tory where it will have more room to
grow and that it is taking advantage
of its expansive opportunities one
has only to look and by merely look-
ing le^irn. Let us glance at the pro-
ductiveness of this new territory. In
1901 the surplus wheat equaled 30,000-
000 of bushels, and of the corn and
cotton crops there were 60,000,000
bushels of the former and 200,000 bales
of the latter. The taxable property
of the territory is valued at $70,000,000
and the actual wealth at nearly 1300,-
000,000. There are 2,500 public school
houses. The indebtedness of the terri-
tory in June last year was less than
$1 a head of the population.
It is for these reasons regarding the
condition of the country, coupled with
intelligent .efforts of the ‘.people in
developing the land, that the demand
is made for statehood and there is
every likelihood that the demand
will soon be complied with.—Live
Stock Indicator.
Oklahoma continues to creates sur-
prise. Its rapid development has
caused widespread comment and in-
creasing wonder. There wasta time
when the older states—the states bor-
dering anywherp on the Mississippi
river are now classed as old in com-
parison-had their days of wonder al
so assigned them, days when people
flocked from the New England states,
left the rocky, unprolitic soil and
settled upon the rich, yielding
prairies and other portions of the
West, but their day for wonderment
has passed. These old Mississippi
valley states have grown rich and
stately, and, like the patriarch of a
family, have become wise in their ac-
cumulated years, bestowing wisdom
upon the newer generation and
especially upon those who are leaving
the parent nest and taking up homes
in the newer and farther West. But
there are portions of this newer and
farther West that do not seem to
stand in need of instruction, or else
they laid in a stock of wisdom before
leaving the parent roof. Such is
Oklahoma. Minerva sprang ful
armed from the brain of Jove, so
Oklahoma sprang full fledged from
the older states. Its entrance into
the world was marked by no tenta-
tive, hesitating steps. Its duty, its
mission, its capacity were closely
studied and thoroughly known.
There was no halting determination.
To resolve was to act and well directed
action brought its just reward.
The territory has received atten-
ion in these columns on several oc-
casions, but the land is ever present-
ing such new features that resistance
in referring to them seems impossible.
It was in 1889 that the “boomers”
invaded Oklahoma. The next year
the population was 61,834, and in ten
years after that, in 1900, it had grown
to over 400,000 and may now be fairly
estimated at half a million. Jonah’s
gourd grew in a night. Oklahoma
sprang into population and importance
while the outside world was looking
on, being too busy with its own enter-
prises to notice the rapidity of its
growth.
Oklahoma is about the size of Ohio
—about 39,000 square miles. Its
people are not getting their first
lesson in the world’s progress. That
they had fully developed before they
started from their former homes.
They have only planted it in a terri-

That the rank and fil# of Geary
citizens are rolling in wealth is an
acknowledged fact, but the worm will
turn, and they are getting tired of mak-
ing and saving money in Geary and
blowing it in at Watonga, as they
are compelled to do the way they con-
duct court at that place. They sub-
poena a lot of people from here to ap-
pear there on a certain day for a case,
and then postpone same from day to
day. Well, they probably need capi-
tal at that burg.

Like a Drowning Man.
“Five years ago a disease the doctors
called dyspepsia took such hold of me
that I could scarcely go,” writes Geo.
S. Marsh, well-known attorney No-
cona, Tex. “I took quantities of
pepsin and other medicines but noth-
ing helped me. As a drowning man
grabs at a straw I grabbed at Kodol.
I felt an improvement at once and
after a few bottles am sound and well. ”
Kodol is the only preparation which
exactly reproduces the natural diges-
tive juices and consequently is the
only one which digests any good food
and cures any form of stomach trouble.
