en- correcD that We can deliver the
power over electric wires cheaper
than The power can be hauled by
mules, and if we can prove this we
believe that the citizenship of Ard.

First-We are the largest taxpay-
ers in Ardmore with possibly one or
two exceptions.
Second-tWle are by far the larg st

Third-Our account for fuel VITA

when by burning coal (Which is the
largest item in pumping) the money
all goes to the coal mine and the
railway company, while our money is
distributed to the Gas company as
mentioned before, and to our employ
es, the major part of which is spent
with the merchants in Ardmore by
the employees of the Ardmore Ice.
Light & Power company and the City
Gas company.
The pumping of water must contin-
lie indefinitely in Ardmore and it is
but fair that the citizenship of Ard
more have an unbiased test as to the
real cost of pumping.
In this connection it might be of
benefit to the citizenship to know
that portions OF the coal and freight
for the pumping station at Caddo were
paid out of the Water Bond fund of
1912, which bonds were voted to build
waterworks and not to operate them
Voucher No. $50 and 5,571 Water

into standpipe from Caddo. .O4S cents.
1t will be remembered that the
Caddo plant is one and a half miles
further from the city than the city
lake plant and the pressure to over
come is greater, as the pressure guage
at the former plant stands, when
pumping into the standpipe, at loO
pounds, while at the latter plant the
guage shows 100 pounds, being a dif-
ference of so pounds pressure or so
per cent, showing that a plant at the
city lake of equal and similar effic-
iency, could deliver water into the
standpipe at .024 cents per thousand
gallons (using the test just made as
basis)
The plant at Caddo stood the test
admirably and is in prime condition
and | am satisfied that when the en-
gneer there becomes thoroughly con-
versant with conditions to be met
with in regularly pumping into the
city standpipe, the cost of the water
per thousand gallons will be at least
l per cent per thousand gallons les
than shown in the test, as he had no
previous knowledge or experience
with conditions to be met having
pumped into the lake continually be-
fore.
On Friday the 25th Of April, high
pressure test was made on the mains
in the city of Ardmore at the corner
of Main and Washington streets for
fire service from the Caddo plant,
first with one pump and then with
both pumps and the result was very
satisfactory, one pump maintaining
four streams of water at 40 pounds
pressure and both pumps maintaining
four streams Of water at so pounds
pressure.

Editor Ardmoreite:
We notice in your issue of April 80,
1918, report addressed to the mayor
and board of commissioners of the
city of Ardmore, purported to be re-
port Of the seven days test for pump
ing water from the new Caddo water
works station to the standpipe, which
was as follows:
REPORT.
TO THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS, CITY OF ARD
MORE, OKLAHOMA.
Gentlemen:
For some time past the matter OF
pumping water into the city from
the Caddo pumping station has been
discussed, as all are anxious to know
the cost per thousand gallons from
that point because of the fact that
the city's pumping contract with the
Ardmore Ice, Light and Power COM
pany from the city lake expires May
6, 1913. Accordingly on April II, 1913
the test began at Caddo and contin-
ued until midnight of the 23rd inst,
being Z days in all. A complete rec
ord of all coal used and water pump
ed was made daily, coal being weigh
ed and water measured by the strokes
of the pump by the revolution coun-
ter attached to each pump. The fol
lowing is the record:

FORKS OF TREES.
They Stay Where They Develop and
Never Grow Any Higher.

Some people through careless OBJ
servation believe that the fork Of a
forest tree will gradually grow higher
from the ground, II they would in
vestigate it would be found that the
forks and "heads" Of fruit trees are at
exactly the same point where they
were when first noted.
The state forester in inspecting To-
Gust and catalpa groves throughout
the state has found owners who have
not removed one part of the fork OF
those trees that have formed forks
below the rencepost length. believing
that in years the fork would grow up
and a fencepost could be cut below
the fork. This erroneous belief is the
cause of so much of the delay and neg
lect of pruning in early life Of street
and roadside trees.
1t should be remembered that the
base of a fork or a branch of a tree
will always remain at the same dis,
lance above the ground. The side
branches OF some trees, such as the
elm, usually continue to grow upward,
while those Of other trees. such as the
NAPLES, incline upward when young,
and as the tree grows older the weight
of the branches gradually brings it tc
the horizontal The latter often makes
the removal of large branches neces-
sary, which not only spoils the sym.
metry Of the tree. but usually starts
decay, which soon kills the tree.-In.
