Wireless 'Phones for Fires 



Speaking- at the i'acilic Logging 

 Congress, Air. M. A. Grainger, Chief 

 Forester of British Cohmibia gave an 

 account of the use of the Wireless Tele- 

 phone in forest protection. In May 

 antl June of this year installations were 

 made on three shore stations and on 

 five of the launches used by the coast 

 rangers. There have been certain diffi- 

 culties to overcome. Large wireless sta- 

 tions on the coast cause interference, and 

 in the neighborhood of A'ancouver the 

 street car service and other high power 

 lines create an obstacle, but, in spite 

 of these, good results have been secur- 

 ed. As an instance of this, a lumber com- 

 pany in Vancouver heard that a fire had 

 started in its holdings a hundred miles 

 away and was in conversation with the 

 local ranger in half an hour and had 

 his report first thing next morning.
