OUR FOUR WIRELESS STATIONS,
READY IN EIGHT MONTHS, . ißy Telegraph-Press Association.) Dunedin, January 17. An interesting statement relative to th 4 wireless stations proposed to bs established in New Zealand was made by tha Prime Minister at St. liilda last night. Sir Joseph Ward said that the first wireless station at Wellington had already received messages . from a distance of. 800" miles. He would reach Wellington in a day or two, and the Government would then accept tenders for the erection of wireless stations in New Zealand, two of which would be high-powered,' and four low-powered stations. He hoped that one of the low-powered stations v;ould be at the southern islands, where there had been many vessels wrecked on their way from Australia to London. In 1 the nexit eight mouths the Dominion would have a thoroughly up-to-date system of wireless stations, and when they were in operation, New Zealand would not be behind any other country in the . world. • They would be in communication with every passenger steamer around our coasts, and would be able to communicate at night time with any vessel, within ;HOO or 1500 miles.
