DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND
WAsHlTA RAPIDS WILL BE UTIL.
lzEo TO CREATE POWER.
Two Companies Backed by immense
Wealth Now Working or the Deal
Why the Sulphur Electric Line
Was Never Built.

Financiors are now at worl, upon a
proposition OF rroat importance to the
southern portion of the Chickaslw
nation.
Engineers have reported that there
is a fan of sixty feet ON the Washita
river. near DoughUN IN, rapids arc
made mp OF a succession OF falls. rang.
ing from six to twelve inches. which
iu the aggregate amount 60 "a fan of
sixty feet
The proposition is to utilize this fan
to create n water power plant for the
production of electricity II Is csti-
mated that there is power sufficient
for electric light plants for an the sur.
rounding towns within, radius Of If
ty miles and to connect them with ell
trio car lines
Men who undertake such deals ara
not given to newspaper tall, and IL
reticenoc H. rNis instance Is evidence
of good faith, the compony most assuI-
odly intends to 10 something.
Donald Fitzgerald q well known ii.
nancior of Wall Street, New York, is
here working ON the proposition.
A number of people who own land
adjacent to the rapids have agreed
with the referees, Wilmington, Doak
and Nixon, appointed by Judge Town
send. to dispose OF their lands TO the
company to be used for a power plant.
The value Of such site as the
Washta rapids afford IS easily worth
from $25 600 to $4,000
Whether the Santa Pc railway com
pany is back of tn edcal is ques-
tion. II is known that the Frisco was
at one time encouraging the building
of the electric line from Oklahoma
City to Davis. This line would have
parallcled the Santa Fe the entire
route AS measure OF retaliation
the Santa Fe began to construct line
from Sherman to Ardmore. which
would have interefered greatly with
the FrisCo's business between these
two towns. The Friscos connection
between the two towns runs by way
of Madill and Is "a much longer route
than the one proposed By the Santa
Fe. The matter was evidently com
promised between the companies. as
The electric line never materializod
neither did the Santa Fo build from
ArdmorC to Sherman
There are now two companies at
work to secure land for q power plant
ON thoWashta one is a Tishomlngo
company, the other was organized IN
Gainesville. Roth companies are ac-
lively at work One man from each
company is in Ardmore and it's game
Of diamond cut diamond for an advan-
tage in the situation. In the event
of the success of either company the
result is the same with reference to
ArdmoIe and other towns that will be
benefited equally as much.

A Doc and a Gun.

One Ardmore man was the owner
of little yellow dog, and another
Ardmore man is the owner Of a Win
chester gun, and there is where the
trouble began. The little yellow dog
visited the home o. the owner of the
gun and caught one Of his pet rabbits
and killed it. The owner of the gun
shot the dog and now the trouble has
reached the court. The owner of the
dog sued the owner of the gun for
500. A bright young lawyer is EN-
ployed on each side of the suit. The
trial Is set for tomorrow.

TO DIG DEEP WELL.

Town Of Madill Seeks . Supply Of
Artesian Water.
4 car of machinery and a drill were
shipped out of this city today for
Madill one ear was shipped for that
place a day or so ago. This machinery
is the property of Dayiscn 4 Herring.
ton Of this city j was brought in
here some days ago from Wheeler,
where they have been sinking a gas
well. The drill is being taken to .da-
dill to drill an artcsian well pr mat
city Messrs. Dawson & Harrington
have a contract with the city of Ma.
dill to drill a well 1900 feet deep.
This is done in an attempt TO secure
water for the city. The well is to be
the property of the city of Madill.
The well is to. be sunk almost in the
heart of the city. Lately gas has been
struck in Madill and il is the belief
that artesian water sufficient TO sup.
ply the town for years to come can
be reached at depth of 1000 feet,
to which depth the company has con
tracted TO sink the well. A force OF
men from this place will go with the
drill.

HIS LUCK
Story of a Seattle Man in
 Fairbanks

Here is au excellent little Alaskan story calculated to set the young blooC of Seattle and all the outside" ou fire
 with a desire to go and do likewise The only flaw in it is that it lacks truth, The only statement in it that irets un- der the limitations of fact Is that the young man referred to went to Fair banks. He is not a telegraph operator aud. according to those who claim to know, he has made no strike of any kind. The story is printed in the Seattle Times and reads:
 ssWirh the proycrbial luck of tbe ten- dsrfoot, George ". Chapman, q tele- graph operator of this city, has struck it rich in the Fairbanks region. AL though only leaving here in March, his wealth amounts to s25,OOO, having in creased his original capital exactly one hundred times.
 "Young Chapman, the son of Super inteuIent Chapman Q. the Seattle Everett Iuterurbau Railway, returned to Seattle from San Francisco in Feb ruary. Early in March he joined the outfit whi;h left here for Fairbanks to establish the Fairbanks News, daily publication, the telegraph key being his part in the cast.
 lover the actual expense money that was given him, his father pressed S25O on the young man, iutimsting that it could be used in the emergency of his being obliged to come home. His salary on the paper was also S25O per month.
 Upon arriving at his destination the young operator promptly burned all bridges behind him by investing his s250 iu a gold miuing claim, taking one sixth interest. The golden stream com meuced to flow iu at once, and in his lest letter home he told ofhav.ug refus- ed Sl6,OOO for lis interest in the claim.
 Tn evidence of his success he has sent his father S5,OOO The gravel is running Sl.65 to :he pan on his claim and Chapman is letting others do his share of the work while he sits at the key on The News. The business acumen of the youth was Illustrated when he sold his cabin after the recent fire to a merchant for $500. He estimates his wealth at S25, ,OO0.
