Main 4165-06, Union Trust build liner. Free press special Ottawa March 20.the department of. The naval service which has control o f the wireless Telegraph system in Canada As not inclined to give very much encouragement to the proposal made by explorer Stefansson for the establishment of a wireless system in the Arctic regions. It will be remembered that. Or. Stefansson in a recent communication suggested t at a government wireless station should be erected on Herchel Island and that if such station were now there communication might. Be established with the missing -karl.uk. It was pointed out by the department officials that while it would of course be possible to establish wireless stations in the. Far North their operation would not be practicable. Herschel Island is now some 2,000 Miles away from the next nearest wireless station and with ranges of mountains intervening the Range of operation of each station would be comparatively Small. More Over the Small sized vessels such As the Karluk which go to. The Arctic have a wireless Range of Only about 100 Miles. With coastal stations or with the big and expensive stations which have been erected at port Nelson. The Pas Etc., the government is now getting exceedingly satisfactory results. Communication by wireless from the Pacific coast station at is i Mimault is now being had almost daily with Honolulu and there have been Days when the Canadian station has been in touch Clear across the Pacific with Japan. The station at port Rolson which has just recently been erected is now working remarkably Well. Communication Between port Arthur and port Nelson is said to be comparatively easy during the night when the atmospheric conditions Are favourable. Messages Are also being picked up at port Nelson from the Atlantic. It is interesting to note that the station at port Nelson was erected his Winter under conditions which severely tried the endurance and the heroism of the men engaged h the work. The steel towers Are 200 feet High and on the top of these the men had to work in temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 degrees below Zero. The government contemplates the erection of three other wireless stations in Hudson Bay and smalts so Aso provide aids to navigation from the Atlantic to port Nelson. One of these stations will be erected at Mancel is land near the Western Entrance to Hudson Straits. There will be a Sta Tion at Ash Inlet in the Straits and one on the Button islands at the easter Entrance of the Strait. The Poison system for trans Atlan tic wireless communication under agreement with the Imperial and can Adian governments As to rates will probably not be in operation before next summer.
