A BUSY COUNCIL.

Body In the City.

At the present time and Tor the
past month the city council has been
the busiesls body, in the city. rhey
htrve met more than half dozen
times In the past two weeks. I
II held a session Monday last, one
Wednesday afternoon, Tuesday NOR.
ing and then again this morn.ns
Many weighty questions have come
up for disposition and the coIrcilmon
and Mayor Dick are deeply interested
In the affairs of the city. The have
and are still devoting a great part Of
their time TO the city's affairs and
are protecting our interests in every
way possible. Some propositions OF
inestimable Importance TO the future
welfare of Ardmore has come under
the supervision OF the council in the
past month, and In every instance
they have been met and disposed OF in
a manner benehting the city.
Among the most important ques.
tlonsJ a,h Propositions they have con.
sid@Sd siothe laying Of the water.
works and sewer mains, which alone
is of great moment to the town: the
erection OF two new public school
buildings, which will afford Ardmore
the best established public schools in
the territory and give sufficient room
for the accommodation Of thousand
more pupils than the schools could
accommodate last term; the proposi.
tIon OF taxing the railroads. which
will mean Il revenue derived from n
source from which the city has never
heretofore received a penny; the paw
ing OF the business streets whcih porp-
osition they disposed Of at a meeting
this morning. and which is probably
OF more importance to the town than
any other step the council has eve.

tne uilding an annex to the city hall,
which. affords > police station and
room for keeping machinery and 9th.
er property of the city, and the giant.
ing OF franchise for street railway,
work on which is TO begin at once
/ These are some OF the most imppr'
ant propositions the council has dis
posed OF. Besides these there are MI
merous others, of lesser Importance
but all of which are for the gool q
the town.
The action of the council In these
D.. ars. coming as they do at a time
when the city Is prosperous and i'm
provement in progress all over the
territory and settlers fast coming in
will mean but one thing. that Ard
more will get her share OF the good
things. The activity Of the council
and the progressiveness OF the citi
zens will make this the best town i.
the new state.

wild elephant is necessarily a difficult
task for the men who accomplish It,
but the tame ones are so vigilant and
sagacious in their assistance that IA
talities seldom occur.
The Process of Training.
The process of training a wild ele-
plant is simple, nevertheless the re-
suits are quite astonishing. For the
first few days it is left alone with a
tame one tied near to give it conf

dence. At first the captive will refuse
rOOd, but the decOy soon soothes It and
persEadeS il to eat. The first step to-
ward teaching the stranger respect
and obedience IS to place him between
two tame animals, while several men
confront him with sharpened irons. As
he lungeS forward his trunk comes IN
contact with the points of the weapons
and becomes so sore that he soon
learns to hold it up or curl it in close
out of harms way. After this first
lesson an elephant seldom attempts to
use its trunk Extensively.
1t is taken to water securely tied TO
two tame animals, and at every at
tempt to break away It is merciIessly
prodded in tender places with sharp
irons. Il is pTiCked to make il lie
down. and the same process is repeat
ed to force il TO get up. 1t soon learns
to avoid pain by responding to the
threat rather than the act Of torture.
1t is found that elephants which are
the most obstinate and violent at first
are the quickest to be effectuaIly sub
dued while those that are sulIen and
mOrOse can rarely be trusted in after
life.
Often Die of Broken Heart.
The presence of tame elephants IS
soon dispensed with and the captive
ridden alone by the driver. Although
he may appear dOcile it is not desira-
BILE to work him too soon, as there are
FREQUENT instances where a valuable
animal has lain down and died of a
broken heart the first time it was put
In harness. Even if he does not die at
once from the ignominy of being put to
work, a captured elephant is likely to
become so fTetted when forced to labor
that he viii siCken and die in a short
time.
The first employment an elephant is
usually put to is treading clay in
brick yard, OF dragging burdens by
the side Of a tame companion. The
sagacity that elephants show In per-
forming labor is extraordinary. Two

COLOMBO. - Ceylon is the native
heath of the elephant. The huge
beasts which are such source of awe
and wonder to Young America on cir
Gus day, roam wild on both the open
plains and in the deep forests of this
sea-island paradise. From time i'm
memorial the Singhalese have been
taught to capture and train them.
Formerly these massive lords OF the
forests were used only for the process
sions of kings and religious parades,
but they are now trained to work
They are used for drawing heavy
machinery, for clearing new ground,
and are even put in harness to do farm
work. They are specially useful in
building dams across streams and In
lifting heavy tfmbers- The sagacfty
of a well-tTained elephant is truly
wonderful One Of them will place big
stones in position and gently turn them
until their location becomes about as
exact as a stOnemasOn would require.
In contrast to heavy work like this
another one will be trained TO gather
fruit, going over the tree carefully
with its sensitive thunk. selecting only
that fruit which is ripe, and plucking
1t as neatly as a girl could lift a cherry
with her lips.
The Elephant at Home.
However. before entering at too
great length into the success of their
r. domestic life, it will be well to observe
some of their habits and characteristics
while in the jungle, Although its
home is generally in warm and sunny
climate, 1t is not true that the elephant
is partial 70 heat or to light. In CeylOn
it shuns the sultry valleys and fire.

COTTON TRADE BOOM
ENGLAND AT PRESENT.

Liverpool, Eng, Dec, 31.-Never in
the history of this country has the
cotton trade been worked to such
am extent as at present. Following
upon the erection of so big factories
in southeast and central Lancashire.
another score are being projected in
the same areas and contracts for
their erection have been placed The
scarcity of weavers is so great in
scores of sheds that managers are
asking their work people to write
to relatives and friends, who have
gone out to Canada and the United
States to return to England and the
Lancashire, as there Is constant and
remuneratiye employment awaiting
them. Weayers and oyerlookers
wages are being advanced and if the
boom continues the employers will be
asked to share more OF their profits
with the work people. There ap-
pears to be a scarcity OF weayers in
Canada and the United States also
for they are being advertised for all
over the country and alluring terms
offered.

SHERIFF HUBBE[[ MAKES FOR
NAL DEMAND FOR OFFICE
ArmijO DiSObeyS Order of Court New
County Officials Take Seats To-
morrow Court House News.

Armed with an order from the su-
preme court of the territory Sheriff
Z. 5, Hubbell this morning made a
formal demand of Perfecto Armijo for
possession of the office, to which the
court DEGREES he was elected and is
the rightful possessor thereof. The
demand was not complied with. Ar
milo refused TO turn over the office
and Immediately appealed to his at
torneys. Whether or not the refusal
Of Armijo to comply with the order
of the court was contempt is a point
OF law evaded by the attorneys. In
one sense of the word Hubbell went to
jail Tor refusing to comply with
similar order made on him by Ar
milo shortly after he was first remov-
ed by Governor Otero, and here is
another point of law. Does the COM
mission of the governor carry more
authority than an order from the SUI
preme court composed of six federal
judges? Hubbell was reticient this
afternoon as to his next move. 1t is
believed that the demand was made
more to further establish the case
of Hubbeli in the eyes of the court
than the desire for possession for the
one remaining day of the term would
prompt. II Is more than likely that
Armijo will be sued for the fees he
has collected since taking the office
