Telephone Sets Will Arrive, but Engineer Allen Doesn't Know When. The wireless telephone sets which it is proposed - to establish on a number of the high elevation forest lookout sta tions this summer are tangled up in the red tape of the war -department, accord ing, to C. M. Allen telephone engineer of the forest aervice. That the sets will eventually arrive, there is no doubt, but numerous other demands upon the war department have held up the telephone sets. Kadio ex perts and government officials have al most universally agreed upon the effi cacy of the wireless telephone for use in reporting fires.' eliminating as it does the paralysis of communication through the breaking of telephone wires by snowslides and avalanches. The only objection raised, according to Mr.; Allen, is that the system would require forest service lookouts with a technical knowledge of the operation of the instrument. While this is true, ilr, Allen believes that enough wireless op erators, both professional and amateur, would be glad of the opportunity to spend a : vacation : manning one of - the forest service lookouts, and that no trouM would be experienced in getting all the labor needed. ,; The wireless sets could be obtained in San Francisco, according to Mr. Al len,", but the forest service . is not au thorised to expend mores, than $500, whereas the contemplated sets will cost several thousand dollars. 1 ; ; In the dim . and roseate future Mr. Allen is always far seeing it Is the aim of the forest service to establish a look out house upon the summit of Mount Rainier, which will be equipped with a wireless telephone, the apparatus; to be transported by airplane.-. The summit of Monnt Batoier; offers ; an - excellent landing place for airplanes, according to forest service . officials, which will eliminate the slow and irksome process of hauling both the. parts of the look out house and Its : equipment, up the steep and treacherous slopes of the mountain. . , . - -. ; Clly, to Build Highway r Aberdeen, Wash., April 12.
