Railroads and the Farms.

ton. according to the bureau of railway
economics. Tables submitted to prove
this contention indicate that during the
past decade mainline railroad trackage
has increased % per cent. the area of i'm
proved farms 10 per cent and the area
devoted to crops 10 per cent. Doubtless
these figures correctly portray the situa-
ton. But has not the railway develop
ment of the past ten years been largely a
catching up with increased farm produc-
ton? And is not the increase in farm
production steady and constant rela-
lively, whereas railway extension is

Heavy construction like railway building
obviously cannot be carried on piecemeal,
so as to preserve a constant uniform re-
lation to farm production, but must be
undertaken in sections. In other words,
increase of farm production is the result
of a continuing process whereas increase
in railway facilities is effected, neces-
sarily, by means of a series of projects.
Railway owners may be. depended on not
to make their extension projects so large
as to outrun farm production and other

wealth that is lying dormant, that
there is demand for it in the mar
kets. He stated that he would try to
interest some Atlanta people in the
railway project and might have more
to say to the Commercial Club later.
W. o. Smith stated that he was on
a trip merely to look at the country,
that he had been delighted with his
trip through Springer and Woodford,
the beauties of the country captured
him and he was like the boy in the
circus-he wanted to remain in one
spot and drink in the beauties of
the show.
President Foster stated that road
to the northwest could be built If
W. could figure that it would pay and
ha WAS inclined to believe it would.
There is lots of money in the world
seeking investment, he said and this
road can be built
Robert F. Scivally was present from
Springer He said the interurban had
been talked for two years or more,
that the people had gotten busy on
the Ringing road and gave a bonus
for road that did not mean nearly
as much to Ardmore as the interur-
ban wuu}d, the interurban, he said,
would make Ardmore a great trading
center, while the steam roads would
build up other towns and take away
the retail trade The country through
which the road will pass is the best
agricultural section of Carter county,
it would touch the best liquid asphalt
in the world at Woodford, the road
would reach great deposits of lime
stone, building stone, glass-sand and
there is enough zinc lying on the sur
face to say nothing of what is under
the earth to create wealth enough to
almost build the road The zinc is
worth nothing without transportation
"If Ardmore will give what it gave
to Ringing" said Mr.. Scivally, 81

Max Westheimer stated that many
Ardmore people would give more lib

ray fer year or so, but eventually

RESENTED AT MEETING OF ARD
MORE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

A fattering report made by the
Commercial Club in clearing itself Of
debt, thorough discussion of the
proposed interurban, the appointment
of a committee to investigate the
matter of trade extension by means
of prizes and the appointment of a
committee to investigate the chances
to obtain rural mail routes, and the
reading of letter from Mn Prince of
Marshall, Texas, on the proposed bas-
ket factory matter, were some of the
things done at the regular meeting
Thursday night at the county court
house. The attendance was good,
Springer and Woorford were repre-
sented in the meeting. A lively in
terest was taken in the proceedings
and the club is in most healthy con-
dition.
President Foster is making desper-
ate efforts to lift the club out of debt.
The majority Of those who contribut-
ed to the Missouri fund and to whom
the club over the amounts advanced
have agreed to donate these sums to
the club. The George H. Wyatt suit
against the club was referred to and
Max Mestheimer and B. A. Simpson
were appointed to Investigate the
merits of the Wyatt claim and to re-
port back to the club. Max West
heimer announced that with the con-
sent of those who helped him raise
the picnic money that the amount left
over would be placed into the treasury
Of the club. Mr.. Foster announced
that i'll his opinion the club would be
freed from debt of any kind during
the month of October.
]. T. Paschall and w. o. Smith from
Atlanta, Ca, were present at the club
meeting. Paschall said he was inter-
ested in seeing Carter County build

suggested by the Ardmoreite, that
railroads could be honestly organized,
and that the stock could be made to
pay a dividend 1t would require
three or four steam lines, in his opin-
ion to be worth as much as one inter
urban.
p. c. Dings stated that everybody
would like to see the road built, that
we would like to have a dozen roads
but we can get but one at time. He
said he would give something toward
every one that came. 81 will be one OF
ten said Mr.. Dings, ito so out and
get as much money for the inter-ur-
ban as the town gave for the Ringing
road In his opinion Springer and
Woodford should make the first move
and then pass up the matter to
Ardmore. He told Of the experiments
made by chemists with the Woodford
asphalt and said their verdict was
that it was the finest product of the
kind found in any state in the Union.
Mr.. Sciyally said at least one hon
est railroad could be built, that there
was no use giving promoter big
slice of the pie, he stated that the
land owners would give a rightof-way
and would take some of the stock.
At this point Mr.. Foster asked the
distance from Ardmore to Springer,
and then asked the distance from Lo
rena Park to Springer. While nothing
was said, the suggestion was left that
it was possible that the street car
line might be extended to that point.
The discussion closed with re.
quest that Mr.. Dorsett Carter who
had proposed to promote the road, be-
asked to visit Ardmore and to state
his proposition to the club.
ieorge NJ. Henley suggested the
trade promotion plan which was used
last year by the merchants He would
like to see Ardmore give away as
many as four wagons this year Mr..
Clemens who did much work on the
former proposition suggested some diff
ficulties and a committee composed
of George NJ. Henley, w. w. Clemens
and c. f. Ringer were appointed to
take hold of the matter and if they
saw a chance to put the deal on, they
were instructed to proceed with the
work without delay.
]. F. Easley was appointed to gather
an the information he could toward
the requirements and feasibility of
rural mail routes and to report back
TO the club.
Secretary West spoke briefly of the
agricultural exhibit he had prepared
for the State Fair and asked the Wis
itors to the club to look at the full
blood Indian exhibit which he said was
an improvement of one hundred per
cent over the exhibit of the Indians a
year ago.
President Foster read a letter from
Mr.. Prince who has been talking of
building a basket factory. rhe gen
tleman stated that he had out in ac-
counts $4,000 which he expected tC |
collect on the first of September. This |
amount of money he was forced to
carry over and this added to the |
stringency of the money market would |
make it impossible for him to fur
ther consider the building of the fac
tory at this time. The letter 'nti
