AERIAL MAIL
SERVICE LOOMS
BROADUS ON PROPOSED BRANCH
AERIAL MAIL ROUTE FROM
CHEYENNE TO MILES CITY

the Chamber of Commerce. Broadus
| has been unofficially designated as a
branch aerial mail route. from Chey-
enne. Wyo., to Miles City. Such are
the advices received by the Broadus
Chamber OF Commerce committee.
The ground work has already been
started for the Powder River Trail.
north and south through Broadls for
the passage OF eonveyances and with
IT now becomes the possibility OF
Powder River Trail for aerial mail
service.
1t may be mentioned that Broadus
! can meet all requirements for the loca
! tion of a landing field here and other
essentials in the establishment Of such
a STATEN.
A copy Of the correspondence rela-
tive to the aerial mail route. received
from the chief of air service. is as fcl
lows:
questlng information on the practica-
bility of establishing an aerial mail
service into Broadus, has been received
by this office.
"2. You are advised that the aerial
! ment is now working on it's plans to
establish the transcontinental mail
route from New York to San Francisco
through the southern half Of the state
Ct Myomins. It is also planed to es-
tablish branch lines out from the main
route to carry mail from the principal
tittcS .pll Tue me. II is quite pOSSlOle
that In the very near future an air
mail route. may be established up to
Miles City and other large cities in
Montana. in which case 1t is very like
ly that your city will be on the route,
say frcm Cheyenne to Miles city.
49, 1t would undoubtedly lie to the
interest Of Brca1us to have a landing
field selected in its vicinity. Aeronau-
ties as new type of transportation
has become entirely practical but the
lack of landing fields seems to be the
one great fartCr retarding it's develop
mcnt. The air service would appreci-
ate very much any endeavor your city
and club would make in the effort to
stablish landing felu a definite
answer as to whether an aerial mali
service could The field in the inn
mediate future. cannot be given at the
present mOmeslt
~ Enclosed herewith are landing
field specifications Tor the preparaticn
of a field. These specifica tons are a
general guide in the selection and
construction of Il field. 1t is quite prob
able that it will be difficult to select
an ideal field in the mountainous sec
lion OF the country in which you are
located, but even the sci e"iion Of
, 'ie'i which can bc classed as emerg-
tncy. would be an aid to the develop
ment Of the commercial ;leronautics IN

critirise Toaniey or other league lead

their efforts to impede the govern
,nents efforts. or their many uu.s

say, You are accusing the farmers

In North Dakota, they told their
members that they as farmers, were
being accused cf disloyalty. They
never fail to pass the accusation along
TO the tar1uer. aud the farmer, thus
attacked" rallies to the support of
his socialist leaders.
AS a matter Of fact; th.re would be
little nr no criticism Of a farmers Ncn-
partisan league. The business men of
Montana would rally TO the support OF
4 ia arnels' organization, controlled and
lnanasei hs the farmers, with an hs n
est purpose in view.
Ill, the Nonpartisan league is not IA
farmers organization. The farmers
have uo voice in its conduct and do
not shape its policy. They are not per-
mitted to say how its funds shall be
spent nor ny whom. They cannot call
an election and replace Iownley as the
