WAN TED, ACAN-
D|DATE FOR THE
LEGISLATURE
LOOKS AS IF DEMOCRATS WILL
HAVE TO DEMAND A SACRIFICE
UPON PART OF SOME ONE TO
FILL OFFICE.

"Who is going to be the second
candidate for the state legislature
from this county? That is a question
that many are asking and which no
days ago several citizens from the
Berwyn community approached f. K
West, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, and stated to him that
they were going to petition him to
make the race as the second man,
but he told them positively that there
was nothing doing" that he had
other matters to look after, and that
under no circumstances would he
consent to accept the place if he
could get it without making the cam
paign. One or two others have been
prominently mentioned, but so far
they have failed to declare them
selves, and unless democrat does
announce, the socialists or republi-
cans may have the privilege Of nam
ing one OF the representatives from
this county.
The campaign for county offices is
beginning to warm up, and while the
formal opening will not take place
until the night of June at Newport
many of the candidates are making
medicine among the boys from the
forks of the creek, and by the time
the race is fairly started they will
be pretty well known all over the
county on account of their present
activities.

Paris, May 1S.-The Austrian at
tack against the Italian front in South
ern Tyrol is gradually extending to
the entire Austro-Italian 'front.' mill
tary men believe it is the great Aus
trian offensive which has been antici-
pated.
The falling back of the Italian ad-
vance lines is regarded as a strategic
move. The Italian central position in
Louvarone plateau is believed to be
the Austrians' objective.
1t is expected that they will attempt
to smash their way through to Vim
ceza Plain. French militarists predict
Austrian failure.
While Vienna claims some progress
at Segnatorto, south of Roverton,
Rome says five attacks launched there
by the Austrians were repulsed with
heavy Austrian casualties and that
bodies of the Austrian dead floated
down the Adige river.

GAS COMP ANY
GETTING BUSY
ON NEW LINE.
BY THE MIDDLE OF JUNE ARD
MORE WILL BE USING GAS
FROM FOX DISTRICT NORTH OF
HEALDTON.

The Ardmore City Gas Company will
begin work next Monday morning to
build line from Oil City to the Gyp-
sy gas well in the Fox district. The
gas pressure in section Is in the
Healdton field has gone to pieces and
the company is planning to spend fifty
ply the people of this city with gas.
The company ordered six-inch pipe
for the line, but cannot hope to get
the order filled before the month of
August. 1t has some pipe of this size
on hand and what it has will be laid.
and the rest of the line will be filled
out with a smaller size pipe and when
the new pipe arrives it will be laid
and the smaller pipe will be taken
up.
The small pipe that will be laid
will be sufficient in size to supply
the city during the summer and be-
fore the cold months come again the
larger line will have been laid and
if the Fox pool supplies gas in suf-
ficient quantities the city will have
a plentiful supply for all purposes
next winter. The company made its
first extension to Healdton and now
it is necessary to make another ex-
tension. The Fox district gives pro-
mise OF having a permanent gas sup
ply. The sand found there is very
prolific and the depth gives it a rock
pressure that is much greater than
the Healdton field ever did have, and
the chances are very good that tho
city VIII have plenty of gas after the
completion of the line to the Gypsy
holdings.
The people of Ardmore are to be
congratulated upon the fact that it
has an aggressive gas company, one
that is not afraid to spend its money
in extending its lines. The line to
Fox should be completed by the
middle of June. A camp will be
established next week. and workmen
will be in the field Monday morning.

PIONEER CO.
To MAKE MANY
IMPROVEMENT
AGREEMENT REACHED YESTER-
DAY AFTERNOON AND APPROX
lMATELY 100000 WILL BE EX-
PENDED HERE.

At the meeting of committees from
the chamber of commerce. the business
mems association, and the city com.
missioners, yesterday, the proposal of
the Pioneer Telephone company to
erect modern building and install
the latest improved facilities for Ard.
for the ten per cent to be discontinued
was considered a good thing for Ard.
more and for the subscribers and all
present attached their names to the
petition. The telephone company agree
to do all they promised and spend not
less than $100O0000 before they dis
continue the ten per cent and believe
all improvements can be installed
within year. All poles will be moved
from Main street and placed in the
alleys where such is possible and some
underground work will be done.
Mr.. Berry, representing the tele-
phone company, stated that the COM
pany desired an amicable agreement
with the subscribers. He said that at
an expenditure of about $4,000, i'm
provements could be made to take
care of the present needs and would
be done, but he said the company was
willing to put Ardmore on the same
basis as Tulsa and provide adequate
quarters and facilities to meet de-
mands for all time to come if this
proposition met with favor. He said
that every subscriber would be
asked to sign the agreement and point
ed out that Ardmore was the only
city in the state which was being al
lowed the discount Out of the dis
cussion which arose, the consensus of
opinion was that for concession
amounting to twenty cents per month
on residence phones and thirty cents
on business phones. Ardmore could
well afford to maintain its attitude of
llNltluS OutSIue capital Inc CoiIpdHy
merely asked the individual concession
of those present, and did not ask that
they go on record as officials.
Some question has arisen as to just
when the company will raise the rates
on telephones in this city, and w. H.
Berry Jr., when asked about the matter
this morning stated that Tulsa with T.
600 telephones was enjoying the same
rate that the subscribers had for years
and they did not contemplate raising
the rates at present. In regard to the
local situation, he said that the com
pany might raise the rates in this city
after there were as many as five thou
sand telephones in use, as there are
only approximately LOO at present it
will be readily seen that the proposed
rate is not likely to come very soon.

Talking of Crops.

c. II. Davenport was here today
from Glenn and reports that crops
are doing very well. Corn is about
three weeks late but the plant is
healthy and growing fast. Cotton is
doing very well, considering the cool
mornings which make somewhat
against its growth. Oats and alfalfa
are doing nicely. The slow rain Of
a half inch, which fell last night,
was needed and that much moisture
is all that was needed The ground
was crusted from former rains and
the moisture that has fallen will
soften the crust and meet the mois-
ture in the earth, and growing condi-
tions now are almost perfect.
