“Made in Tulsa, U. S. A.,’’ is an
inscription that looks good on
machinery and other manufactureJ
articles being shipped out from this
city.
It, or its equivalent, will be on the
portable steam drilling outfits and
other machinery to be shipped from
Tulsa. The National Drill and
Manufacturing company has changed
its name to the Western Well Tool
and Machine company and has moved
its headquarters from New York to
this city. The general offices will
occupy the entire second story front
of the new Archer building on Main
street.
All their portable steam drills are
being re-lettered and hereafter every
one that goes out will have "Tulsa" j
on It. Incidentally it may be said
the Western Well Tool and Machine
company believes in signs and has
Finney at work on $ 150 worth of
them, including handsome gold le -
tering on the windows of their gen-
eral offices and some ltsrse signs
5x60 feet on their main factory
building on the Frisco right of way
near Boulder avenue.
WAS A BARGAIN
The institution started a year ago
in Tulsa, and was secured by putting
up a bonus of $700 to build the
buildings o> > upied. This wa-v ecu cd
by the lot drawing scheme,, and was
a ready money getter. It turns out
that Tulsa has secured for the invest-
ment something that is really worth
while.
All of Ihe efforts of this enterprise
are to be centered here. Three plan's
are being combined and every pat t
of the business is to be transacted
through the local office.
In addition to doing a genera! oil
well supply business, and general re-
pairing in this line, the institution
does a general repair business in ail
sorts of branches, including engine,
boiler and general machine repair-
ing.

mission before the police arrived.
Six members of the crew and two offi-
cers were arrested and held as wit-
nesses.

WASHINGTON, March 8.—Whc
the senate convened today Senator P.
J. McCumber, of North Dakota, begau
a speech on the statehood bill. Only
a few senators were present. Sena-
tor McCumber introduced his speech
by presenting a substitute for thb
statehood bill, creating one state of
Oklahoma and another of Indian Ter-
ritory, the latter under the name
Sequoyah and entirely eliminami:
new Mexico and Arizona.
He made an argument against the
consolidation of the territories into
fewer states, contending that more
western states were necessary to give
the agricultural and othe, trans-
Mississippi interests strong represen-
tation in congress.
OUTGROW THE EAST
He predicted in the near iutu.e ihe
west would have a much larger popu-
lation than the east. He said if the
present boundary lines were presernd
it would still be impossible to secure
as many states as there wer • east of
ill-.- Mississippi and therefore the biil-
a-me of power in the senate must
necessarily be against the western
section.
McCumber declared the time wouM
(orae when the east would tine! its
protection in the west. He referred
to thq influence of foreign immigra-
tion in eastern communities and -aid
its last election Chicago elected a
socialist as mayor.
Senator Patterson spoke in oppo-
sition to the house bill and devoted
his attention almost exclusively to
Arizopa and New Mexico.
All the hogs and all the cattle
country can supply will be killed at
the packing house, according to a
statement given ouot today by Fred
Frey, ot the Krey Packing Company,
who is also a large stockholder in
in the Tulsa Ice & Packing Company.
"At present, the plant will be
built to kill a hundred hogs and
twenty-five beeves a day. Whenever
the market buys more thar the kill-
ing capacity, then the plant wi'.! be
enlarged," said Mr. Krey, ana Dan
Murphy, of Los Angeles, and P. DC.
Ball, of St. Louis, both millionaire
investors in Tulsa, backed up the
statement of Mr. Krey.

ments for building the plant, it will ested in ‘ho plant—many of them -

Both Parser SLv: Been Un-
able to Pick Dut the Man for
thi Mayor Jcb—A Hot l ight
Candidates for offices are eptting
thick and some embryo would-be offl-
< Isis are getting their lightning rods
in the air.
Both parties have not been able
to draft a man Into service to run tor
mayor, though four have been Blated
for the honors. It Is proposed by
the republicans that Dr. Ayres or
Walter Reneau shall be a candidate
but there is something in the way of
the latter being a candidate. Aue
Reneau wants a job, and Counsin Abe
needs it, so Walter will object to be-
ing put on the ticket for fear it might
not set well with the Voters to put
the government into one family.
Among the democrats, there are
two men picked out. as winners, either
of whom would make a good mayor.
TWO DEMOCRATS
John R. Clark is the most talked
of, though several friends of J. M.
Cline are very anxious that he be the
nominee.
For marshal, it is said tljere will
bp two or more candidates on tile
democratic ticket. One is Wm.
Baber, a strong man, who has been
here for several years, and withal,
a clean cut candidate. He was so
Well lilted, he was offered a position
on the city police force by a republi-
can administration. The other is G.
E. Penn, the popular contractor. Penn
has been here about a year, but lie
has made good, and would make a
good officer.
On the republican ticket, there
seems to be no one with courage
enough to want the job when they
hear Abe Reneau Is a candidate.
Because of the important position
Cousin Walter holds in the party, lie
is able to boss the convention, and
will nominate whom lie pleases.
Several others would like to have
the nomination but see the cards all
shuffled and don’t cure about getting
into the game.
A HOT FIGHT
One of the hottest fights in town
Is the scrap between Rev. Hicks an A
Lawyer Stratford, both colored, who
are after the endorsement of ti e
“auxiliary” for alderman. Stratfoid
see.-.is to have a little of the best end
of the proposition, but the meeting
will be necessary to decide it.
Some of the republicans fearing
this part of the program have sent
McKee, the deposed party boss among
the negro voters, with a plea that it
would be very unpopular for the
negroes to ask such a favor of the
white people, because they are not
used to it. He urges that the negroes
wait until hext year, when they have
grown stronger, and then ask for
something better than a (ounciltnan
He even talks abou making a negro
mayor, in his effort to turn them
away from what they have set. out
to do.
McKee has been a trusted lieuten-
ant for a long time, but his power
seems lo be on the wane, for the *
efforts of the boss have been fruitless
Will Teach How to Mas©
Bread in Three Hours—Oth-
er Lessons in Culinary Al t
For $2, a woman may learn to
set bread, raise and hake it In less
than three hours. Every man who
has a wife who car. t, do that will
be ready to turn over the two plunks
to the ladles who are behind a cour.\
of seven lectures and demonstrations
on Practical Cookery, by Mrs. Sarah
Ament Dodson who Is to be in Tiusa
next week to teach the culinary art.
This amount will pay the entn®
hill, and the ladies who attend will
be taught all of the modern methods
In preparing good things to eat. One
lesson will be free.
The complimentary lesson will ho
given Tuesday, March 13, In the M.
E. Church, where the other lessons
will be given. All ladies In Tuisst
are Invited to attend the session, as
well as to join the class, which will
last through the week.
HAS REEN SUCCESSFUL
It Is claimed Mrs. Dodsons work
among the ladies of Chicago for
many years and the hearty endorse-
ment of her patrons has Induced her
to carry her work beyond Chicago,
that others may enjoy and profit by
her wonderful demonstrations. Her
success In Chicago has been unquali-
fied not only In public positions, but
her list of private patrons Includes
the leading society and club women
of her city. She was unanimously
chosen instructor by the board ot
directors for the Woman’s Refuge,
was also engaged for three succes-
sive terms for the Chicago Scho-1 of
Domestic Science, and would ha vs
umtinued in these positions indefi-
nitely but for the greater demands
from private patrons.
STAFF OF LIFE
In all the advancements made i»r
recent years nothing has progressed
as little as the science of breadmak-
iug, and in this one Item of food lief
the health and happiness of ou'
11 tion more than in any other aim
product.
Mrs. Dodson’s breadmakiug is tho
wonder of all her classes, and a per--
fect revelation.
She teaches how to set bread,,
raise and bake it in less than three-
hours. and to make the raised rod*
in less than one hour. This, too, is
pure, delicious, healthful. This ka-
son is alone worth the price of 'ha
whole course.
