AlLBANk 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
Of national air route across the I. S.
to establish routing along the Yel-
lowstone Trail.
Letters have been sent to each of the
towns and cities along the Trail
across 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 mode of travel and transporta-
tion is a coming thing and to have q
route established across the L. S. on
the Yellowstone Trail would add much
to both. Each city should secure y
landin" site, and q camping site, they
both may be combined and thus make
an IDEAL place for travellers whether
they come by auto or by air. Mai,
service across the continent will BIZ
only a matter of few years and tc
have established landing fields for the
planes viii insure mail service for the
city.
The proposition viii be brought be
Gore the public and the city council
and what ever action deemed posi-
BILE and advisable al this time will be
taken. Local Yellowstone Trail back
erS are favorable toward the PROPOSE
tion and think that the city should ne,
overlook this possibility.

Harmonic Hall for the coming year,
the lease to start on April i. This
gives the Legion the exclusive use of

a surprise to many OF the citizens TO
find out who has it. The city has no;

balance divided up among the Legion
posts in Revillo, Strandburg and Mil

fit OF all ex-service men. The fund is
the over subscription on one OF the
