Appointments to Fil Vacancies

owing TO the fact that he Is aDsert
from the city the greater part OF the
time, Director y. y. Feagn rendered
his resignation and at the meeting Fri
day night the vacancy was filled by
the appointment of John NJ. Cameron
of the Cameron Refining Company.
At the same meeting the vacancy In
] the directory caused by the removal
! from the city of II. @. Spaulding was
filled by the appointment OF John
Easley. Mr. Easley occpies the sane
relation to The Daily Ardmorelte as did
Mr. Spaulding. so that his appointment
to a dictatorship In the Chamber IS
logical.
Mark Kirkpatrick chairman OF the
committee on New Industries PROPOSED,
asked that he be relieved of the chair'
manship because. owing to recent
changes In his business, he Is unable
TO give as much time to these matters
az he has formerly given and as the
various proposals for new Industries
really require. on this representation,
President Ramsey accepted the resignl'
ton and appointed Judge II. c. Potterf,
a member of the committee, as chair
man. Mr.. kirkpatrick still continues
as a member of the committee.
Judge a. Eddeman has been az
pointed by President Ramsey to act with
Colonel Suggs in securing additional
subscriptions to the special road pro
motion fund. The original amount pro
posed for the year was 81 1900. Only
half of this amount was subscribed,
the the work of soliciting was stopped
and very little has been accomplished
since Since this fund was created last
spring. approximately $4,000 has been
expended in addition to volunteer work
on the Arbuckle mountain road, total
value of approximately $4,000.
There is not much Stacking i'm the
business of the Chamber of Commerce
or in calls for service because of the
hot weather It begins to look like
we will have to run away to get a va
cation as hte prospects for loafing |
spell are exceedingly poor.
At the membership meeting Friday |
night all road matters in hand were
referred to the Roads and County In
terests Committee The proposed ad |
ditional two days volunteer work on
the Arbuckle road is among these
items.
An invitation from the Daily Okla
homan to make use of page in their
big state fair special edition by way
OF advertisement of the citys resources
has been declined, on the theory that
funds at the present time Will
be more effective ii applied through
local channels.
Another relic which is to be framed
for preservation in the Chamber OF
Commerce rooms is a photograph tax
en- in 1910 of COL Sidney Suggs array
ed in plug hat and Prince Albert coat,
the aforesaid toggery being the colon
els uniform on the occasion OF the
opening of the Morris x Companys

he head and so started the great pack
ng industry that has since developed
n Oklahoma Col. Suggs was presi-
lent of the Ardmore Comemrcial CIup
rom 1898 to 1903.
