10 PRESIDENT T0 SEE IREATION AREA Will Visit Big Project, Then Go to County Fair in South Dakota Today. NEWELL., S. President Coolidge is coming here this afterncon to visit the Belle Fourche irrigation project, which has been responsible for turning many thou- pands of acres of prairie land into fertile and blossoming farms. He will he accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge and their son John, and after spending an hour or so looking over this inter- esting section, just north of the Black Hills, they will go to Nisland, eight miles distant, to visit the Butte County fair, for about an hour, before starting back for the Game Lodg In this so-called Belle Fourche irriga- tion district, which not so many years #ago was a_barren plain and the home of the Indian and the buffalo, Uncle Sam has spent about $4,000,000 during the last 22 years in developing a water supply and constructing ditches to build up a farming center. This suc- cessful irrigation was made possible by the diversion of the water of the Belle Fourche River into an immense storage reservoir, which holds more than seventy billion gallons of water. Has Giant Dam. This reservoir will be among the interesting things shown to the Presi- dent and his party. It required the construction of a huge earth dam, a mile and a quarter long and more than 100 feet high, and is said to be one of the largest dams of its kind in the world. This reservoir forms a lake .nine miles long and six miles wide, where fishing, boating and bathing are popular sports in the Summer. The project itself includes 1,000 farms with a total of 75,000 acres of irrigable land. The water is distributed to the land owners by 640 miles of canals and 4,100 irrigation structures. The principal crops raised on the project are sugar beets, alfalfa, corn and grain, but small acreages of in- tensively cultivated crops such as cucumbers for pickles, potatoes, beaPs and truck have proved profitable Twenty-six thousand acres given over to the raising of alfalfa are responsi- ble for extensive sheep raising as well as dairying and other live stock activ- ities. Big Crowds Expected. Because of all that has been accom- plished since irrigating this section,, Newell, its largest city, is the center of a really romantic part of the West. This little city has the Government reclamation office which administers the work of the Beile Fourche project and is the commercial and financial center for a prosperous farming ter- ritory. Nisland, where the county fair which the presidential party will wvisit is being held, is near the center of this great irrigation project. The settlement about this attractive little city is older than some of the other poirits of the project, and Nisland, therefore, has become an important shipping point for grain, live stock and alfalfa. Near this town is lo- cated one of the largest pickle works in the West. At neither Newell nor Nisland is the President expected to make a speech, although the indications in advance of his arrival are that great crowds will be on hand at each city to greet him. The President and his party will make the journey by train from Hermosa, which is 12 miles from the game lodge. Nearly 200 miles will be cov- ered by the round trip from the lodge, and this visit is expected to be ‘the President’s last side trip before start- ing back for Washington September 9. SRS Placed on Retired List. Capt. Harold A. Baumeister, U. S. Infantry, has been placed on the re- tired list of the Army on account of disability incident to the service and ‘Warrant Officer Elmer A. Spencer at “Fort Omaha, Neb., has been ordered to his home to await retirement at the convenience of the Government. THE EVENING U. S. AIR MAIL TURNED OVER By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 1.—Com- mercial aviation in America advanced two great strides today, strides which many airmen believed placed it in the forefront of all the nations of the world. For today marked the end of Gov- ernment operation of the air mail and also the inauguration of a country- wide system of air express, the express shipments and the mail to be carried in the same planes by four privately owned airplane companies. Beginning today urgent express packages may be sent from coast to in 32 hours and from Chicago to Dallas in less thun 12. Besides the main trunk air line from New York to San Francisco, there will be a daily plane from Boston through New York to Chicago and so to Dallas, and a return plane over the same route, and a connecting line at Salt Lake ply- ing between that city and Los Ange- les, making connections with planes of the trunk line. First Air Express. The air express will be carried in the same planes which carry the mail under contracts between the Govern- ment and the Colonial Air Transport, the National Air Transport, the Boe- ing Air Transport and the Western Air Express. By virtue of the regular shecdules of these companies the honor of be- ing the first air express plane in the air a2l to the one leaving Cleveland for Chicago and Dallas at 1:30 a.m. central time today.

Francisco bound plane from Hadley Field, N. J., which is the airport for New York. But because the headquarters of the American Railway Express Co. is in New York, the principal ceremony at- tending inauguration was arranged for Hadley Field, where the starting time of the first express plane was 1:15 p.m., Eastern daylight time. This was done in part to permit the presence at the ceremonies, without too great loss of time from his other dutles, of Robert E. M. Cowle, presi- dent of the express company, who dreamed a dream of air express many years ago and who was anxlous to see his dream come true today. Ceremonies at Field. The ceremonies at Hadley Field were of a double nature, marking both inauguration of the air express and the taking over by the Natfonal Air Transport, the air service operated until today by the Government. In connection with today's events officlals of both the transport com- panies and the express company ex- pressed the opinion that the twin hap- penings of the day put America well ahead of other countries in commercial aviation, Europcan countries, it was acknow edged, had far greater systems of passenger lines than this country, though having nothing like the cou try-wide air express service inaum STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. rated here today, but those lines were :’:’erl“d largely by government sub- y. America, on the other hand, is now operating, they pointed out, a great iystem of dual mail and express plane, ind the business is being run like any sther commercial enterprise, standing on its own financial feet. Express Co. officlals expressed the belief that the air express would justify itself commercially from the Vvery beginning and would prove a boon to business wherever time is money. Rates for Service. The rates for the new express serv- ice range from 25 to 75 cents per quarter pound of not more than 50 cubic inches, according to the distance the shipment is sent. There is a minimum charge of $1 ahd extra charges are made for light and bulky packages, technically known as ‘“bal- loon freight.” Packages cannot be more than 200 pounds in weight, valued at more than $5,000, or contain explosives. Live animals will not be accepted. On the Boston-New York line the only intermediate stop is at Hartford, Conn. Cleveland is the only stopping point between New York and Chicago. There are seven stops between Chi- cago and Dallas and ten between Chi- cago and San Francisco and but one, Las Vegas, Nev.. between Salt Lake and Los Angeles. The alr express, as is the mail, will be in sole charge of the pilot of each plane, no employe of the Express Co. riding the planes as they do the ex- press cars on the rallroads. The planes, though they are often expected to carry shipments valued at many thousands of dollars, will be unarmed, but every precaution will be taken at the landing fields to prevent the [ Mil poesible activities of modern free. booters, who might turn their atten. tion from vehicles of the land and sea to those of the rarer element in which the mallexpress planes ply their trade.
