wireless telegraphic facilities, but a
telephone wireless attachment is al
so included, "and from the latter one
can hear bands, musical concerts,
or addresses taking place 1000 miles
away just as plainly as If they were
being staged outside of the room.
Messages can be received over the
proposed wireless from any part of
the world, and the transmitting dis
tance will be 100 miles, the distance
allowed by the government for ama
teur plants. A generator, producing
1000 volts will furnish current for
the wires, and the towers will be 129
feet in height and the wires will be
stretched from the towers to the blulf
opposite the Hawley offices.
Mr. Hawley, Jr., who has taken up
wireless as a hobby, promises some
novel features in the way of enter
tainment as soon as the wireless
plant is finished. Included will be
musical concerts played in Los An
geles transmitted over the wireless
telephone to the Hawley building
here, and which can be plainly heard
in every part of the Hawley offices.
Not only this, but wireless telephone
messages can be heard 1000 miles
away and transmitted over the regular
telephone lines of the city by connect
ing the radio with the instrument at
this end.

stage an entertainment for the ..bene
fit of the school students of the Ore
gon City when special concerts play
ed by moving picture musicians at Los
Angeles will be transmitted over the
wireless telephone to the plant mere
and through the regular telephone -connections
to the high, school auditor

two months, and a crew of experts
will start construction soon. When
completed, Mr. Hawley, who is no no
vice at the game, will Btage several
novel stunts for the benefit of his
