Columns of fire hundreds of feet
high are covering the entire field, it
is declared, and efforts 70 suppress

hopeless.
1t is also feared that there will be
some loss of life, as the fire spread

observed that they not to be allowed even to wade IL
the mountain stream and emissares sent to Davis to
permission of the Turner Falls Park Company for the
children to wade.
This company has also made rule providing that

creek The company provides bath house dressing
and gives accommodations whatever but requires
that people shall pay to what nature has placed there
the mountains for the enjoyment and of all people
Ardmore does not accept this being reflection OF
the spirit manifested by the people of Davis but Ardmore
does look upon being very short sighted act upon
the part of company that is trying to build resort at
Turner Falls Some members Of the company reside in
Ardmore and in Davis
If it not for the publicity which this gives
Turner Falls combined with the patronage Ardmore
pie give that resort it would not amount to much and
Ardmore people willing to build resort somewhere
else any time there is necessity.
This county has been spending county money to build
road resort where the children of the county in
not allowed to wet their toes in the running creek
and pay of money swim in the deeper places
lin the creek is possible that the ruling of the
pany will require payment for the privilege Of using drink

We believe that Ardmore should a body of men
take this matter up with the company that Turner
Falls the company does not desire to enter into per-
contract concerning the of water and of the
mountains that favorable the children Of this county
then believe that should withdraw from the falls
quit spending public moneys that road and spend what
money have in building camp at other place.
There is no dearh of and scarcity of scenery
in Carter county and there many other places which
can be had for camp for children.
