station is to be erected here in the

municating with and checking govern

of two 100-foot towers, 300 feet apart,
and *11 be built near the new munic
ipal landing field. The plant will be
manned by a force of 12 men. It is
planned to equip each mail plane with
wireless apparatus and to put an op
erator aboard. These men will keep
in touch with the stations, informing
them of their movements and in this
way the government mail authorities
will at all times be able to ascertain
just where they are. This is not pos
sible at present as none of the ma
chines have wireless.
Small electric lights, operated by
wireless, will guide planes at night on
the transcontinental air mail route
between Cheyenne, Salt Lake and San
Francisco. The lights will be tuned
to the wireless instruments at the
the three cities in such a mann, r that
they will shine only when the air
planes are within a certain radio path
about 200 feet in width. When a ma
chine strays from this path the lights
will go out and the pilot will be
obliged to determine by the wind on
which side of the path he is travel
ing. An airplane's approach to its
destination will be signified by the
flashing on and off of the lights. The
process has proved a success in thor
ough tests, and is owned exclusively
by the United States government.
