ADMITTING WOMEN.
After hearing a communication
from the representative of the yell
lowstone Trail Aerial association at
Miles City pointing out the plans for
service between Chicago and Seat
/ tie and its advantages on motion Of
James T.. Mccarthy the board Of
trade unanimously voted to take
membership in the association, the
fee for which is $40 per annum for
cities under 5000 and S25 for those
above that figure. The letter from
Miles city stated that a plane would
soon ny over the route for the pur-
pose of inspecting landing facilities.
F T.. stone secretary of the Good
Roads association. stated that the
board of trade should formally give
its endorsement to the Osburn land
ing field II that was done he felt
sure that the county good roads as
sociation would also endorse it, and
as NJ II. Sullivan, of Kellogg is
president OF the good roads associa-
ton he believed this action would
result i'm getting the support of Kel-
loge for the Osburn field. The good
roads association VIII meet in the
Samuels hotel on May 3.
Acting upon this suggestion, DIR.
C. r. Mowery moved that the Osburn
field be officially endorsed, which was
carried.
Snow on the Summit.
Gus Ellars, road. supervisor of the
Wallace district and John II. Foss
of the Mulan district, recently made
an inspection of the snow on the
Idaho Montana divide in order to
form an idea of the cost of opening
the road Reporting his observa-
tions to the board of trade, Mr. Ellars
said that just above the Silver Cliff
cabin the snow is is or 20 inches deep
and increased to about feet in the
next half mile up to the timber.
Throughout the timber the snow is Z
feet deep and on the switchhack and
summit it is better than s feet From
the Silver Cliff cabin to the summit is
8 miles. from which it would appear
that opening the road at this time is
mo- small undertaking.
However, l.. +. Haniey stated that /
C.. r. Nerriam, mining engineer, had |
informed him that he had cleared |
snow for a distance of 5000 feet at a |
cost of about $50 and suggested that |
Mr. Merriam be consulted regarding
this job His plan is to cut trenches
across the road at intervals of 100
feet and says the air will do the rest
In about 10 DAYS.
It was also stated that John H.
Nordquist another engineer had of
erred TO clear the road for $500. pro-
-ided ne could have the use of the
county caterpillar, and it was tho
tense OF the board that he should be ,
