The traveling correspondent of the
United States Investor, published in
New York, Boston, and Philadelphia,
a conservative authority on national
finances, was in Oklahoma two
weeks ago, and after passing over'it
and investigating various towns,wrote
th** following to his paper:
The visitor to Oklahoma finds it dif-
ficult to believe that the territory has
been opened to settlement so short a
time as it has. There are on every
hand evidences of an advancement ami
pushing enterprise that is characteris-
tic of the class of people who have
settled this promised land, as there are
also material evidences of the prosper-
ity that cannot help impressing one
with confidence in its future and a
realization of its great natural re-
sources. Few people outside of the
section itself comprehend the differ-
ence between the eastern and western
sections of the old time territory. The
press has given so much attention to
the Cherokee strip and the Oklahoma
country, the central aud western por-
tions, that the average reader forgets
that the eastern third of the original
Indian territory is as much superior in
natural advantages as is eastern Kan-
sas to the central and western portions
of that state. The eastern part of the
territory is, moreover, growing as well
as the remainder. To be sure, here in
the Indian territory proper, the
"squaw-man" (the white who marries
into an Indian family) is all powerful,
and has the inside track on property
titles, but there is a growing laxity in
allowing whites to gain a foothold aud
by various devices they do a large bus
iuess, both mercantile and by develop
ing the naturally rich resources of the
country.
