AGAIN
P0STP0NES HIS
OCEAN FLIGHT
35-mile Gale Over North At
lantic-Suggests Flying to
India Instead

cranwell. England, Sept. 7.-(P-
Charles A. Levine again postponed
his transatlantic hop today, weather
reports showing that a 35-mile gale
was blowing over the north Atlantic.
Levine and his pilot. Captain Wal
ter Hinchcliffe, arrived early this
morning at the Cranwell airdrome,
where their monoplane, the Column
bia, is in readiness. They were re-
luctant to postpone their attempt
again. but bowed to the advice Of the
meteorological experts.
Some of the weather men with
whom Levine was in touch said three
or four weeks might elapse before
good flying conditions over the At
lantic could be expected. Levine
suggested. in view Of this. that the
Atlantic flight be called off and that
Ithe hop be made instead in the di-
rection Of Karachi. India. Captain
Hinchcliffe, however. demurred and
asked that the waiting period be ex-
tended until September Is.
Hinchcliffe is still hopeful Of start
ing tomorrow or Friday.

RED TRAIL TO
BE GRAVELED
Board Appropriates Funds
For That Purpose = All
Gravel From Fargo Here

Gravel surfacing Of the Red Trail,
L. S. highway 10, for its entire length
across Burlcigh county by next
spring was assured Tuesday when
the Burleigh county commissioners
voted to appropriate the necessary
funds for completing this work and
instructed the highway commission
to put the balance Of the job under
contract as soon as possible.
Contracts have already been let for
gravel surfacing the Red Trail in
Burleigh county with the exception
Of about II miles in the eastern part
Of the county, and the work is now
either in progress or viii be started
soon. The highway commission will
prepare plans and specifications for
the last open stretch as soon as pos
siblc and bids will probably be asked
on the job in the October lettings.
1t may not be possible to complete
the work this winter, it was pointed
out today by II. {. Frahm chief high
way engineer. but if contracts are let
late this fall the work can be done
early next spring.
Dream Comes True
This action on the part Of the Bur-
leigh county board brings to a real
ity the dream Of many years past Of
having q gravel surfaced road from
Fargo to Bismarck. The road is sur
faced from Fargo to jamestown ut
the present time and the entire dis
tance from Jamestown to the Bur-
leigh county line, with the exception
Of ia miles in Kidder county, is
now under gravel contract. Bids
have already been asked on the 17.4
miles in Kidder county not yet con-
tracted for and this contract will be
awarded at the next letting. The
work already contracted for will be
completed late this fall and the bal
ance will be done early next spring
so that by the early summer OF 1928
the Red Trail will be gravel sur
faced for its entire length from FAR
60 to Bismarck.
