NEWS OF THE RAILROADS
Great Northern Letting Contracts
for Depot.
Engineers Work on Logging Road

The Great Northern's new depot al
Newport is to be erected by contract.
Practically all the contracts for the struc.
ture have been let, and work will be
started as soon as material can be as
sembled.
| Among the changes that the Great
Northern will make in the local Yards
will be the cutting down of the bank on
the north part of its right-of-way at the
west end of the yards, in the neighbor-
hood of the Jap section workers homes.
This will give enginemen approaching
from the west full view of the yards
and also eliminate part of the curve.
In the east end of the yards the high
bank adjoining the Nagle property will
be taken out to make room for the new
passing track.
Several lines are being run by the 1.
4 w. n. engineers to secure better
grade for the logging road west of town.
In addition to the lines up the two
gulches, line has been run along the
side hill nearly as far west as Penrith,
and on this per cent grade can be
secured. Up the gulches the grade is
from to per cent, which can be nego-
tiated all right by the shay engines, but
would be difficult for the big freight en-
gines to make.
One of the prominent railroad con-
tractors of this section recently returned
from st. Paul, and states that he is in
possession of positive information that
the Great Northern will this summer
build the railroad from Priest River to
Priest Lake.
The Spirit Lake shops of the Black
we'll road are fitting up 20 more fiat cars
with bunkers for use in hauling logs.
The Newport depot park of the Black
we'll road is showing up fine this spring
The lawn is making good growth and
beautiful flowers planted last fall are in
bloom. The shade trees set out last fail
are in thrifty condition, all of them hav-
ing survived the winter.
The I. & W. N. has placed in service
new Ledgerwood car for the unloading
of ballast trains.

FIRE IN BUSINESS DISTRICT
Koch 6 Weinkauf Building De.
stroyed by Fire.
One OF Oldest Business Buildings

Monday night about 1915 the Smith
barber shop in the Koch & Weinkauff
building on Fourth street was discovered
to be on fire, the flames breaking through
the roof. An alarm was quickly phoned
IN and in very short time the fire de-
partment and large number of citizens
had responded to the alarm and two
streams of water were playing on the
flames.
The fire seems to have started IN the
roof OF the barber shop bath room and
was we'll under way when discovered.
The flames quickly communicated into
the attic of the main building, and it
seemed that all efforts to stop them
would be unavailing. But the work of
lire company was so effective that the
flames were largely confined to the attic,
and large part of the damage in the
lower room was caused by water and the
falling in Of the roof. At l O'Clock the
fire was practically out
Koch & Weinkauff carried insurance
to the extent of $4,000 on the building
and their fixtures, which amount will
hardly cover the loss, as what remains
of the building is worthless except for
some lumber salvage, and must be
wrecked and removed from the prem
ises. G. E. Smith carried $4O0 insur-
ance on his barber shop fixtures, part of
which were saved. His loss was ad-
justed at $267 and paid the next day,
the adjuster happening to be in town to
look after the Sammons fire loss Of the
week before.
The Kelly building, with solid brick
walls and high fire walls, prevented the
further spread OF the flames and was of
great assistance in confining the fire.
Mr.. Kellv's building was not damaged
in the least, and doubtless was the
means of preventing the spread OF the
fire into the frame buildings up the
street. The absence of wind aleo fav-
ored the firemen in their fight.
When the fire was nearly under con-
troll W. F. Kinnear, one of the nozzle
men, was overcome by smoke and was
dangerously sick for a time, but was

SANTA r BECOMES
BIG OIL PRODUCER
MAINTAINS A POLICY OF IMPEN-
ETRABLE SECRECY - OTHERS
WILL INVADE TIE FIELD

writer in the Wichita Eagle
says:
The Santa Fe Railway company
promises 10 become one OF the big
ges, oil producers in the entire coun-
Try, resulting from the development
OF the Wheeler oil field west of
Ardmore.
Since transportation facilities have
been furnished. the Santa Fe com
pany, which opened the first wells
in the Wheeler field has been
pushing the developing of It's hold
ings. For the past few weeks this
company has been working three
shifts OF men day and night, and
az this time eight new wells are
being driven. The Santa Fe owns
more than 40 producing wells, be
sides the new ones now being drill
ed
From the start the company has
maintained policy OF secrecy and
it is impossible to ascertain the
real value OF the holdings, from the
fact the wells are capped as fast
as brought in and even the casual
visitor TO the field is met by a
patrolman in the employ of the
Santa Fe, who politely, but none
the less firmly, advises him that
he can go no farther that he will
not be allowed TO inspect the field
at all. No questions will be answered
by any employe and the only testi-
mony that can be adduced is from
the pools of oil which have flooded
the depressions in the road, before
the flow from a new well could
be controlled and which stands hub
deep in various places.
Many new companies have been
formed in the last few weeks, all
with ample capital 10 develop their
respective properties From the San
Ia Fe holdings wells have been drill
ed TO the southwest and southeast.
Oil experts have agreed that an i'm
mense pool lies somewhere under
this field and that the main flow
has not as yet been found"

SUIT CASE STOLEN TWICE.
Ourant Citizen Who Lost Property in
Ardmore Recovered IT,

W l.. Sauls OF Durant was a recent
visitor to ArdmOre If that were all
there would be no news features at
tachcd to his being here. But that is
not all. Mr. Sauls was carrying
nice grip or suit case or travelling bag
The suit case or whatever it was got
away from him. II was last seen y
the proper owner at the depot But il
disappeared Mr.. Sauls was unable to
locate II and left for home. Now there
was nothing wrong with the grip, il
was carried in the ordinary way o.
tTavelins and was not used to convey
contraband goods or anything OF that
nature. But soTe boy probably sus-
pccted that it was and the case disap.
peared The police was told of the
matter and the burden laid upon the
shoulders OF the man in uniform. The
boy who took the case took it to the
of cotton picking. Now this sane
boy had a pal The pal looked with
longing eyes at that new case. H.
wanted it very much. Occasion came
Tor him to leave the cotton plantation
and the pal of the first boy who took
the case appropriated IL to his own
use The pal brought it to Ardmore.
He stopped at one of the carter room
ing houses Mr. Carter saw the suit
case He had heard of it and thought
this one at his rooming house filled
the bill The man in the uniform was
notified and the grip was taken charge
Of II proved 10 be the property Of
Mr. Sauls and the Durant man came
to claim his property and he was very
generous with his praise of the police
and rewarded the particular police
man who located the find.
