ARDMORE. WESTERN
SURE TO Be BUILT.
SECRETARY WHITE OF THAT
COMPANY UNcoMMUNIcATIvE,
BUT WEARS KNOWING SMILE.

After all the railroad talk which
has gone the rounds of the press en-
mating from this section, it now
seel Is that the building of one, at
least, of these roads is practically
assured
The Ardmore G Western, a pro
iected read whose officers ard boz, :.
of directors are composed of Ard
more business men, seems now reas-
Onably sure of Being built. Col. r.
A. White, secretary of this road, re-
turned to Arlmore last night af er
an absence of almo four weeks in
eastern cities, where. rumor says, he
has been in consultation with "the
powers that be" over the matter of
financing the road.
When seen at the company's offices
by an Ardmoreite reporter this morn
ing Col. White was very non-com-
municatlve. To all answers to ques-
tons relative to the object of his
visit to the east and the results
thereof the reply was ever the same
that there was nothing to be said
Just at present. When asked II the
road wouldo would not be built
the colonel said that while he would
not deviate from his determination
to divulee none OF the business of
the company yet the prospects for
the earlier commencement OF the
work was very bright. 'In fact" said
Colonel White. - am most optimist-
ic, and not without good foundation
for my optimism, that the prospects
for the early beginning OF work on
the Ardmore & Western are very
flattering." More than this the col
onel would not say.
Visits to President Owens and
General Attorney Kendrick OF the
road failed to bring forth anything
further, although the general air o.
optimism which lowered about both
these gentlemen. together with the
smile which won't come off," give !
A decided touch OF reality to the |
road.

TWO FIRE ALARMS ARE
 TURNED IN OGETfR
Haystack at Sixth Avenue and Buch- anan and False Alarm Turned
 In By Phone

Just as the fire department was leaving the fire station yesterday aft ernoOn in answer to an alarm sent in from the corner of Sixth avenue and Buchanan street another alarm was sent in over the phone calling the department to a house in the 600 block on North Third street. The engine team was ordered unhitched and they were harnessed to an old hose wagon kept in the rear of the police patrol wagon.
 This all took time, and by the time that the old wagon reached the scene of the alarm they could find no trace of either the fire or the person who sent in the alarm. The false alarms that have been sent in during the past few months have done more to cripple the fire teams than all the real fires of the present year, and it is likely to go hard with any person caught giving a false alarm. The need of d duplicate set of fire fight ing apparatus was demonstrated yes terday in a most forceful way, for if either of the fires had been at all serious the department would have been put to great disadvantage.
 The fire at the corner of Sixth avenue and Buchanan was a tedious one and the fire laddies were serious ly inconVenionced by the dense smoke that arose from a burning hay stack. After a stubborn fight the flames were subdued and the whole pile was well wetted to avoid the fire breaking out again.
 When the firemen were answering the alarm the team swung wide in making the turn into Jefferson street at the corner of First and the hose wagon collided with a farm wagon dSawn up outside the Pratt Gilbert store with disastrous results to the farmers wagon. There is a city or dinance prohibiting wagons and bug gies standing at that corner and the police officers received orders yes terday to see that it is strictly en- forced in the future.
 The horses of the fire department have hardly recovered yet from the long run that they had on Friday morning when they were driven near ly two miles to answer an alarm at the corner of Twenty-secod avenue and Jefferson street.

PROMISING YOUTH
 CLAIMED BY DEATH
Robert M. Martinez Passed Away
 Yesterday Morning.

Robert NJ. Martinez, eighteen years of age, son of J. A. C. Martinez, died yesterday morning at 8:30 at the PhOe- nix Rest Home, of tuberculosis. The funeral under the direction of Easter ling & Whitney will take place at the Catholic church on Wednesday morn ing at eight o'clock. Interment will be in the Catholic cemetery.
 Notwithstanding his youth the young man had displayed a great deal of tal- ent as a mechanic and he attracted the attention of the mana cement of the Curtiss aeroplane factory at Los Ange- les which secured his service. He had moreover. taken an interest in avia- tiOn, was a WellknOwn figure on Do minguez field and frequently accom- panied the pilots aloft.
 About a year ago he suffered an at tack of typhoid pneumonia resulting in an affection of the lungs. His condi- tion became such about six months ago that his father brought him to Phoenix hoping that this climate might benefit him. He was an only son.
 Los Angeles papers are requested to copy announcement of his death.

JUMPING OA MOSES REPUTATION AS LEADER
CoIored Preacher Says Lawgiver Had
 Ignorant People to Lead

That Moses had an ignorant race of people to lead, and that it was doubtful if he led the children of Israel any more successfully than do a number of poor preachers their ignorant flocks of the present day, was the rather remarkable contention made by Rev. $. L. Lowell, presiding leader of the A. M. E. church. at the session of the colOred Forum yes terday afternoon, when the topic, Moses as a Leader" was under dis cussion.
 His was not the only speech of the afternoon however. H Greene led off with paper upon that topic, and he was followed by Rev. J. B. Bell, who was formerly stationed here and has just returned. z. z. Johnson, pastor of the C. M. E. church, where the meeting was held, also made a few remarks.
 A number of smaller things of in terest were also attended to, among which were taking d collection to aid a distressed female member of the race, and the decision on the part of the body to attend the church mid day dinner at the church next Sun day.
