time The bosses think his county

not give him anything.

Fertility, and Has a Fifty

No place In the B. 1. IT has so
suddenly sprung into prominence as
Madill, a delightfully."- located new
town on the Fsisco extension through
the Territory, one and one half miles
east of Oakland.
The townsite company has laid the
town off and graded the streets. A.
square is given prominent place..
which is being surrounded by hand
some brick and stone:business houses.
Already half dozen or:more are
erected and occupied by merchants
with large stocks, and thirty more
are being erected.
a large ell mill is almost com>
pleted, and two gins will be ready foe
nextSseason's business.
A good school is now in progress
and in the hands of a competent in
structor.
The depot on the railroad is locat-
ed three blocks from the square on
Main street north OF the sauane.
The cars on the extension will be
running by January frst, and Madill
will be supremely happy.
1t has two banks and all lines of
business that are necessary to make
a successful town prosperous.
The town promoters claim it is the
best heated, best situated and tn
fastest growing town on the line and
say they can convince any man of
this fact who will Investigate.
Surrounding the town is a river
from tage of some fifty miles by both,
the Red and Washita rivers. It-Is
situated in and surrounded by black
laud belt that has..ro equal in the
Indian Territory, and everything can
be raised iu abundance, and parties
seeking farms can not find a better
location.
Water is plentiful and the purest
and best on earth.
1t is predicted by knowing ones
that coal is also to be had in plenty
at depth of eighty or ninatY feet.
Splendid inducements are offered
to business men seeking locations,
and there are opportunities offered
in almost every line OF business.
Madill has no fight TO make
against any of its neighbors, but is
loud in It's praise Of its own resources
and advantages.

Harbor Improvement:


THE intelligent and faithful work
performed by Councilman Grinnell
and his associates OF the committee on
harbors I'm response 10 the demand that
the consideration OF the city govern
ment be given 10 harbor Improvements
IS demonstrated in the business like
and lucid report presented to the Coun
Gil last evening.
The Council now has at its command
the essential facts of the situation as
il exists today and II Is confronted by
the prophecy that sooner or later Prov
idence harbor will be developed sufii-
ciently for the commercial uses that it's
situation warrants and that some day
city government will reap the honors
that come with the Inauguration of
all our more important civic enter
prises
IL would be wise IL every city gov
crnment took at least one big stride in
the direction OF effective harbor inn
provement.
Now that the harbor committee has
done its work, the present council will
merit public appreciation IL. before its
term expires. IL makes business like
record of the matter.
So far the public spirited committee
on harbors has kept i'm the lead as. OF
course. Il was it's function to do.
The matter is now up 10 the council.

TIE POWER or R.eH EXPLOSIVES.

There Is Widespread misapprehen-
sion in regard 10 the devastating effect
OF these high explosives, for when un-
confined the effect even of large
charges of them upon structures is
comparatively slight. AT the Naval
Ordnance Proving ground, SO long ago
ms 1884. repeated charges OF dynamite
varying from five pounds TO one num-
dred pounds i'm weight. were detonated
ON the face .of q vertical target con-
slsting OF eleven one-inch wrought
iron plates bolted 10 a twenty-inch oak
backing. until 40 pounds OF dynamite
had been SO detonaKed in contact with
II. and yet the target remained prac-
ucally uninjured; while at Braamfon-
tcin the accidental explosion or nfty-
five tons or blasting gelatin, whichswas
stored i'm railway vans, eNcaNated Dut
10000 tons of soft earth This last may
seem. a terrible effect, but the amount
OF explosive Involved was enormous
and the material one OF the most ener-
gettc that we possess. while II we COM
pare IL with the action of explosives
when confined its effect becomes quite
moderate. Thus at Fort Lee, on the
hudson. but TWO tons OF dynamite
placed in chamber in the rock and
Vamped brought down 100000 tons OF
the rock; at Lamberis. Wales, Two
tons and a half gelatlne dynamite sim
ilarly placed threw out 10000 tons OF
rock: and at the Talcen Mawr. I'm
Wales, seven tons of gunpowder, placed
in two chambers in the rock, dislodged
from 10000 to 200 GOO tons of rock We
might cite many examples but on COM
pairing these we find that the gunpow-
der confined IN the interior at the Tai
cen Mawr was over forty-two times
as efficient as the explosive gelatin on
the surface az BreS S'nfonein. while the
dynamite at Fort Lee was over ninety
times as destructive.-App Pop
