The accounting side of the d. u. d.
appraisal which is being made for the
street car board will show both the
original cost of the companys prop
erty and the financial history OF the
company according to Andrew Sang
ster, in charge OF the work This
part OF the appraisal was begun only
this week
I'VE have a group of men working
now on each division of the account
ing Investigations, said Mr.. Sang
ster. Those looking after the cost
of the system will check up the book
entries of costs by means Of vouch-
ers and all other records available,
together with information which we
are collecting relative to the market
prices OF all kinds OF materials used
at the various dates when additions
to the system have been made.
"Our task is TO show on the one
hand how funds have been received
by the company both in the way of
the sale OF stocks and bonds, and in
receipts from operation, and on the
other hand how the disposition of
these funds has been accounted for
We gather the facts and present
them TO the director for use in max
ing the final Judgment as TO the
value of the property. For instance
If there has been a large allowance
made for organization expenses. we
find out and state what IL has been.
That does not mean, however, that II
necessarily will be allowed
"In figuring the original cost We do
just exactly that and nothing more.
We find out OF course, what allow
ances the company has made on It's
books for depreciation, but all ques-
tions as TO what should have been
allowed are left 10 the director"

QUESTION Of
PAYING BONUS
WILL BE DISCUSSED AT THE CON-
MERClAl CLUB ROOMS TO-
NIGHT.

1t is especially urged, by the bonus
committee of the Ringing railroad
that every subscriber to this fund be
at the meeting called for tonight at
the rooms of the Commercial Club, in
order to determine whether the sub
scribers are obligated to pay the re-
mainder of the bonus subscribed If
the terminus of the Ringing road is
established at Ringing, instead OF
building on to the Rock Island X. X,
as first agreed upon. There are many
in this city who hope that the road
stops permanently at Ringing. They
aver that it would be better for Ard
more from a commercial standpoint,
and besides they would not be re-
quired to pay the balance of the bo-
nus. The Ringing interests, it is un'
derstood, are willing to relinquish a
part of the bonus money, if Ardmore
will not insist on their building TO
the Rock Island this year, and 1t is
talked today that there will be little
trouble in coming to an agreement
when the railroad people and the Do'
nus committee enter into conference

ANNEX TO HOME
NEARLY FINISHED
MAGNIFICENT STRUCTURE WAS
ERECTED FOR CONVENIENCE
OF OLD SOLDIERS.

The annex to the Confederate
Home, which has heen under con
struction for the past eight months
but which has suffered many delays
on account of had weather and in
ability to get material on the
ground, is rapidly nearing compile
ton and will be ready for occu-
pancy within thirty days.
This annex is OF concrete and
pressed brick, absolutely tireproof
and is an ornamental structure TO
the already magnificent grounds.
The present quarters have been
inadequate for some time, and the
additional room will 90 far toward
relieving the troubles of the super.
intendent.
The old soldiers are taking great
pride in their garden this year, and
the grounds about the place pre-
sent the appearance of well kept
park. Superintendent Gait has the
finest young orchard in this section
at the home, and the trees are well
kept, and while it is expected that
the fruit crop will be very light,
if there is any at all, the orchard
itself is a thing of beauty about the
grounds.

LOCAL BANKERS
MAKING CANT PA|CN
EFFORTS BEING MADE TO HAVE
ARDMoRE NAMED AS BRANCH
REGIONAL BANK.

Fred II. Carr, assistant cashier OF
the State National bank of this city,
has prepared a letter which has
been signed by the officials of the
different banks of the city and sent
10 each bank in the southern por-
ton of the state, asking support
for Ardmore as a candidate for the
branch regional bank. The letter
sets out that the bank in Dallas
will locate a branch somewhere in
its territory, and then the letter
sets out that Ardmore is locates
l35 miles from Dallas, that it is
midway between Oklahoma City and
Fort Worth, where the big packing
houses are located, that the city
has a direct outlet to Galveston,
that it is an important agricultural
and live stock center, that its Oil
and mineral industries are among
the most important in the state;
that il is the commercial and finan-
cial center of q vast area OF rich
country, and postal cards a'e in
closed, inviting the bankers to make
expression of their choice for the
location of the branch regional bank.
The letter is one of the best ever
gotten up, giving the advantages OF
Ardmore and the assertions scrupu-
lousy adhered to the truth, which
is the strength of the letter.

LuNsFORD DESCRIBES OIL FiELS
"Colo~ed Lights and SLOW Music"
Needed, He Says.

Oklahoma City, CEla., April -. -
There is much interest in the oil and
gas fields of Oklahoml even in other
states. The governor recently receiV-
ed a letter from banker in a distant
state, in which he asked for miorma-
ton as to the 'ganecOgis." survey
of Pawnee County foI oil AMI gas and
for a great deal Il o'he: information
with respect to the country there
abouts. The letter VAS referred to
r. L. Lunsford, oil and gas expert OF
the school land commission. Mr.. Luns-
ford wrote two pages of highly tech
nical terms regarding the geological
formation in the oil field in question.
His letter was decidedly scholarly
and it may be that shorter words
were available, but not employed in
some of the matter therein. The bot
tom of the letter of inquiry was filled
with a memorandum by the oil expert,
which stated that the answers might
suffice. and explaining that Ito put
en- the work in the amplified form
requires paraphernalia, colored lights
and slow music"

ular intercourse with the German
government.
Recently Ambassador Gerard has
been trying to mitigate the unfor-
tunate conditions of German and
British civilians held under detention
in the opposing countries. The Bri-
fish authorities had issued an order
virtually making prisoners of all
Germans residing in Great Britain,
although many of them had lived
there for years and were to all in
tents and purposes as British as the
Britons themselves. The German
government threatened to retaliate
by imprisoning British citizens resid-
ing in Germany.
The suffering of these innocent
civilians who had no part in the war,
and of the families deprived of their
support, are severe, as no such pro-
visions for caring for them are made
as in the case of prisoners of war.
Mr.. Gerard now reports that his ef-
forts to bring about an exchange OF
these civilian prisoners have failed
because of the refusal of the British
government to make the exchange.
According to the ambassadors report
Germany offered to allow every Brit
ish citizen over As years of age to
leave the country if England would
do the same and he takes occasion to
deny the newspaper report recently
published that England's reason for
refusing was that men above this age
we're fighting in the German army.
A Naval Relic.
Just now the Washington Navy
Yard is attracting more than the u.s.
ual number of visitors on account Of
the exhibition of the naval relic,
United States frigate, Constellation,
which is III years old. Although
sadly out Of place in these days Of
600-foot warships, the fact that for
years she was the terror of her foes
gives the Constellation a semblance
Of dignity.
Since leavingeNewport, R. l., where
she was serving as training ship,
the Constellation has been renovated
and now presents something of the
picture she made during the early
years of the republic. The As guns
still nose out of her portfolios, her
sails are gone and her three masts
are bare. but racks of cutlasses re-
main to tell their share in the fight
ing of the ancient sailor, and her
decks are as neatly holystoned as of
odd, when 1t was deemed necessary to
permit free flow of blood and water
into the scuppers.
The Constellation left Baltimore.
where she was on exhibition during
the observation-disclosures centen-
NAL celebration. several weeks ago
and was anchored at the Washington
Navy Yard for an indefinite stay.
She did not come here with her sails
to help her, but followed an inglor-
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1914-12-25

ious and business-like tug. Since her
at Baltimore in 1897, the
Constellation has seen every sort of
service. In 1893, when sch began &C
tive service, she captured the French
man-of-war Insurgents off the West
Indian Island of st. Kits. Captain
Trhxton, of naval fame, directed her
800 men through an engagement Of
one hour and 40 minutes. He suffer-
ed two killed and three wounded, as
against 20 killed and Al wounded
lost by the Frenchmen.
The Constellation played her part
in engagements off Tripoli in 1922,
when the pirates were beaten into
submission. She defended Norfolk
during the war of 1912. In 1859 she
saw her last fighting. Then, in the
expedition sent to wipe out the slave
traffic, she captured the slavetrader
Cora. During the Civil war she was
stationed in European waters to
chase and destroy possible Confeder-
ate privateers. Her last mission
across the Atlantic was in 1880,
when she took food to famine-strick-
en- Ireland. She was in the Wash
ington Navy Yard as a gunnery ship
from the end of the Civil war until
1872, and later was taken to Annap-
oils to serve as training ship. In
1892 she began her last service, that
of training ship at the Naval sta
ton at Newport, r. l. She left there
to go to the celebration at Baltimore.
The Mayfower.
Another attraction at the Navy
Yard in Washington at this time is
the converted yacht, the Mayfiower.
which is at the disposal of the presi-
dent, but, by permission, is also used
by others. The last trip of the May
flower was to Mexico, conveying
members of officers families to that
point. Since then she has been rem
ovated and treated to new paint,
white predominating in the interior
as we'll as the exterior. The displace-
ment of the Mayfower is 1890 tons;
length, 273 feet; beam, So feet;
speed, 1870 knots; armament, 6
guns under 4-inch calibre.
The Mayfiower was purchased
March Is, 1898, from Ogden Goelet,
Of New York, the purchase price be-
ing 100000. She has always been
known as the Mayhower, her maid
en-" name. The interior arrangement
is much like that of other high grade
pleasure boats and has about all the
comforts Of a modern home. One of
the novelties in connection with one
of the chambers is a bath tub hewn
out of solid marble. This novel tub
is of a size which now would also
accommodate living eX-president.
Although kept in readiness, it is not
likely that the Maytiower will be used
to any great extent for several
months to come.

Fairbanks Nov 20.--In the hope of opening up the coal lands for home consumption, a number of mining men of this district, and others who are outside. but who have interests in Fairbanks, have opened communion ton with Senator George Chamberlain of Oregon. The prime movers in the matter stated that the mining men were anxious to secure the passage of a federal law whereby the coal lands would he put upon the same basis as the wood lands of the public domain, until such time as congress sECuld see fit to open up the resources for general use.
 Ii is contended that. if this were done. the local office of the lard
