flcult to obtain anything to eat. The
predetermined do not even dream of
such luxury as square meal. A
newcomer who can secure an option
on a seat at the fifth table of third
rate boarding house is the envy of his
fellows, and is credited with possess
ing a pull. There are a number Of
restaurants in the town, but guards are
stationed at the doors of each one to
see that only those who can give the
countersign shall pass inside. The
places on which the tenderfoot must
rely for food are those where sand
witches and cups of coffee are handed
from the rear end Of a covered wagon.
But when oil is in the nostrils and for
tunes in the air, the lack of food and
shelter is not felt so seriously as it
might be under other conditions.
The demand for hotel and restaur-
ants is being supplied very rapidly,
especially since the fact is evident that
the oil boom is no temporary affair
that it is merely the beginning of new

Wharton Barker, recent candidate
for the presidency on the ticket Of the
Middle of the Road Populists, has
written an open letter to Frederick
Fraley, president of the National
Board of Trade advocating trade ex
pansion in the Americas rather than in
Asia. He combats the idea Of terrific
rial expansion and thinks that posses
sion of the Philippines will not give
us a great trade in China, because Chi
ma is going to do its own manufactur-
ing more cheaply than any western
nation can do it. He says both China
and the Philippines are too nearly In
the same latitude with the United
States to make their trade profitable
for us-that the commerce Of the flu
ture will be between countries of op-
posite climates and diverse products,
and will move along north and south
lines rather than east and west lines

HEAVY RAIN STORrl.
Six Inches Fell Last Night-Aerom-

One of the heaviest rains that
has fallen in Ardmore for many
moons was precipitated upon us
last night. About : O'Clock the
elements began to unite their bat
cries and pretty soon the whole
artillery was turned loose upon us.
Pretty soon the picket lines ad

storm as best they could.
The rain inst simply fell in
sheets and the hail fell on our roofs
ike thousand bricks. For an
lour or more the rain fell in tor
rents, when a cessation occurred,
'nly to be followed by another
iownpour equally as hard as the
first.
The telephone wires are down in
many places and connection with
many towns are cut off this morn.

The performance OF the grouse Is one
frequently heard, but comparatively
seldom seen. and for many years there
were numerous conflicting theories
concerning the means by which the

that the sound was vocal. and others
declared that the grouse struck the log

for, although the bird has been closely
watched. its wing movements are so
rapid that Ia Is next to impossible TO

the leg or other perch and strikes the

Il has been only a short time age
since the Choctaw, Oklahoma and
Gulf railroad representatives came
to us and made a fair aud square
proposition. They told us that
if we would give them the right Of
way through town they would
come.
The citizens Of Ardmore accept
ed their proposition and went
among our people, who subscribed
nearly $4,000 to purchase it. The
Choctaw people then donated 81
600 which could be used as soon
as we had paid in s2s 900.
II we are informed correctly onlv
about $4,000 has been collected.
The purchasing committee has
spen, al that and are now practi'
cally at standstill for want of
money.
Understand, the $1,000 donated
by the Choctaw people cannot be
used until we have first paid out
SOS 600. The contractors are
anxious for the right of way
through town that they may grade
the same and put it in shape for
laying crossties and iron.
We know that every man who
subscribed to the purchasing of
the right of way did so in good
faith, and we believe if tho e who
have not yet paid their obligations
