ST.PAUL--W
AIRPLANE Line
IS PROPOSED
GREAT NORTHERN TO GIVE
STUDY TO PLAN TO SAVE
DAYS TIME

ST. PAUL.-Plans for a st. Paul
to Wolf Point Montana air line to
connect with the Great Northern
! passenger trains will be discussed
here at an early conference by of
ficials of the Transcontinental Air
Transport, Inc, and Ralph Budd,
president of the Great Northern.
Mr. Budd Friday announced that
he has considered the feasibility
of joint air-rail passenger service
from st. Paul to the Pacific coast
and that an air line to Wolf Point
would save one business day in
travelling to Seattle or Portland.
A west bound passenger could take
a plane here in the morning. fly to
Wolf Point, connect there with the
passenger train which left ST. Paul
the night before and reach Seattle
one full business day ahead of the
train.
Officials of the Transcontinental
Air Transport who recently con-
tracted with the Pennsylvania and
the Santa Fe railroads to make air
rail connections on the southern
transcontinental air route have
had their eye on the northern
route and have asked railroad exc
cutives to discuss the question
with them.
Budd Is Interested
While Mr. Budd did not indicate
that he has been "sold" on the idea
of air-rail transportation, he de-
clared that he is deeply interested
in this transportation develop
ment and is anxious to hear what
aeronautic experts have to offer.
In connection with this develop
ment in northwestern aeronautics
it was learned Friday from relia-
BILE sources that a movement is on
foot to pool all the air line COM
panies operating to the south and
west out of Chicago into one huge
combine which Will use the nor
thern route through st. Paul and
across Montana to the Pacific
coast. This will be in competition
to the Transcontinental Air Trans
port and the plan to organize the
air line pool is the first indication
of an air transportation fight for
supremacy which promises to rival
in bitterness the railroad war of a
quarter of a century ago. Such a
pool would include among other
lines the Northwest Airways, Inc,
operating between ST. Paul and
Chicago, and the Boeing line from
Chicago to San Francisco.
Opposed to Control

CONVENTIONS

HELENA, May 30.-Candidates
came flocking last week toward
the standards of both MOTOR par
ties and the lists to be considered
by voters at the July primaries
heightened to II for the demo
Gratis and 27 for the republicans,
not including contests for district

ed a candidate by democrats. Sam
V. Stewart of Helena, former gov
ernor, and Sam Teagarden of Den
ton. al newspaper man, are in the
race as his opponents in the prim-
ary. Mr.. Wheeler included a
statement favoring good roads,
reduced charges for farmers on
projects, lower
freight rates on agricultural pro-
ducts, legislation to equalize condl-
tions between farmer and manu-
facturer and extension of the ma
tion's credit to the west.
s B. A. TayIor, superintendent OF
schools in Garfield county, seeks
from the democrats an opportun-
ity to try for Scott Leavitt's seat
in congress. Down with the tariff
and up with the farmer" is the
slogan on which Mr.. Taylor will
make his campaign.
Judge Henry L. Myers asks the
democrats approval for reelection
as associate justice of the supreme
court. He is serving, by appoint
ment of Governor Erickson, the
first two years of the term to
which the late Justice Holloway
was elected in 1926. There are
several republican aspirants.

ney, became a candidate for the

CROSS CONTINENT
FOOT RACE ENDS

NEW YORK, May 27-Through
a forest of empty seats-strange
contrast to the trails of the Rocky
mountains, the parching winds of
deserts, and the concrete of city
pavements-55 survivors of Char
lie Pyles' trans-continental foot
race plodded to the end of their
weary trail of 3,422.3 miles in
Madison Square garden Saturday
night.
Andrew Payne, the sun-blacken-
ed 21-year-old son of an Oklahoma
farmer .nursed the wide lead he
had held for several days in the
final 20-mile grind over the ce-
ment floor of the garden and won
the first prize of $4,000 Pyle of
fered the winner when the fantas-
tic iaunt started "a days ago in
Los Angeles. John Salo. who fin
ished first in the run from Suf-
fern, n. Y, to his home town of
Passiac, n. j., Friday, and led in
Saturdays lap, was second. He
finished Is hours, 50 minutes and
80 seconds behind Payne to win
$4,000.
Philip Granville, Hamilton, Ont,
was fifth in 4:O9:01, clinching
third place and $4,000 for his total
efforts. His elapsed time was
613:42:30.
Most of the sun-baked plodders
believed Saturday that the most
they could expect as reward for
the iaunt that covered 3,4223
miles would be the exercise entail
ed and their names in the papers.
They believe that Pyle no longer
controls the financial destinies of
the race and lost 100000 in the
venture. The promoter declared,
however. that the prize winners
will be paid off next Friday night
when 24-hour race will be stag
ed in the garden.
