THE A0R1EN HOTEL
bis real estate offices in this city next
Monday morning.
"Ardmore property looks good"
said Mr. Wells "and I see no reason
why this' city should not have a popu
lation of 25000 people In a very short
time. I have 1t from the most reliable
sources" that the oil fields near this
tv am tKa erpateRt 1n Oklahoma. I
understand that the development has
been slow on the part of the Santa Fe
but I know that condition was brought
about by some questionable titles to
oil lands. The other companies en
tering the field have profited by the
experience of the Santa Fe and they
are not drilling on 'dead claims and
I am creditably informed that there
will be something doing In the oil
field before the end of the week that
will be of Intense interest not only to
Ardmore people but to the great oil
Interests of the United States."
Mr. Wells will begin at once to
build an annex to the Adrlen of thirty
rooms. These rooms will be built over
the stores that adjoin the property
on the south which Mr. Wells pur-
chased with the hotel property.
This real estate booster is not afraid
to put his money In Ardmore prop
erty and to back it up with more
money to make the hotel one of the
.
roomiest hotels in the city.

Tussy Okla. March 14. L. D. Hor-

dent one day last week. While riding
on the running gear of his wagon his

several weeks although he is doing
art well as could be expected at pres-
ent. John Carlston our blacksmith has
sold his shop and residence to C. O.
Rayburn who will probably have to
close up the shop for want of a black-
smith. Thifl leaves a good opening for
a good smith as there is a great deal
of work here.

In History Is Near.
Washington March 13. Hilary A.
Herbert secretary of the navy under
President Cleveland made a state-
ment here tonight in which he pre-
dicts the opening of a new epoch
in American history. He expresses
skepticism toward the official expla-
nation that the great movement of
troops to the Mexican border Is In-
tended solely for the .purpose of field
maeneuverB. He asks. If the United
States is to undertake -under the
theory of the Monroe doctrine the
protection not only of Its own citi-
zens but of those of European mon
archies whether It "is not likely to
prove a bl-'ger job than that entan-
glement with Euroixeau nations In
their efforts to keep the balance of
power against which our fathers so
often warned ub."
