TOWNS|TE CO.
BEGINS OPERATIONS
COMPANY WILL DO MUCH TO
ADVERTISE ARDMoRe TO OUT
SIDE WORLD.

Wiley W. Lowry, president OF the
Western Land company, arrived here
YESTERDAY and was Joined later by
his three statesmen, Elmer S. Wood,
Fox Wood and NJ. h. Stanley, and
THAT Man Stone" who is his pho
tographer.
Mr.. Lowrey is the owner of the
addition plated south of the b. M.
Bynum home, northwest of Ardmore,
and out of which several lots have
already been sold This is the com
pany with which our own townsman,
Roy Alexander was associated with
in the promotion of the town of
Dustin and in the sale of other prop
critics in Oklahoma.
These men went out in autos to-
day to look over the county, they
will visit the oil fields this week
ard will spend several days here.
The photographer will take views
of the town and surrounding cOun-
try and it is probable that the com
pany will establish Offices here and
begin the sale of the lots in their
addition.
Should they decide to begin oper-
ations now it will mean that vast
deal of advertising will be sent out
from this city. This company spends
a large sum in printers ink and
has one of the best corps of sales
men in the United States. At this
time, when there is a demand for
more homes in Ardmore, it is likely
that the proposition will appeal to
them to put their sale on at this
time.

Delinquent Auto Owners.

Col. Sidney Suggs returned from
Oklahoma City last night to spend
the Sabbath with his family here.

suits were instituted against the
owners of automobiles in Oklahoma
City last week for failure to pay
the dollar tax required for the state
for the benefit of good roads. In
speaking of the matter Col. Suggs
states that it will be well for local
owners to take warning by the ex-

and pay the tax before they become
delinquent, and are compelled to pay
three times the amount of the Ii
cense in court cost.

ALASKA COAL pIsAPPolNTs
Bering River Fuel Fails to Meet Re-
auirements Of Navy.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Preliminary
tests of Alaskan coal from the Ber-
ing river district have been very dis
couraging to officials who hoped they
might develop a new fuel supply for
the navy. Rear Admiral Griffin, in
charge of the investigation, has re.
ported to the house naval affairs
committee that the Bering river coal
tested so far has fallen so far under
expectations in practical use as to be
of no value, but from the Matanuska
fields, and other sections of the Ber-
ing district from which coal is yet
to be tested, the navy is hoping for
better results.
Chemical tests of the Bering river
coal indicated that it contained a
higher efficiency of thermal units
than the Pocahontas coal of West Vir-
ginia, but when put to firing tests in
the navy, notably aboard the cruiser
Maryland, it developed only 43 per
cent of the same efficiency and caused
a great deal of trouble. 1t made i'm
mense clinkers, which clogged the
furnaces and covered the crate bars
with a molten substance like tar that
