OPPOSES CAPITAL
REFERENDUM
INDIAN LEGISLATOR SAYS MEAS
URE CAN SERVE NO GOOD PUR-
POSE. AGAINST OKLA. CITY.

Tom w Hunter, member of the Ok
lahoma legislature from Choctaw coun
ty. was an Ardmore visitor Saturday.
In reference to the proposed referen-
DUN on the capitol bill, Mr.. Hunter
said Such action serves no good
purpose 1t delays the building of
the capitol and is adverse to the wish
es of the people, that bill was the
crowning act of the fourth legsla-
ture. The people want the troublous
question out of the way. 1t looks like
selfish motives have brought it before
the minds of the people again. 1t is
a move against locating the capitol
at Oklahoma City, and l am surprised
at the action taken by Representa-
tive ]. Il. Wyand of Muskogee.'
Representative Rexroat took about
the same view of the matter. Mr..
Rexroat believes the question will re-
ceive no encouragement from the
people as a whole and will receive the
support only of those towns that are
fighting Oklahoma City. Mr.. Rexroa.
said the capitol bill was a hard fought
measure, the people heard of it and
and were worried with it until they
wanted to get it off their hands. The
state officials are scattered all over
Oklahoma City. High rents are be-
ing paid for these offices and he feels
that the capitol bill should stand as
it was passed and let the commits
sioners proceed with the building Of
the state house.

Editor Ardmoreite:
If the city officials don't take steps
to prevent the congestion of Main
street in front of the picture shows
every night, it is only a question Of
time that someone will be, killed or
badly injured. 1t is not right to allow
street to be iammed as this street is
every night. 1t is often absolutely
impossible for vehicles to pass each
other on this street while the band
is playing at night, and l have been
forced to go to Broadway and to First
Avenue and twice | came very near
being run into by the street car and
a vehicle 1t will be too late to act
after some dear one is killed on this
street. Let the police act now and
stop this congestion of this street be-
fore it is too late. Keep the street
open at all times so vehicles can pass
each other in safety.

HOG MARKET
TOP OF MARKET ALWAYS Sc
CURED HERE BY BREEDERS.
MANY HOGS IN COUNTRY.

Saturday morning ]. K. Lyles OF
Fox was here with two loads of fat
hogs that were purchased by the cold
storage market. Mr.. Lyles arrived in
the city early and was experiencing
some difficulty in getting a bidder
when he called at the Commercial
Club, and the secretary got busy on
the phone, with the result that he
was soon in communication with
buyers. Mr.. Lyles stated that there
were a great many hogs in the coun-
ty this fall and the farmers as a
whole in his vicinity would have sew
eral to sell. He was pleased with
the arrangement of the Commercial
Club in acting as agent to secure the
best of the market and will tell the
fact to his neighbOrs. The an
nouncement of President Foster that q
special effort would be made to CO.
operate with the farmer seems to
work well, and as soon as it is gen
orally known throughout the county,
no doubt all the farmers will take ad-
vantage of it.

SENDS CHUNK OF
 ORE FROM VESUVIOUS
(From Sundays Daily)

In response to the appeal made by the Chamber of Commerce of this city to mining men of the county there was received yesterday from A. Humphrey at the Vesu- vius camp a chunk of ore that weighed 133 pounds.
 The sample comes from the bot tom of the shaft l05 feet deep, and is notable mineral production, carrying free gold values that reach to over $l50 per ton. The ore is a hematite of iron, and is attract i've for the reason that the property is maintaining its old-time reputa- tion as depth is being given.
 Mir. Humphrey is operating the property under a bond and lease, and when line of exploration out lined Is carried out he proposes 10 begin shipping to the smelter on a basis of regularity A few months ago the mine came into prominence  by the striking of ore that ranged close to $500 per ton, and the streak that carries this high grade is said to be still in evidence In the early days the Vesuvious from the grass
 roots produced equally as rich ores and quite an excitement and the consequent stampede to that country followed. The camp has settled down to a practical consid- eration and the operator states he will go ahead developing earnestly and quietly. He is actuated solely in sending the ore to benefit the neglected mining industry, so far as making the resources of the busi- ness known in public channels.

OUTSIDE HUNTER REAP
 ING BIG REWARD.
(From Fridays Daiiy)

Thomas s. Drew, a well known rangeman of Anvil Rock who is in the city. states that those recent arrivals from outside the State who are hunting the lion and wolf in that pool country, are meeting with sue cess. He mentions C. E. Chap man, particularly, saying that since getting into action with his fine field paraphernalia, Chapman is making money and capturing many animals. A big lobo wolf, a mountain lion, over fifty coyotes. as many wildcats, numberless skunks and other pests, have been caught, and with the hun ter located ill other sections, the good effect of the cleanup made is greatly appreciated by rangemen.
 Chapman understands the buSi- ness of hunting and trapping and has d zone of over fifteen miles long, which is sprinkled with traps and baited with chemical compound that proves irresistible to any animal whatever. The lion and wolf, par ticularly. cannot resist. after once the odor is inhaled, and in this manner they are easily caught and killed later Range dogs have re- peatedly been caught, and turned loose later.
 One feature of Chapman's pursuit was commended and given publicity to yesterday by Drew, who stated that the splendid work of this hunt- CT costs the county nothing in boun- ty payments for the pelts, d market being afforded him in the Eastern States for every character of a hide shipped. The Anvil Rock pool as sumcs the bounty on the lion and wolf, and up to date has paid out several hundred dollars.
