"Here three leading staples grow
side by side cotton, corn and wheat.
Success in either has built up great
states. All three pulling together
ought to keep Oklahoma high up iu
the prosperity column.
"Prior to 1889 what is now Ok
lahoma Territory was either occu-
pied or owned by Indians, who
leased most of the land for cattle
pastures. The occasional traveler
only saw station buildings, Indian
shacks, herds of cattle and leagues
of prairie grass.
"For years a strong pressure had
been brought to hear upon congress
to open to gettleiu' in. thU v.i-i • ly

The proportion of citizens of for.

1 he population is largely
compsed of settlers from the
bordering states of Kansas, Mis-
souri and Ttxas. When the fii>t
run was made, the southern states,
as well as Colorado aud California
were well represented. Of late
years the heaviest immigration has
been from the northern and middle
states, consisting of well-to-do far-
mers and stock raisers. I here are
a few reservation Indians and sever
a' negro colonies—a small faction
of the whole. Theviiile American
is in the saddle and rules wisely.
The population in the spring ot
1898 was 311,400, divided by

TI10 1808 wheat crop Is conserva-
tively estimated at 40,000,000 bush-
els. It is difficult to comprehend
such large quantities. It may as-
sist to know that this crop would re-
quire more than 75,000 freight cars,
of average size, equal to 3,750 trains
of twenty five cars each. Put
these trains in a line and they would
extend a distance of nearly 550
miles, or from Chicago to Burling-
game, Kansas.
The money realized from this
crop will pay off mortgages, settle
up back bills at the stores, buy
