IS BRIGHT
FOR RAIL ROADS
Ivy L. Lee Points Out Values of
Recent Decisions at Wash
ington, D. c.

In an address before the Williams
port Board of Trade last night, Ivy L.
Lee. executive assistant to Samuel Rea
president of the Pennsylvania railroad,
predicted prosperous future for rail-
roads of the United States. George d.
Ogden, general freight agent, who
spoke, called attention to opportuni-
ties for American industries in foreign
trade. Mr.. Lee said in part:
The chief value of the recent de-
cision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission permitting advances in
freight rates is it's moral effect. II is
estimated that this decision will mean
an increase of about $30,000,000 per
annum in the revenues of the railroads
affected. These thirty-five systems
during the four years ended June so,
1914, had added 5000, 900 to theiI
property investment and yet in 1914
their net earnings were less by 500,
10000 than they were In 1910, before
this huge investment had been made
Yet during the past four months
there have occurred four events OF
great moral Importance to the rail-
roads:
Il. The letter President Wilson SEM

said:

pie have been steadily adding to the

New York, May 2O.-Gradually the
truth regarding the polo situation in
England is becoming known on this
side of the Atlantic through letters
received by persons interested in the
sport from the American view point.
Even the Britishers themselves are
willing to acknowledge that much of
the trouble in England is due to
petty jealousy and for that reason it
is doubted that the American players
will have as opponents the strongest
team that is possible to get together.
To quote Lord Wimbourne himself,
England will always be handicapped
in the attempt to remove the interna-
tional polo trophy until it is contested
for on a national basis, with cooper
alton from all instead of sending out
a team that is not the strongest "
Thus it would seem that class plays
its part even in lifting international
prizes.

friends He attended the State Bank

the temptation to run down and spend
a while with the boys. Mr.. Richardson
left here almost two years ago and
since being at Altus he has made
success of the banking business, but
his friends here never doubted that
he would make friends and do a good
business in his new location. He was
in the same business here for several
wears before going to Altus, and no
banker in this city ever had more
friends than he. Since he has been
back, here on this visit, he has had
several proposition made him to come
back either on a salary proposition
or to organize a new bank. He is,
however located in one of the best
towns in the state, great fields of
waving grain surround the town of
Altus. he has good paying bank,
feels that he is doing a useful work,
his family are well and happy in their
new home, and the chances are rath.
er remote to induce him to come
back. In speaking of Ardmore, Mr..
Richardson said the town was very
different to what it was when he left
it, The oil fields, the new people, the
new business enterprises, all have
combined to make Ardmore many
times better, and he says he never
saw happier people than those who
live here He rejoices with Ardmore
in her prosperity. He will leave this
