Tomorrow afternoon at o'clock
I'm Anadarko, numerous delegates
from towns on the Central route Of
the Ozark trail, viii meet for the pur-
pose Of devising means to meet the
requirements Of Col, Coin Harvey
anent the train across Caddo county,
and to speed up in general the work
Of the trailers.
At the trailers' meet at Lawton last
week, Il was learned that the towns
in Caddo county west of Anadarko,
were Of the opinion that they should
have been designated on the Official
routing. The trail as selected by Col.
Harvey crossed the western part Of
Caddo county, south Of these towns.
When the matter was called to the
attention Of Col Harvey, he agreed
to designate two routes through Cad
do county, west Of Anadarko, one to
pass through Washita, Fort Cobb and
Carnegie and the other as originally
scheduled to the south OF Anadarko

everything possible to boost the
Ozark train across Caddo county, for
the reason that if Caddo falls down,
the work already done by Grady coun-
ty and the preparations for compile
ton Of the trail will doubtless be of
no vail. Col. Harvey has intimated
that If Caddo and Grady fail to come
up to specifications and show their
hands at once, the trail would be
thrown open to competition again.
This would mean that Grady county
would lose it. in all probability.
Evidence that Caddo county is

SURVEYORS FOILED
BY SNOW IN WOODS

The first forest service field party
of the 1917 field season, which left
several weeks ago on a detail in the
Canyon Creek district of the Blackfeet
forest, has been severly hampered in
its work by the unusually late and Sc
we're winter, according to advices re-
ceived at the district office from J. w.
Girard, who is in charge of the party.
The crew is on a timber cruise
through the Canyon Creek region, es-
timating the pulp chances in that Sec
ton, and is working in one of the
most virgin sections of the country,
as there are neither settlers, roads nor
trails of any kind. All the supplies
have to be packed in, by water part
of the way.
According to the leader the snow is
from II to Is feet deep all through
the district, and although the party
has made two attempts to begin work,
it has been forced to abandon both OH
account of the large amount Of false
snow. The crew will be forced to
wait until a crust is formed on the
snow before the work, which it is es-
timated it will take six weeks to COM
plete, can be begun.
