is HERE.

The Atchison, Topeka q Santa Fe
Railway Company has sent its locat
ing engineer to Ardmore for the pur-
pose of going out over the country be-
tween here and the oil fields. The en-
gineer, j. W. Stewart, has arrived here
and brought letters of introduction
from his company to b. \. Simpson
who was appointed as one of com
mittee of three representatives of the
Ardmorc Chamber of Commerce to see
the Santa Fe with reference TO build
ing out of this city instad of building
out of Lindsay.
Mr., Stewart is now out over the
line, and is accompanied by a. O..
Simpson and d. c. Fitzgerald of this
city, and Julien Fields of Sherman,
Texas.
The Santa Fe has made no state
ments to the public of what the com
pany's intentions are, but it seems
from the movements that are being
made, that a line of road will be sur
veyed out of Ardmore, and line will
also be surveyed out of Lindsay; the
cost of construction and the probable
tonnage will be calculated, and the
line which makes the best showing
will be built. In case the line is built
from this city the company will be
urged to touch the asphalt mines at
Woodford 1t is believed that If line
is built to the mines that it will mean
a vast amount of tonnage and will be
a favorable feature to induce the build
ing of line out of this city.
There is still another big feature
that will favor Ardmore. The company
is satisfied that it will have large
tonnage from Ardmore to the fields,
but in case the line is built, the com
pany is in doubt concerning the

amount of tonnage coming this way. In
this regard and in order to satisfy the
Santa Fe that it will have tonnage
coming this way, b. A. Simpson, presi-
dent of the Gates Oil Company will en-
ter into a contract with the road to
build refinery on its tracks and to
give it the tonnage from the refinery

mage of petroleum products will be two
mighty factors favoring this city, and
it is possible that the Santa Fe will
build out of here instead of building
out of Lindsay.

"HoT CHECK" ARTISTS.
Some Of Manipulators are in the
Tolls OF the Law

Three forged checks were passed up
on merchants of Ardmore from Sat
urday night until yesterday after
noon, and this morning another bad
one was reported to the secretary of
the Business Mems Association.
The organization will take prompt
action in prosecuting the offenders as
rapidly as they are apprehended, and
they will be apprehended, as already
Sheriff Garrett has one in the tolls,
and thinks he has the others spot
ted The sheriff spent most Of last
night on the trail of the offender he
landed, having hunch that it was the
first suspect who entered his mind. He
happens to be well known in this city
and has propensity for getting in
bad"
Secretary Gilbert says, that the fall
season usually attracts the hot check
artist, the merchants and clerks are
busy, and they are not as careful in
every instance as they should be. -

SAN FELICE CIGARS
Five Cents Straight
And Worth 1t!

Owing to the greatly increased cost
OF quality tobaccos, in fact. everything
pertaining to high grade cigars, the MAX
ers of the San Felice cigar, The DIESEL
Wemmer Company have advanced the
selling price to the Jobbers and Dealers,
and henceforth this cigar will positively
be sold to the consumer at cents
straight instead Of six for a quarter as
previously.
The SAN FELICE is national in its
scope and character, having justly at
tanned this eminence through its unex-
celed excellence. To maintain this un-
equaled standard of quality, the advance
in question is absolutely unavoidable. The
generous support of all men using quality
cigars is earnestly desired.

Ordered Deeper Drilling.

The Haskell-Sinclair well in section
11-4-1 west, which has reached depth
of 1775 feet, will be drilled deeper.
At least Mr.. Sinclair gave orders
while he was here recently to drill
the well deeper. The casing is frozen
and it will be difficult matter to do
deeper drilling, but it is stated that
Mr.. Sinclair's orders will be carried
out.

About Orc lnhabitant in Five OF White

Many of us talk of Mexicans as if
they were Of one blood, Just as We
misconceiye Mexico as n single gov
eminent instead OF weak union OF
thirty states and territories. In fact,
the Mexicans form an amazing mix
ture OF races; they differ among them
selves more than the tenants OF
prairie-dog town.
About one Mexican in FIVE claims
20 be OF white stock. This fifth Of
the population comprises Spaniards,
both descendants of the colonial dis
possessors and more recent corners,
together with Americans, English
men, German. French and represent
atiyes Of almost all the other nations
OF Europe. Nor are japanese want
inr.
little less than two-iifths Of the
Mcxicans are Indians. These are d.
vided into some sixteen tribes and
races. differing from one another
more than the early redmen of our

hcarttearings OF their sacriicial rites
and the orgies at their hanQuets on
human fish, had achieved long cen
turtles ago a civilization whose tradi-
lions and architectural remains de

of savage type and habit to this day.
BY religion and superstition most of
these five millions are still semi.

history these dark-skinned MeXicans
have been good haters and fighters

With such a make-up--ill-assorted

reclaimed and irreclaimable, half

TuBERs TO BECOME FRUIT
Missouri Professor Tells of Future
Work Of Chemists, With Potatoes

Parkville, Mo-, June 2S.-The day
is coming soon when potatoes dug
from the ground will taste like canta-
loupes, grapefruit will be piced from
the trees like cherries and the garden.
Such was the prediction made by How
ard Dean, professor of chemistry at
Park college, speaking before the Mis-
souri, Valley Horticultural society.
Prof. Dean said he already had sue
ceeded in reducing the starch of pota-
to to sugar through chemical treat
ment. He asserted that by feeding
certain plants ON formaldehyde they
can be made to develop sugar and
starch
He said that Investigations now be-
ing made by chemists show that plants
manufacture compounds that are not
normal to them. These Investigations,
he said. are being continued and chem
lists are diligently searching the leaves
of plants in an attempt to find the
agent which converts carbon dioXide
in the air and the moisture into plant
products,
When the secret is discovered and
its early discovery he is coniident-he
said he would possess an unlimited
source of energy. The point he
brought out was that the possession
of that secret would enable man to con-
vert the suns energy to his own use
in any way he desires.
Then it would be possible, he as
serted to fill the Sahara desert with
plant life; to grow any plant so that
it would taste exactly as its grower
wished. He also said, in answer to a
question, that it would be possible to
raise grapefruit with the bitterness re-
moved. Fruits, he added could be
raised so they would taste Just as the
grower desired.

MOLD czAR IN REVERENCE
erst - Ss~sthioO A1ors
Yhsn Human.

The czars of Russia have their i'm
mense power not only through ma
terial wealth and soldiery; it is a
familiarly recurrent fact in history
that when material power needs to
be strengthened to control a humer-
GUS and enslaved people, nothing is
30 effective as to add to it the at
tribute of divinity and especially
sanctity. Superstition controls the
masses more effectively than SOL
diery. A man will feel compelled to
withhold judgment of even a des-
potic and dissolute ruler if he sim
cerely believes that the ruler rules
by divine appointment. The czars
Of Russia hav" Got only claimed di-
vine right, but by the ignorant have
been credited with divine attributes.
The czar has long been spoken of
by the devoH as the Holy Gar, the
God on Earth, the Adjuster of the
Earth. His personality is sacred
None are worthy to crown him. He
crowns himself in the great Church
Of the Annunciation in Moscow
which is paved with jasper, cor
nelian and agate, while Moscow bells,
hundreds, and tens of hundreds, ring
to proclaim him. Until as late as
ten years ago, when he himself by
manifesto renounced his divine
right, the car had autocratic author
ity over the souls of his subjects. If
they left the church he could exile
them to Siberia.-Woman's Home
