ELSEWHERE in this issue will be
found the results of an interview
with the locating engineer of the
Arkansas and Choctaw railroad,
whose temporary headquarters are
at Oakland. In what he says
there is ample food for study and
reflection on the part of Ardmore's
citizens. Do they want the road,
and if so what are they willing to
do towards securing the road. 1t
seems that in the present situation
Ardmore can ill afford to sit idle
when there is a chance of rail-
road building through this section.
This matter should be carefully
considered and fully investigated
so that intelligent action may be
taken. The Commercial club is
the most representative body in
Ardmore and this work would
seem to devolve naturally on it.
That the road is to be built is
hardly matter Of conjecture, as
it has taken out charter and has
already built several miles into the
Choctaw nation. The matter is
we'll worth the consideration of the
club and should enlist the interest
and cooperation of all our people
if investigation proves that con-
certed action will avail aught.

Laughin gNlght.

Managers Aaronson & Morgan
announce that tonight, Wednesday
Nov. %, will be the big laughing
night of the theatrical season of
1899 1900. when that merry jing-
ling comedy, Two Merry Tramps"
will be presented.
This play has possibly made
more people forget their troubles
for an evening and created more
genuine laughter than any of the
farce comedies which have been
seen of late years.
The author claims a plot for the
play, but when asked to define it
explains it to be plot upon the
part of the comedians to convulse
the audience with laughter, and
while hilarity sometimes proves
fatal it seldom occurs, so the act
tors are safe in continuing the con
spiracy. An unusually large aud
capable company of comedians,
singers, dancers and musicians
have been engaged for this seasons
production.
New songs, musical etc.. will be
introduced in quick succession dur
ing each act, aud as the company
carries a fine band and orchestra,
also a splendid male quartette, the
musical features will be much in
evidence, something enjoyed by
all.

In Small Bunches.

It is stated hat the shipm ent of
cattle from theA western portion of the
state will not beApearly as large this
year as formerly.A One reason given
is that small farm prs and ranchmen
have interfered sAriously with the
ranges and have dfven a number of
cattlemen out of tBs business. An
other and more plaus sible explanation
is that the high pricek at which cat
tie sold last year causs Id the owners
to rush the animals the eastern
markets, and the usual Nnumber were
not left on the ranges. The raising
of stock is reed dying more
attention in North Dak kota at the
present time than at aI y time pre-

What He Gets.

AT this time of fhe year, when
boards of equalization are meeting,
and talks of assessments are quoted
in the newspapers, the owner of
property realizes that the time is
within measurablb = distance when
he will be required to pay his taxes.
What does he gea for his money ?
Ordinarily when "a man pays out
money he considets what he gets in
exchange, and hgfeels happy in ac-
cordance with Yhether he gets
good bargain or hot. A man with a
thousand dollars worth of property is
likely to pay froin $40 to SIS year
taxes, For thia1 if he lives in the
city, he gets thS services of the pol
ice in securing quiet and observance
OF the law; he Sets protection from
fire; he has the beneft OF health Off
Gals inspection; he gets education
for his childreh officials to look after
the streets an4 sidewalks; new laws
enacted by TIP legislature; officials to
see to it that 20 irresponsible insur-
ance companies prey upon the pub
lie; the benefit of the courts at a
nominal fgup to the litigant. If he
lives in the cqlntry he gets bridges
roads, and mi sny of the above enum-
Grated advantages also. Sometimes
the taxpayer hnds it hard to spare
the money h4pays for taxes, but he
would find It'll good deal harder te
get along without what his money
pays for.-Mandan Pioneer.

More Hogs. Less He'll.

An exchange tells the following on
an old farmer in s9dth Dakota who
used to come to flown, occasionally
with load of c9fn to sell. Once in
while he wo1d go home with a
load of corn j flee inside, after having
had great fine with the boys, He
finally CON fluded that prohibition
would be a /good thing, and began te
argue tha7way to his acquaintances.
One day fellow asked him: 'What
would ydu do with your corn if we
had prd dhibition?" The farmer re-
piled: Praise more hogs and less
nell"

"You can't fill thesbucket by one

No "Man Wanted" Here.

Some three years ago F. Kruze, a
German farmer near Jamestown.
died, leaving his wife and daughter.
Freda, now IA years old, and two
younger children. The family had
no Inheritance but poverty. It is
true they lived on small farm, but
it afforded at best the most meager
living. MRS. Kruze does not speak a
word Of English, knows nothing of
business, and did not know which
way to turn ;sbut Freda came to the
front and took entire charge of the
farm, assuming a mans full share of
the work.
She does about all the farm work
herself, hiring men in harvest when
needed and discharging them if in
competent. From the time that
Freda took charge of the farm she
has made it pay. She does the plow-
ing herself with a four-horse team,
Harvesting, feeding and driving the
horses and managing the plow as
we'll as man. At haying time she
mows the grass and puts it in stack
and barn, When the grain is thresh-
ed she hauls it to town in farm wa
gon, taxing two loads a day, and
sells it. 1t is said she handles the
heavy grain sacks as easily as man.
Every fewsweeks she brings a fat
beef to toWn and disposes of it. It
takes pretty smart merchant to get
ahead of her in driving bargain.
She is wellSinformed as to crop pros
poets and tie condition of the market
and can talk quite as intelligently
about themSas the average farmer.
1t is truly remarkably what this child
has accomplished in the last few
years. TheSfamily now have a good
home, are comfortably dressed, have
plenty to eay and the younger chill
dren go to school regularly, as Freda
says they must have a good educa-
tion.
This remarkable girl is not large or
strong looki ng, as one would suppose
but slight add wiry, with blue eyes
and tangl4 of golden hair. She
does not know what sickness is, how
eversand day after day her energy
takesher through her work utterly

ionally i'll North Dakota.

and the farmers are loath to part
