NO ACTION TAKEN|N
IMPEACHMENT CASE
Governor Has Not Received
Report Recommending
SingletOn's Removal


Montgomery, February Especial mo
action has yet been taken, SO far as mas
been ascertained looking to the impeach-
ment of Probate Judge E. A. Singleton
of Bullock county, as recommended in a
recent report of the grand jury of that
county.
This statement was made this morning
by both Governor O'Neal and Attorney
General Rolvrt c. BYickell either of
whom, with the report in his possession,
could take action in the case. The report
of the grand jury has not yet been re-
ceived by either Of these officials.
Under the law there are various steps
by which probate judge may be i'm
peached for neglect of DUTY. Incompetence
or for other causes. The grand jury may
submit its report to the governor, the
attorney general or to the supreme court,
or the solicitor of county may send
in the grand jury $ report. The governor
may then direct the attorney general to
institute Impeachment proceedings the at
torney general may institute them upon
his own volition, following the grand
jury's request, or the supreme court may
certify to the attorney general that it is
in possession of such a report, and ask
that custer proceedings be instituted.
In The absence of the report of the grand
jury, neither Governor ONeal nor At
torney General Brickell will take any ac-
tion i'll the matter. The report, accord
ing to accounts, charged Judge Single
ton with misappropration of the public
funds and recommended his impeachment
without returning an indictment.
Both Governor O'Neal and the attorney
general are waiting to see the report be-
fore taking any action, each. claiming
that the matter is at present outside Of
iils jurisdiction, though declaring that ac-
ton will be taken if the report shows that
the charges against the probate judge can
be sustained

IRON MINES WILL. BE
IN DEMAND SOON

Judge Charles M. Pond of
Minneapolis was in Salt Lake
City the first of the week, en-
route to Los Angeles. In con-
versation with a reporter in the
capital he said that he thought
Utah was one of the greatest
states in the union, and asked
many questions concerning its
transportation facilities. From
his conversation it appeared that
someone has been investigating
. the great iron ore deposits in
the southern part of the state,
and that it would not be many
years before something was
done by eastern capitalists to-
ward securing control of the
iron ore beds and the coal lands
adjoining them.
IF this section of the country
could produce pig iron," said
Judge Pond, 1T would rapidly
put the iron industry as far as
the Pacific slope is concerned
upon a better footing than it is
in the east. The iron ore and
the coal are found side by side,
understand, and the coal has
coke making qualities which
would give the blast furnaces
all the fuel which they needed.
"In my opinion. Utah is going
to become the great manufacture
ing state of the western part of
the United States because it has
coal. 1t is well enough to talk
of electricity, but there seems
to be a limit to its development
and cheapness, and the coming
generations do not need to
worry as long as you have the
coal which will make steam to
turn the wheels of factories.

CONSERVATION CON-
CRESS OPEN TO ALL

Washington, D. G. Nov. II.
The prospect of a fierce fight
on forestry at the National Con-
servation Congress, in Washing
ton. D. G. November 1920, has
brought requests from all parts
of the country for the privilege
of the floor of the convention.
The Congress has accepted the
challenge of tn Oregon Develop
ment League, one of the princi-
pal opponents of the Conserv-
alton policy, and has given a
place on It's program to one of
the big guns of the Oregon or
ganization. Fireworks are ex-
pected.
The-large number of requests
from opposing sides has caused
the Executive Committee of the
Congress to- throw down the
bars to all. For the first time
in the history of the Congress,
the committee has extended a
general invitation to the Con-
gress to everyone who is in
terested in Conservation and
forestry. Hundreds of organic
atoms, national, state and local,
have appointed delegates to the
congress. Scores of other or.
CARNATIONS who have not re-
ceived special invitations are
expected to appoint delegates
under the open door policy of
the Executive committee.

LOOKS LIKE MAD|LL
FRISCO DIVISION
ROAD BUILDING MAGNIFICENT
DEPOT IN MARSHALL COUNTY
CITY.

In speaking of the building of the
Ringing road westward from Ard
more and the operation Of Frisco
trains over that line indications now
paint strongly to the selection OF
Madill, twenty-five miles east of here,
as a division point. Madill is so
located that this would be a most
feasible location for a part OF Its
shops and for the beginning and end
ing of both freight and passenger
runs between that city and Hope, to
the eastward and Waurika to the
west. In addition, to this the north
and south line from Tulsa into Texas
crosses the Ardmore division at Ma
dill.
In the Marshall county city, We un-
derstand, the Frisco holds consider
able real estate, sufficiently ample
for all the yard room they will need
for years. The topography of the city
is such that yards may be put in
extensively with very little grading.
thus eliminating large Item of ex-
pense in installing them.
The Frisco people are now building
large passenger depot which, when
completed, will be one Of the finest
on any of it's lines in the state. 1t
is understood that the proportions
of the building are amply large
enough to accommodate large num-
Der of division offices, should Madill
really be made the division point,
and that the architectural pans
have been drawn to make such pro-
visions. Be that as it may-it is
fact that large steam shovel is
working near the city to the west
and dirt is being transported now to
Madill and being used in the matter
OF building more sidetrack room.
In our humble opinion the Ringing
road is to be built, the Frisco will
at the very least-have an operating
agreement over it, and if Ardmore |
does not get pretty tolerable busy, |
Madill is liable to beat her to it ia
the matter of a division, if in fact,
she has not already done so.
