It la not ao much th pupose of this
edition to net forth the historic! event
to deal with the conditions as they
exist today and to state the peculiar
advantages offered to people contemp-
ts' Ing a change of base for either home

000 people These come from Texas
Kansas Missouri Iowa Nebraska and
Illinois mostly and are aa intelligent
lawabidtng and industrious a class of
people as can be found anywhere it
the older states The county bar
several good towns within hei limits
Besides Coaigate the Judicial seat and
principle business point there are Le-
high Tupelo Centraboma Oiney
Phillips Kittle and Cairo all flour-
ishing little centers of solid worth
Additions to the population of all
these towns have been large since
the taking of the United States cen-
sus as baa also been the accessions
to the farming population There are
many new houses in every locality all
occupied by thrifty progressive peo-
ple It is difficult to find vacant
bouses in any community
Schools
The public school system of Coal
county is one of the best in tbls
pait of the new state and the public
spirit patriotism and enlightenment
of our people Is well reflected in thla
regard Coal county people fully
recognize that In the efficiency of the
public schools depends Ihe progress
of the intellectual advancement and
progress of the race as well as the
only safeguard against the dangers
that threaten both the stability and
permanence of the republic This
county is divided into fortyfive school
districts and these contain forty-aix
school buildings The total enroll-
ment of the county is 5105 for which
CO eacbera are employed at salaries
ranging from HO to (100 In the ru-
ral districts the terms are from six
lo nine months averaging six months
and in the towns of the county the
terms last nine months Improve-
ments are constantly being made ail
over lb county and several bui’dings
are gang up in the dfferen ran of
the county at this time
Climate
The climate is what may be termed
"medium" The thermometer seldom
falls below xero end there are but few
days in tna vmier when ft on pre
vents plowing fenowf-'' is ver light
and sleighlm is tlairst unknown
The summers are mild and as a whole
delightful and bright crop-growing
days ending with the cool breezes of
the evenin? Inducing healthful and
restful sl3!t giving strength (o Ihe
strong and l u nil to good bruit li ih-
weak and delicate Sunstrokes are un-
known 51 an and beast work through
the long harvest and threshing sea-
son without the fatigue exhaustion
and prostration of the more northern
atates There is always a hreexe and
no one suffers On this account the
country is generally healthful there
tx lug very little of the fevers and
lung troubles so common in other
parts of the south and west Farm
work can lie carried on through the
entire winter the air being just cool
enough to be bracing and sends the
blood conrsing through the veins with
renewed vigor at every pulsation of
the heart
Watsr
The country is amply watered by
the Muddy Clear and Caney Boggy
rivers and their numerous branches
as well as from Rock creek Goose
creek Caney creek Salt creek Keel
creek leader creek and others For
drink purposes good pure water de-
void of alkali and gyp Is found at
depths of from 20 to 50 feet but the
very bent is found at 50 feet and this
Is as good as can be bad anywhere
In the country The average rainfall
the past five years has been about
thirty-two inches and this has been
admirably distributed two4blrds of
the annual precipitation coming dur-
ing the growing season from Arril
to September and the remainder be-
ing amply sufficient to keep the soil
In working shape through the winter
toil
Coal county laud is conceded to be
the finest agricultural section of east
ern Oklahoma Its lands are CStceed-
Insly fertile and produce a greater
diversion of crops abundantly than
any other part The sell varies from
two to ten feet In depth and runs
from a chocolate to a black In color
It is mostly a sandy loam with deep
clay subsoil absorbing large quanti-
ties of water to lose It very slowly by
evaporation This is because of the
tendency of the soil to loosen up on
top and form a natural dust mulch
which prevents a quick evaporation
What is known as Ash Fiat Is a body
of black prairie land beginning ten
miles west of Coaigate six to seven
miles wide and extendlug across the
county from north to south It is one
of the most desirable farming sec-
tions In the entire southwest
Timber
The timber interests of Coal county
are something simply Immense and
the percentage of timber which has
been cut to date Is influiteslmal In
every portion of the county except
on tho prairies can be found vast
stretches of valuable oak ash hick-
ory pecan cottonwood black gum
elm hackberry walnut and bois d are
There la enough of this timber to sup-
ply numerous mills and hardwood
factories for ages to come and Its
presence is attracting many valuable
enterprises to locate hore
Crops and Grains
Cotton which with com is the
leading crop of the county is raised
with as little work as in any part of
the smith and is one of the surest
crops known Tho nature of the
soils Is such that one man with a
good team can tend thirty acres with
a little help at chopping time The
prices average $50 per 500-pound bale
and the yield is ‘usually one-half bale
to ths acre Althorgh more care and
work is necessary to raise a crop of
com than some others It Is now a
rival of cotton in this county and it
Is said that on account of an increas-
ed acreage being put out it will soon
be at the head of the list Coal coun-
ty land can be depended upon to pro-
duce a good crop of corn in most any
season the yield being from flrteen
to fifty bushels and the price averag-
ing 50 cents Although the land is
almost unsurpassed in its productive-
ness but little millet oats wheat and
plfalfa is grown but the quality is not
excelled anywhere Alfalfa promises
to be a leading crop In the course of
a few ears ns well as the others
being large grown by tho progressive
and energetic farmers comlrg from
the north rnd east who come here
with the intention of working and
making money In potatoes and on-
ions a great deal of money may be
made by the man who will properly
cultivate these crops Two hundred
and fifty bushels of sweet potatoes
may be easily raised from an acre
here 200 bushels of Irish potatoes
and 200 bushels of onions These all
bring good prices and have a constant
nnd steady market the year around
As regards water-melons the possi-
bilities are best Illustrated by the
fact that one farmer who was not
making a business of regularly rais-
ing them for the market in one sea-
son shipped $1500 worth of water-
melons which he raised from twenty
acres of ground ind they may be
grown side by side with the best can-
taloupes in the southwest
Fruits and Vegetables
Coal county lies in direct line with
the great fruit belt that sweeps across
the United States from Delaware to
California Southwest Missouri and
Arkansas are noted for fine apples
yet Just aa fine specimen of apples
can be grown here The climatic con-
ditions are admirably suited for this
fruit and here it attains the highest
perfection Peaches pears apricots
nnd grapes thrive and here is tbs
adopted borne of the lucious Elbert
the best and most profitable peach
known to the fruit grower Berries
of all kinds grow perfectly reach a
stage of perfection truly marvelous
Contiguous markets can utilize every
crate of berries that can he grown in
Coal county and the prices for same
will always be remunerative The
soils of the country are especially
adapted for fruit and berry growing
and ere many years orchards vine-
yards and berry patches will dot
every hillslle Vegetables of every
description are grown here to perfec-
tion and if a farmer will diversify
his crops bs cannot pitch bis tent
anywhere on earth that will afford
him n maximum of the pleasures of
life with the minimum effort display-
ed Strawberries are enormously
prolific and profitable The truck
fnrmcr and fruit grower who gives
Intelligent attention to his business
bos something to sell every month In
Ihe year nnd that which can not be
disposed of at home finds ready mar-
ket In nearby cities easily and quick-
ly reached by railroads J F Os-
born a renter on (be Widow Parker
place near Coaigate marketed two
crops of watermelons this season the
second crop being grown from seeds
of the first crop On the 21st day of
November n wagon load of watermel-
ons turnips nnd tomatoes was mar
keted In Coaigate th growing net-
ting handsome profits from his enter-
prise f 'I
Stock Raising
Coal county offers many Induce-
ments to ths small farmer who wishes
to mix stork raising with tho regular
routine of farm work By dlveralfl-
cution of crops green feed can be had
the year around and abundant crops
of forage can be grown on most any
soil Winter pasture ran he bad by
sowing wheat rye and other winter
crops and these are helped rather
than retarded by being postured oil
during the winter The livestock In-
terests have undergone a marked
change during the lost fow years and
nil stock is rapidly becoming better
bred and graded The longhum of
the post has given way to the thor-
oughbred and evidences of grading
ran bo seen in every locality The
Hereford Shorthorn Durham Red
Polled and the ever-popular Jersey
can be seen on every hand The short
cold season will always be an impor-
tant factor In tbs wintering over of
Mock in this section Much loss feed
Is required and the stock come out
better in the spring than in any of
the northern cattle districts
No ether part of the country ex-
cels this in the opportunity it afford
for the profitable raising of hogs and
there Is not a fai m in tbe county upon
which hogs can uot be raised profit-
ably from tbe first at a very mini-
mum of expense There ran be an
ever-ready abundance of cheaply
grown food available at all aeasona of
the year which can be harvested by
the hogs themselves and full two-
thirds their weight can be made by
greep pasture and at less than one-
half the cost of grain feeding By
sowing oats cane cowpeas rape rye
etc green feed can be had almost
the entire year and hogs may be
raised to maturity without grain and
then finished off for market with
kafir maize or corn at a very small
cost Two Utters are often raised
from each sow per year and the Berk-
shire Poland China and Du roc are
he lending breeds
In quality and value the horses and
mules of this section will compare
most favorably with those of any
other stute in the union There is
always a good demand for horses of
medium weight and good form ami
action Coal county horses and
mules are far above the average and
ail farmers are constantly improving
the standard of their stock Although
we have very fine specimens of horse
flesh in both driving and work horses
tho I’ercheron Coach English Draft
x:d the Saddler are the leading
breeds Some of the finest mules of
the entire country are produced In
Coal county and these always com-
mand fancy prices
The raising of theep while not car-
ried on very extensively conld be
made very profitable In some parts
of the county there are a few good
bunches of Angora goats and both
sheep and goats do well here in their
different locations
Farm Land
Probably 80 per cent of tbe land in
Cent county would be classed as first-
class agricultural land and practi-
cally all of the remainder Is valuable
as grazing lard Certain portions are
mountainous and broken forming nat-
ural and favorable conditions for
sheep and Angora goats and available
for stock and hog raising
Not more than 25 per cent of the
atrriculturil land Is in cultivation at
his time but every season adds its
new quota to the tilled acreage and
while vacant land is plentiful now tbe
time is not far distant when the sur-
p'usage will be practically wiped out
hence it is the plan of wisdom to act
quickly If you desire 'be pick and
choice at prevailing low prices
No part of the new state offers
bettor Inducements for independent
borne building than Coal county Here
a great deal of land can be bought
lor from $500 to $3000 per acre ac-
cording to location and Improvements
Fcr thosa without the means to pur-
chase even at those figures lenses
can be made at a very low rate and
good tracts of lend can be rented at
from $2 to $4 per acre or worked on
shares of one-third of cotton and one-
fourth in corn yielding handsome
profits to the energetic worker
No better farming land can be had
than that of Coal county and there Is
no more independent living today
than that of the farmer located on a
fertile farm of eighty to 150 acres In
this county His mind is at ease be-
cause In bis heart he knows that his
farm is a sure and unfailing source
of Income at all time even during
industrial strife and commercial de-
pression as well as in the hoydey of
our country's prosperity To tbe man
of large means who wishes to change
bis location and go on a farm to the
man who wishes to sell bis high-
priced land and go where land Is
cheaper and to the renter who pays
from (4 to $8 cosh rent— we say come
to Coal county where you can get
climate with your farm — it costs no
more whre you can have winter
pasture for your stock where you do
cot feed up everything you raise
where you ran have good morkets
good schools good churches good or-
der good society good business op-
portunities for tbe young and old
where livestock does well and where
veu can rals from one to four crops
every year where you ran raise Any-
thing In abundance on land which
you can get cheaply and which will
double lu value in tbe next three
yeare Come while prlcce are only
half up the Hue and beet of all
where you will have a climate that
will permit you to work 104) days In

' Mining Industries
Coal-mining in Indian Territory on
a commercial scale began In the vi-
cinity of McAlester with the building
of the Missouri Kansas and Texas
railroad In 1872 Active mining oper-
ations began at Savannah and Lehigh
in 1H8L Tbe development at Coaigate
followed that at Lehigh The coal aa
mined In this field varies from 4 to 5
fe-t in thickness
The deposits have a hard ahale roof
and floor and but little water or gas
Is encountered In tbe mines Tbe
coal Is clean an! mines In blocks and
is sufficiently bard for successful ship-
ping and is classed as a high grade
bituminous coal Tbe structure of
tbe rock in this district Is such that
cool can be mined both from slope
and shaft
The coal In the Coaigate district
occupies a higher position in the
strata than the McAlester coals which
usually lie about 1000 feet from tbe
surface The outcrop of the fetrata
Is continuous between this locality
and the McAlester district but on
account of the disturbed conditions of
the rocks the coal cannot be success-
fully traced la the east side of the
Coaigate synecllne or basin the rocks
are tilted toward the west alomst to
a vertical position From the south
end of the basin northward the Coal
dips generally as low as 4 degrees
and the surface of tho country Is
nearly level Northeast of Coaigate
tbe rocks rise in nn elliptical dome-
like structure in tbe Coaigate anti-
cline bringing up the coal In both
sides of the fold for a distance of six
miles Front Coaigate the coal strikes
westward and the dip increases -
The area which this great coal field
rovers has now been prospected to
such an extent as to determine that it
covers at least forty square miles It
la however known that outside of
the land wnirh was segregated and
set aalde as coal land there is many
of the allotments of the cititene
which In time will be developed and
will produce coal in as great quanti-
ties as any of tbe mines now being
worked As far out as Nixon coal
has been located probably that of the
Cavanai formation
The Coaigate Company has now
employed In this field 200 operatives
and the M K A T Coal department
gives employment to 900 men The
pay rolls of these two corporations
aggregate front $75000 to $100000
monthly and In some seasons they
have paid out as much as $125000
monthly There is more coal shipped
from Coaigate according to tbe re-
ports of tbe commissioner of com-
merce than from any one point in
the West or Southwest Mine No 5
operated by the Coaigate Company
loented near the Choctaw depot is
pronounced by those who have in-
spected mines in different parts of
the country to bo the best equipped
mine west of the Mississippi river
It has the latest and best improved
engine and hoisting apparatus is
lighted with electricity and is pro-
vided with every appliance that will
make mining safe profitable and
comfortable to the miner Tbe devel-
opments of the coal deposits have
only begun and the next few years
will witness some remarkable strides
in this direction
Asphalt in abundance and of super-
ior quality baa been located in this
county and when tbe deposits have
been developed and tbe product put
upon tho markat this will be one of
the most important industries in the
entire southwest
Outcroppings of lead and zinc have
been discovered In different localities
and there is every Indication of oil
and gns in Coal county and many dif-
ferent kinds of stone are here in Urge
quantities
In tbe western portion of Coal coun-
ty are enormous deposits of man-
ganese that has been pronounced by
experts to be of tbe most superior
quality Iron ore deposits are also
enormous Eastern manufacturers
have examined these fields and are
convinced of the fact that It Is only
a question of time -when these raw
materials will become the basis of
very important industries
Glass sand brick ahale granite
limestone cement rock marble and
other valuable minerals are abundant

they do custom grinding
Thla firm are sole owners end man-
afseturera of the Blue Ribbon Churn
their own patent and are giving their
greatest attention to thld highly suc-
cessful invention A cut of the churn
In shown with thin article It is the
simplest practical device that has
ever beqa offered to the ftubllc which
Is saying a great dial when the vast
number of patent churns that have
been put upon the market la taken
into consideration The leading prin-
ciple in this Invention la simplicity—
of construction nnd effectiveness in
operation From five to fifteen min-
utes owing to the condition of the
milk is nil the time necessary for
churning nnd when fluisbed the but-
ter Is In a solid mass' not scattered
panicles that have to be gathered
after churning The Blue Ribbon Is
a standard churn deulgnej to ault
the people who use it and not to sell
regardless of its usefulness The
work Is done by turning n crank-
rotary power— which la so easy la
opt ration thnt a five-year-old child or
an aged and infirm woman can man-
ipulate It without fatlguo The dash
has a semi-rotary motion— turning In
one direction when descending and in
the opposite when nsrendlng giving
a thorough distribution of air through
the milk and bringing perfect results
with a minimum of labor The ma-
chine is so simple In construction
that every part Is easily kept clean
and sweet and tbe finish Is such that
it will be an ornament in any house
hold Among ail the patent churns
which have been candidates for pop-
ular favor not one has the practical
common-sense mechanical principle
the ease of manlpulntlon and the thor-
oughness of work that the Blue Rib-
bon has After tbe most practical
and exhaustive tests this machine baa
demonstrated Its superiority over all
others and it is only a question of
time when it will be an lmportaul
factor In the domestic affairs of every
family In the country making butter
for home use or the market's
The manufacturers are rapidly com-
pleting arrangements for getting tbe
Blue Ribbon before tbe people through
agencies They will convey territor-
ial rights to agents and protest said
agents In all their rights Tbe man-
ufacturing wilt be done at the firm's
plant In Coaigate and the flnlehed
churns furnished to agents in such
quanties as may be desired
This is an important industry to
Coaigate promising to grow rapidly
and add to the bucket brigade of tbe
community Every one knows the
value of factories to tbe town and
every one should be ready lo lend en-
couragement to every enterprise that
is backed with all the eleiuenta of
success like this one la
