WILL REFUND MONEY
PAID ON SHELTER
MINE OWNERS WILL USE ENTIRE
NET PROCEEDS UNTIL ALL
STOCK ISSUED is TAKEN UP.

William +. Warren and w. f.
Beard both of whom are interested
in the mining lands of the Arbuckle
mountains and both of whom are in
terested in the establishment of the
smelter which the Electric Controller
company proposes to build here, made
the statement today that they would
sign AN agreement to reimburse the
People for stock purchased in the
smelter and would use the entire net
proceeds from their mineral for that
purpose until all who desired to dis.
pose of their stock had sold
Should the plan work out, this
would be the means of securing the
smelter with merely a loan on the
part of the people who agree to take
the stock. Within ninety days the
promoters say the plant can be in
operation and within short time
after that a vast amount of the min
eral could be placed on the market.
These men state that the contract
to refund the money will be signeG
by all the mine owners.

ity moved to Texas where he was
married. He taught school for Il
number of years, but finally came to
Ardmore, where he entered the drug

not as well off in this worlds goods
as he justly deserves. He was the
first county clerk of Carter county

WOULD BUILD A
BRICK BOULEVARD
FROM SEATTLE TO THE GULF
OF MEXICO A HIGHWAY OF
WTRlFIED BRICK,

Houston, Texas, Dec. "A high
way of vitrified brick through
mountains and over prairies from Sc
attic, Wash, to the Gulf of Mexico
is the dream of a western organi-
zation headed by John Brisbane
Walker, founder of the Cosmopolitan
Magazine. At Denver actual work
on the highway is under way, the
state of Colorado having appropri
ated S1OOOO,0OO for the work. \
stretch of the road $50 miles in
length is being constructed south Of
Denver
Mr. Walker recently made a trip
through that part of Texas TO be
crossed by the proposed highway. 1t
is proposed to enter the highway into
Texas from Colorado near TeXline,
thence in a straight line south thru
Houston to the Gulf of Mexico. Har-
ris county of which Houston is the
county seat has already constructed
her part of the road, it being rep
resented in the 40 of the 400 miles
of bouleyards leading from all parts
of the county to Houston.
In support of the Seattle to-the-Gulf
highway movement Mr.. Walker has
prepared interesting figures which
show the relative cost of transporta-
tion by rail and by auto; also the
cost of railroad construction at 80
cents per tie and the cost of perma-
nent vitrified brick boulevard con-
struction.
Mr.. Walker believes the highway
will be built and in operation within
ten years.

-ass Raising 10 wasauea.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I wish TO Eixs
your readers my short sxpsEi.
ence in hog-raising since March.
1909.
La that month / bought q pair
oi Duroc pigs, and on August
the SOW iarrowed 7'pigs, which 4
sold for $50, Then on, April 2,
she mothered q litter OF 10 which
l sold for $5O.5O, and on Sept.
IA she brough forth IL pigs
lost three-of <Aich | sold 5 for
US, leaving four still on hand.
So rating them at the same prics
at which the others sold, thesow
paid me $131.50, and during
the same time the male paid me
$65.5O, making q total oi $197.
Then after feeding the two pa
rent hogs sixty days, feeding
them 29K bushels OF corn, | but
chered and weighed them and
the pair netted 785 pounds. The
lard, after being rendered out,
weighed 81 pounds.
My experience with the two
hogs was as follows: put them
in the pen on Nov. II, one weigh
ing 294 pound and the other
204 pounds. On Dec. II, ! weigh.
ed them again and one had gain
ed 81 pounds and the other
had gained lis. making a gain
of PIP pounds. During the next
thirty days they gained 2a0
pounds making q total gain of
422 pounds in sixty days, being
weighed the last time after they
had been killed and blead.
