JOHN A. WHITE, MANkATO, MINI
SPEAKS WELL FOR CITY AND
COUNTRY AROUND.

John \. White of Mankato, Mian,
who has been in this section for
the past several weeks the guest
of 0 c. Litchfield left this morning

White did not differ in his express
sions from all other visitors to this
section of the country, but left
here a boomer for Ardmore and Ok

Mr.. White is connected with the
International Harvester CO. and has
been for the past several years, and
has travelled over good portion of
the United States, but considers Ok
lahoma the best of all and especially
this section OF the state.
In speaking of the impression that
this country made on him, Mr.. White
said:
Just as soon as restrictions are re-
moved and the land may be purchas-
ed by settlers you will see a perfect
influx of people to this section Of
the country. | came here several
weeks ago to spend short time
with my old friend Litchfield, and
to look around a little with a view
of making investments. Your eli
mate is such that will bring people
here by the wholesale, and your
soil is fertile and good for the
cultivation of all kinds Of crops. Just

MANY MATTERS DISCUSSED
BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

\ special meeting of the directors
Of the Commercial Club was held
yesterday afternoon at which many
matters were considered.
The conditions at the Watciworks
dam were discussed and committee
comprising Messrs. Simpson, Dodspn
and German was appointed to Co.
operate with a similar committee
from the city and make a report
and recommendation for the benefit
of the citizens
The question of entertaining the
summer normal was considered and
the committee instructed to continue
and complete arrangements.
Mr. Weiss made a report of the
amount of money collected for the
purpose of carrying on the campaign
for the location of a normal school
in the city, showing that all ex-
penscs had been paid to date and that
a small amount was still on hand.
When the matter comes before the
legislature for a vote "A committee
will go from Ardmore and the re-
mainder OF the money subscribed will
be needed
Mr. Joiner for the committee re.
ported that favorable progress had
been made and that he felt very op-
timistic of the future.
The manner in which some pros.
pectors are handled came TO the at
tention of the board and it was de-
cided that a meeting should be called
soon at which all real estate men
should be invited so the matter could
be discussed thoroughly.
Col. Suggs suggested the arrange
ment OF a permanent Carter county
exhibit and also that printed mat
ter should be sent TO the Confed-
crate reunion at Birmingham, but no
action was taken.

FORT WORTH AGAIN FLOODED
BIG RISE IN THE WEST FORK
FORCES THOUSANDS TO FLEE
FROM THEIR HOMES.

River bottoms in and around Fort
Worth were again flooded yesterday
afternoon and last night and fully 2
600 people were again driven from
their homes to places of safety.
The crest of the new rise came
within ten inches OF equaling the SEN
sational record of last Sunday,
The West Fork was solely account
able for the food, and the Newark
cloudburst of early Wednesday night
is said to have produced the fork
flood.
At midnight the waters were slowly
falling, but by inches, and not more
than a total of two inches had been
clipped from the crest, Indications
then were, however, that the flood
had spent its main force.
