 The German admiral felt that Ad- niral Deweys action was decidedly unfriendly. He sent his flag ieuten- ant, Won Hntze, to make a formal protest against the action of the Me- CuIlough in halting the German cruis- CT Irene in order to learn her identity. This, said the German Admiral, was the incident incorrectly attributed to the Cormoran by Admiral Dewey.
 The American Admiral retaliated with an announcements that no ship, comm erciaI or naval, would be allow ed to pass his lines and announced his intention of sending an officer on Board every Warshdp arriving in the bay to make inquiry and to estab- fish her identity. z

PLENTY OF WORK HERE FOR A
SHOP OF THIS CHARACTER.
BOILER AND SHEET METAL.

f. T. Davis and J. X Ferguson OF
FL Reno, have arrived in this city
and will establish a boiler and sheet
metal shop en- c street, S. T., be-
tween First and Second Avenues.
The two young men are practical
mechanics, and after looking over
the field concluded that this was a
good location for their business. They
will do boiler repair work at the oil
fields, and also sheet metal work such
as the construction of tanks, etc.
They experienced some difficulty in
securing a location for their plant,
and were compelled to accept their
present location as being the only
available one in town. They will be
ready for business within a few days.

BE this as it may, opportunity is
knocking at the doors of our city
today and within one year, il th@
people take advantage of the m
mense resources that are at our
door, the population of the city
will double and property values
will correspondingly be increased.
This is not going to be a boom.
Ardmore wants no booms, but it
will be a steady, substantial growth
backed by the immense resources OF
the county, that will make Ard
more city second to none in the
state.
With these facts confronting us,
The Arimoreite concluded to launch

willing to do things in a big way
when they have once been convinc-
ed that there is merit in the plans
proposed for the advancement of
the city. Yesterday afternoon, DR..
Hardy. owner of Ardmore's magnifi-
cent sanitarium, stated that he
wanted the outside world to know
that Arimore was we'll equipped to
take care of the sick and manned
and for that reason reserved 30

To ARRANGE FOR
PRESS CONVENTION
MEETING WILL BE HELD MON.
DAY NIGHT TO SELECT CON-
MITTEES. MAKE FINAL PLANS.

There will be a meeting of the bust
ness men and members of the news
paper fraternity at the Commercial
club rooms Monday night, for the pur-
pose of selecting committees to make
final arrangements for the annual
convention of the Oklahoma Press as
sociation that meets here next month.
Three attempts have already been
made to get people together on this
question and the secretary of the Com
mdrcial club stated yesterday that
this was to be the final call If he
could receive no encouragement in
this work, he would be compelled to
notify, Secretary Branson that the
convention would have to be trans
ferred to some other city.
Arrangements will also have to be
made fer the reception of Ebert Hub
bard, who has announced that he will
lecture here on the night of May 10.
This one feature will be hailed with
delight by the editors over the state
and Ardmore will make an effort to
make his visit memorable one.
The meeting at the Comdmrcial
club rooms Monday night, is called
promptly for S o'clock, and the secre-
tary hopes that people will heed this
final appeal and help make the visit
of the editors a grand success. The
advertising Ardmore and the oil fields
will get from their visit, could not be
bought with money, and it is up TO the
Commercial club and citizens to get
busy on this proposition.
