TERMINAL FOR
BUS SERVICE
Interstate Transportation Com
pany Opens Up New Route
Min0t To Linton

Announcement of new transporta-
tion service which will divert con-
siderable traffic through Bismarck
was made today by J. G. Belanger, OF
the Interstate Transportation Com
pany.
Beginning May I the company will
put into service automobiles between
Minot and Linton, with Bismarck as
the terminal. One line will be from
Bismarck to Linton and return, meet
ing Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
trains coming into and leaving
Linton. Another line will be directly
between Bismarck and Minot. Start
ing the service, one trip will be made
between Minet and Bismarck each
day and Later on it is probable that
two trips from each city will he
made. There will be a turn around
at Wilton, which will enable Wilton
people to come to Bismarck, trans
act business or shop for few hours
and return home the same day, and
will also enable Bismarck people to
20 to Wilton and back the same day.
The company has ordered four Cad
lilac 1922 touring cars, model 81,
equipped with California tops, for the
Minot- BismarcklLinton service. With
auxiliary equipment an investment" of
$4,000 is being made by the CON-
pany.
I'VE have analyzed traffic from
east, north and west Of IMinot which is
Pdestined to points ,on the Milwaukee
road, such as Aberdeen and M0bridge,
very carefully" said Mr.. FBelanger.
1--WE expect to handle this traffic
which at present moves through
jamestown, Fargo and even the twin
cities. 1t can be diverted through
Bismarck at great reduction in ex-
pense and in saving IL to "a hours
time. Our service will enable per-
sons to leave Aberdeen at Z a. m. and
arrive in Minot at $50 p. M"
Mr.. Belanger, who was in the rail-
| road business for 27 years and form
erly was general agent Of the 500
lines in Minot, said that he had been
engaged in a study of the conditions
of travel in this section for several
, months, and that the plan OF opera
tion has been systematically and care
fully worked out. His company will
operate % cars in Bismarck and in
Minot.
Mr.. Belanger said that his company
had spent $4,000 this winter to keer
the Max4Minot line open in all kinds
of weather, and that next Year they
plan to build snow fences to protec
the highway as railroads spend none!
to protect their right-of- way.
A great development of motor serv
ice in Bismarck and western Nortl
Dakota is anticipated this year in th'
announcements Of new service bein,
made. R. F. Jager recently announce'
that he would install a bus line be
tween TNrtle Lake and lHismardk
which would enable Turtle Lake peo
Pile to do daylight shopping in tn

bound In my sentiments Of loyalty
to my own party" he also said.
Mr.. McCumber arrived here Sunday
for a two-day stay in the interest Of
his campaign for the Republican SEN
atc4rial nomination.. >gs.aelf .tSs-
Declaring that he had always ex-
peoted the attacks OF radicals but did
not expect to be attacked by men and
women "who believe as 90 In these
matters" the senator added:
1T is therefore something OF a shock
to retunn to North Dakota after a long
absence made, necessary by the fact
that not only Congress but the COM
mittees of which am member have
been in almost continuous session for
two years to find that some people to
whom naturally look for support are
opposing me for reasons which be-
lleve are groundless."
He then defended his actions In
supporting appointments of certain
North Dakota men to certain federal
positions, including the appointment
of Andrew Miller as U. S. district
Judge for North Dakota.
