The airplane which made the first
night from New Vork to L'li'cago

but as improvements are introduced
it is certain that the present nine
hour schedule (as against the 21
nour record offered by the fastest
mail trains) will be further lowered.

The departure and arrival of tne
nail airplanes are regarded now as
somewhat of a novelty, bi.t their ef

lines and eventually connect with
Alaska, the West In lies aud South

dependence is placed or; the initia
tive of cities.
The Chamber of Commerce is al
ready making preparation for plac
ing Omaha on the a'r route and to
eventually make it a center from

service. A large landing place will
be bought by the Chamber of Com

being solicited for funds for building
the hangar for housing the planes.
