STATE SCHOOL
LAND LOANS
COVE DESlGNATES SPECIAL
EXAMINER TO FOLLOW UP
WORK OF SPECIAL APPRAISERS
LOANS IN EXCESS.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 30.-L. e.
Cahill of the office of the state ex-
aminer and inspector has been desig-
mated by Governor Williams to follow
up the report made by his special ap-
praisers on the school land loans in
Roger Mills, Beckham and Kiowa
Counties. Mr. Cahill will begin this
work in a few days His duty will be
to trace the interests that were privy
to the excessive loans found in those
counties as made under the last pre-
ceding state administration.
The appraisement of the lands Civ
en- as security for loans from the
school funds in those counties was
made by r. j. Allen of Duncan and
+. w. Moore of Comanche, who were
appointed by the governor in pursu-
ance of an act of the legislature. They
began their work July l last, but were
interrupted by sickness and the task
has only now been completed.
These appraisers found some loans
that are alleged to be greately in ex-
cess of the value of the security. II is
these loans that will be traced by the
special examiner. In statement Gov
ernor Williams said:
The legislature, under the provision
of the appropriation, contemplates spe-
cial investigation to be made in con
nectiOn with the loans where same
are found to be excessive, but the
special agent whom | had selected to
do this work was then engaged and
he will not be available to begin there
on until Nov. /, when the same will
be resumed and the investigation as
contemplated by the legislature will
be diligently prosecuted and when
completed, the complete report will be
by me filed of record in the secretary
of states office.
This investigation is being made as
by the legislature and
with the sole desire of the faithful
performance of an official duty which
shall bee losed as speedily as possi-

ALL LUMBER
DEALERS ARE
VERY BUSY NOW
LOCAL YARDS ARE BUSY AND
BRANCHES ARE SUPPLYING MA
TERIAL FOR MANY NEW HOMES
IN COUNTRY.

The lumber dealers of the city are
busy lot these days, and their sales
are not confined entirely to the city,
where a great deal of material Is
required to rebuild the buildings
wrecked by the recent explosion, but
quite a lot of building material is
going to the country districts to build
better homes for tenant farmers
throughout the eastern portion of the
county.
Since the establishment of yards
along the Ringing railroad to the
west of Ardmore, the trade that for
merly came to this town from that
section is confined there, but the
yards are all owned by local people,
who are operating them as branches
of their Ardmore yards.
Not since the big fire has building
activity been as keen in the city as
it is at present, but an entirely differ
ent class of buildings are being
erected than were to take the places
of those burned over twenty years
ago. Brick and stone have taken the
place of wood in buildings within
the fire limits, and the fire limits will
probably be extended at the next reg
ular meeting of the board of city
commissioners.

Woman Kills Enormous Eagle.

Rolla, Mo-, Oct. 31-Mrs. J. II.
Arthur, who lives near Laquey, Pu-
laski county. probably enjoys the
distinction of being the only woman
in Missouri to kill an eagle without
the aid of a weapon. On Wednes-
day of this week she heard a noise
in the chicken yard and saw a large
eagle swoop down on the flock. A
watch dog rushed upon the eagle
and knocked it to the ground.
Mrs. Arthur grabbed a 'ong piece
OF wagon tire and struck the eagle
with all her might, breaking its neck
and right wing. The eagle measured
six feet, four inches from tip to tip.

London, Nov. 1.-THE British troops
whose movements have been kept Sc
cret since they landed at Saloniki, are
now in the trenches with the Serbians
and fighting the Buearians just across
the frontier near Strumnitza.
Although the reports that the allies
have captured Strumnltza are prob
ably untrue, it is along this portion
from which the Eulgarians will likely
receive the first hard blow from their
opponents.
From Uskup north to the Danube
the Bulearians have made such prog.
ress that it seems impossible for the
Serbians to do more than fight rear
guard actions.
The Bulearians claim steady ad-
vance at other points and are now
nenacing Nish.
The British are showing renewed
activity at Dardaneles and are now
hammering the Turks with their heavy
artillery.
There is also recurrent report of
another bombardme of the Bulga-
rian forts.
The recapture of Tahure Hill by the
Germans sums up the only known re-
suit of the sudden heavy fighting in
the Champagne district.

FREE FAIR BILL
WILL Be Up FOR
DISCUSSION
BOARD OF COUNTY COMM SSlON-
ERS MUST ACT AT THIS MEET
ING IN OPINION OF THE ATToR-
NEY GENERAL.

If Carter county has a free county
fair in 1916, now is the very accepted
time to get the interested citizens in
terested and do something toward
that end as the election in townships
must be held between now and the
18th of this month in order to comply
with all the legal requirements.
Several counties asked the attor-
ney general for an opinion Of the free
fair proposition and he has furnished
that opinion which is in substance that
the township must hold elections for
dir sctors and the county election for
all officers must be made before the
thirteenth of this month after adver-
tising the same for one week in the
papers.
The board Of county commissioners
will have TO adopt the free fair bill
at this session in order to give Carter
county a fair next year. but it has
been generally understood that they
would do so upon request of the prop
er persons. In his opinion the attor-
ney general states that no county
which does not employ farm agent
can have a free fair, as it is he who
holds all of the township elections.
80 counties in the state held free
fairs this season and that number will
be considerably augmented this year.
