ArdmOre Located on a
Trunk Line; the Beauty
of Turner Fails Attracts

The location OF the trunk road
between Lincoln, Neb., and Gal
weston, Texas, through Ardmore,
is due to the activity of Eddie
Ramsey more than 10 any other
person. When the party came
through here making a location
of the road MIR. Ramsey drove
them to Turner Falls, and when
the party had opportunity TO see
what work has been done on that
road when they were shown the
beauties OF the mountains, they
realized what it would mean to
have such a scenic beauty spot on
he highway and they stated that
nothing would be permitted 10
change their plans and the line of
road will come from Davis to Tur-
ner Falls Park and from the Park
TO Ardmore.
The work OF properly marking
this line of road from Turner
Falls through Carter county to-
ward Marietta has been guaran-
teed by Robert F, Scivally and Ed
die Ramsey, and that guarantee
means that the work will be well
done. Ardinore did not have any de-
sire TO deprive Sulphur from being
on the road, but if the map makers
went by way of Sulphur it was
tieir intention to cross Red river
south of Durant and had that line
been chosen Ardmore and Mari
eta and Gainesville could not
have had the road built through
them and it was imperative that
Ardmore use its best efforts to
bring the line through the noun
tains at Turner Falls.

Slim Chance
 For Strike

Chicago, July With the Railway Labor Chiefs gathered in Chicago to canvass the 12 per cent. wage cut fully determined to avoid nasty action and hot words, prospects that the committee charged with formulation of a policy-stand by the workers would recommend a strike at this time were slim today. The commit tee of five railway labor heads will determine what action will be recom- mended to the 1000 labor delegates gathered here. Their recommends ton it is believed very likely will be endorsed by the delegates.
 There was considerable talk today that the railway men will be urged to accept temporarily the wage slash, pending further negotiation, or to back up a compromise proposal of a smaller wage cuts say possibly six per cent.
 It was recognized by the delegates that a strike al this time would not be to their advantage and that the railroads would be less injured by an immediate strike with the industrial depreSSion, than later.

Mexico City. July 2.-President Ob- regon has shown on numerous occa- sions lately that there is nothing or fhe aloofness and unapproachaolllty about him that characterized his pre- Soooesar Carranza. He frequently dimes in public with his wife ana at one cafe where there is dancing he nav be found at times escorunS a friend in promenade although he does not dance.
 At a recent wrestling match ne aroused much applause ~hen ne qul- estly slipped into a box and was not at all backward in picking his man to win ,
 He still refuses to use Chapultepec Castle the beautiful presidential home. for a residence preferring to live in a modest cottage nearby. The Castle. however, is frequently used for small parties and the circle of Ohreeon's friends is well entertain ed.
 The President disdains pomp and show and even the few State reeep- lions he has held have been modest Always a good horSeman, General Obregon may be seen almost any sunday morning on the bridle path and on days of fiesta he frequently joins the automobile parade through Chapultpec Park.
 At no time does he carry 8, body guard, not even on a recent national holiday when rumors of revolution were rife On that day he passed through thousands of spectators in an open carriage.

 At the first hearing Judge Tarver ordered the whiskey put in jail' for safe keeping. The sheriff had been using up his supply of deputies guarding the seized car when this or der was made, and he, at least, breathed a sigh of relief. The judge first ordered the wniskey destroyed, but everybody concerned made so much noise that the order was mod flied. Now it is ordered that another hearing shall be held and the car held for possible confiscation.
 The whiskey is growing better.

Hot Battle To
 Get Murphy

Sergeant Edward Cassidy. with the assistance of Patrol1nen Hennessey and Mccarthy, Special Officer Hook fielder and a patrol driver, succeeded last night in arresting one Frank Murphy, of Galveston, Texas.
 Frank, who is a husky chap, stand ing well over six feet in his scx, was discovered sleeping on the porch of a Fairfield avenue residence late last night. A chewing gum machine was found at his side. and Sergeant Cas- s1dy, who first noticed the sleeper, wanted to know How come ?' Mur- phy told the policeman that it was none of his business, and the battle was on. The fight was corker while it lasted. but with the odds against him, Murphy was finally subdued.
 In the City court today the Texan referred to the policemen as birds and guys" in spite of warnings is- sued by Judge Boardman. He claim ed that he had the "hot dog' and juice" rights with the circus, and said that he had leased the porch on which he was found asleep. After a rather lengthy hearing, Murphy finally drew a 10-day jail sentence, thereby missing the chance to make some money on his concession today.

 Purchasers who bought seats from specultators at advances of 400 to 500 per cent over marked prices groaned today when they learned that some of the scathers" had become panic stricken and cut prices to 20 and 30 per cent below Richards. Even at these prices the specuIators' tickets went slowly. This was believed to be due more to the scare over counter felt tickets
