AN IMMENSE VOLUME OF

IMP POUNDED At A POINT
ON ANADA RK D CREEK
NATURAL BASIN WHICH LIES
BETWEEN TWO GIANT HILLS
JUST EAST OF OVERBROOK
WOULD MAKE SECOND
LAKE WORTH

1t is stated that on Anadarko creek
about 10 miles southeast of Ardmore
there is a site where a dam can be
built that Will impound as much
water as there is in Lake Worth at
Fort Worth. 1t IS also stated that
the water will be backed up within
&wo miles of the city OF Ardmore,
nat Anadarko creek runs the year
round and that such lake could be
filled with water within a short
time.
The owners Of the land there desire
TO see n lake built, they have in mind
to organize a company to build n
club lake for fishing. boating, swim
ming, etc. Such a lake could be used
in emergencies by the city to supply
its industries with water, but the
original plans do not include the use
of the lake for supplying the city
with water for domestic purposes.
A number of citizens left here this
afternoon to look over the site and
to make some photographs. H. T..

the party at Overlook this afternoon

leaving here included o. H. Wolver-

EXPENSIVE EXPE RI N EN- 7
Of GOVERNMENT COMES
TO END At MID n | CHIT

Washington, Aug. 3l.-Estimated to
have cost the government. one hun.
dred million dollars monthly for the
past six months, the clause of the
transportation act which guarantees
earnings to railroads of the country
will cease to be effective at midnight
tonight and the roads again will be on
their own resources. Further loans
from the government, however. will
be available from the revolving fund
created BY the act.
Definite information as to the cost
to the government of the earnings
guarantee provision probably will not
be known for several months as the
various railroads face considerable
task in balancing their books in order
to give detailed operation figures. The
bureau Of railway economies, how.
ever, has estimated that since the car.
riers were returned to hteir owners
on March /, their earnings have been
six hundred million dollars below the
standard return.
Most railroads have certified TO the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
treasury that they have incurred de-
ficits during the six months period
and have asked for advances under
the guarantee clause pending final
reports as to their losses. Roads make
application for advances before mid.
night tonight, otherwise they must
wait for final compilation of the sums
offered them by the government.

Chairman George S. White Of the
Democratic national committee was on
hand today to supplement the infor-
nation given the committee yester-
day by Former Chairman Homer s.
Cummings. Democratic campaign con-
tributions to date total only $4,000,
Mr.. White said he would tell the COM

is so poor that l hate to confess it"
Mr.. White said. we have already
spent practically all the $4,000 sub
scribed. l have stepped into my place
so recently that | have no final
campaign cost estimate to present"
Two hundred thousand dollars was
added to the Republican campaign
chest figures presented by Chairman
Hays yesterday when Mr.. Upham re-
vealed that the Republican senator
ial and congressional committees are
to raise independent funds.
He testified that the national com.
mittee had agreed to loan the sena
torial committee up to 100000 and the
congressional committee 100000 to
be returned when they collected their
own funds
Mr.. Upham explained that on,y
100000 of the loans could actually
be spent in the 1920 campaign as
the senatorial committee was to get
only 100000 before November 2. The
other 100000 is to be used to finance
future campaigns.
Senator Reed. cross. examining Mr.
Upham, brought out the fact that
money advanced the two committees
was on straight loans and was not IN.
cluded in the budget Of approximately
$4,000, 900 which Chairman Hays told
of yesterday.
Where will they get the money 10
pay back these loans?" Senator Reed
asked
From Republicans"
That means they will raise thai
money in addition TO the budget you
raise and return it TO you"
Yes"
There will be just that much more
added to your campaign fund.-"
