From ;hr day to the present, the Anlmoi has continued to grow and It now holds rank with the best and uio.t progressive newspapers lu the stale of Oklahoma.

Although the bonds have not been Tho very evident fact that Ard more Ik lu need of a larger opera house or auditorium, whore large gatherings may bo enred for In com-1 fort and with convenlonco wns nver better demonstrated than tin Thurs-1 day nnd Friday nights, when the ' Koblson opera house wiih crowded to ! the doors and seats und benches had to bo plnettl In the aisle and necessarily crowded past the wife ty line. This state of affairs, as concerns , local theutrlcnl conditions, yesterday developed the fact that before the I fall "show" season opotnt that Ard- i more will have a modem, up-to-date opera house, second to none lu the state, ciiiahle of seating 1,200 per sons or more. 1 The new playhouse Is to be built by well knoAii local partli. and while It would be violating no con fidence. It lit deemed best not to give Uih names of tho projectors Just yet, but that such n house will be built hero during the com- ; lug summer or full, Ih almost nn assured fact, ns a prominent Kan sas City architect Is now working , on plans which will be submitted i for approval. The new house will cost in the u Ighhoiiiood of $rsr,000 or $ 10,000 i und will be modeled after the best of the playhouses In the blg titles. So far as Ih lenmed now there ' will be storerooms undenn ath, or at leu.tt part or the lower floor will be so occupied nnd the theater proper 1 will he In the reur, liming both a balcony und gallery. The location has not yet bei , definitely settled upon, suffice to say that It will not be built on ! .Main street. Ilroadwny mill most 1 likely offer the most suitable lo-1 cation, lu fact, It Is understood that options for this purpose have been ! taken on several pieces of property on this street. It Is the Idea of builders to open the season and to dullcate the house with one of the big eastern tvimpunles, brought to Ardmore es pecially for the occasion. They will expect the public spirited titlxriiH of this city to help them only to the extent of paying a good liberal price ror "iirst night seats, pcrhnps as t iniicn as ten or lirteen dollars per stat, and this Is not too much to ask or to expect. Other cities have helped local builders lu such man ner very greatly, and have fell proud to be able to do It. Arrangt tneiits have already partial ly been made looking toward the bookings, for the new house, and which will he on one of the big theutrlcnl circuits, assuring Ard more theater patrons tho best there Is to l had In the amusement line. The builders are men well . known lu entertainment circles throughout this section of tho state i ami have had experience such in will t liable them to make u decided success of their venture.

Ha oh of these onndldntes has tho Oklahoma spirit and will go with a vim after the support of the people. A llvtly cam paign, which before It ends will Interest every Inhabitant of the state, will be In progress in a short time. Ardmore hns been too busy building and growing to have engendered any III will ngnlnst any city or tho state. The people would not rob either or tho towns of any honor due It and mould like to see.

The writer wlsliet his name withheld, hut his letter ami signature Ik on file at this office: To the Hankers of Ardmore, Aidmore, Okl.t. : (it-ntlumrn -An effort Is being made by the people of Ardmore to raise money to gut u stttfiiiont sup ply of natural ga.s lu the vicinity of Ardmore to enable us to give man ufacturers a very chAap rate, and thus build up our city. I have been Informed that the money has not yei been entirely raised, and that there are Mime few people lu the city who are not Inclined to aid III the effort. It Is Immensely concecbd that If we can get factories lu the tity we can double our population In a short time. To double our popula tion In a short time means to dou ble the bank deposits In the same length of time. This Is true, lie cause the recent statements of the hanks In glowing towns of the state show that their dcMs!ts are Im mensely larger than are those of Ardmore. I understand you think deposits are worth to you three or four per cent per year, and are willing to pay that amount for deposits. The depi.t Its of Ardmore now aggregate $1. 000.000. If we can double them in a short time it will mean nn in crease or $1,000,000, and this mill he worth to you, and I think you would he willing to pay !l per cent, p r year to get It done, :i per cent or ll.OOO.Oiio is $110,000. ir the bunk1 would give one-sixteenth ot this Coiinellv ' uniount towards doubling the popuhi- V, Mill.

Is there any fallacy about this reasoning? 1 , If any person doubts tho correct-, I ne.ss of the rigures, let them wtitt ' to the growing towns and the hanks tnere and ask them their experi ence. I U this Is tho case, would It not ' also pay them as a body to get out and work enthusiastic. ror the proposition, so that the'r iutliience as well as their money shall count, to get cheap gas ror the city or Ard moro, get ractorles here, get prople i hero, get new money hero to make tho town grow and prosper, as our ' neighbors are doing In other parts 1 or the state' A "CITIZH.V yesterday t'tiui the preaching ; lliirlal was In It has at last become necessary for tho Retailers Association nnd the Com mercial Club to hnvo larger quarters, nnd nt the meeting of tho former on Friday night nt the city hall, the room was not able to accommodate those who would attend.
