LANDING FIELD NAY
Be DESIRED HERE
POSSIBILITY OF AN !AIRPLANE
SERVICE FROM BELLE
FUCRCHE TO MILES

With the organiza tion Of the North
west Aircraft Corporation at Newell,
IS. D., local Importance is attached
from the belief that sometime in the
future an airplane service may he
established from there to Miles City
via BrOadus and with the culmina-
tion of such project landing field
would be desired here.
Newell is down the valley from
Belle Fourch, distance of about
"a miles. 1t is reported here that
about dozen airplanes are owned
by the company there and it is ,ex-
pected to place aerial navigation on
a commercial basis. From Newell to
Miles City is only distance OF
about 240 miles and it would not
be surprising one OF these fine morn
ings to discern aircraft floating over
head in this vicinity. From Broadus
to Newell is a distance of about 14O
miles.
The first commercial use made of
the Newell aircraft was few days
ago when two men piloted ma
chine from Belle Fourche to Alzada
TO execute lease on oil land. The
roads were impossible at the time
and on their return trip they car
ried mail over three weeks old. The
trip Of As miles was negotiated with
out mishap in 81 minutes.
