was made for Henry j. Brennan Of
Carbondale, Pennsylvania. AN oil man
who was looking for oil in this section
OF the then wild and woody"
The section OF the country mapped

dicated north of Woodford.
This map is an interesting relic and
will be framed for preservation in the
Chamber of Commerce
About the time that this map was
made, the John d. Rockefeller inter
ests had survey made of this part
of the country which resulted in veery
similar findings by their geologists.
Rockefeller stated at that time that
the business world would have TO wait
twenty-five or thirty years to realize
on these deposits of OIL AS it would
require that long for the country to
develop and become available.

that he has eight musicians who expect
to locate in Ardmore within the next

baritone and one trombone. Six of these
men come from northern states and two
from Oklahoma. They are all mechan'

Mr. Barnard also hasseveral other
prospects and will endeavor to secure
positions for the men before bringing
them TO Ardmore.

rehearsal and organization meeting will
be called and every band musician in
the city will be invited to participate.
1t is proposed to form new organi2a'

4 Hint As Good As a Wink

A hint that Chambers would advance
two per cent within the next few
weeks. together with the fact that the
cars unloaded this week had all been
sold was all that was necessary for
Moss Patterson to get busy and start
two additional carloads towards Ard
more.
The new model Chandler speedster,
according to Moss. is making the hit
of the season and he wishes he had
contracted for twice as many as he
had.

effort will be made to secure this con
vention.

SAVE LONE GROVE
CRAVELED ROAD

The condition OF the Lone Grove
gravel road Is alarming to good roads
promoters. They are of the opinion
that unless something is done immedl
ately toward its permanent improve
ment the great amount OF money that
has already been spent upon It Will
be largely lost.
The last heavy rain followed by the
present dry period with exceptionally
heavy travel on the road, have worn the
gravel surface down and the large rocks
which make the foundation Of the road
are projecting their sharp corners
above the surface, condition ruinous
TO rubber tires.
The original gravel surface has now
been worn down and forced into the
voids between the foundation stones so
that it has mostly disappeared. Com.
petent road construction men who
have examined the road say that an
other month OF wear similar to that Of
the past two weeks will put the road
In such condition that the travelling
public will avoid 1t In order to save
tires and make speed.
1t is also the opinion of these road
men that the only way TO save this
road Is to put on II new gravel surface
and treat 1t with oil. The foundation
Of the road is good and with the right
surface placed on 1t will make one OF
the best roads in the state
Ardmore refineries are producing
road oil of the very highest quality
which is being shipped all over the
country and finds a ready market 1t
can be sold locally for less than half
what ii costs communities in other
states. yet none OF il is being sold in
Carter county. Illinois and Iowa are
two of the best markets that this oil
has.
definite effort will be made through
the Roads and County Interests Com
mittee Of the Chamber of Commerce to
induce the Carter county commission
ers TO take immediate action. looking to
ward saving this road and to its per
manent maintenance. According to our
best state roads authorities, the great
difficulty in connection with the build
ing of ahrd surface roads in Oklahoma
has been that the item of maintenance
Of the road after it had beSh construct
cd has been neglected and for this |
reason u vast amount of excellent road
work has actually been wasted because |
there was no provision for maintenance |

citizen, who was present at the meeting
