HARNESS WASH|TA
SAYS THIS ENGINEER
EXPERIENCED CONST RUCTlNG
ENGINEER TALKS OF COST
AND BENEFITS.

Dwight Horton, vice president OF
the ]. w. Maxcy company of con
sulting and contracting engineers OF
Houston. Texas, who was in the
city today, is enthusiastic over the
prospects of the development of a
vast amount of water power on the
Washita river near here. He was re
turning from the river and stopped
here for a few hours.
'If the Ardmore people will thor
cughly look into this NATTER he
said. "and see what advantages II
has over other towns and learn
what the benefits are that can be
derived from municipal power
plant on the Washita, there will not
be a citizen of your town that will
not become interested in the prop
osition.'
This statement coming from the
source it does is very encouraging
to the people of Ardmore. Mr.. Hor-
ton has charge of the construction
work of this company, he graduated
in the engineering department o'
the University of New Mexico in
! 1898, and has devoted his time eX
clusively to work of this kind. His
father was a contracting engineer
and Mr.. Horton has spent his en-
tire life in this work. He has done
| the construction work on many
plants of this kind and is thorough
ly conversant with such undertake
ings. He estimates that the proposed
plant will generate 5000 horsepower
for ten hours a day and 1000 horse
power for the remainder of the day
The cost will be from $250,O00 to
100000, depending largely upon the
cost of the land and the riparian
rights on the river,
Mr. Horton is member of the
American Society of Engineers and
stands at the head of his profession,
and the people of Ardmore will ap-
preciate what he says of the great
natural advantage that lies at their
door.
The harnessing of the Washitd has
been the hobby of a dozen or more
men in Ardmore for the past five or
six years, and these men, who
might be termed pioneers in this
thought, want the power developed
by the city, so that it may be con
trolled as an Ardmore proposition
and not transmitted to Oklahoma
City and used to develop that city
instead of this. In case any private
company develops the water power
it stands to reason that they will
take it where the best market is,
and in that way it is possible that
some larger city will reap the ben
efits nature has given this town,
instead of Ardmore being the bene-
ficiary.

Only Think We Are Tired.

One difficulty which we all recog.
nize is that of distinguishing between
real and pseudo fatigue in ourselves
or others. and knowing when a ra.
tional degree of real fatigue has been
reached. Even the Psychologist in his
laboratory. however exact he may be
with the muscles OF animals, has no
method of measuring accurately the
degree Of fatigue in the intact body
of a human being Our sensations are
not altogether a safe guide. We often
interpret a temporary sleepiness, a
temporary lack Of power OF attention
and uneasiness to be free from our
task. as signs of real WEAKNESS and
evidence that we should stop our la.
bors. Yet we know that often a
slight change of conditions will seem
to give us renewed energy, the feel
ing of fatigue is gone and We turn
with freshness to our task: our sup.
posed fatigue was only an Illusion

Washington President Thco-

Also Col Roosevelt is TO be called upon
to indorse the Taft administration, the

Republicans in congress. Such is the
programme made out by the Republican

Chairman w. h. Mckinley Of the con.

have the specific approval OF President
Taft is one of the things that is not dis

also approved by Col Roosevelt's son
