He knows of the approaching storm .or the sudden change in the weather, but as valuable as the infor mation might be to some one he is not licensed to divulge the contents of his messages to the public. - This is one of the factors that tells the inquiring man that the science is still in its in fancy and that the government must step in and put restrictions upon the sacrificing genius of some young am ateur lest the companies ' that have spent vast sums of money in the equip ment of big plants be robbed of the emoluments of the business by having amateurs pick up and sell to the pub lic statements that are for particular persons. In other words it means that they have not slcceeded so far in that they have not succeeded so far in sending the message to one particular. station without running the risk" of having 'everybody with an equipment catch up the same message. in the corner of a bedroom can be found this machine, and in the home of a local optician, O. M. Heacock, liv ing on East Main street As far as the equipment is concern ed it is just as complete as that of any Marconi station, the only difference being that the latter is vastly "more powerful and capable of sending ' a message a. greater distance.' ; For the purpose of giving the lay mind some kind of an idea how wire less messages are sent, the Observer sent a man to interview the owner and get a brief description of the machin ery. . The sending appartus consists of a key like the one used in every .telegraph office. . On an upper shelf is placed a transformer, better called an intensifier, the purpose- of which is to intensify the current and store the storage battery with power. This battery in turn charges the wires with electric life. When thiB has been done, which requires but an instant, the op erator is ready to send his dots and dashes. These dots and dashes cause vibrations of the ether and are trans mitted according to their intensity in every conceivable direction, just like the waves of the air.' On this same shelf there si a small machine having a rotary wheel with cylindrical plups in it . When the key is klicking off the dots and dashes a greenish spark is seen to cross from the rapidly rotat ing wheel. A constant hum as of some kind of buzzing is the result. The receiving machine is different In the first place there is a contriv ance that enables the operator. to dis cover if there are any other waves. By adjusting the same he is enabled to in tensify the report or to diminish it 1 Another machine called a tuner is an instrument consisting of a num ber of rounds of wrapped copper wire around a cylinder. The purpose of this instrument is to equalize the wire length of the sending station with that of the receiving station by moving a Bmall hand like indicator on the wrap ped cylinder to increase or decrease the length. ; Most of the machinery has been made by Mr. Heacock himself and operate perfectly. During the in terview he connected with Ed Riesland of La Grande who is also operating a wireless outfit and the tranemiesion worked like clock work, .. .. There are wireless stations in Mil- Ition, Pendleton, Walla Walla, Union, j North Powder and Halfway, all of which are in communication with the local station. They are Uevneed am ateure and cannot enrage in any kind of commercial .eettmunication without getting a special permit. The local station has a receiving ae paeKy of 2000 miles and a sending ca pacity of 60 miles and more. In the near future Mr. .Heacock- intends, to raise the poles of his outfit to in crease the sending capacity. Be calls is his plaything but understands all of the fine points. KIDNEYS AND BLADDER BOTHER Take Salta to Flush Kidneys Neutralize Irritating Acids. and Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority, lit kidneys filter this acitd from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and irf .r., causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times dur ing the night. The sufferer is in con stant dread, the water passes some times with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it Bladder weakness,- most folks call it ,because they-can't control urination.
