With possibly one or two exceptions
we rendered you a service during the
tremendous rush that was satisflc-
tory. Monday and Tuesday, we han
died several thousand kilograms, be-
sides thirty or forty thousand words
Of press. Within thirty minutes after
the terrible explosion, we had wires
open and were handling your mes

as human endurance would permit.
We appreciate your patience We are
indeed thankful that our entire force

A GREATER AND
BETTER CITY
PHOENIX LIKE, ARDMORE WILL
ARISE FROM THE ASHES AND
BE BETTER THAN NEVER BE.
FORE.

Col. Sidney Suggs and wife were
enjoying the sights of the San Diego
exposition last Monday afternoon
when the news of the great disaster
was heralded through the streets by
newsboys, selling extras covering the
story. Mr. Suggs stated that he was
dumfounded at the startling news, and
could hardly realize that such a ca
lamity could befall the city. Mrs.
Suggs collapsed completely as the
first editions of the San Diego papers
carried the news that every empl)ye
of the Santa Fe was killed, Eb Evans,
the local agent, being her son-in-law.
Mr. Suggs stated that he was en-
gagged until after midnight in getting
the Associated Press dispatches, and
was somewhat relieved when he
learned that the first reports were
somewhat exaggerated. They took the
first train back east and arrived Sat
urday morning to behold a sight that
was beyond comprehension.
Col. Suggs stated this morning that
he was here to remain and to lend
his energy to the building of a great
er city, and to use what means he
could control by his personal efforts
and through the columns of The Ard
moreite to make the city bigger and
better than ever before.
