This is time of oad-building," said
Mrs. McCreary. "a period when the cry
for good roads is more and more per-

great highway be the ono mapped out
by the women who have labored in
dustriously for the past six years and
more to trace the old trails and roads

foot Of this highway is rich In history,

velopment and civilization of a conti-

"The western terminal Of each road
or trail marked the limit of civilization
at the time of its construction. They
added a vast territory to this country.
1t is said of the Cumberland road that
it saved the country west OF the Mis-
sissippi to the United States. over part
of this route Gen. Kearney marched
with his army when Mexico declared
war against the United States, took
Santa Fe. and. continuing the march
westward, annexed the great state of
California to our territory. The pio-
neers blazed the Oregon trail, nearly
1000 miles long, amid such hardships
and dangers that Horace Greeley pro-
nounced their undertaking a form of
insanity: but it saved for the three
great northwest states over which no
other flag than that of the United
States has ever legally flown.

OVER 90 PER CENT OF PROPERTY
OWNERS HAVE SIGNED PETl-
TIoN TO PAVE A STREET, N. w.
FROM BROADWAY TO TENTH.

I'VE secured over 80 per cent of
the property owners on A street, north
west, to our petition asking that that
street be paved" said John McCarty
this morning, land we are now pre-
pared to go ahead and do business
with the city administration. A
street is one Of the principal resident
streets of the city, and for a long
time the property owners have been
contending with mud in rainy seasons
and dust during dry weather until
the housekeeper's life became a bur
den to her. For that reason the
owners decided that the best thing to
do was to pave, and in a very short
time we secured the necessary names
to their petition"
Paving will begin as soon as the
city commissioners can take the
necessary legal steps and award the
contract and will extend from Broad
way to Tenth avenue, northwest.

and refrain. "Abdicate! Resigni Get

Iand!" greeted Premier Tisza in what
was one Of the widest and most tu-
multuous sessions in years, even in
the most uncommonly tempestuous
Hungarian parliament. The Karolyi,
Apponyi, Justh and Andrassy parties,
but more especially Karolyi and
Justh, hurled accusation after accu-
sation at Tisza that the Hungarian
nation had been deceived and misled
as to the imminence OF the Rouma-
nian entrance into the war, and
charged that the government and its
diplomacy had been the dupe of Rou-
manian cunning which had brought so
much misery. suffering and loss to
the people of the richest sections OF
Hungary, where thousands of refu-

Tisza. for his part, frankly admitted

He fell back upon the reliance placed

hope that with Gods help Rouma-

Tisza appealed for unity on the part
Of the Hungarian people in this grave
hour and in that was seconded by
Counts Apponyi and Andrassy despite
their soathing criticism.

OHIO MAN IS
ASTON|SHEO
At ARDMORE
HAD PICTURED FRONTIER TOWN
OF ABOUT 1000 INHABITANTS,
AND FINDS HuSTLING MODERN
CITY 18 TIMES THAT NUMBER.

Fred S. Snyder of Dayton, Ohio, is
in the city the guest of his cousin,
Mrs. Hattie Robertson on A Street
Southwest.
Mr.. Snyder, who is in the railway
supply business, came out of the way
to visit his relatives here and to
take his first look at Ardmore, of
which he had heard so much in the
past few years.
He arrived over the Frisco last
night in time to witness the parade
of automobiles and the opening OF
the style show. He stated that he
was not only surprised, but really
startled at what he saw. Ardmore to
his mind had always been pictured
as frontier town of about 1000 in
habitants, and when he beheld more
than that number of automobile in
line, and as many more parked along
the streets, he revised his figures of
Ardmore Immediately.
He states that in all his travels that
take him nearly everywhere in the
| United States he has seen no town
with more modern store fronts and
stores that display better goods than
does Ardmore. He said that he did
not wish to be understood that they
were as stupendous as many other
cities possessed, but for the size OF
the town they were ahead of anything
he had beheld. Mr.. Snyder attended
the fair today and when he beheld
1.-THE display of fruits and vegetables,
| he was again astounded. The display
of mammoth melons and canteloupes
took his breath, and he would not
risk telling his newspaper friends In
the north of their size until he pro
cured a photograph which he will
take home with him.
Mr.. Snyder's brother was Mayor OF
DAYTON at the time of his untlmely
death by drowning in Canada a few
years ago, and the family is quite
prominently connected in the business
affairs of Ohio. He is interested II
the Kansas oil fields and is taking
look around the Healdton distric
while here. In commenting on The
great explosion he said that Ard
more certainly displayed the Daytor
spirit as that city was inundated by
floods a few years ago, in which many
lives were lost, but arose greater thar
ever, and he predicts the same fol

decides to return and locate here per

friends to join him.
He will remain here for seyera
DAYS looking over this section.
