BIG WIRELESS IN CANADA
PACIFIC CABLE BOARD ACTIVITY TESTING SITES NEAR VANCOUVER. (DXITIO PKEIS A1SOCIAI1ON,—0OPTRI1BI.) CAVSIRALIAN-NKW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION) (Received 27th November, 11 a.m.) VANCOUVER, 26th November. The Marconi Company and PaciHc Cable Board officials have about completed rival surveys for great wireless stations in the vicinity of Vancouver. It is presumed here that the Pacific Cable Board's plan is to handle as much business as possible by wireless instead of by duplicating its cable, if the wireless method is found satisfactory. Experiments have been conducted at several, points along the coast from Vancouver City, as well as at other sites a hundred miles to the north, but whether the proposal is to connect with the stations to be erected at Fanning Island and Suva, or to. transmit direct to Australia, has not been learned. In any event, it looks like a race between the Pacific Cable Board aril the Marconi Company for a license, because it is evident that two high-power world stations M. this vicinity would probably interfere with each other.
