Manuel, of Portland, s ecial representative of the United Wireles« Telegraph Co. has been in Bandon for a few days arranging for the in stalling of a wireless station at this place. Mr. Manuel informed the R ecorder that the station was an assured fact and would be iust -lied just as soon as the company could get "around to do the work. There are a number of stations being in - stalled along the coast and each will receive attention in its turn, but at the outside it will only be a few months until the station will be in operation. The United Wireless company is negotiating with a number of steam ship lines doing business along the coast to equip all their vessels with wireless, and the probabilities are that every ¡every steamer and many sailing vessels plying along the coast will be equipped in a short time. It may not be generally known, but the fact is that there is a bill pending in congress at the present time to compel all ocean going ves sels, whether passenger or freight, and whether steamer or sail to equip with wireless for the protection of the passengers and crew', as well as the vessels. Mr. Manuel was very much pleased with the prospects for his station at Bandon and thinks it will be a paying proposition from the start. The wireless has contracts for es tablishing many hundred stations in the United States in the near fu ture and are negotiating with four teen different countries of the world for the establishing of systems. The United Wireless is the outcome of about twenty-five different compan ies that have started at various times and they are now combined so as to push business with all rapidity. A station at Bandon will be of almost incalcuable value both in a commercial and a maratime way, and_citizens here are very enthusiastic over the new station which is so soon to be installed. Mr. Manuel will be here quite frequently during the next thirty days in the interests of his company and will push the work as rapidly as possible. From all appearances it will not be long until Bandonians can send messages to their friends on board the vessels coming into port. The station will be a great pro tection to vessels in time of storm and will do away with much of the perils of sea faring. Notice Bandon, Oregon, Feb. 15th, 1909.
