Sold at the mill and by McHenry merchants WEST N HLlttY FLOOR AND FEED KILLS It will probably b« of interest to many of our readers to tearti that C. D. Ross, a former McHenrv boy and a graduate from the McHenry high school, is now the manager of the Federal Telegraph company, a wire­ less concern, at Portland, Ore., which city he his made his home since leav­ ing McHenry about a year ago. The following clipping from the October 17 issue of the Portland Morn­ ing Oregonian is self explanatory: "A wireless message of condolence that Colonel Roosevelt will receive while convalescing in Mercy hospital, Chicago, was forwarded yesterday aft> ernoon by Hie Portland Ad club. The colonel was a guest of the. Portland o?^nization at its regular vjj^inesday luncheon three weeks ago. "On motion of .Lewis M. Head, the following message Was( authorized: 'Accept the sincere sympathy of the Portland, Ore., Ad club and our heart­ felt wishes for your speedy recovery. We deplore the unwarranted and un­ true attacks by publications and in­ dividuals upon our public men, leading weaklings and criminals to dastardly deeds, §uch as your attempted asses- sination.' "The message was signed by the com­ mittee appointed to forward the mes­ sage, Lewis M. dead, chairman; W. E. Com an and Fred Lockley. Np sooner had the motion passed than C. D. Ross, Portland manager of the Fed­ eral Telegraph company, a wireless concern, tendered the complimentary use of its service to convey the dis­ patch. Leaving the club rooms he im­ mediately asked all relaying offices to clear the way for a test message to Colonel Roosevelt from the Portland Ad club." We herewith publish a letter, in part, as received by us from Mr. Ross, the letter being dated October 23( "Yesterday I was talking with one of our # operators at the wireless sta­ tion and he told me that he was speak­ ing with Los Angeles direct the night before via the air {oute and LA told him that he had been speaking with Honolulu a few minutes earlier. That is pretty dog-goned good for wireless transmission of conversation, from LA to Honolulu, but Honolulu had better news than that. H told /LA that he heard CH calling KC and took ten messages that CH sent KC without a break. CH is Chicago and KC is Kan­ sas City, in both of which cities we have commercial offices. So you see Honolulu was copying Chicago and Kansas City. "Our system of wireless transmission is radically different than Marconi's and is bound to be the ultimate solu­ tion of the long distance- telegraphic business. Our company is experiment­ ing at present with a 50 k. w. set and have every reason to feel that they will have direct communication be­ tween San Francisco and Japan on the west and Chicago on the east. We will be able to handle all trans-Atlan­ tic cable business between New York and London and Paris as soon as our stations in those cities are completed, being under construction now. We have not got into the wireless business to ocean going business yet, as Mar­ coni has all the steamship companies that use the wireless at present tied up with contracts. Ultimately it is bound to all be Federal, tho. "But enough of 'wireless.' I guess I eat, sleep and dream about it and it is bound to get into my letters. "I have experienced my first rose festival and Portland certainly deserves the name of Rose City. I never dreamed that there could be so many roses in all the world. The streets were simply a carpet of them d-uring what they call the "battle of roses" and it seemed a crime the way people walked all over them. And in the residential district the roses grow in multitudes and are still in bloom. From the first smell of spring until way after winter sets in they keep in bloom. "And the winters here are a posi­ tive joke. Quite a bit of rain, but no freezing weather. Last winter we had, as close as I can remember, four days of snow. That was our real win­ ter."
