THE SITUATION.
A Letter From The Phoenix Insurance Co.
7. j. corneIIus-A Plain State
ment Of what Must Be Done.

It. J. Cornelius has received a let
ter from the Phoenix Insurance Com
pany which requires no comment to
be understood. AS it pertains to n
matter that should be close to every
business man in Ardmore il is re-
produced in full and is as follows:
CHICAGO, Dec. II, 1895.
7. J. Cornelius, Esq, Ardmore, /. T.:
Dear Sir-We are in receipt of your
favor of the 9Th inst. regarding fire
map, which has since reached us in
good shape.
We beg to thank you kindly for the
attention you have given the matter.
We have also received copy of the
DAILY ARDMoREITE containing edi-
torial on the fire protection OF Ard
more. II is a very well written arti-
Gle, and we have read il with much
interest, and hope that it will have
the effect on the citizens of stirring
them up to some action in regard to
better protection.
OF course we are not in a position
to speak for all companies doing bus
mess at Ardmore, but so far as we
are individually concerned-and we
know that n great many of the COM
panies feel the same way-unless the
protection is greatly improved within
a very short time, rates must be very
much increased at Ardmore, and also
our lines greatly reduced, or the
Ph9nix will be obliged to retire from
the town.
We do not want to repeat our ex-
perience of n few months ago, and il
would seem too bad to build up the
city in such good shape and leave it
unprotected, as is now the case.
We believe Ardmore is a good town
in which to do business, and have al
ways felt so, but feel that it would be
unwise to hazard so much of our
capital unless some adequate fire
protection is furnished at once.
We have no doubt you have per
s1nally considerable influence with
the business men OF Ardmore, and
we would suggest that you use your
efforts to make them see the neces-
s.ty of prompt action in this respect.
What is needed is prompt and con
certed action on the part Of the bet
ter class of business men OF Ardmore
ald we believe the result desired
would be accomplished.
We are willing to wait a reasonable
time for this improvement, but, al
stated above, unless il is made, we
certainly will not continue our lines
"a heretofore.
We would be glad to hear from
ou on the subject, and any assist
aace which we can render you vii
b, cheerfully given, and awaiting
Your advices, we remain,
Yours Truly,
EUGENE HARBEcK,
General Agent.

A.nest OF whiskey peddlers who
have been selling bug juice with inn
punity near Marietta, /. T., have
been discovered by the authorities
aud some Of the offenders arrested.
Il Is said they have been buying
eight and ten gallons OF booze at
one time in Gainesville and take IL
to the Territory where they would
make fully zoo per cent. on their
purchases. The chances now are
that their avocation for the time be-
ing has being knocked into 'pi."

THOSE RESOLUTIONS.
The Merchants ESehanrc of 81. Lout.
Takes Favorable Action on Them
CHICAGO Also Hesrd From

Mai. Zuckerman today received two
letters, which speak for themselves.
The first is from the secretary OF the
Merchants Exchange OF st. Louis,
and is as follows:
ST. Louis, Dec. IS, 1895.
Mr.. ). Zuckerman, President Board
OF Trade, Ardmore, I. T.:
Dear Sir-Your favor OF December
:, with resolutions adopted by your
board petitioning congress to enact n
law in the interests of land tenure in
the Indian Territory, has been pre-
sented to the board Of directors of
the Merchants Exchange Of ST.
Louis and received its endorsement.
I viii convey the action OF our board
10 the members of congress from St.
Louis. Yours truly,
GEO. II. MORGAN, Secretary.
That from the Chicago Board OF
Trade, while not so encouraging,
shows that the resolutions at least
commanded attention. With a proper
presentation of our exact situation,
which will be furnished, no doubt the
resolutions will be recOnsidered, and
different results obtained. The let
ter says:
CHICAGO, Dec. II. 1895
Mr.. Samuel Zuckerman, President
Board Of Trade, Ardmore, I. T.:
Dear Sir-I have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt OF your es-
teemed favor Of the 7th inst, ad-
dressed to the president OF this
I board.
Your communication was duly pre-
sented to the board Of directors at its
last session and referred to an appro-
/ pirate committee for consideration.
am instructed by the committee
to thank you for n copy OF the action
taken by your board upon the subject
OF an equitable townsite law which
will transfer to the present occupants
a title in fee simple 70 their respec-
tive lots, and thus add TO the stabili-
" of all kinds Of business.
Il While this board sincerely sympa-
thizes with you in the proposition
submitted, IL does not deem II within
its proper Jurisdiction TO take action
upon the matter.
You can readily understand that 80
prominent an organization as is the
Chicago Board Of Trade has a large
number OF communications with ref
erence to local improvements and
municipal and state measures, and
while the judgment OF the board APP
proves such measures and such en-
tcrprise and activity in the interests
Of business generally, it finds that Il
cannot consistently take action upon
such matters, and moreover the af-
fairs OF the board are OF so active
and pressing = character that its
governing committees are fully occu-
pied with reference TO matters which
distinctly and clearly come within
the Jurisdiction Of the board.
The board takes notice Of an action
upon a subject which Is clearly and
definitely national in its character,
and extends its best wishes TO all sec
tions of the country laboring 70 pro-
mote their own and the common well
fare. Very truly yours,
, GEORGE F. STONE, Secretary.
