ON PROPOSED
"Y" TRAIL AIR ROUTE

An effort is being made by the back
ers Of the Yellowstone Trail ASSN.
and those interested in the possibilities
oil a national air route across the 7. S.
to establish a routing along the yell
lowstone Trail.
Letters have been sent to each of the
rtowns and cities along the Trail
cross the entire country to interest
them in the problem and give them
an opportunity to cooperate With the
! association to make this proposal
come true.
The association realizes that aviation
as a mode Of travel and transporta-
ton is a coming thing and to have 9.
route established across the T.. $. on
the Yellowstone Trail would add much
to both. Each city should secure 4
landin" site, and a camping site, they
both may be combined and thus make
an ideal place Tor travellers whether
they come by auto or by air. Mai,
service across the continent will be
only a matter Of a few yeats and to
have established landing fields for the
planes VIII insure mail service for the
city.
The proposition viii be brought he
Gore the public and the city council
and what ever action deemed posi-
bln and advisable al tbiS tip,a >yi11 ha
taken. Local Yellowstone Trail back
ers are favorable toward the PROPOSE
ton and think that tie city should no.
overlook this possibility.

the hall which will be rented out to

have been holding their meetings there
end possibly there are more that vii:
latter. The post will give several
dances thruout the year, which will
enable them to pay the expenses Of
! running the hall. The special meetings
and large gatherings of the post will
probably be held in Harmonic hall as
the X. of p. hall is too small to ac-
meetings OF the organization.

return to Wilmot and when about a
mile south OF town d Whim seemed to
suddenly seize the driver and he tuln-
ed TO 90 back 10 Corona. All this
time Reynolds was driving the car at
very high speed. A. this point O Neil
aid he became alarmed at the on
t'nued speed Of tle car fearing that
an accident would sooner o. later re-
suit. He made an excuse to get out
at this point and once out he said
unless Reynolds would drive at a
more moderate sueed. he, O'Neil
would walk. O'Neil said he received
no encouragement from the other
boys in the ar, who evidently enjoy
ed the sport and tool: sides with ReN-
nolds, %whereupon O'Neil left and
walked to Wilmot secured a room in
the hotel and went to bed. This was
at two o'clock in the morning. What
the rest Of the party did after that
time, or where they went he cid not
know, and knew nothing of the ac-
cidcnt until the following morning at
the breakfast table.
He said there had been a little liz
uor in the party early in the evening
but not enough 10 effect the aguili-
brium Of any OF them and that in his
opinion the accident was purei, a case
OF fast driving, and hal it was com
mon knowledge at Gracevi!le that
Reynolds was a fast tho able driver.
There j. plenty OF evidence that toe
car, a six-cylinder Oakland roadster,
was being driven at a terrific speed
at the time tire accident ocrHrafi.
/ here is 4 slight bead IN the + a.! lust
east of the bridge across the Whet-
stone at this point, and the indica-
lions are that the car was going so
fast that the driver did not see the
bend, but kept his eyes far ahead as
is necessary when driving fast and in
stead Of following the bend drove
straight ahead, down the side Of the
embankment until the front axle of
the car hit a projection of solidly fro
zen earth left b. a washout last sum-
mer. This threw the car out of bal
ance and it no DOUBT was hurled thru
the air a greater part Of sixty feet to
where it was found the next morning.
Beyond the machine a few feet Law
the dead mai with a wicked scalp
wound and fifty feet further lay Rey-
nolds, who Mr.. Torstenson took to
the hospital. The machine, which was
practically a new one, is a complete
wreck and it will not pay to repair it,
according to garage men. All the
springs We're broken, the frame badly
sprung and there are only fragments
left Of the top and windshield.
The time of the accident is not
known. 1t was about One-thirty when
O'Neil left the unfortunate men, and
five in the morning when Althoff came
to the Sample home. 1t occurred
sometime between these hours. It
must have occurred around four a.
m, for the night was bitter cold, the
thermometer ranging from eight to
ten degrees below zero, and the men
could hardly have laid out any longer
without being severely frozen. AS
it was their feet and hands are frost
bitten.
The condition Of the men at the
hospital is good and they will leave
for home in a few days. Mr.. Reynolds
wife and mother are here looking after
him and there are cars over every
day from G~raceyille with folks look
ing after them.-WIlmot Enternrise.
