WIRELESS IS 10
BE EXTENDED
Juneau: Th& Marconi Wireless
company lias plans for extending its
service In Alaska. Regarding pro
posed Improvements, the Seattlo
Times says: - «
Marking the Initial step in a
great exte>nslon of the Marconi I
Wireless Telegraph company's Al-1
aska service, John R. Irwin, bu- j
perintendent of the corporation's1
northern division, with headquart-1
ers in Seattle, will leave the lat-1
tcr ivirf of the month for Seward to
select a site 'or a new commercial
wireless station.
With the construction of tie sta
tion, the comoany will enteo* the
commercial field In the vast South
western Alaska region for the first
tlna It now covers the Southeast
ern Alaska field, having powerful
commercial staionn at Ketchikan and
Juneau. These two stations con
nect with Hadley, Wrangell, Peters
burg, Tieadwell, Douglas, Haines
and Skagway through a wire ser
vice. Taey began operations Sep
tember 1, last.
The extension of the service
mean3 more competition for the gov
erument cable system betwien Al
aska and the coast. In preparing
for tne construction of a commercial
station in Southwestern Alaska, the
wireless company anticipates a
heavy volume o" business as a result
of construction of the government
railroad. The Diana adopted by j
the company provide for a 25-kilo
watt station ■which will he able to
work with the Ketchikan station. (
The competition offered by; the |
Marconi company forced the gov
ernment to adopt a night letter rato
on its cables. For years business 1
houses in Seattle und Southeastern
Alauka have complained of the
high cable rates, but the night let
ter schedule Is the only concession
granted so far. The Marconi com
pany established rates 40 per cent
lower thau those of the government.
Its schedule cf charges, day or
night, is lower than the govern
ment's night letter rata As a re
sult the wireless company .is
handling a great volume of busi
ness to and from Southeastern Al
aska, its October business sihowing
a 5'J per cent gain over its Septem
ber record. It handles a large
amount of code business.
Several coast records have been
established in the company's nor
thern service. In one case the reply
to a message sent from Seattle to .
Southeastern Alaska, reached this .
city &0 minutes after the sending of I
the message.
