OUR OPPORTUNITY
ARDMORE ANSWERS
JOHN RINGlING, A MULTl-MIL-
LlONAIRE, WILL BUILD A ROAD
TO THE WEST FOR BONUS.

Ardmore has a proposition today
to secure the building Of steam
line of railroad west of this city
and to make connection with the
Rock Island at some point between
Chickasha on the north and Ryan on
the s0uta. The proposition is sub
mitted by j. l.. Hamon OF Lawton,
and he Is backed by John Ringing,
a multi millionaire showmah and a
way property.
A bonus is asked for calling for
100000 in money or lands, 5000
feet of right Of way for terminal
grounds in the city and for 25 miles
of right of way west from this city
also for a right of way leading east
out of the city so feet wide.
Mr. Ringing will be with his show
in Gainesville, Texas, on the 10th
OF this month and if the bonus is
subscribed he will come here at that
time and sign up the proper papers
with the committee representing the
citizens of Ardmore
Mr.. Ringing proposes to begin
construction work within sixty days
and to have the line completed to
a connection with the main line OF
the Rock Island west of here by the
30th of December 1913 None of
the bonus money is to be paid to the
company until the trains on the line
are running on regular time table.
The probable name Of the new
line will be the Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Pacific Railway Com
pany.
Mr. Hamon intimated that Law
ton would be asked for a similar
bonus, which indicates that the line
VIII be built from here to that city.
The ;act that an eastern outlet
out Of Ardmore is asked indicates
that a point on Red river will be
reached, which point will possibly
be Sherman, Texas
Following a meeting held at the
Commercial Club looms yesterday
afternoon committee of citizens
composed of Is. A. Simpson, John
McCarty and Judge Harreld, went
over the proposition with Mr.. Ha-
mon to ascertain what prices he
would allow on real estate and The
committee is Of the opinion ;hlt
Ardmore can meet the demands ot
the company.
To further consider the matter a
meeting was called at the court
house this morning at nine o'clock.
4 number of representative men
were at this meeting and much in
terest in the proposition was man
ifested. J. b. Moore was chosen
chairman. Judge Harreld reported

pointed to confer with Mr.. HamOn. |
He commented upon the tenacity of
Mr.. Hamon. who for the past eight
cen morths has worked increasingly |
to accomplish the building of a road |
between Ardmore and Lawton. He |
also spoke Of the ability of Mr.. |
Ringing to build the line, that the .
road was financed, that It had pass

opinion the terms OF the contract

COUNTY SEAT TROUBLES ON.
Boomers Trying to Have Meade and
Perkins Counties Reduced.

Aberdeen.-Western South Eakot;s
is facing the prospect of two very
lively county division contests within
the next few months. At Faith, the
boosters of that Meade county town
are waging an active campaign for
the division of Meade county into
three parts, and the consequent re-
placement on the map OF old DeiaHo
county, which was never organized,
and was merged with Meade county
a number of years ago. The Fait.s
people argue that Meade county.
which is now the largest county in
South Dakota, is too unwieldly for ef
fective administration of county af-
fairs, when some residents OF the
county have to travel more than 100
miles overland to reach Sturgis, the

stored Delano county, if the project
goes through, but it is not making

the agitation under way.

Milwaukee railroad and the most im-
portant town in the county, has not al
