The crew of the Spanish steamer Millan Carrlsco Is reported to have perished when the vessel foundered Thursday off Lu arcn. was wonderful, but to send the recog nized voice part way over wire and part through the air was still more wonderful and was the demonstra te of the chiefest use that will probably attach to the wireless as amplifying and supplementing, not substituting, the wire system and bring Into conversational communi cation ships, Islands and places which can not otherwise be reached. Your work has indeed brought us a long step nearer our "Ideal'' "A" univer sal system. "Signed, THEODORE N. VAIL." Sept. 30, 1916. "As you will see from this it is clear that wireless will never substitute or supplant the wire systems but will greatly amplify them and extend their usefulness. It Is humanitarian rather than commercial, but it Is useful In that It makes conversation possible between places, and between places and moving objects that could not be connected by wire, as with the wire less telegraph It probably never will be dependable enough except as out lined above.

Ten thousand national guardsmen GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL HERE IN COIMON WITH FIGHT BEING MADE ON PREDATORY ANIMALS s. K. Piper, scientific assistant in the bureau of biological survey, was here yesterday In connection wi'h the campaign which the bureau tl Inaugurating throughout the west against the predatory animals The purpose ol the campaign Is lo control the ravages on livestock and game by coyotes, wolves, cougar and wilil cats. The work has been un dertaken In response to an appeal by stockmen which resulted In the appropriation by the last congress of tnS.OOO. for the purpose of check ing predatory animals on the nation al forests and public domain outside the forests. The affected region has been di vided into eight districts, in each of which a force of reliable expert hunters is being organised for worn under the direction of an Inspector, throughout the year. These hunters are being paid JT5 per month and are not allowed to collect bounties. The skins and skulls of animals ta ken by the hunters become govern ment property. E V.

However some fa vored the managerial Idea, and ad journment was had for one week to ascertain the state of public sentiment upon the latter question. La Grande's experience with a city manager has been so satisfactory that It appeals lo many from a business standpoint. It seems likely, according to Judge Lowell, that substantially the same charter as was voted upon two years ago will again be presented. It was carefully drawn, nnd really embodies the manager, he says, the duties be ing exercised by the three commis sioners In their respective depart, ments. Judge Lowell, who was chairman of the committee two years ago. states that when the sentiment of the pub. lie has been ascertained during the coming week, a new steering commit tee will be selected, nnd an active campaign instituted. Street speaking in explanation of the proposed sys tem, and upon the general situation will be Introduced. York Guardsmen of Greater New York moblliied on Saturday at Van Cortland Park it the northern end of the city and en gaged In the largest view of maneu vers which has ever been held by the New York militia. Governor Whitman reviewed the troops and cludes Oregon and Washington His permanent headquarters will be in Pendleton. All applications by hunters for employment should be addressed to him. The applications should include a statement of the applicant s age. experience in trap ping, the locality in which he is best acquainted, the amount of trapping equipment in possession, and should be accompanied by recommendations In writing from forest supervisors, officers of stock associations, or In terested stockmen who know of his work along this line. The co-operation of stockmen is invited in advising the inspector ot damage recently inflicted by preda tory animals, and in otherwise as sisting in developing the work. Much aid may be given especially by report on the presence of wolves and moun tain lions. While the entire situation cannot be met during the present year, It ia thought that an organization which will do effective work can be estab lished throughout the range country of the west and that many of the destructive predatory animals can be killed.
