A Proposition that the
Railroad Promoters
~4f
or OIl1CKaSIld
Should Inves-
tigate


A new railroad from Denver to Gal
weston Is the proposition which a COM
pany just organized has in view. Re-
presentatives of the company, which
lis headed by st. Louis and Memphis
capitalists, have been in Ardmore for
week or more and have submitted a
proposition to the commercial club Of
that city calling for a ten acre tract
Of land and bonus Of $4,000 when
certain portion Of the line Is com
pleted. II is proposed to locate the
shops and division offices at that city.
The proposed line would extend
from Ardmore to Sherman and north
west from the former city and it is
not difficult to perceive that Chicka-
sha would logically be on the proposed
route.
A proposition has been before the
Commercial club for some time and
certain preliminary Investigations
have been made relative to a line from
Chicka sha to Sherman or Denison.
It appears that the field has appealed
to others as well as the railroad pro-
lmoters Of this city and there certainly
is an excellent opening for such line
through the Chickasaw nation. No
time should be lost by Chickasha rail-
road pushers in getting in touch with
the promoters Of this line that the in
terests Of the city may be cared for,

The amateur who goes to nursery to pick
ont few trees would have his eyes opened
with amazement If he could have seen ct the
meeting of the American Association ofNur-
serymen at Detroit in June machine for
stripping the leaves off from trees and shrubs,
as is necessary at fall digging time and which
heretofore has been done wholly By hand and
in some cases leaf at time. Think Of the
labor Of stripping by hand g0oseberry bush

chine that will strip the leaves from $1,000

der makes 700 to 800 revolutions minute and
the leaves are literally whipped OF the young
trees. This machine is in successful operation
in some of the great nurseries where the tree

can supply enough trees daily to keep the
shippers busy. Nurseymen who handle .
million or more trees annually cannot afford

not quite so happy-those when my father
interviewed me in the shadow Of the door after

M. Reid did not buy the barn, but be paid
a price for the door that might have been
considered fair one for the entire structure.

Farmers near Manson, Iowa, improved
stretch of road but the results are such that
they will not do it again. 1t was nice four
mile drive and was leveled by the King road
drag. 1t has for three years been kept as
smooth as floor. Motorists all over the coun-
try know this road, and the moment they hit
it they try their speed. Forty miles an hour
is about the regular speed. Farmers who
have been caught on this road have been COM
PEELED to pull out to the fence, unload their
families and then take the chance Of their
teams getting away from them when the ma
chine came by faster than passenger train.
The farmers took pride in the stretch of track
but when 1t was monopolized by the autos
they concluded that their labors had been in
vain. This season there will be no road drags
to smooth its surface. and farmers are In hopes
that motor speed will be reduced enough so
they can go and come from town without fear
of their lives. The worst danger ie in the
night. There is hardly farm horse living
that will face one of these machines after dark,
and he can hardly be blamed.

Then change to the sudden fierce honk, the
shuddering cough, the looming terror, the red
eye, the awful Odor of gasoline the ponderous
shape dashing hither and yon, rocking from
side to side, longing to break horse legs and eat
'em up as the small boy eats lobster legs Can
you wonder that terror assails the horses

limbs paws frantically, snorts and tries to
climb the fence?
To their credit be it put down that few If

through this awful moment with the horse,
have shot at the public enemy or even thrown

The Sporty Valley Folks Coming to
the Front.-The glorious success of the inau-
gural meeting assures the future of the newly
organized Green Spring Valley Steeplechase
Association. Encouraged by the great crowd
which gathered at the scene Of the first days
will extend every effort for the success of its
plans. If the initial meeting is any criterion,
the Green Spring Valley Steeplechase Associa-
ton has begun career of popularity.
Not only Is it the idea of the gentlemen who
are promoting the new association to make q
success of tcrf racing and steeplechasing, but
it is planned to have polo. The 20 acres Of
landville, is part of Mr.. Howard L. Riders
property, and is located on the Joppa road be-
tween the places of Mr.. George w. Ewing and
Mr.. Robert II. Wright. It is an ideal place for
racing, for the site affords most delightful
knoll where the association plans to erect
handsome clubhouse. 1t is peculiarly adapta-
BILE, for the course already constructed may be
miles east of the Green Spring Valley Hunt
Club. No race track is projected as all the
races will be over the turf and over most ex-
cellent steeplechase course. The polo idea ie
very popular, and it is believed that expert
riders of the valley would make success OF
polo and soon be able to create widespread
interest by holding matches with the Northern
cities that are represented by polo clubs. If the
clubhouse plans should be carried through to
success ample stabling, Of course, would be
erected.
The officers of the association are President,
George Brown, Jr.; vice-president, Robert h.
Wright secretary and treasurer, Almond B.
mond B. Atkinson. George Brown, Jr., /. NJ.
Parr, Jr., Charles X. Harrison, Jr., Robert H.

Marble Hill, 9th District.-The Marble
Hill Improvement Association desires the CO.
operation of all good citizens of the neighbour
hood in what it is doing for the benefit of all.
Such was its action towards an improved con-
ditiOn of the York turnpike that good results
are already seen. The company is using Stag
and improving the rOadbed.
The 43 members of the association are ask
ing only for the needed things of the commu-
nifty, as far as the county authorities and cor
porations can grant them. What the mem
bers can do they will, and they do it very often
at a sacrifice. They have asked the County
Commissioners for special officer for the
neighborhood, which includes Cockeysville,
and although there has been positive refusal,
yet they are not discouraged and will 20 on the
warpath to bring things to pass. The MEM
bers have an influence that might be exercised
at the coming election and assure their friends
that 43 votes count for something.
Many of the association are members of the
volunteer fire department and are banded to-
gether for protection and saving of life and
property, and what they have done up to this
time is trustworthy. They now ask for a
moral beneft-the guarding of the rights and
property of the people-and an officer would
indicate this.
Such is the magnitude of the travel here by
railway and carriage that at night going to and
from our homes very often the darkness makes
it dreary and dangerous. Why cannot we
have few lamps to light our way There are
lamps furnished by the county, but too often
they are not lighted because those who have
been doing it gratis have tired, notwithstand-
ing they get the benefit of the light. The
officer would attend to the lamps.
