NEW BUILDING
WILL ESTABLISH MARKET FOR
SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA pOTA.
TOES-BIGGER STOCK.

The most important work that can
be done for this section of Oklahoma
by the business men is to provide
a market for all surplus crops that
are raised. If the merchants had
raised the peach crop of last year it
would not have been wasted for want
Oi a market. If the merchants raised
| the surplus melons that are wasted
in this country every year market
would be found for them. If the mer-
chants owned the hundreds of bush
els of sweet and Irish potatoes which
this country produces every year a
market would be found for them. 1t
is just as important that the mer-
chant and the banker find a market
the farmer owns the products.
The enterprising firm of Swift and
Company will in measure solve the
problem as regards some OF the pro-
ducts. This company began today
to build forty-foot addition to their
property near the union depot. The
extra room is needed for handling a
new line of Libby, McNeal and Libby
canned goods and other lines Of well
known canned goods and the Swift
people will carry a much larger line
of products than they have carried
before and in addition to carrying this
line Of goods they will purchase the
potatoes grown in this section of the
state. While this company will Gre
ate a ready cash market for the Irish
and sweet potatoes they will not at
tempt to handle the cabbage crop and
the melon crop.
A. ]. Campbell, local manager for
the Swift people stated today that
his company would pay cash here
for the potatoes grown, that their |
building would be made much larger |
to accommodate the new trade de-
veloped and that the potatoes would |
be shipped to the McNeal and Libby |
canning plants in Chicago. If salts
factory prices can be arranged this
means much to the potato growers
Of the county who had been planning
to take car of their potatoes to Den
YER to be given away for the purpose
Of creating a market for them. 1t
means a great saving in expense of
the marketing period and provides
a market for every bushel that is
raised
The next important step is to Sc
cure a purchaser for the watermelons,
cabbages, berries and
grapes. If this is done the loss of
The fruit crop will not be felt so
leenly this year.

CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
WORK WILL BE AWARDED IN
MAY.

] L. Hamon, president of the Ok
lahoma, New Mexico and Pacific
Railway company, arrived in the city
this morning from Lawton and will
remain here until Thursday. He was
in conference the greater portion OF
the day with his chief engineer,
George w. Reeder. Mr.. Reeder has
rooms at the Wilmington hotel where
he is compiling his report of the
estimate of the cost of construction
work and will be kept at this work
until the first of May. Soon after
that time the company will advertise
for bids on the construction work.
Mr.. Hamon had no statements to
make except that the proposed line
would be built and that trains would
be running on schedule time between
Ardmore and a point on the Rock
Island main line by the 31st of De-
cember of this year.
Mr.. Hamon also called upon Chas.
Won Weise of the local right of way
committee and requested Mr.. Won
Neise to give the company possess
ion Of some land upon which a house
is located. The building will be re-
moved at once and the railway com

ROCK ISLAND RY.
PLANS Bic WORK
BRIDGE ACROSS THE SANTA FE
TRACKS IN ARDMORE TO HAVE
SOLID FOUNDATION.

The great trestle or bridge of the
Rock Island which passes over the
tracks of the Santa Fe in the north
ern portion of the city will be given
a foundation of solid earth. This
bridge is ninety feet high at the
| highest point and is several hundred
hundred yards in length. A work
train will be put on here within a
very short time and will be kept
busy until the work is done. The
earth foundation will be 100 feet or
more in width at the base and many
quired to finish the work. 1t will
require one train the entire summer
to complete the work. The earth used
in the work will be brought from
along the line of road east of Ard
more aid will be hauled for dis
tance of ten miles.
The trestle is in good condition
who was here yesterday from Meal
ester, states that there is something
in the atmosphere in Kansas. Okla
homa and Texas which causes timber
to decay very early and on account
of this condition the railway COM
pany will not trust the support OF
their tracks to the pillars of timber
which support it now. Mr. Van
Hecke also states that the Rock ISL
and is doing a great deal of work
now on its line from Haileyville to
Ardmore. Nearly every wooden bridge
has been removed and repleced with
either iron or cement. The Rock |
Island branch line will soon be in
as good condition as the main line
of the road between Shawnee and
McAlester.
The trainmaster tells also another
story of the work being
done by the Rock Island. The COM
pany has purchased so acres of land
near Shawnee that is underlaid with
gumbo. This product is a heavy
black dirt that is very rich and pro-
ductive and that makes when pre-
pared a fair material for ballasting. It
is not as good as gravel or as crushed
stone, but makes fair substitute and
lasts from five to nine years accord.
ing to the nature of the soil upon
which it is spread. The cost of pre-.
pairing gumbo is also very expensive.
Steam shovels are used to throw
dirt into windrows. First railway
tracks must be laid through the land
so the shovels can be operated from
he engines on these tracks. A layer
Of gumbo is laid in these rows, then
1 layer of slack coal and cast OF
'ailroad ties and layer after layer is
aid, then fire is set to the inflam-
nable material and it shoulders and
,urns for months. When the burn-
ng is completed the gumbo is re !
luced 10 crumbs of red shale or
rick and this product is spread up
n the tracks and used as a ballast. {
he Rock Island purchased at one
ime fifty thousand tons of slack :
oal from the mines and is hauling ,
his coal to the gumbo beds.

NETTING TO CIVIL WAR.

New York American: Hot-heads
among the British tories are showing
an amazing ignorance Of the first
principles of representative govern
ment in their fiery opposition to the
second passing of the Irish home rule
bill Over the veto of the fossilized
house of lords.
Further than that, in shipping rifles
and bayonets into Ulster. they are
playing with very dangerous fire.
The province of Ulster. including
the prosperous shipbuildins city OF
Belfast. contains about a third of the
population of Ireland. but these loud
orators who talk Of fighting for the
province and p%lunging Ireland into
civil war seem to overlook the fact
that the counties in the province of
Ulster return more Nationalist mem
hers to parliament than Unionfsts.
Even Of Relfast's FIVE members. one is
a Nationalist.
AS A matter Of fact, Ulster is pretty
evenly divided on this issue. which
a been the active hugbear Of British
politics for half a century. And now
that the United Kingdom is about at
last to give justice to ireland and take
a long forward step toward the best
ideals of popular government, it is
pitiable to find men like Sir Edward
Carson and the Ri. Hon. F.. F.. Smith
talking treason and acting treason,
stirring up religious and political ill
feeling and openly melting to a war
of secession.
In all probability the present home
rule bill will become law, and if the
British government then has to put
an army into Ireland and quell a re-
hellion in Ulster there will also have
to he a salutary reckoning with sew
eral eminent and noisy statesmen who
profess to prefer b%loodshed to the
methods Of true democracy.
