FARM WORK PRO-
CROSSING NICELY
GOOD SEASON AND ALL FARM
ERS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
THE SITUATION.

The farmers of this county are far
ther advanced in their work at this
season of the year than they have
been in many years past" said w. F..
Warren this afternoon. The season
has been ideal for farming and II
nothing prevents | cannot see why
Ardmore and Carter county should
should not enjoy another year as
prosperous as the past has. Farm
ers are getting interested in alfalfa
and blooded hogs, and l believe that
there is more ready money in those
two products of the farm than any
thing. The farmers around Berwyn
are as far if not farther advanced in
their work than any other sections of
the county, but there is very little
fault that can be found about the
work done on the farms in any sec
ton of the county.

OIL EDITION
FOR APRIL
COL. FRANK G. PROUTY, NEWSP A.
PER AND MAGAZINE WRITER
EMPLOYED ON SPECIAL.

Col. Frank G.. Prouty, who publish
ed the first paper at Guthrie at the
opening of the territory of Oklahoma
called the Guthrie Get Up" arrived
in the city today and will commence
work on the special oil and gas boost
er edition of the Ardmoreite that will
be issued sometime in April.
He has founded thirty six papers
in the territory Of Oklahoma, and has
assisted largely in the development of
the present state. He was an enthusi-
astic single stater," and worked
faithfully for the union of the two
territories into one state. For eight
years he was national committeeman
of the Oklahoma Press association,
and secured the national convention
of editors for Guthrie in June, 1905.
He took the national editors for a
trip through Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, and when those editors re-
turned home in every state in the un-
ion, they punched up their representa-
tives in congress, and therefore, the
birth of the state of Oklahoma was
brought about by these national law
makers. The development of the
state has been phenominal, and it is
because of the commercial clubs OF
the various cities and the real estate
busters, and the press that has let
the world know of our mineral. agri-
cultural and other great natural re-
sources. Since Ardmore is the home
of the chief executive as well as the
chairman of the state board Of af-
fairs, Mr. Prouty says; ITS now up
to the citizens to assist the Ardmore
ite in getting out this magnificent
edition, and showing to the people
of the world the opportunities of be-
coming statesmen as well as add to
their material wealth"

ARDMORE ASPHALT
BEST IN WORLD
CITIZEN OF VOLUNTEER STATE
SAYS OUR STREETS ARE BEST
IN THE WORLD.

George Davidson OF Nashville,
Tennessee stopped over between
trains today en- route from his home
to visit relatives in Texas. Mr.. Dav-
about Ardmore asphalt that he de
cided that he wanted to see it. Ask
ed as to what he thought of our paw
ing he said. Il have visited nearly
al of the large cities in the United
States, and ! want to say now that |
believe this paving to be the best, and
your Main street to be the best paved
street in the United States.
The trouble We nave mad with as
phalt paving in our city is that in ex-
treme warm weather it gets soft and
is easily deplaced. They tell me that
this is not the case with Ardmore as
phalt, that it stands up as well in
warm weather as it does in cold, and
from personal observations, / believe
this to be true. Ardmore and your
section of the state is indeed for
tunate in having these valuable de-
posits, and l look for the time to ar
rive, and that too in the near future
when it will be fully developed
Mr.. Davidson stated that on his re-
turn trip that he would stop over
here and pay a visit to the asphalt
mines.

PAVING COMMITTEE BUSY.
investigating Contracts and May Re-
port Today.

AT the regular meeting OF the city
council Tuesday morning report OF
the special investigating committee
will be heard on the awarding of the
$500, 600 paving contracts. The inves-
tigation of Mayor Laciiey, who said
Monday.
Il am holding up the contracts
because | want TO ascertain why
the Levy Bros. We're disqualified and
why the straightforward company
did not keep within the specifica-
tions."
The meeting promises to be inter-
esting. Councilman +. T. Cook will
introduce his resolution asking that
all the contracts semi-officially made
be withdrawn and that the clerk be
authorized to re-advertise for bids
They will table the resolution,
know" sand the councilman Monday,
but nevertheless / am going to find
out why the Levy company was dis
qualified"
A large number of the taxpayers
along Ollie and Wheeler avenues are
expected to attend the meeting
These people petitioned the council
for the rock asphalt pavement, on
which the Straightforward company
bid, but the council rejected their
petition and the Ardmore firm was
disqualified.
Relative to the report that the
contracts of the Cleveland Trinidad
compang and the Western Paving
company are not in the hands of the
city's executive, Mayor Lackey stat
ed emphatically Monday that ne
would not sight them and that the
contracts as far as the city is con
cerned are in his possession awaiting
the outcome of the investigation.
A few of the members of the coun-
Gil who voted for the awarding of
the contracts to the Cleveland Trini-
da0 and the Western companies and
the acceptance of the paving com
mi+tee's relcrt which disqualified
both the Levy and the IShelby-Down-
ards bids have changed in their
stand and will vote for a reconsider
alton of the entire paving matter. A
strong attempt will he made by the
insurgents to have the bids read
vertised.
Other than the disposition of the
paving matter, the council will in ali
probability award 100000 in Oklaho
maCity bonds to the highest bid
der This may not take place Tues
day, as the council may see fit to ap.
point a special committee to ascer-
tain the standing of the purchasing
bond house. However, if one of the
old-lne bonding companies that have
purchased the bulk of the citys Sc
curities lin the past is the highest
bidder this form will likely be omit
ted.
