Cities Are on That Line; Al- ternative Via Aberdcen ‘The northern airmail route through Bismarck has been the subject of re- newed correspondence between the aviation comrittee of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce and H. P. Goddard, secretary of the Association of Commerce here. ‘The secretary and The Tribune both are in receipt of let- ters and circulars from D. M. Mervin, sceretary of the aviation committee. hearing on the subject. which came up before the session of congress Ju closed in the form of bill 16. establish the rout? as the ¥ transcontinental airway, a memor to the Wright broth adopting existing lines to and from New York to the Twin Citics. The bill was proposed by Alle: Furlow, representative from Minn sota, and set aside an appropriation of $50,000 for a survey of posed memorial route. It of the efforts made at St. Pa kane and Seattle to work up ment for the airway to practicality aud st ing routes sen hov > exist- The Ford reliabilit Year and the ind flight of Nick Mamer with a wom: passenger fron: Spokane to Mu apolis proved the adaptability route. With those as a b: resentative Furlow went his bill in the house. The route, according to gathered by the Spokane chamber of commerce has a distance f 1,743 miles. while the Chicago-San Fran- | cisco transcontinental route following | the Union Pacific railroad, is 1,855 | miles in length. The annual mean temperature of the north route 35.5 degrees, that of the :idcon! aental route, 48.9. The January mean temperature north is 11.3 degrees. | that of the midcontinental. 17.7. i In the matter of altitude, the north- | ern route is far more preferable to | that through Cheyenne. The aver- | age altitude of the proposed Wright route is 2.200 feet, that of the Che: enne route, 4.650. The highest alti- tude on the northern route, between Bozeman and Butte, Montana. is 6.500 feet. On the other route an altitude vf 9.500 feet is encountered in the | Wasatch mountains. The Cheyenne | altitude is almost as high as the high- 2st point on the northern route, being 3,200 feet. Wind conditions are iar more fa- vorable on the northern route. On the Cheyenne airway the wind blows with terrific force. Aviators have a jest that the wind gauge at the Wyoming capital is a log chain, but shat it has to be renewed frequently. | as the wind whips off the links. Two routes have been proposed for the Wright route. The line which would take in Bismarck in general follows the Northern Pacific railroad, as the cities to be served are mainly along this route. An _ alternative route, veering off at Miles City, Mon- tana, and passing through Aberdeen. S. D., has been charted, but this loop would serve no cities betwer Miles City and St. Paul except Aber- | deen. The route through Bismarck, therefore, is a preferable line. | The local Association of Commerce | will cooperete with the Spokane | chamber in :dvancing the fortunes of the proposed route, legislation ob- tained from the legislature for the establishment: of an airport here being in line with that purpose. Municipal Light Plant Ts Talked at. Dickinson Dickinson, N. L., rch &.—A gen- eral mass meeting has been called by William Kostelecky, president of the city commission, to hear the protests ef electric light, heat and power con- sumers who are dissatisfied with the service given and charges made by the North Dakota Light and Power company here. Scores of complaints have been filed with the city commis- sion during the past two weeks against the practices of the utility zompany and it is possible that action leading to the cstablishment of a municipally controlled electric plant may be taken at the meeting which will be held next Monday night.
