railroad contractors, and as a result
the highway is constructed along
the same lines as the roadbed of a
railway. But before the road was COM
pleted, it was ascertained that instead

needed for the construction. Go

money will be ready when you want
it," and it is ready,
Then the people said; 1--WE should
have the streets of the city oiled.
There is no use of having dusty
streets, with a mammoth oil field only
few miles away" And the thing
was done. The Chamber of Com
merce employed a man with a team
and sprink kler-wagon and arrange
nents were made to get crude oil
from the producers for the work. To
day the business streets of Ringing
are well oiled, and as rapidly as pos
sible this improvement will be ex-
tended to the residence streets.
In this manner does the Ringing
Chamber of Commerce do things At
its head is John p. Logan, who finds
out what is wanted and then helps
put it across. The people are pulling

Now After Rural Routes.
A campaign has been started, dur
ing the past week, to have several
rural mail routes established from
this point Recently the representa-
tiyes of the postcffice department at
Washington have been here, visiting
with Col Hamon, to make arrange
ments for the Ringing railroad to
carry the mails This will be ac-
ccmplished, it is understood, in the
very near future. Ringing has been
designated as a postoffice town, and
Mr.. Dunlap-the first man to do a
mercantile business in Ringling-has
been named postmaster. This is the
announcement that comes from Con
gressman Scott Ferris.
The people, living in both the
Healdton and Loco oil fields, are ask
ing for rural mail delivery out of
Ringing because of the good roads
between this city and the oil fields.
The people west of Atlee and extend
ing into the Last Chance community,
also want rural route from Ring
ling. AS result a good road is
being built in that direction, includ-
ing bridge over Mud creek The
third rural route being planned is
one directly south from this city.
Becoming Industrial Point.
Ringing is Fast becoming an in
drstrial center. In addition to being
the business point for the oil fields,
it is rapidly securing various indus
tries-the kind that bespeak perma-
nency. Cotton gins are being in
stalled and a cotton oil mill IS to be
built, while there are numerous lum-
Der yards and the oil supply houses
have purchased sites here. During
the past week too, representative
of the Ardmore Milling company were
here to make arrangements for the
erection of a grain elevator at this
point. The crops in this locality are
With such an abundance OF natural
gas, SO close to. Ringing, it is, ah-.
solutely certain that many manufac-
turing concerns will locate here. Al
ready several are knocking at our
doors. The construction of a gas pipe |
line from the field is to be started in
the near future by Col. Hamon and /
his associates. and it is understood, |
too, that they will also install an |
electric plant before winter sets in. |
Another company is also planning to
put in waterworks plant. There i;
an abundance of excellent water to be
found in this locality and at a depth |

One thing that Ringing does need

state is there such an opportunity for
