"The biggest and best opportunity
Chickasha ever had to land adver

That's the way G. w, Austin
chairman of the Advertising commit

Commerce this morning sized up the
proposition Offered by the T. j.
Cannon Drilling company to get a
Pathe movie man here next Friday
to "shoot" the spudding in process
of the wildcat test well, 16 miles
southeast of here.
IT'S an opportunity that Chick
asha people cannot overlook con
tinued Mr.. Austin In order that
Chickasha may reap the benefit Of
this picture from an advertising
standpoint it will be necessary for
Chickasha people to turn out in
sufficient number to warrant the
picture. In other words, to make the
picture of real value. The plan o.
the picture, as I understand it is to
show the progress made here in the
past 80 years, showing the now in
sharp contrast with the then
in other words to get the his
torical value into the picture il
will be necessary to weave into the
story something that has real his

cal touch may be given in filming

the Northwestern crossing on the
road to Belmont Mrs. Somers' arm
was broken and the baby was badly
hurt. The family had been at Darling
ton for the day and were enroute
homeward. A short turn makes the
crossing bad. This ic the fourth &C
cident of the season at this point.

Wanamingo is in use across the

ASKS A RETALIATION
CITY NOT SATISFIED WITH VALUE
INTERSTATE POWER CO.. PLACES
ON ITS LOCAL HOLDINGS.

The city of Lancaster has asked the
railroad commission to have a re-
valuation placed on the property of
the Interstate Power company in this
city before any REIMBURSEMENT of light
and power rates are made.
This request was made Thursday at
the hearing held before H. r, Trun-
bower of the commission. Represent
ing the company were H C Orton.
Genl Mgr, of Oelwein, Ia, E. r.
OBrien of Olwein, Ia, Gen'l Counsel.
and j. n. Cadby, Madison, Consulting
Engineer. Representing the city were
Aid. Orchard, Mayor Mccoy and Aids.
Mcdonald and Aupperle.
The matter of physical valuations
was presented by the company but
more definite figures were asked by
Mr.. Trumbower Mr.. O'Brien with
good humor assigned a local man
to the Ananias Club when Aid. Or
chard said that the old company. in
corporated in 1913, had placed the
plant spring in its roll at $4,000.
Aid. Orchard said that he had a local
informant but did not give his name.
Mr.. O,Brien said that he would like to
have the man appear on oath instead
OF as breath of air. on a razor
blade"
Mr.. Trumbower said that the com
mission would make plant analysis
on the basis of the 1915 value of the
property before taking further steps
IN considering rate adjustment. This
seemed to be satisfactory and the
meeting closed.
Consider Telephone Raise.
Mr.. Trumbower, in the morning,
heard the application of the Farmers
Telephone company for an increase in
rates varying from 5 to 50 per cent on
various classes of service. Increased
operating and maintenance costs are
the reasons assigned by the concern
Tor needing more money. Cost figures
to substantiate this were presented by
+. A. Austin, manager of the company.
The matter will be taken under CON
sideration but the mass of work ahead
OF the commission prevents an early
decision
