OUR BEST THOUGHT IN DEMAND
The Gab in the New Fox Field Migh Bo Piped to Teias Cities.
Ardmore Can Ue It.
It might be well for Ardmore to look out just now after the
Gypsy gas fit-Id. Our information is that the gas there is dry
which indicates that it does not come dim-tly from a deposit
of petroleum. The gas comes from a depth which makes it
much more valuable than the gas in the Healdton field for
the reason that the supply will last much longer. The gas
comes from what the geologists call the permanent strata. A
great gas field at Fox would be worth more to Ardmore than
an oil field would provided the gas is utilized by this town.
The Lone Star Gas Company is preparing to build a sixteen-
inch gas line from Petrolia; Texas to Loco. This company has
a sixteen inch line from Petrolia to Gainesville Sherman Den-
nison Denton Fort Worth and Dallas. There are a bunch of
cities on that line that are eager for a permanent gas supply.
They are willing to pay the price. They now have geologists
scouring the country to make reports on dim-rent gas fields.
There is a chance that the Lone Star people will make a deal
for the Gypsy gas field. It is near Loco by building from eight
to ten miles' the company could connect with that field. It
seems to us that this city should look out for that supply. If
it is piped to Texas it will be worth nothing to us as a city.
If it is piped in here it will bring scores of factories. When-
ever a large gas line starts to that field Ardmore will not
have to ask for factories they will come they will come with-
out bonuses and without sites they will come for fuel they
will come for economy. .
This proposition deserves the thought of the best business
men of Ardmore. It is true that the production of the new-
field cannot be measured at this time but it is reasonable to
presume that it is an extension of the Loco field or rather the
Loco field is an extension of the Fox field for the latter field-
promises to be the better field. It is reasonable to presume
that a vast supply of gas has been located. We know that
plenty of cheap gas will build a city. That gas piped in here
will double the population of Ardmore in two years. It wil
give a big increase to the taxable wealth of the county and
by all means this city should not fail to look thoroughly into
the matter and take no chances on losing this opportunity to
build a city.
ELECTIONS

TY SATURDAY AND RESULTED
IN MEMBERS OF ASSOCIATION

that every township carried over-

the delegates soon.

There will be ample funds from the
tax levy to supply both fairs and
senarate fair for the negroes would
stimulate greater Interest among them
than could be done in competition with
white farmers which they have a right
to do under the free fair bill. They
would much prefer to have a fair of
their own and the same officers chosen
for the Free Fair Saturday could have
supervision over It. This matter is
meeting with the approval of a ma-
jority of farmers approached on the
subject white and black.

DECOY LETTER
HDRSETHIE
LOCATED AT PAULS VALLEY AND
IDENTIFIED TO DEPUTY SHER-
IFF BY NOVEL METHOD WAS
TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
On the night of the 2!Mh of June
a horse and saddle were stolen from
Mr. Wilson who resides ut Springer.
After a few weeks' search the nuimal
and saddle were located near East
man and restored to their owner
but the thief continued to roam at
large until last Saturday afternoon
when he was arrested at Pauls Val-
ley and is now In the county Jail.
Sheriff Garrett who has a special
gift at catching a horse thief has
never for a moment lost sight of the
fact that ho wanted this man Jack
son and upon several occasions has
had him located only to lose him
before he could effect his arrest.
Last week the sheriff learned his
man was at Pauls Valley. ad sent
Deputy lathrop there Saturday.
Lathrop arrested him In tho post of-
fice while lie was reading a decoy
letter sent by the sheriff. Lathrop did
not know the party and the sheriff
wrote Jackson stating that a mini wus
after him. In fact Lathrop was
posted beside the delivery window
when the man called for the letter.
When Jackson Raw what he was up
against he was somewhat perturbed
and expressed his opinion of an of-
ficer who would renort to such a
trick to catch a horse thief.
He will be given an opportunity of
explaining his actions in the courts
at the next regular term.
