(of tho City of Ardmore hereby state
that wo havo personally Inspected

Wo aro confident that by making
tho Improvements as herein outlined
that tho said dam will need no fur-
ther repairs and will stand us long as
1 time lasts. A smaller amount of mon-
'ey could bo probably used in fixing

ing the fearful consequence It any-

therefore think it Is tho safest and
wisest courso for tho city to fix the

WORLD'S COTTON SHORTAGE.
All Signs Point to a "Rush" Demand
Some Time Soon.
During the pant h'x or eight month
moat unusual eotiilltliiin have Influ
enced thu markets for thu world's sta
ple proilut'lN and perhaps no ono crop
hits been moro effected thereby than
cotton the crop upon which tho
south chiefly rcl.es for Immediate
cash.
While many people contend that
thu organisation known as thu Far-
mers' Union made a mlsltku In fix-
ing at thu beginning of thu season
the minimum price nt which. Its mem-
bership Hhould market Itliu staple
tit too high a figure stltl had nor-
mal condition ruled throughout tho
season prenent lino w led go rogardlug
thu world's shoitagu Justifies the con-
clusion that such minimum price
might have been obtained before thu
clo( of tliu season. Hut following
tho notion taken by this organized
farmers' movement so potential a
factor in the production of Uio staple
(hero can bo little doubt that thu
spinning world and every interest
Identified with It determined by every
means within its power to resist to
thu last extremity this now price mnk-
lng power In tho market. Hence tho
deadlock between tho farmer nnd tho 1
consumer began with tho opening of
tho season anil lias been war;ed tin- j
remlttlngly ever since. Unfortunately j
for thu farmer tho panic whntovcr
tho causu producing It canto on ear-
ly in the season paralyzing trndo
conditions throughout the world and
contributing moro to weaken Mm
lu his fight for hklior prices thnn tho
combined powor of all other Influ-
ences. This trade depression which
still hangs like a pall over tho cotton
market could hardly havo been fore-
seen henco whatever tho outconio of
the contest tho elomeiit of chnnco
has contributed to make It an unequal
ono for tho farmer.
However ns sttttod at tho outset
there are not wanting Indications
that tho remnant of tho crop a largo
portion of which Is still tn first
hands may soon commnml hlglior
prices than now prevail. Statistics
show that tho shortago In thu world's
supply Including tho Indian and Kgyp-
thin crops will approximate four mil-
lion bales nt tho end of tho season.
Kver with trndo conditions nbnor-
mally dull it Is hardly to bo conceiv-
ed Unit tho spinners will chooso to
faco tho opening of tho now season
with stocks reduced to practically
nothing. Henco mnny students of tho
situation think that competition for
