OLD TIMER INTERVIEWED.
Colonel Henry B. Brennan Visits the
haunts OF Former DaYs.


iaunts of Former Days.
a reporter of the ARDMoRElTE
called on Henry j. Brennan, a
former resident of this section and
at one time general manager of the
Ardmore Coal company, and later
on strong candidate under Pres.
dent Cleveland's administration for
United States marshal for this dis
trict. The colonel is at the Whit
tington hotel and as he grasped the
reporters hand his face lit mp with
his old time smile and his how
dye" was as hearty as in days of
yore.
My visit is only a short one,
said he, Il was in Oklahoma on
business and could not forego the
pleasure of a visit to Ardmore. l
am an old timer here and have
spent some very happy days with
the old crowd" You know, said
the colonel with hearty laugh,
that | am member in good
standing in the Knights of Mocte
zeuma, and am always welcome.
Many of my old time friends have
called on me here and have given
me hearty welcome. Others have
crossed the hedge, but their
memory lives ard will live as long
as the old days are recalled
Asked his opinion of this section
he replied; The southwest is
unquestionably the coming section
of our great republic. All the
way down the line from Kan.
sas City to the gulf it is one mag
nifcent field of grain. Railroads
are being taxed to their utmost
capacity to transport to markets
the product of this great section.
Cities and towns have sprung up
in every direction where a few
years ago was seen only vast herds
of cattle and the COW boy. Rail
roads are being built in almost
every direction in order to keep
pace with the wonderful develop
ment. Ardmore is making great
progress. | am astonished at it.
The class OF buildings being erect
ed are substantial and would be a
credit to many of our larger cities
When the Dawes commission has
completed its work and title can be
secured, | predict great future
for Ardmore. Its great drawback
has been the uncertsinty in title
and the lack of capital for devel.
opment purposes"
Asked about the coming cleo
tion in New York city and it's
reform movement under the lead
of Justice Jerome and the commit
tee of fifteen" he replied, Tam

will win. He leads the best discip-
lined political organization in the
world, the reformers are a joke
and just now are fighting amongst
themselves. Justice Jerome tries
to ape Roosevelt and thirsts after
political power, the rest of the
reformers are a sort of off shoots"
from the first great reformer, Park
hurst, who when caught red ham
ded in a house of i'll fame in New
York some few years ago, perpe'
trated a joke on the American pub

that be was hunting up evidence
in the interest of the very best
interests of reform.

TORE RAILROAD TALK.
IL Is Said That the Santa Fe Has
Something in Sight.

The Gainesville Hesperian says:
The announcement that the Santa
Fe contemplates the building OF a
line OF road from the lumber region
of East Texas through the rich agri'
cultural section of Central and
Northern Texas to connect with the
main line at some point in the Indian
Territory, probably Ardmore or
Dougherty, may possess the merit of
being altogether new. II so, it also
possesses the additional merit Of be-
ing very probable. In fact, there is
no doubt in the minds OF those who
are informed on the affairs and in
terests OF the company that this is
inst what will be done. The probable
objective points which the new line
will embrace are Anderson, Madison
Vile, Center, Fairfield, Athens or
Corsicana, Canton or Kaufman,
Greenville, Bonham, Denison, hence
connecting with the main line in the
Indian Territory, either at Ardmore
or Dougherty.
The proposed route would give the
Santa Fe a direct and low grade line
from the lumber regions of East
Texas through the rich agricultural
lands OF Central and Northern Tex
as. The line would also place Hous-
ton and Beaumont nearer to the In
dian Territory and Kansas.
The people of Kansas want the
lumber Of East Texas, and the Santa
Fe wants to haul il for them.
Roads are now building out Of
Dougherty l. T., and out of Deni-
san, Texas, both pointing south. In
a comparatively short time II is hiore
than PROBABLE that the Santa Fe will
be building on this end of the line.

HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.


If one expects TO grow grapes Of
that large luscious kind that Is only
occasionally seen, il Is quite import
ant that start IL made right, then
kept right all the way through. 1t is
safe to say that.not one grape vine in
ten thousand does have the right care
from beginning to end. Don't think
for a moment that | have in mind a
great lot of fussing for such is not the
case, in fact ii is but little work to
tend vine properly if the work is
done right and right all the time. To
start with, just one cane must be
trained up as straight as rod three
feet high. If two year old plants are
set in rich ground this can be done
the first year, if not they should be
cut back to one bud the second year.
Drive straight stake into the ground
solid, close up to the plant, which
should stand three feet high. The
vine will be grown straight by tying
to stake at intervals. The second or
third spring lowing to the growth
made) set good posts IL feet apart,
half way between every other plant,
supposing of course plants are set
by TT. Stretch two mo. 10 wires
tight in the posts, one three and the
other four and one-half feet from the
ground, and a branch trained each
way on each wire.
1t should be remembered that fruit
grows on the current years wood,
which in turn starts from the preced-
ing years growth. For this reason
we have complete control over the
fruiting of the grape.
Each bud on the last years growth
will make three punches of fruit with
most varieties. Early in the spring
they should have their annual pruning
and the canes tied to the wires with
binder Irvine. No fixed rule can be
layed down as to the numbers of buds
to leave on each vine, because varie-
ties differ so much in habit of growth
and there is a sort of Undue quality
among plants of the same variety,
but the tendency is to leave too many
buds. 1t is best to have a tendency
to prune too close than not close
enough. The grape is a fruit that
will bear in way almost anywhere
and under any conditions, but to grow
grapes that are way up in G" they
must be given the proper care at the
proper time.
