During the past three years more than 70 radio sets were in constant use in isolated construction campi|} along the route of the new $40,- 000,000 main line of railroad built lk to shorten the distance between! San Francisco and Portland, while many more sets were in use on the South- ern Pacific's main line ' through Arizona. seh Throughout the summer and fall of 1924, when an average of 3,- 000 men lived and worked in the depths of the wilderness penetrated by the Cascade line in northern Califcrnia and eastern Oregon, ra- dio was especially noticeable as the principal source of relaxation and amusement. In some camps rough dance platforms were built by the men, who danced with one another to the music of orchestras playing from San Francisco and points east as far as New York. Radio brought the most remote camp into -instant contact with the news of the world, Noted preach- ers, prizefight news, bedtime stories, cooking lessons and music vied with each other to interest the men, both on the California-Oregon and Ari- zona eonstruetions. The sets used ranged from elabur- ate factory assembled = mulfi-tude outfits' to single-tube hook-ups. ENGLISH DEBATERS t DEFEATED IN CANADA Antigonish, N.S.
