March 27.--Don T. Albee, owner of the P-N ranch, was in Winifred, having recently returned from Butte. Mr. Albee is negotiating for the purchase of an airplane--a small plane of a standard model-and one will soon be brought to Great Fall, where he will look it over. If Mr. Albee buys the plane he will take a few lessons in flying and does not anticipate much trouble in learning to operate it .

Mr. Albee's huge ranch and his herds of fine cattle represent an investment of several hundred thousand dollars. The principal road to the ranch is an international highway, but for several miles from the ranch it is usually in such condition that it can not be traveled and Mr. Albee, who also has other important business interests, must have some method of conveyance that will take him to and from his ranch.
