Land at Fort Lincoln Bismarck hes been chosen a control station on the route while other cities, as Fargo, Miles City and Glendive, have been passed up. This was due to the record made last year by the local field committee when the Spo- kane air derby was flown. Major John T. Fancher, who managed that race, set the seal of approval on this city in a complimentary letter of thanks in which he said Bismarck had led all the airports in expeditious servicing. The grounds at Fort Lincoln are being smoothed out, all rought spots will be marked by red flags and today a large white circle 100 feet in di- ameter is being made. New wind Socks are being prepared, and every- thing is in readiness. Colonel W. A. Alfonte has detailed a sufficient number of his men to police the grounds, to guard the planes over night and to effect order at all times. Field Staff Here O. W.
