Golden state. The experiment proved
to be q success from the start, and OIL
as fuel soon was an order OF things
in the must important traffic in the
state.
The road within the last few days
has contracted for the construction OF
three monster steel tanks for holding
oil. One will be located at The
Needles, another at Barstow and the
other at Port Richmond, the Frisco
terminus of the new extension. Each
of the tanks will have capacity of
25O, 900 gallons.
The burning of oil as fuel on loco
motives fs much cheaper than that OF
coal. Especially is this go with the
Santa Fe in California. where the road
has it's own oil fields. There would
not be the slightest hesitancy on the
part of the Santa Fe officials to adopt
oil for general use on the entire system
IL convenient oil fields could be had.
The Mystery.
The all-absor bling topic in the G. 81.
yards Is the great demand for Franklin
street property, Nearly every man
that the Link and Pin'' man talked
with on the subject had a different
value of Franklin street real estate.
One man says he is satisfied that there
is DING to be union railway station
built there; another says it Is the
Rack leland railway company buying
up the property on which to put their
yards; still another just knows that il
is the Pecos Valley people who are
going to put their station there.
In any event 1t is plain that the
purchasers do not want anything but
the lots and they want them pretty
badly. Mark Miller, the Mesa avenue
real estate man, paid Tony Zilligen, q
butcher in Nations meat market,
81, 200 for four lots and gave him the
fences and buildings thereon If be
would take them off. The lots
cost Zilligen $3.50 but at the
time of his purchase they were 80
10 " as to be often flooded and
he graded them up about five
feet: still he is congratulating himself
on the price he received for them.
These lots a-e located in the undesira-
BILE place at the corner Of Newman
and Franklin streets near the
stock yards. Feisss, the
"Deutsche Apotheke, sold some pre-
perty on Franklin st. at good figure
but when asked about he said, ooh, go
long nit you; hat been asked about
dot t. ousant times day alrettey! go
to the real estate man; he will tell you
about dot" It Ia said that Paul Derr,
a G. 81. engineer, has been offered
$40, 900 for his place at 407 Franklin.

Tide of Travel Shifting.
From the volume of summer excur-
sion business to resorts in Colorado, the
Black Hills and Yellowstone Park, dur
ing June and July, it would seem as
though eastern people were coming TO
appreciate the great attractions of the
west instead Of doing all their travelling
abroad. Railroad reports show that
the most remarkable thing about travel
to western resorts this year is not It's
immensely but the large pro portion OF
1t which originates in eastern states.
Heretofore the low rates have attracted
few easterners.

OIL For Fuel.
Referring to the intention of the
Santa Fe to use oil for fuel on its en-.
gines in California, the Kansas City
Times says:
1t is not known definitely at this time
how many engines will be affected, bua
the road figures on consuming about
720 600 barrels of oil annually. An ex-
penditure of $25, 900 will be made in
the equipping the locomotives.
For about elk years the Santa Fe
has used more or less oil as fuel in
California, all engines operating be-
tween The Needles and Bakersfield
having oil consumers since Jan. e.
The decision of the operating officials
will mean an extension of the methods
TO include the operation of the train
pullers used between The Needles and
Barstow, one end of the recently COM
pleted extension which gave to the
Santa Fe the only one-road route
between Chicago and San Francisco.
The use of coal was first abandoned
on a few engines used in unimportsnt
traffic in the southern part of the

The Dallas. Galveston News of
Yesterday contained an item that
should prove an object lesson to
Ardmore. II was a dispatch from
Rice, Tex, a little town OF 6OOI
people, and stated that on Satur-
day, without a mass meeting or
public movement of any kind,
subscription list was circulated
there and in one afternoon $4S 900
was subscribed toward the erection
of cotton mill in that place and
several prominent citizens of the
place yet to be seen. Ardmore
with her 5000 people should easily
accomplish more than the people
of this little town. A little enterI
prise and public spirit exerted
at this time will enable Ardmo-e
to take permanent place at the
head of Territory towns in the
matter of development and COM
mercial strength. She needs a
mill and all the other industrial
enterprises that would follow in its
wake. She needs the increased
population which it would bring
and the enhanced property values
which would accrue. Business
men of Ardmore should consider
this matter seriously and act in
consonance with the towns best
interests s.-ARDMoREITE.
