"If St. Louie had a town like Sand
Springe" .said Mr. Blddle "and it was
ai close to the city as Sand Springs la
to Tulsa. St. Louis would feel proud
of her auburb."
The purpoaea of the trip according
to the officials was to secure Oral
hand Information concerning condi-
tions along the Frisco In the south-
wist. They visited Tulsa because the
PrIaCO does a turner volume of luisi-
ness at this point than any other sta-
tion on the Prtaco lines in this atate
"I visit your city about twice a
year" remarked Mr. Blddle while
waiting far a Sand springs ear "and
each lime I come here it looks
bigger."
He was asked concerning crop con-
ditions in i iklahomn.
"Simply immense." he replied.
"The wheat harvest Is going to be a
rec ord breaker The Hessian fly has
done some damage In spots and the
heavy rains have damaged a few
fields hut the total average crop is
going tO astound the world. Cotton
is a little late but doing fine while
the corn crop is going to be bigger
than this state has ever hefore expe-
rienced." Receivers Limited
"I iocs the Frisco contemplate any
Improvements In this state?"
"It does not. The receivers have
no other alternative."
"Will there be reorganisation
Boon ?"
"You know us much about that as
1 do. We act for the court and have
nothing to do with any contemplated
reorgansatlon."
Mr. Middle was gratified to learn
thai K I. Levy general manager of
the road while in Tulsa recently de-
cided to hold his next conference Of
Prlaco division offlciiis in this city.
He also referred to the loyalty of
Frisco employes.
"Every man on the line" he de-
clared "takes a personal Interest In

which they have built up a splendid
organisation and one that makes the
Frisco sound and assures maximum

ment by the French in the region of
the "Labyrinth" which has continued
like the ceaseless roll of thunder for
several days was drowned to the ear
early this morning by the nearer roll
of heavy artillery preparations for
an attack accompanlng the offensive
of the allies ut two points on tho
Dritish front where for several days
we hud only a sniping exchange of
rifle and machine gun shots between
trenches and Of shells between bat-
teries und a lull In the siege war-
fare. At the transfer station for am-
munition the most significant point
lu the rear when an action Is under-
way all hands were busy through tho
tilght. Motor trucks were running
from tho rail-head feeding the guns
us they concentrated on the Qerman
trenches tearing (hem apart with
high explosive shells and bathing
(hem with shrapnel before the Infan-
try charged.
An attack in tho sector of Hooge
was made along a front of three-quarters
.ii a mile. Tim front line trenches
and a German salient wore carried
and also a length of tho second lino.
The number of prisoners taken has
not yet been staled.
In the Festubert region also tho
first line of trenches was taken and
tho second penetrated in purts but
the ground gained had to be yielded.
Through tho day there was only
desultory firing until mld-aftornoon

newal of tho bombardment. In the

MUNITIONS BILL
GIVEN APPROVAL
LONDON June IS. (3:20 a m.)
The greatest interest is being mani-
fested in the "labor for munitions
bill" which David Lloyd George the
minister of munitions will introduce
in the house of commons next
Wednesday.
The bill will provide for munition
courts or committees composed of
equal numbers of representatives of
employers and workmen empowered
to punish by small fines offenses by
ordinary munitions workmen which
hinder production but not by im-
prisonment. Tho employers will bo allowed
profits on an average of the past three
years plus one-fifth of that average
und un allowance for depreciation of
machinery. Any surplus profit will
be attached by tho government.
Tho bill will be operative only for
(he duration of the war. The Times
Commenting of these provisions says;
"The scheme Is one of the most re-
markable in the history of labor leg-
islation It will give a measure of of-
ficial countenance to trades unions
suh us they never enjoyed before.
The trade union leaders will almost
certainly embark upon the scheme
willingly knowing the only possible
alternative is state compulsion."
CARRANZA WILL SOON
WIN SAYS MIRELES
ONE reason people prefer Tulsa is
that so few doctors are able to
make a living here.
Seven years ago fifty-three had offices in TuUa popu-
lation 12000 j today I'nl.v twenty -gix inure are here yel Tulsa
is three times as large as u was then. This city's death rate
is lower than any other of its class in the entire middle-
west. Where doctors starve for lack of patients the rest of
us should live to ripe old age.
Along money making lines however the figures by com
parison tell another story of Tulsa's chief industry.
In 1908 when Glenn pool had the world beaten 126 oil
anil gas operators made headquarters in Tulsa. Today four
times tiiMt number or. to be exact 197 producing oil com
panics have offices in Tulsa. Seven years ago most members
of the ml fraternity lived at lintels; now the majority have
their families in Tulsa Hundreds have Intill homes of their
own here.
Others who have not yet done so are planning to build
upon
MAPLE RIDGE
an unusually attractive section of the city where values are
certain to climb very rapidly.
Here $15 to $25 a foot buys a beautiful site.
There is nothing like it elsewhere in Tulsa It is but
five minutes south of the postoffice up on the high elevaMon
two blocks east of Boston and Eighteenth. Maple Ridge has
all street improvements and every purchaser is protected by
most stringent building restrictions.
