ARDMORE ELECTRIC co.

The plant of the Ardmore
Electric Company was erected
here in July. 1898. and is owned
principally by Chicago capital
lists, under the management of
MI. F. L. Griffin. The plant
has a paid up capital of $25, 900,
has capacity of two 60-horse
power boilers and two 70-horse
power engines. 1t has two di-
rect current dynamos with a ca
pacity of 1900 lights, and one
alternating dynamo with a ca
pacity of 2000 lights. The plant
furnishes employment to FIVE
men at good salaries.

OUR RAILRoAD PROSPECTS,

THE fact that Ardmore has
but one railroad, the Gulf. Colo
rado and Santa Fe, and of course
no discriminating rates on mer-
chandise, is sorely felt by our
leading business men. The busi-
ness done at this point is one of
immense magnitude, and the
force employed by the company
to handle the same is wholly in
adequate with the work. 1t is a
fact that the depot facilities are
also too small for the proper
care of freight. Our people
have received promises of better
accommodations for the future,
and they certainly will be ap-
preciated by a long-suffering
public.
During the past twelve months
other railroads have been run
ming surveys across the Indian
Territory to our city, and today
propositions are before our peo-
pie for acceptance.
The road which indications
show will be the next to enter
Ardmore, is the Chicago, Okla
homa and Gulf. This ruad is in
dicated to leave the main line
about Hartshorne or South Nc
AlesIer and enter Ardmore on
the extreme northeast portion of
the city. Committees are now
at work in an effort to secure the
right Of way through the city
and for the establishment of de-
pot grounds.
The Choctaw and Arkansas
railroad has also run several sur
veys through the country, all of
which merge into our city and
the prospect for this line is also
good.

delicacies of the season at all
times. There is cold storage
room for seventy-fite head of
cattle and a daily capacity of
twenty five head of hogs. This
space is, however, wholly in
adequate and the proprietors in
tend enlarging their storage
room at once, in fact work is al
ready begun. A Chill room, 8 by
40 feet, is to be added. and an
other vault 20 by 20 feet. This
will increase the capacity very
much. A 20-horse power engine
is used in the plant. A power
full motor is also being added to
the establishment which will
furnish light f1r the entire plant.
Altogether. the enterprising
managers are leaving nothing
undone which will keep their
plant and business abreast of
the times.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1900-12-19

has a capacity of eighteen tons
daily, furnishes employment to
a dozen or more men and runs
seven months of the year. Aside
from furnishing Ardmore with
this frozen luxury, it supplies
the entire trade of the Territory
from Red river to Purcell, and
all the inland towns both east
and west. Wood, which has
heretofore been the main fuel, is
now superseded by King Coal.
A spur from the main line Of the
Santa Fe places cars at their
storage doors for export of the
product.
The plant is under the super
vision of H E. Foster, who has
proved a successful manager
since its establishment in 1896.

The Cotton Belt extension
from Sherman, Texas, is another
road reaching out for Ardmore
with a business proposition.
{ All these roads will traverse
the finest agricultural and min
eral belt of the Territory, and
should they be built will open up
a region whose untold wealth
will surprise the nation. The
long pull and the strong pull
must be made by the people of
Ardmore>to secure the first one
to enter Ardmore, and we think
the others will come easier.
Ardmore welcomes all these
roads as they will prove benefi-
cial factors in her future growth
and prosperity.

THEARDMORE POsTOEFICE.

ANOTHER factcr which shows
the greatness of Ardmore and
the business push of her people
and those of the immediate sur
rounding country. is the post
Office. Like the city this de-
partment has made some phe-
nominal strides. and now the re-
ceipts of the Office are larger
than those of any other Office in
the Indian Territory, Muskogee
and South McAlester coming as
second and third.
The Ardmore post Office busi-
ness is only excelled in great
ness by the Offices at Oklahoma
City and Guthrie in the twin
territories.

Scott, has an able corps of assist

IN SOCIETY'S REALM.

EVERY city of any pretentions
has it's various clubs and socie-
ties. Ardmore has its compli-
ment. The Algonquin clnb, COM
posed of the leading young gen.
tlemen of the city, is perhaps
the best known, it's name having
gone abroad in connection with
the many pleasing events given
by the club. The Algonquins
have an elegant suite of club
rooms in the brick building at
the corner of Main and Wash
ington streets. Other clubs and
societies exist, many of which
we know only by name. There
is the Ladies of the Leaf, the
G. U. A. c., the w. G. T. o.,
Whist clubs and others which
serve to make Ardmore good
town to live in.

cover Ardmore and have lines
from Red river on the south to
Purcell on the north. where con-
nection is made with other lines
operating over Texas and Okla
homa. The line also extends
west by way of Lone Grove and
Healdton to points on the Rock
Island road.
They are also connected with all
lines rnnning east from this
point.
In Ardmore they own the local
exchange, also one at Duncan,
and a small one at Marietta.
Mr.. Griffin is also manager OF
this concern, which furnishes
employment to ten people.
This company was organized
in 1898 and has a paid up capital
of $50, 900, owned principally by
lChicago capitalists.

POSTMASTER MORAN SCOTT.
ants in his work, and during the
now nearly five years Of his
servitude, not one symptom of
friction has arisen between the
postmaster. his employees and
the general public. In fact Pres
ident Mckinley seems wholly
satisfied with Ardmore's dem
ocratic postmaster, by his reten-
tion in Office.
A few figures will convey to
the skeptic>the business of the
Office now@transacted. During
the year ending March 81, 1897,
the receipts of the post Office
amounted to S7011.5O, while the
receipts for the past twelve
months were SO, 458.61, showing
an increase of S3+47,71 within
the past three years, or nearly
10 per cent. These figures also
show that the Office has earned
S447. II more than the required
amount to establish free deliv-
cry, an application for which
was made last May.
Last October was the banner
month in the history of the
office, the receipts being $l21O.6O,
or at the rate of S14, 5000 pei
annum.
Since the above was written,
information has reached the city
stating that David Redfeld, a
veteran republican, has been
| named by President Mckinley
as successor to Mr.. Scott, in the
capacity of Ardmore's post
master.

ARDMoRE's NEWSPAPERS.


IT HAS been said, and we may
add, truthfully too, that Ard
more is a veritable newspaper
graveyard, if one may judge
from the number of journalistic
ventures which have passed.into
obscurity in the brief period of
our city's history. After pom
dering a few moments we can re-
call the following list of "has
beens": The Courier, State
Herald, Chieftain, Advertiser,
World, Alliance Courier, Wind
bag. Item, News, Chronicle.
Beacon, Midday Sun, Sentinel,
Brother in Red, Presbyterian
Reservoir, Dinner Bell, Ardmore
Bulletin and the National Ban

there may be more. We will let
the dead bury the dead, and ap-
pend the names of those that
now exist There are but five,
and are the Baptist Signal, week
Ily; the Social Democrat, weekly,
and of recent origin; the Citizen,
a morning daily, and the ARD
MoREITE, an evening daily, and
the WEEKLY ARDMoREITE. We
will judge the others by our own
and say they are all in an active,
healthy condition and the ARD
MOREITE kindly wishes them a
continuance of their prosperity.
A word about the ARDMOREITE
may not be amiss. The daily
paper is now in it's eighth year
and has experienced all kinds OF
rough sailing in its younger
days, but has safely weathered
the storms uutil it has now
reached it's present stage where
it is classed as the leading daily
paper, of the Indian Territory.
The WEEKLY ARDMOREITE is in
its seventh year and we proudly
boast that it is the best known
weekly paper in the Territory
and carries the largest list .o1
bona fide subscribers. The
growth of the paper is due to the
untiring energy of its proprie
tor, Sidney Suggs, who ha:
pushed it to what it is, He know!

illustrate the point I'll tell you u little

operators. Business was q little slow,
aud it was evident that the specula-

his sleep was spoiled for that morning,
so he arose, and soon after appeared
