RAILROAD TRAVEL HEAVY
RAILWAY LINES OF THIS SECTION
REPORT A GENERAL IN
CREASE THIS SEASON.

Another evidence OF the return OF
prosperity to this immediate section Of
the country is the general increase of
about twenty-five per cent in the
summer tourist business OF the rail-
roads of this section The local agent
OF the three lines into Ardmore stated
this morning that much larger mum
ber of tickets are being sold to re-
sorts in the lakes of the north and
to Colorado, although quite few
people living I'm this immediate sec
ton are buying tickets to the Atlantic
coast resorts
The local passenger business shows
an increase In the number OF tickets
used by people travelling within the
limits of the state, but a decrease
in the revenue that is being derived
by the company.
The freight business Of the Santa
F'e shows a good increase when COM
l fdlfh WIN id0l year dllh a u'fiNN IN-
crease when compared with the two
previous months OF May and June.
| The local agent when asked as to
what he attributed the increase. and
! as to what was the greatest increase
noted replied: Il can't very well say,
| We are doing a good business In cv.
/ cry line here, mercantile. building
material, and everything. The fact
that street car line is being con.
! structed is helping matters out very
much but the increase is not attrib.
uted to that alone. In my opinion, 1t
/ Is general resurrection of business
here, the same as is reported all over
the country"
Just at this time quite a number
of people are coming here from other
states TO get in on the ground floor
when the bill for the removal Of re-
strictions becomes effective, and so as
to be able TO get the first pick OF
| the land that will be offered for sale
in this section of the country. Should
the paving plans as outlined by the
city council go through, considerable
money will be turned loose In this
city, and business locally will pick up.

GOOD FOR The TOWN
PROF. GOULD SAYS PROSPECT
FAVOR OIL AND GAS FOR
MeALEsTER.

McAlester, Okla, July 15.-That oil
and gas will be flowing within a ra-
dius OF three miles of this city within
ten years is the belief OF Prof. Q. n.
Gould, geologlst of the state univer-
sity. He maintains that the dip of
the rock in this vicinity indicates that
the gas that may have been in the
earth has escaped, while the incline
of the surface rock from eight to ten
miles to the west, east and northeast
is very favorable for both oil and gas.
Prof. Gould has gone to Muskogee
to make analyses of clay, limestone
and other earth materials In that vi
cinity. He thinks that the town
which first goes about this method
OF exploiting its resources in a scien
tific manner will forge to the front
as manufacturing center.
