MORE THAN AN INCH.
Glorious Rainfall on the First Day OF
the Month.

One of the finest summer rains that
ever visited anywhere came this
morning and July begins with a very
fine season in the ground and with
all crops growing well. The precipi-
tation during the morning hours was
1.12 inches, which is five times as
much as fell the entire month last
July.
The rain did not come in torrents,
but fell rather fast for several hours
no wind came with it and a more de-
sirable rain could not have fallen.
All indications point to it as being a
general rain.
Much of the oat and wheat crops
are in the shock and dry weather VIII
be welcome from now until the mid
die of the month.
Corn will make fair crop with
out any more rain at all but Will not
make full crop. July promises to
be wet month. 1t may bring loss
to the grain growers but will make
big corn and potato crop.

NO ROADS AND
BRIDGES THIS YEAR
LEVY AS FIXED BY LEGISLATURE
INSUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN
COUNTY EXPENSES.

That there will be no roads ana
bridges constructed in Carter county
is the opinion of B. w. Duke, county
clerk. The levy for current expenses
of the county has been cut from 10
4 mills and with the present assess
ment this will give the county about
s4S,OOO for running expenses. This'
it is stated, is not enough to run the
countys business, according to the
statement of the county clerk it re-
quires something in the neighborhood
of $780, 900 to do tht business and con-
struct roads and bridges and keep
them in repair.
The board of county commissioners
will meet next Monday to make up
their estimates and the excise board
meets on the last Saturday in july
to make the levy.

COURSE MAY BE SPENT HERE
AND CREDIT TAKEN.

Another honor has come to Ard
more high school which will bo ap-
preciated by the people Of this section
of the state and especially by Ard
more. The state university has al
lowed students of the university to
take two years work in the Ardmore
high school and full credit for two
years will be given in the univer-
sity. For instance four years
course is required to obtain an A. b.
degree at the university. Instead of
attending this whole four years at
the university two years may be
spent with the school here.
The faculty Of the university must
of necessity have a great deal OF con-
fidence in the work done here or they
would not be willing to give pupils
a two-year credit for work done in
the city schools on a course in the
university. The thorough work done
here and the high class OF the faculty
accounts for the distinct honor which
has come to the city schools.

Sam Co., At PaWhuska.

known Monday that an indictment has
been returned by the federal grand
Jury here against the officials of the
Uncle Sam Oil company and Others

Usage country, was known to have

ment of the interior some time ago.

mored that when these names are
