A meeting was held at the Court
House on the night of February Srh
tor the purpose of giving consider
alton to a proposition OF obtaining
a good road between Harrison and
Ponca City. This meeting was
brought about, primarily, on
account of 'riormatiou given BY Mir.

operating ne Eleventh Hour mine
near that placc, and who, accomp,
anied by his business associates Mr..
NJ. {. Peters OF Joplin. Missouri, aud
Mr.. Sam r. Duty of Ponca City,
addressed the meeting.
Mr.. Vancil is prepared to contract
for thirty or more teams to haul ore
from his mines to Harrison. paving
$40 per ton for the haul and agrees
to keep them busy all the time they
1sRn get over the road They have
~ vast quantity of ore in the Elev-

in September and taken ont 100000
pounds of ore, which is little less
than one-hali of that taken out of
the famous Almy mine, the latter be

and giving employment 10 approx
matelv six men. He states, as an
Illustration of the condition of the
roads. that five teams left the mine
on the morning of the 9th and on
the evening of the Sth they had not
crossed Gather Mountain. He
came down from Joplin to look
after the loading of this ore and on
account of the delay carsed by bad
roads, was unable t. wait longer
and left on the morning of the 9th
without having seen his ore,
ThcM. &N. 4. Railroad has arran-
ged for the building of an orc-load-
ing dump into which the ore may be
placed u.tiI ready for shipment and
then loaded from the dump into the
cars, and will arrange for similar
facilities for any other shipper who
has the tonnage warrauting the eX-
penseS involved.
Mr.. J. D. Gibson representing the
Gather Mountain Orchard Com
pny was present and explained
that the Improvement in the road
is greatly needed, not only from the
standpoint of ore hauling, but in
order that the farm and orchard
products may be brought into Har-
rison in good condition.
He stated further that his COM
pany is rather discouraged at the
failure of their past efforts in this
direction and are now contemplate
ing the building of a private road
70 haul their own products to a
point other than Harrison,
Surely the people oE this town and
community will not let a lack of
energy and financial assistance be
their excuse for the turning of this
interior business against Harrison,
which IS the logical point through
which the business should be market
ed 1t seems of special Importance
that each citizen OF Harrison should
attend the Good Roads Meeting
which will be called in a few DAYS,
as it is q great deal better to do
something now. which will turn
this business into Harrison, than to
lose l. and he sorry afterwards.
The road is in a deploraple condi.
tton and something should be done
by the merchants and other citizens
of Harrison, which will result in a
road over which the business may
be handled with reasonable dispatch
and safety.
TEe meeting at the Court Hosse
did not have nearly as large an at
tendance as it should have, the fact
being that we only had about four
parties present who were merchants
CT the town, although they had all
practically promised to be there,
and it is to be hoped that everyone
will be present at the Good Roads
meeting, at which time the situation
will be fully explained and discussed.
