FRISCO MAN WAS
SOMEWHAT PEEVED
THINKS MR.. GRAHAM SHOULD
HAVE MET HIM HERE - WILL
HAVE LARGER FARM.

F. s. White, agricultural agent for
Frisco, arrived here last night in his
special agricultural and horticultural
Ger and left at noon. The rirst stop
after leaving here will be at Madlll
and from there he will go direct to
Saint Louis.
The Frisco has operated a series
of demonstration farms along us
line OF road during the past year.
The road is spending a largesum OF
money to contribute toward the I'M
proyement of The methods of agr-
culture and if the results are what
they expect they will spend more
from year to year. Mr.. White wants
fifteen acres this year instead OF
ten acres which he used last year.
He was greatly disappointed upon his
arrival here for the reason that A
G. Graham, who had charge of the
farm was not here to confer with
him. He also stated that Mr.. era
ham had made no reports during
the year and he considered that the
Frisco had spent about $1,000 here
for which they did not feel they had
received their moneys worth. The
same conditions prevailed at Madill
The man there who had charge OF
the demonstration farm was absent
when he visited that city. Mr.. White
wants to get someone here to take
charge of the farm and make prompt
reports.
He was somewhat peeved and took
occasion to say that Oklahoma made
great boasts of what it was doing
in an agricultural way but that Ar
kansas had won the Frisco prize this
year and the tomato prize to the
girls which the same road offered
had been won by an Arkansas girl.
Mr.. White and several Ardmore
men went to the country early this
morning to look over the demonstra-
tion farm and to select place of
land to be used next year.

COTTON SPECIAL TO GALVESTON
Shipments Will Reach Gulf Waters
Within 80 Hours.

The Santa Fe is preparing to run a
special cotton train from Oklahoma
to the Gulf. When the plans are
matured Ardmore cotton will be in
Galveston 80 hours after it leaves the
compress here. Such a train is now
run from Cleburne, Texas, to Gal
weston and the road plans to extend
the service to Ardmore. After the SER
vice is perfected to this point it VIII
be extended to Purcell and Shawnee.
A. Landry, assistant general freight
agent of Fort Worth, and H. d. Butts,
transportation inspector of Galveston,
were here today comforting with the
cotton men and making preparations
to extend the fasi cotton train to Ard
more. They were pleased with the
encouragement received here and will

RAILWAY BUILDING AND AROM0RE;;
CLOSE OF 1912 A BUSY ERA

The closing months of the year OF
grace, 1912, promises 10 be one OF
considerable activity in railway cir
cles so far as Ardmore is concerned
The Jake Hamon" road which has
been promised from this city west
ward will ultimately be built-of
this there can be but small doubt.
Whether or not great activity will
be marked upon this road during
the last months of this year no one
is prepared to state, but it is a well
known fact that the road has been
pushed along the preliminary stages
and the current rumor in and around
Lawton has it that the financing of
the enterprise is now practically
assure.
The proposed belt line-the Ard
more & Western-will be built. Real
work will begin on this line within
the next ninety days. Already the
engineering corps is in the field
and rapid progress is being made
in the matter OF permanently locat-
ing the line. The officers of this
road are all home people. Every
citizen, man, woman, and child in
Ardmore knows the men who are
at the head of the venture and they
know them all for what they are
good, honest, shrewd business men,
men who have succeeded in every
thing they have ever attempted and
me whose words are as good as
their bonds.

VOLUNTEER CLUBS
FOR ROAD WORK
GEORGE MYERS SUGGESTS PLAN
FOR ORGANIZATION AND CO.
OPERATION.

Carter county is fully aroused to
the importance of good roads and
some active work along this line may
be expected. George Myers of the
Ramsey Drug Store in speaking of the
movement said, II for one want to see
some roads built in this county. The
pay roll OF the oil fields ought to be
spent in Ardmore, and VIII n a good
road is built to that section the men
in the fields will come here to do
their trading. | know of instances
where farmers haul cotton six or eight
miles to gins, when if proper work
was done in opening roads two or
three miles would be all the distance
necessary to travel. | have a plan
mapped out to obtain these roads, and
that is to organize Volunteer Road
Building Clubs. Each member in
such club would agree to either
work himself so many days or con-
tribute enough money to hire some
one to work for him. If such clubs
were organized in every section in
every portion of the county each man
would contribute his work on a piece
of road that he is interested in and
the result would soon De ,aat good
roads would reach every portion of
the county"
Mr.. Myers has been talking the ne
cessity for good roads for some time.
On a trip to the county two weeks
ago he found some work that needed
badly to be done. He called several
farmers together and pointed out the
needed work and he gave them s16
toward the construction work. The
farmers contributed their part and a
new line of road was opened up which
saves their teams many miles of
travel during a year and saves the
farmers many hours of time.

CONDITIONS IN
JOHNSTON COUNTY
FINE CROPS IN THE WASHlTA
vALLEY-BANkER TO SUPPLY
COUNTRY WITH HOGS.

Eugene Wolverton of the Manns-
Vile State Bank, was in the city to-
day on business. In speaking of con-
ditions in Johnston county he says the
courts are engaged in trying a $4,000
criminal case for them but that the
country is in very fair condition.
Along the bottoms of the Washita the
crops are very fine. Corn in all Sec
tions of the country is making a bet
ter yield than the farmers thought
they were making. Cotton is making
all the way from three-fourths of a
bale to the acre to one fifth OF a bale.
The poor crops were caused by the
ravages of the worms but the pests
attacked only small portion of the
acreage. The country has more feed
crops than it ever had before in any
year. Hogs are scarce but the bank
ers at Mannsville are purchasing
stock hogs and distributing them
among the farmers so that handicap
will be removed.
Real estate is moving slowly in
Johnston county, but many inquiries
are being received for lands and it is
expected that many new farmers will
be there before the first of the year
and the real estate market will be-
come more active.
Mr.. Wolverton says call money in
New York is easy ami that the nation
al election has produced no stagnant
conditions this year compared with
what it usually produces and as soon
as the corn crop failure of last year
is overcome this country will be In
better shape than ever before. He
believes the farmers of Johnston
county will be in as good shape on
the first day of January as they have
been on that date for several years.

Traversing as it will some of the

As a developer of the western sec

this road will have been built there

ed to this section by the ready

The thinking citizens and business
men of Ardmore are beginning to
wake up to a realization of the ben
efits that will accrue to every one
of them from this road and the

have to look far for those who will
listen attentively to their song that

MARKET SQUARE
GREATLY NEEDED
ITS BENEFITS FAR REACHING TO
BOTH BUYER AND SELLER AND
WOULD BE PAYING DEAL.

In another column of today's issue
of the Adrmoreite will be found let
ter from Mr.. A. F. Jones OF Phoenix,
Arizona, commenting upon the article
which appeared in the Ardmoreite, is
sue September II, advocating a mar
ket place for this city. Mr.. Jones was
for years a resident Of this city and
one of the many successful business
men while here.
There are any places now vacant
which are off of Main street, but
which are in close touch with this
principal thoroughfare, which could
be secured on yearly lease at nom
inal rental. Let the people once find
out that there is market square, or
a house, or even a series of sheds
where they will be able to go daily and
find stalls filled with vegetables, or
wagons backed up to the curbstone
loaded with table necessaries and
they will soon get the market habit"
The market pace will also prove of
great advantage to the grocer who
has daily trade calling for fresh
vegetables as he will know right
where to go for his potatoes, his on
ions, his lettuce-in fact, for anything
for which he may have call through
out the course of the day.
The Ardmoreite ventures the as
sertion that there is not a town of
half the size in the state which has
not this great public convenience. 1t
is all well to say that the stranger
coming to the city will be able the
better to judge of the great variety
of products that our soil produces
when he can walk upon the main
business streets of the city and see
wagons by the score loaded with
farm and garden stuffs. He can draw
far better idea if We have a GER
tain place where the stranger can go
and see all these wagons congregated
and with everything grown on the
farm and in the garden from corn and
alfalfa to onions and radishes.
In addition to this the streets will
be kept clean and sanitary and corn
husks will not be left to blow from
corner to corner at the will of the
wind, while watermelon rinds repose
on the curbstones to become places of
abode for millions of flies.
There are numerous places which
could, at merely nominal cost, be
converted into this use One market
square would be all that would need
ed. There is large and commodious
building on Washington street. di-
ricetly opposite the city hall which
now stands vacant and which might
be gotten for this purpose, another
suitable place may be found close in
on A street, northeast another which
might be used is the vacant prop
erty on the corner of Broadway and
street, and still another
at the corner OF broadway and G
northwest. In fact, there will
be found no scarcity of suitable
that will be found to be
necessary will be to get someone-the
Commercial Club or some private in
dividual, to take hold of the matter
and push it along.
The Ardmoreite ventures the asser-
tion that should this matter be taken
up and pushed through that it will
prove a success from the start and
before a month passes the people of
Ardmore will wonder how they have |
done so long without this great mod
ern convenience
