Will | PASS
UPON CLAIMS
UNLESS PREVIOUS SETTLEMENT
is MADE THEY WILL TAKE UP
SOME CASES THAT HAVE BEEN
SET DOWN FOR HEARING.

Friday afternoon the citizens com
mittee met at the city hail for the
purpose of hearing some of ;he settle
ment cases pending between property
owners and the Santa Fe Railroad
company, and to decide upon such
course of action as in their judgment
would expedite matters.
After a thorough discussion of the
local situation it was decided to give
the railroad company what time they
required in an effort to bring about
a settlement, and then, in the event
they fail to accomplish their purpose
the cases will be submitted to the
committee for their final judgment
The committee thought it advisable to
set down some cases for bearing next
week, and the following were agreed
upon as the first to be considered for
adjustment.
Tuesday morning the following
cases WIZ be considered:
]. r. Fisher, for personal injury,
and Clowdus and Bridges for property
loss.
Thursday Robertson, per
sonal injury. A. p. Yates, personal
injury. J. W. Crouch, personal in.
jury.
Friday.-W. f. Wilmington, proper
ty loss. w. C. Dewitt, property loss.
1t is possible that some of these
cases will be disposed Of by the
claim agents before the date set
down for hearing.
Filing with the citizens committee
has dwindled until very few are reg
istered daily at present, and the claim
agents will soon be up with the filing.
The agents have settled approximate
lv 400 of the claims filed so far and
they believe that with very few eX-
ceptions, they will be able to settle
with the remainder.
In doing this, the Santa Fe has es-
tablished a precedent. Never in the
history of railroads has claims OF
such magnitude been disposed OF SO
satisfactorily as those in this city,
without entering into litigation, and
thev would be pleased to dispose OF
every claim presented in that manner
if possible, in order to keep the record
straight, and for that reason are IN
clined to give claimants the benefit
of the doubt, in order to keep out OF
the courts.

German Officers to Athens

Rome, Nov. 13.-A Saloniki
dispatch says, four German
officers just before the landing
of the allied troops there, spent
three days motoring over the
Saloniki district and they were
then taken to Athens on a
Greek torpedo boat. 1t is as
serted that they constituted a
special commission to establish
relations between Athens, Con-
stantinople, Bucharest and So
fila.
The entire Bulgarian force
west of Vardar is endangered
by the simultaneous Serbian
and French offensives, accord
ing to news received here from
the front. In the Supagora dis
trict, the Serbians inflicted
heavy losses and demoralized
the invaders. The French caval-
ry raids have cleared the terri
tory between Krivolok and
Veles. Allied reinforcements
are arriving daily in Saloniki
and are then rushed into Ser
bia.

ELECTIONS {
HELD On FAIR
PROPOSITION
MEAGER REPORTS LAST NIGHT
FROM OVER THE COUNTY SAY
THAT ACTION OF COMMISSION
ERs WAS HEARTILY ENDORSED.

Yesterday elections were held in the
various townships of the county to Sc
lect members of the township and
county fair associations and from the
meager reports obtainable last night
it seems that in every township mem
bers were selected everything done
in compliance with the law, and that
Carter county will have township and
county fair next year. The election
for Ardmore and Morgan township
was held at the city hall and as soon
as a report Is received from the other
townships. list of the membership Of
the association will be published.
Since the adoption of the fair bill
by the commissioners, the substantial
farmers and stock men of the county
have been very active in working up
interest and from what is said in va
rious parts of the county, the first
fair is bound to be a big success.
The city of Ardmore will be called
upon to do its part toward furnishing
the necessary grounds and buildings
for the fair, but as the city owns a
fair ground already and with a fine
half-mile race track already built, it
will not be much trouble to raise the
necessary funds to build a grandstand
and the necessary barns and buildings
for display purposes. The law states
that the fair shall be held at any city
or town in the county that will furnish
the necessary facilities, the city of
ficials of Ardmore have already agreed
to start the subscription list for this
purpose with a donation of five hun
dred dollars and with this amount as
a nucleus it will be easy to raise the
balance. The tax levy for fair pur-
poses will give sufficient money the
first year to get the association start
ed and with increased property values
in the county it is estimated that the
levy can be cut in half the second year.
At present man who pays taxes on
$1,000 worth of property can take his
entire family to county fair for three
days for less than the cost of one
% cent admission, which forever kills
the argument of added taxation.

WINTER NEAR.
ARMIES WILL.
81: PREPARED
WITH THE CERTAINTY THAT
THERE WILL BE ANOTHER
WINTER CAMPAIGN, TRENCHES
ARE PREPARED FOR COMFORT.

Boulogne, France, Nov. 13.-(Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press).
Signs are plentiful that winter is
close upon the troops I'm the north Of
France. The nights are already cold,
far too cold for comfort, and the char
acteristic winter night mist from the
marshes is in the air. The trees are
not yet bare, but the leaves that
remain have turned to a se:e yellow,
while the roadways are covered with
fallen leaves which the soldiers here
and there heap into little piles for
a fragrant warming fire.
1t is evident that there is to be
another winter campaign; robbed,
however, of much of last years or
deal in boggy trenches and along i'm
passable roads. In Northern France,
at least, winter will find The rival
armies well prepared to receive it.
The wet mud, the ice cold water, knee
deep in the communication trenches,
the ooze and discomfort of the dug
outs, will be the exception rather
than the rule this year. The shelters,
even in the advance trenches, will
generally be fairly livable, thanks to
the plentiful use of concrete and tar,
and the skillful employment of drain
age.
Moreover, the armies will be prop
erly and amply fed. The British sol
diers will again don their sleepskins
supplemented by ample supplies Of
warm caps, socks and heavy boots
of a rather better type than last
years.
Many of the trenches now have
brick floors, and practically all are
drained and protected against land
slide by timbers.
The great problem of the winter
will be the billeting of all the new
divisions which have come ont since
last year. In the villages well be-
hind the firing lines, every out-build-
ing and old barn has been requisi-
toned, cleaned, repaired and made
into shelter against the wind and cold.
Eut nearer the firing lines most of
the buildings have been smashed into
ruins, and although they were usable
for housing purposes during the sum-
mer, they are plainly impossible after
mid-November. The problem is being
dealt with to some extent by the
building of portable houses and huts,
hut the armies grow too fast for the
{ Carpenters.
The work of the aeropla7e observ-
ers gets more difficult as winter APP
proaches. The fogs of the late au-
tumn cling to the ground in little
patches we'll into the day. while the
evening mists make observations dlf-
ficult soon after mid-afternoon.

IOWA COAL OUTPUT NORMAL.
Value Of Coal Mined in 1914 Reached
Total Of S13 100000.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Coal produce
ton in Iowa in 1914 showed de-
crease of per cent as compared with
1918, the output in 1914 being 7.451.-
022 short tons, valued at $13,S64,07O,
according to figures Just made public
by the United States geological survey.
Iowa is largely an agricultural state
and its crops were plentiful in 1914 and
the local coal mining business was al
most normal. The smaller demand for
coal in the east caused a larger guam
tity Of coal from West Virginia and
other eastern states to seek markets In
the northwest, displacing Iowa coal.
Illinois coal also invaded the local Iowa
markets. both in the home state and in
Missouri. Kansas and Nebraska. re-
sulting in the slight decline in Iowa's
production.
The nmber of men employed in the
coal mines of Iowa increased from To-
757 in 1913 to 16,057 in 1914, and the
average number of working days in
creased from 1875 to 204.
Iowa is no exception to the states OF
the interior province In which powder
mining by shooting from the solid Is
pra cticed to reprehensible degree.
and the record in that respect in 1914
is worse than in either 1913 or 1912.
The quantity OF coal shot off the solid
in 1914 was 5.545.S32 tons. or 74.4 per
cent Of the total: in 1913 it was 1913
per cent and in 1912. 60 per cent.
