San Antonio, Tex, March 29.-Some
enthusiastic Texas remarked mum.
ber of years ago that Texas soil
would make anything grow when wat
er was applied to it, and that this
was the reason that the feet of ne
groes in the Lone Star state are
larger than in any other part OF the
country When a negro gets his feet
in Texas mud the fertility of the soil
makes them grow. Many of the ne
groes here believe this is fact, and

Some time ago John Puts sold to
Charles Fraley the lot on the corner
of Washington street and Second ave-

Fraley contemplates erecting a mod

sirable corners in the city, the lot is
1O3x153, and is very conveniently To-
Gated for the purpose to which Mr.
Fraley proposes to put It.
Mr. Fraley is deeply interested in

MR., AND MRS. ]. f.
HAMILTON INJURED
WHILE DRIVING FROM CHURCH
TO THEIR HOME LAST MON
DAY NIGHT.

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. E. Hamilton had
the misfortune to be severely injured
by the overturning of their buggy as
they were returning home from
church Monday night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton had attend
ed services at the First Presbyterian
church, and when near the crossing
of the Rock Island on B street,
southwest, his buggy was overturned
and both were thrown to the ground.
1t seems that this Is dark cross
ing, there being no electric light
there, and for some reason the horse
attached to the buggy got off the
road, and deep ditch beside the
street was responsible for the rest.
Mrs. Hamilton sustained severe
bruises, and Mr. Hamilton had his
ear nearly torn from his head and
his face badly bruised DR.. Won Kel-
Ter was Immediately summoned. and
said that it was a wonder that the
injuries were no worse. Fortunately,
no bones were broken, but the in
juries to both were severe. They are
at present confined to their home.

STREET CAR LINES
MAY Be EXTENDED
POWER COMPANY INSTALLING
NEW MAcHINERY-THE CITY is
DEEPL INTERESTED.

The Ardmore Ice, Light & Power
company have just installed another
620 horsepower boiler This, it is
explained is to furnish steam for the
additional power that it will require
for the electric railway, and it is said
by many that the lines will be ex-
tended to all parts of the city this
summer, though this latter statement
cannot be verified at present.
Should this be a fact, it will be well
come news to many of the residents
Of the city who are not fortunate
enough to live near the car lines.
There has been growing demand
ever since the railway has been es-
tablished to extend to other parts of
the city, and it would seem to in
dicate from the activity displayed in
installing new boilers and machinery
by the ones who furnish the power
that something was about to take
place along that line.

RAILROAD TAXABLE VALUES.
Nearly All of Oklahoma Lines Show
Decrease for 1911.

Oklahoma City, Okla, March 2S.--
All of the railroads of Oklahoma
have submitted their reports of tax
able values to the state auditor, eX-
cept the Missouri, Oklahoma and
Gulf; the Oklahoma Central and the
Wichita Falls and Northwestern. 1t
is expected that the first named
road Will refuse to make report
at this time, as it has gone into
court to enjoin the collection of last
years taxes, alleging that the as.
sessment should have been made
under the law passed in 1910, instead
Of the former law.
The old law assessed the roads
strictly on an ad valorem basis, and
the new law, while purporting to
make the same sort of assessment,
fixed values on the basis of earnings.
This was advantageous to the small
er roads, as their rails cost probably
as much as those of the Santa Fe
or Frisco. and would be assessed the
same on an ad valorem basis, but
their earning capacity is not nearly
so great.
The Santa Fe is one of the few
roads which has reported an increase
in valuations over last year. Its main
line tracks have been reported on
an average of about $1,000 per mile
higher than last year, although not
quite as high as they were assessed
by the board last year, while the
valuation placed on the sidetracks is
much above the assessment of East
year.

HOUSE, $o0 HIGH SCHOOL and THAT $751; 500 Government BLDGe

April 4th will be red-letter day to
Ardmore in several particulars, but
there is one that rests in the hearts
of every home in this city. We are
people who believe in and love
popular education. We send our chill
dren to school as 40 other city in
Oklahoma does. When the compul-
sorry school law was last year voted
into effect for three months and the
keen eye Of the law searched for va
grant children, not over fifteen could
be found. That brings us to this
particular which is to be consummat-
ed April 4, namely, selection OF a
school board and a school treasurer
commissioned by the people of Ard
more and committed by pledge to the
policy of Immediately building the
100000 high school which was voted
into good bonds some two years ago.
There has been hitch somewhere,
but there shall be no more bitches.
Treasurer Harold Wallace will take
his oath and make his bond and at
once the knot is untangled and the
bonds will be sold at a premium in
any good market. Eight as progress

claims, will set to work at once to

tion by building one Of the handsom.

state of Oklahoma. 1t might be we'll
to name these men: G. H. Bruce and
R. A. Hefner from the First ward,
Charles Fraley and T. L. Smith from
the Second ward, c. L. Byrne and G.
L. Anderson from the Third ward,
and A. c. Young and ]. N. Shinholser
from the Fourth ward. These men
will do their duty and the commence
ment of 1912 will be held in the
splendid auditorium of the new $780,

Baseball Committee Busy.

The baseball committee appointed
at the recent meeting of the COM
mercial club, Of which w. NJ. Hills
Is chairman, have been busy today
raising the necessary funds to as
sure Ardmore being in the league the
coming season and is meeting with
success. T.
Yesterday transportation was sent
by Manager Rogers to several men
who will report at once, and active
practice will begin in anticipation
of the visit of the Denver Grizzlies"
who will be here for an exhibition
game April 18th.
The baseball situation here bore
gloomy aspect for a time. but some
of the best business men in the city
became active and said that ArdmOre
must have a team this coming seas
on. and their efforts have been re-
warded by their ability TO steer the
project through the shoals and it is
now an assured fact that Ardmore
will have a winning team.

State Supreme Court Commissions

state supreme court commissions.
Guthrie, Okla, March 28.-Five OF
the six members of the state supreme
cent legislature, were agreed upon in
a conference of the five justices of
the supreme court late Tuesday and
announced Tuesday night, one from
each supreme court judicial district
as follows: Philip Brewer of Meal
ester, appointed by Chief Justice Tur-
ner; NJ. E. Rosser, Poteau, appointed
by Justice Williams; ]. B. A. Robert
son, of Chandler, appointed by JUS
tice Kane; ]. F. Sharp, of Purcell,
appointed by Justice Hayes; and John
B. Harrison, of Sayre, appointed by
Justice Dunn. The sixth member, to
be appointed at large over the state,
has not yet been announced.
The commission holds for two
years, each member getting $4,000
per annum, the purpose of the COM
mission being to assist the state su'
preme court in clearing the congested
docket, which in great part was In
herited when the two territories were
united in statehood.
The terms of the appointees will
not begin for perhaps sixty to ninety
days because Of the state capital re-
moval case now pending in the Unit
ed States supreme court. The supreme
court does not desire to organize the
court either at Guthrie or Oklahoma
City and then perhaps make it neces-
sary for the court to change follow
ing the capital decision.
The intervening period also will
give the appointees sufficient time to
clean up all private legal business so
they can devote their time thereafter
to their new duties. Altogether there
were twenty-six applicants for the po-
sitions, including Fred Branson OF
Muskogee, chairman of the democratic
state committee, and former Con
gresham Elmer L. Fulton Of Okla
homa City.
1t was stated by members Of the
supreme bench that other attorneys
than those who had applied were
considered in making the appoint
nents. and this is borne out by the
fact that Justice Hayes chose J.' F.
Sharp of Purcell, who was not among
the applicants from his district.
OF the men named, all have been
prominent in the state.
Robertson OF Chandler has served
on the district bench and was can
didate for the democratic nomination

occupies offices in the Lewis build
ing over the Ardmore National Bank
His partners in the practice of law

joyed the trip very much. Mrs Da-
Wis will not move here for a few
months, as the daughter is in Kidd
Key College at Sherman. During the
summer months his family will join
him here. Mr.. Davis took a drive
over the city and he is delighted
with Ardmore. He says the streets
here are the prettiest he ever saw
in any city, the wide thoroughfares,
the wide sidewalks and the fine
paving and the growing trees make
Ardmore as pretty town as was
ever pictured by camera or in story.
He says also that natural gas is the
greatest luxury in the world and he
is glad to see Ardmore plentifully
supplied, and the city water is as
fine as ever ran down the side OF
Colorado mountain, and he feels
that If every man knew of the lux
ury of living in Ardmore that it
would be the pleasure ground for
everybody.
