AUDMORE COMMERCIAL CLUB
HAS MUCH WORK AHEAD FOR
THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
Will Complete Arrangements for Ware
house-consider Several Requests
for Building Bridges and viii
Entertain Visitors.

The Ardmore Commercial club with.
In the next few days will have sever.
al important matters to come up be-
fore that body. The most important
perhaps OF the many matters Is the
making arrangements to build the
cotton warehouse of the farmers in
this city as per the agreements made
late last fall and early this spring
when the Commercial Club promised
the Farmers Union that warehouse
would be constructed D fore the cot
ton crop is harvested ~ he fall OF
1907. Another matter of importance
to be considered is the request made
by the citizens of Cornish relative 10
the assistance asked for by the peo-
pie of that community to repair the
road and bridges on the line between
that town and Ardmore.
J. T. Williams. a prominent business
man of that community wgOte the
following letter to the secretary OF The
Commercial Club of this city which
is self explanatory. The letter is as
nOllows:
The people of Cornish have re-
quested that | write you and ask what
sort of donation you can give toward
the building Of two small bridges on
road that we are endeaVOring to
open up between this point and Ard
more. In the event that the road is
opened, 1t will make a much better
road, and put us several miles nearer
as It will be on section line.
They have instructed me 10 say to
you that in the event that you will
| furnish the lumber that they will do
all OF the hauling and build the
bridges OF course. It means some
| thing to Cornish to get this road in
good shape but ! don't think that 1t
means as much to them as It does to
Ardmorc. a- the road from here to
Waurika has just been completed anu
is much nearer than Ardmore."
In all probability a meeting of the
I Commercial club will be held this
week. Hardly a week passes but that
the club is called upon from some
section of the country TO assist in
road building, but It is impossible for
the club to meet with all of these de
mands, but the club will give assist.
ance to all of the most important unes
such as the Cornish demand. and TIE
committee will in all probability make
the donation required.
Notice has also been received from
the secretary Of the Oklahoma City
Commercial Club stating that the
seventh annual irade excursion party
of that organization would visit Ard.
more Thursday, April 25 and spend
two hours in this city. The Oklahoma
City party will come in special train
and will be made up Of about 100 Of
the leading business men and baH ;cr.
of the Magic City. The cxcursionists
will have a band with them Ardmsre
and Oklahoma City have always been
on the most friendly terms I'm the
commercial world and that city has
established close trade relationship
with Ardmore. The Ardmore Club
will in all probability give the okla
homa City visitors a hearty welcome
as It did on a similar occasion two
years ago when the party visited Ard
more. committee will be appointed
to greet the visitors.
