With the establishment Of passenger
service between Ardmore and Heald-
ton, which is in the heart of the oil
fields, a new epoch is marked in the
southern fields Operators said that
the road between Ardmore and the
fields was the most heavily Travelled
road in the state Of Oklahoma De.
spite all efforts to keep the road in
condition there are times when it is
almost impossible, and the train ser
vice to the fields will be great con
yenience, and will also make their
trips cost much less money.
The general offices of the Ringing
& OIL Fields road here today announc-
ed that the passenger train, which is
an electric motor car, would leave hero
each morning at 7 o'clock and each
afternoon at three o'clock. Two round
trips to the new oil field town will be
made each day. The operator can
leave here now in a comfortable car,
| reach the fields rested for the days
work, and return in comfort at night
While the road means much to Ard
more people and to the oil fraternity
it is likewise a great convenience to
the people who live in Healdton and in
the fields It will give them close con
nection with the outside world, give
them a good mail service, bring the
school and the church ana q better
class of buildings to Healdton.

The Penrose forces know and feel that
they have not enough votes to pass the
Sproul prober over the head Of Governor
Brumbaugh. and they are not making any
plans along that line. They are banking
all of their strength. however, upon the
fact that they may be able to swing the
opinions of the Legislature in support of
some prober-that is whatever prober
Senator Penrose is in favor of at the time.
The anti-Penrose forces, on the other
hand are pointing to the vote that was
recorded against the Sproul prober in both
the Senate and the House to show that
the proposed concurrent resolution cannot
have any hopes of passing.
The vote I'm both the Senate and House
showed that neither faction of the Re.
