Portland, March booster spirit
ran high at the biennial dinner of the
Portland Commercial club the past
week when the continuation of the

cussed. The accom- plishments of the
past two years were recounted and

Hill, Judge Robert s. Lovett, Louis
w. Hill, Theodore B. Wilcox, How
ard Elliott, and others in which en-
couragement was given for the work
accomplished. Speeches were full of
optimism. c. C. Chapman, George F..
Johnson and others told Of the prog
ress of the work. President Stevens
of the Hill lines in Oregon urged
further promotion work and it was
decided to raise 100000 for public
ity during the coming two years.
Manager Chapman Of the Promotion
Committee laid special stress upon
the Oregon Development League work
and told of the splendid spirit shown
throughout the state. The sentiment
of all was that this cooperation
should be maintained and all Oregon
should be boosted, rather than any
one section. Portland must grow with
the Northwest instead ahead of it.

Mrs. E. p. skaggs Sells Flora Jour-
nal To Roscoe Gnormley and
A. M. Boiden--News Notes.

Mrs. E. P. Skaggs, proprietress of
the Flora Journal Tor the past nine
years, has sold that rustling sheet
to Messrs. Roscoe Ghormley and A..
NJ. Bolden, who took possession of
the plant Monday morning.
During the time Mrs. Skaggs has
been at the head of the Journal she
always tried and was very success
full in getting out bright, clean,
newsy sheet which was fully apprec-
lated by her faithful readers.
Mr.. Ghormley of the new firm is
now at outside points and expects to
bring back with him new presses, pa
per cutter and other machinery to
make the work of getting out good
paper much easier.
The new firm is intending to re-
model the present Journal building,
install new type and machinery and
make the plant one of the best in
the county. Here's hoping.

in Enterprise, Saturday.
Mrs. N. N. Straley of Paradise de-
parted for Asotin the first of the
week, where she and her husband
will make their future home.
Sheep are still dying at the Coff-
man sheep ranch. The report that
it is all from hydrophobia, however,
is greatly exaggerated. Frank Able,
who has been herding at the camp,
said this morning that but few had
died from that cause, that the sheep
being old and other conditions were
responsible for by far the greater
part of the deaths.
The last heard from James For
dice, who is in Portland, he was
recovering from the operation he had
recently undergone.
DR.. Gilmore has traded q portion
Of his town property to Walter Ap-
plegate for town property in Imbler.
We are pleased 10 know that Mr..

stay in Flora. We are in hopes, how
ever, that the doctor will not con
clude to leave us.

w. c. Straley, Sunday, in honor of
that gentleman's 50th birthday.
NJ. H. Tucker of Enterprise was in
town Friday night.

Lorene of Eden were at Troy Mon
day having some dental work done

After working on the Troy Flour
ing mill for some time, VIM. Robin
son returned to his home at Grouse
last Sunday.
Quite an excitement has been ex
isting on account of the long absence
of A. J. Henderson and son, who
went out for six days hunt and
were not heard from for 21 days
which was Wednesday. For three
days Frank Peterson, Ora Farmer
Frank Eggleston, James Chadsey and
Chas. Flemming searched in the
mountains for some trace Of them,
the family at home being almost fran
tic with grief. At last a message was
sent to Waitsburg where relatives live
and it was learned that those who
had been thought lost had been there
visiting and were now on their way
home.

LODGED IN JAIL
 ON SERIOUS CHARGE

Little Rock, Oct. 2O.-In de- fault of $5,0OO bond, J. E. Smith. ton was lodged in jail to await the action of the federal grand grand jury on charge of violat- Ing the white slave laws of the United States. He was arraing. ed yesterday before Commis. sioner w. s. Allen on a charge of abducting for alleged immoral purposes Bettie Crouch, aged F years, daughter of Bob Crouch. Pulaski Heights barber. The evidence was sufficient, in the mind of the Commissioner, to hold him to the grand jury, which is now in session, for a thorough investigation. If con- vlcted under the Mann act, he will be sentenced to not less than two years in the penitentiary at Atlanta and fined not less than $5.OOO. There is no state law on the subject, but as Smithton had announced his intention of talk ing her out of the state, to Chica. go. to make an actress of her, it became actionable under the fed eral statute.
 Miss Crouch answered an ad- vertisement in the morning pap. CT for girl to come to the Capi- tai Hotel to get a position, and it alleged that Smithton induced her to leave the city with him and take part in carnival at- traction. She did not notify her parents, and it was 8 week be- fore they located her at the Searcy fair. Smithton and the girl were brought back to Lit tie Rock and the girl is now with her parents.

GOVERNOR HAS
 NOTHING TO SAY

When Governor Donaghey was if there was any truth in the re- port that the Chancery decision of the Turner-Jacobson bill would have any effect upon his political attitude, he said:
 II have nothing whatever to say about it at this time. Just let them keep guessing. You remember the old revolu utionary general who said to his men Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes We'll, I am waiting till 1 see the whites of their eyes"

CASE TO REACH
 COURT MONDAY

The case of w. A. Compton, of Mariana, convicted in Lee Cir cult Court last spring of the embezzlement of school funds and sentenced to a year in the penitentiary, will be submitted to the supreme court next Mon- day. Judge Compton was for merly County Judge of Pulaski county and his father was at one time member of the Arkansas Supreme Court. He removed to Mariana about ten years ago.
 Soon after the appeal was filed, the Attorney General con fessed error because of a faulty indictment, but it was found up on investigation that this was a clerical oversight, and when a corrected indictment was filed. the confession of error was with drawn. The defense is now re lying for reversal upon the con tention that the indictment does not charge facts sufficient to constitute em bezzlement, a n d that even if it did, the evidence does not substantiate such a charge.

YANKEE ROBINSON
 SHOW WELL ATTENDED

The crowd in Prescott to wit ness the performances of the Yankee Robinson circus was the biggest that has been in the city for long time, being much larger than the one present on a similar occasion last month.
 The crowd began to arrive carly this morning and some who wished to make certain that they missed none of the sights of the day came as early as last night. By the middle of the forenoon inc crowd overfowed the side walks and it was necessary to take to the streets to make one's way past the conges ted mass of humanity that blocked the way,
 By the time the parade passed st noon the size of the crowd reached the maximum. The pa rade was a good one, the fine horses being the feature. But few of the cages containing the animals were open. Two good bands were carried in the pa rade and goodly number of clowns in fantastic costumes supplied the crowd with merri- ment. Cowboys and Indians who take part in the wild west per tormance also participated in the parade.

Residents of Prescott were shocked at the ann ouncement of the death of little Mary Pittman, the eight year old daug of MT. and Mrs. Dan Pittman, which occurred at 12:30 a. m. last night.

 Little Mary was idolized by her parents and other relatives and the deepest sympathy is felt for the bereaved ones by their many friends. The grief of the par ents is augmented by the fact that she was the only child.

Troops all over the United States
are holding themselves in readiness to
start at any moment to Mexico. 1t is
intimated that American troops will
invade Mexican territory. Just what
the president means by mobilizng the
army on the Mexican border is not
known, but it is significant. Mexico
might solidity its armies against the
United States and save their common
country from q revolution II It were
not for Texas, but Mexico fears the
Lone Star state and will not give bat.
tie to American troops unless Texas
was eliminated. Simple as the prop
osition seems to us It is a fact that
the average Mexican thinks his cOun
try could defeat the United States il
Texas were out OF the way. United
States ought to own the country from
Hudson Bay to Panama Canal and
now seems a most auspiciOus time to
move southwark and annex the coun
try of Diaz. 1t would be a great bless
ing to the people OF that unhappy re
public and our people could use the
room to good advantage.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1911-03-12

A general discussion was entered
into concerning different kinds OF con
crete by Owens, Dawson and others
Huff said the Ada cement was made
by process which ground it finer
than any other plant west of the
Mississippi, it was the latest process,
but it made the concrete longer in
setting. He said the Dewey cement
which would be used on one-half
the work would be much quicker
and said he had had the same trou-
BILE at Norman and at Muskogee,
but that the work stood the test when
it stood a proper length of time.
A resolution was adopted giving the
contractors right to proceed with
the work with the understanding that
it was to be condemned If not salts
factory at the time final payments
were to be made.
The commissioners voted to pur
chase some land on West Main
street from Mr.. Jordan to save the
expense of putting in some drain
pipes which the old council had
agreed to do. Mr.. Burnitt said it
was $500 cheaper to buy the land
than to put in the pipes, and the city
would be released from the old
contract.
March IA, IS and 16 were declared
cleanup days and March II was de-
clared arbor day and the mayor was
instructed to publish a proclamation
in accordance.
Adjournment was taken.

The mayor and board of city com
missioners held two meetings yes
terdav. making investigations OF the
complaints of property owners on
Broadway concerning the grade OF
concrete work that is being done.
The owners of property on that thor
oughfare. and o. l.. DENIES with
them, are of the opinion that the
work will not stand and that the
loss is likely to fall upon them wheh
the contractors are gone. In order
to give them a hearing, special
meeting of the city board was called
for Yesterday at ten o'clock
All the commissioners and he
mayor were present and Commls-
sioner Burnitt stated the object OF
The meeting. Mr.. Burnitt said he
had brought some Of the concrete
TO the office for examination, Jhat
the engineer said it was good and
the property owners thought other
wise. and he referred to the letter
of o. l.. DENIES published Friday
Mr.. Burnitt said the object OF the
meeting was to make as rigid an eX-
animation into the character OF the
work as possible.
Mr.. DENIES said he owned no
property on the street, but belleved
the city should get good job OF
work. He said if the paving company
was insolvent that the property own
ers might have to build the work
over. He said Buck Gardenhire had
called his attention to it and that
he could run his foot into the ce-
ment and knock it out, that the engi-
neer said it was good, but he be
lieves it is worthless.
Engineer Myers objected to the
manner in which the people were
kicking the concrete and digging at
it with their knives.
Mr.. Kearney said the people
ought to have a right to test it.
Mr.. Myers said it could not be
tested until it set and had time to
harden.
Mayor Cotner said the owners
were not more anxious than the Of
ficials TO see that the work was
all right, that bond had been TAX
en-. the bond was from a solvent
company approved by the state or
Oklahoma, that the work would not
be accepted unless 1t was good.
Mayor Cotner owns property i'll the
district, he made the same objections
that others are making and stayed
on the works one day, that the con-
tractor told him that this grade OF
cement was slow in setting He said
those who had objections TO make
should come to the board instead of
going to the press. he thought Den
mes should come to the mayor in
stead of the newspaper.
DENIES said as stockholder in the
city he was interested.
Mayor asked If he owned stock
in a bank would he make his objec-
tions TO the management known
through the press or to the directors.
DENIES said We are all liable to
make mistakes. he referred to some
matters concerning the filtration
plant. He said the rock used was not
generally used for that work, that
stones should be larger.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1911-03-12

The city campaign has begun to
warm up. The blessing is that 1t can
last but ten days and the primary will
settle the result. Mayor Cotner had
his initial meeting last week, Commits
sioner Dawson gives notice that he
will speak Thursday night at the
court house. Mr.. Johnston will make
announcement Monday when his meet
ing will be held and there will be
plenty doing for several days to come.
SO far the campaign has been a sane
one, but the boys are warming up for
their respective candidates and more
activity is to be expected.
