ANCHORAGE RIO
STATION HANDLING
WORK FROM SEATTLE
Because of the break in the
Washington-Alaska military cable
between Ketchikan and Seattle, all
communication business for north
ern Alaska is being handled via ra
dio direct between Anchorage and
Seattle stations, reports the An
chorage Times.
This business, which was taken
ever by radio when the cable went
out of commission about two weeks
ago, is being handled by the An
chorage station with about one
tenth of the power that will be
available when the new units are
in operation. Temporary antenna
systems are being used pending
the completion of the new system.
Fifteen tons of radio transmitting
equipment reached Anchorage on
one of the last freight trains from
the south, consisting of various
units which, when assembled, will
make two complete radio transmit
ters, each having a power rating
of 10,000 watts. The transmitters
were manufactured by the West
inghouse company and are of the
high frequency type, untilizing wa- j
ter-cooled tubes and rectifiers in
stead of motor generator units.
As soon as possible, one of the
transmitting units now in use at i
Seward will be moved to the An- i
chorage station.
It is expected that more techni
cal help will be sent to Anchorage
in the near future so that the local
station can be practically completed
by the first of November.

Genuine "BULL” DURHAM Tobacco at Sf marked the entrance of my father,
Percival S. Hill, into the Tobacco business. For 14 years he was President of The
American Tobacco Company. The fine quality and popularity of "BULL” DURHAM
were always subjects of great pride to him. Therefore, it is particularly gratifying to
us to offer this important saving and service to the American
public at this time.
