MEANS CHEAP POWER FOR ARD
MORE AND SOUTH OKLAHOMA
The PLANS ARE MATURED
Promoters OF This Scheme State
They Have Financed the Propo-
sition and Active Work Will
Begin Shortly.

1t was learned today that plans
for the harnessing of the Washita
river have been matured and that
active operations are to begin at
once. Engineers in their reports
show that sufficient amount of
power is going to waste in the
Washta river to furnish electric
power TO every city almost in the
state and to run electric lines OF
road through this section. The plan
is to build great dam across tns
river and store and control tne
water for power purposes. The pro-
moters OF this scheme are in the
city and state that without doubt
they will carry out their plans and
that 1t will mean great deal to
Ardmore. Cheap electric power cal.
be used for all kinds of machinery
to operate factories and mills and
a network of electric railway lines
will grace this section of south
ern Oklahoma.

The Ardmoreite is delighted to
state that the contract has been let
TO Trickett & Myall for the erection
of an elegant two story brick school
house in District No. 20. north of
Ardmore. between the city and Caddo
creek. II is the first of five splendid
suburban school houses shortly to be

as good facilities as Ardmore now
possesses. and even better. as each
suburban school building will contain

the high school is badly in need and
for lack of which II is very much
handicapped. Not school building in
the city has an auditorium.

OKLAHOMA SCHOOL HOUSES.
Better Than in Old States and Are
Attracting Good Citizens.

Coming through the state OF Okla
homa there is nothing that makes n
stronger impro ssion on the tourist or
now citizen than the handsome school
houses found at so many small
towns In many OF the old states
town OF seven TO ten thousand inhab-
itants would have such place to
train the children as are found in Ok
lahoma in towns OF from two to three
thousand. II is this fact. noted by
all visitors written home by every
visitor, which has done more 10 ad.
vertise Oklahoma than her wealth OF
natural resources. Through the child
you reach the parent. and moreover
the children can have the best ad-
vantagos is the place that will attract
the father and mother. Every dollar
judiciously laid out on the school
houses of our state means an hun
dred gained in new settlers and more
help to develop our towns and coun-
try settlements. Bear this In mind If
you are inclined TO grumble and cry,
"eXtravagance," when new outlay
is made for school improvement.
