We, the Waterwu forks Committee of
the City Council, and the Commit
tee appointed by the Commercial Club
OF the City of Ardmore, hereby state
that we have personally inspected
the dam at the city lake. and have
carefully gone over the plans and
estimates of Walter C. Dean, and We
unhesitatingly recommend that the
improvements outlined by Mr.. Dean
and hereto attached be made.
We are confident that by making
the improvements as herein outlined
that the said dam will need no fur
ther repairs and will stand as long as
time lasts. A smaller amount of mon
ey could be probably used in fixing
said dam; but taking into considera-
ton the tremendous Importance OF
the city lake to the city, and realiz-
ing the fearful consequence II any
thing should happen to said dam. we,
therefore, think 1t is the safest and
wisest course for the city to fix the
same as there will be no possibility
of its giving away in the future.
The plans and specifications In
every detail and even the estimated
cost of each item can be seen at the
office Of Walter C. Dean. City Engi-
neer. Respectfully,

WORLDS COTTON SHORTAGE.
All Signs Point to Rush" Demand
Some Time Soon.

Some Time Soon.
During the past SIX or eight months
most unusual conditions have influ-
cnccd the markets for the worlds sta
pie products, and perhaps no one crop
has been more effected thereby than
cotton, the crop upon which the
south chiefly relies for immediate
cash
while many people contend that
the organization known as the Far
mors Union made mistake in fix
ing at the beginning OF the season
the minimum price at which its mom-
bcrship should market THE staple
at too high figure, still had nor
NAL conditions ruled throughout the
season, present knowledge regarding
the worlds shortage justfes the con-
clusion that such minimum price
might have been obtained before the
close Of the season. But following
the action taken by this organized
farmers movement, SO potential a
factor in the production OF the staple.
there can be little doubt that the
spinning world and every interest
identified with II determined by every
means within its power TO resist to
the last extremity this now price maxi
ing power in the market. Hence, the
deadlock between the farmer and the
consumer began with the opening Of
the season and has been waGed un-
remittngly ever since. Unfortunately
for the farmer. the panic, whatever
the cause producing It,, came on ear
| ly in the season, paralyzing trade
conditions throughout the world and
contributing more to weaken him
in his fight for hisher prices than the
combined power of all other influ-
ences. This trade depression, which
stlll hangs like a pail over the cotton
market, could hardly have been fore
seen, hence whatever the outcome OF
the contest the element Of chance
has contributed to make II an unequal
one for the farmer
However, as stated at the outset
there are not wanting indications
that the remnant OF the crop, a large
portion OF which IS still in first
hands, may soon command higher
prices than now prevail. Statistics
show that the shortage in the worlds
supply, including the Indian and Egyp
tian crops. will approximate four mil
lion bales at the end OF the season
Ever with trade conditions abnor
mally dull. 1t is hardly to be conceiv
ed that the spinners will choose tC
face the opening OF the new season
with stocks reduced to practically
nothing. Hence. many students OF the
situation think that competition TO
the remainder OF the present croI
will soon become very sharp anC
prices will ascend correspondingly.-

viii Filter City Water.

We, the mayor and city council OF
the city OF Ardmore, Okla, realiz-
ing the condition of the city water
and the great importance OF having
the same filtered, hereby state
that out of the $4,000 of waterworks
bonds, IL they should be voted by
the citizens OF Ardmore, we will at
once proceed as soon as said funds
are available to install tirst-class
litter for the purpose OF filtering said
water
We believe that there will be
ample funds out OF said $4,000 worth
of water works bonds to put in said
filter and all other work necessary
for the purpose of clearing the water
shed and strengthening the dam.
