GATES DISCUSSES OKLAHOMA
Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 9.—Chas.
G. Gates, son of the late John \V.
Gates, arrived by special train today
and learned that the corn crop had
increased mightily in value and added
many thousands of dollars to his
wealth. “I am torn by conflicting emo-
tions,” laughed Gates. "1 have a deep
suspicion and had it at the time that
that fellow wished the corn on me.
He wanted to get it off his hands.
There is some satisfaction in cleaning
up corn on a fellow who tries to wish
something onto you. On the other hand
so many thousands have been added
to my pile, and I must renew my ef-
forts to convince citizens of Minne-
apolis that 1 am simply Charlie Gates,
democrat.”
"Any excitement on the trip?" asked
a reporter. "Nothing but heat,” re-
sponded the young millionaire, “until
it was necessary for my mother and
me to go to Texas to sign some pa-
pers, so we swung around the circle
a bit, signed up and then looked over
Texas. Came up through Oklahoma.
For some time I have owned 3,000
acres of land in Oklahoma and I pup-
chased 6,000 more this trip.”
"Why?" asked the reporter. “I
thought Oklahoma crops had been a
failure for the last three, years and
Worse this year than ever.”
“Right, my boy,” responded Gates,
“but the time to buy is when the
oilier fellow is discouraged and wants
to get out of the game. Never buy
when the other fellow doesn’t want to
sell. Get the idea? Three years of no
crops. Everybody down in mouth.
Cinch there will be good crops. Got to
have a good year pretty soon. Good
time to buy. That's what I did.” Gates
hired an engine and three cars in
Kansas City yesterday, paid seventy-
five full fares, $775, and accompanied
by his mother made a quickrun over
the St. Paul. Leaving his mother in
Chicago a fresh engine was attached
and paying $600 additional he arriv-
ed in Minneapolis tl)i§ morning. "j am
just going to look at my house in
Minneapolis, and I don't like regular
trajns with wooden sleepers," he said.
