Friday's News-Capital:
Andrew Dow and R. C. Storrie
left for the south last niglit after
a reorganization of the Milby &
Dow Coal and Mining company.
Mr. Dow and Edwin Ludlow have
sold all their interest in the oonv-
3any to Mr. Storric, who lives
at San Francisco. Mr. Dow sold
his stock in the Dow Coal com-
pany siime time ago to several
individuals and consequently is
out of the coal business in thus
section.
Mr. Ludlow, as the News-Capi-
tal stated the other day, is now
general manager of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Co., in
Pennsylvania. There is con-
siderable regret that Messrs. Dow
and Ludlow are no longer inter
■sted in this field, as both are
strong mien.
W. L. Dennis, who lias been
general sales agent, of the Dow
Ccwtl company, a selling coal com-
pany, becomes general1 manager
of the Milby & Dow Coal & Min-
company. He will maintain
his office in McAlester.
"Sandy" Breekenridge will re-
main as general superintendent
of the five mines of the company
around Dow. The mines have a
daily capacity of 1,500 tons.
Mr. Dennis has long been as-
sociated with Mr. Dow. After
the sale yesterday he was for the
first time in eleven yiears not
working for Mr. Dow.
lie spent one year with Mr.
Dow and Mr. Ludlow in their
mining operations in Old Mexico.
For six years he was division
sab's agent of thi Dow Coal com-
pany at Oklahoma City. A year
ago last April he eame to Mc-
Alester as general sales agent
of the Dow company.
He has familiarized himself
with mining conditions, i« a
thorough businessi man and will
without question make good in
his new position, which is one
of great responsibility.
Mr. Dow and Mr. Ludlow have
also sold their interest in the
Dow Coal Company and in Union
Coal Co. W. E. Beaty and asso-
ciates have acquired all these in-
terests and now control the Dow
Coal Co., selling agency, the
mines it operates at Savanna, and
the Union Coal Co. mines at
Adamson and the mine at North
McAlester. They also have the
7.1)00 acres of coal land known
as the Kavanagh property.
Mr. Beaty is president of the
Dow Coal Co., and stated this
morning that he had taken no
steps to fill the vacancy of gen-
eral sales agent caused by Mir.
Dennis' resignation.
Buying Texas Cattle.
J. W. Grady returned Satur-
day from Ft. Worth. Texas,
where he and Norman Pollan, of
this city, bought 500 head of cat-
tle. Three cars of the purchase
have already been shipped and
the remainder will follow soon.
The cattle will be pastured at
Damon and Ti.
CUT GLASS
I will not go into details
as to the various values to
be had at this sale. Suffi-
cient to say that during
stock taking time every
piece of glass in the house,
no| restrictions, whatever,
will be offered at a dis-
count of twenty per oent
This is by far the largest
discount ever offered by
this store on cut glass and
will undoubtedly be taken
advantage of by many buy-
ers. It means that
$5.00 bowls will
go at $4.0©
$1.50 nappies will
go at $1.20
$20.00 vases will
go at *16.00
$1.25 salts and pep-
pers at *1.00
$8.00 water sets at . *6.40
As stated before not an
article will be excepted.
Look at the plainly marked
prices and deduct from it
twenty per cent for any
article of cut glass you may
select.-
