declared to bt the richest oil find !n
the world, is lacoted near at hand. So

It was foun,d running to waste. On
the visit to this field kiefer, the ten'-
e>d city, was looked upon: The West-
ern Union telegraph office is in a box
car and the Frist National bank is in a
ifhack. The freight receipts at this
tented city, on Incoming material only
is $60,000 a mon,th Ninety cars of
freight arrive daily at the'parent city,
Sapulua, which is a great distributing
poir\t for the Rock Island railroad. The
entertainment -here, which was of the
most royal kind, was by the chamber
of commerce a pride of the city was
found to be a railroad Y. M. C. A.
building. The business men there were
very much'alive and of the hustling
kind.
Sapulpa sent a reception committee
composed of P. J. Hitt, chairman;
Fred Fendler, John Egan and Ed Rey-
nolds. to Chandler to meet the Chicago
visitors and escort them to their city
Pioneer Magic.
Tulsa, another Indian Territory city,
with its population of 15,000 was the
next point to open, its arms to the dele-
gr^tion This city had been in nrtnd be-
cause of the fact that two years
ag">, when some of Its people visited
• Chicago they said that where three
fears before only a flagpole stood they
had created a city of 3,000. In spite of
this wonderful achievement 15,000
hardly were looked for.
In this city of such wonderful growth
Ihere was found every up-to-date im-
provemnet—fine store buildings, at-
tractive public structures, residences,
truly palatiaf There* Is great organi-
sation here, the business blocks con-
forming in architecture, and every-
thing laid out with a view to grace aij«l
beauty. They have an exceptionally
fine hotel where, at a banquet served
in the evening, It was,shown that the
surrounding crib n try is rich in natu-
ra! resources, oil coal, and minerals.
The entertainment committee here
f was composed of Col. D. R. Sleeper,
•ha irman; Harold Rose, E. C. Reynolds,
J. Lyon Gartner, E. S. Crawford, Geo-
rge T. Williamson and J. H. Simmons,
who met#the Chicago excursionists at

Pawnee and Perry.
Pawnee and Its 3,000 people hext
granted a welcome to the visitors. A
late train made the f.top here little
long enough to show a center of com-
mercial acticity that interested the.del-
egation All about the country were
evidences if developrrunt and Indus-
try that showed a wonderful future for
that bectlon^ The reception commit-
tee lieare was composed of J. A Har-
rison c. H. Stewart, W. W. Green, C.
P. Rock, J. W. Teted and J N. Sheuler.
Four thousand people acorded a
hearty welcome to the visitors as they
entered Perry, Okla. Formal reception
was provided through a committee com

wide-awake city was found, with a
chamber of commerce that kept thing3
constantly moving. The entertainment
included a *lne dinner at the leading
hotel and a spirited meeting at the
Elks hall There were 150 business
men present and among the talkers was
the territorial representative* in con-
gress. •
Realm of the White Breeder.
The city is equipped with a great
flour mill with a capacity of 400 bar*
rels a day and a modern elevator with
a capacity of 150,000 bushels. Flour
is exported to Liverpool and London.
Other business enterprises add to the
lively appeaiVTice to things. The city
is one of trees and parks, a square
of three acres adorning the cen,ter --f
the place, with the business section
built around it. The surrounding coun-
try is the home of the horse breeders
of Oklahoma.
The "One Hundred and One."
The soil produces abundant crops
of wheat, corn, coton, oats and al-
falfa. Wheat is the principal crop, how
ever, *1.*00,000 bushels being harvested
in the county last year. In this coun-
ty the famoup "101" ranch is located.
The larger part of its 70,000 acres lie
within the boundaries. On its broad
expanse 10,000 acres of wheat are grow
ing, 3.00 acres of corn may be seen,
300 farm hanfls afe employed Ttndl5,
000 cattle are fed.

entertained with a tallyho ride over
V-autiful streets paved with asDhalt
and lined with handsome residences.
There are car lines and fine stores. One
of the beautiful residences, that of Mr.
Stone, a jeweler, was thrown open to
the delegation and rewreshments were
served in the midst of the tallyho ride
" The reception committee consisted of
R. W. Dick, Coly. Sydney Suggs, R. L.

Minerals at McAlester.
McAlester Is the place where the coal
supply lies, and *he place was referred
to by the returning delegates as "the
Pittsburg of the West." The Chicago
party reached this city of 15,000 Pop-
ple, every man, woman gn/i child of
them wide awake, to find a cordial re-
ception that made them proud. On
their way in. when the train stopped at
Haileyvile, a committee composed of
T. W. Gulickf secretary of the cham-
ber <>f commerce; Harry Clark, B. L.

Frank Craig and A. IT. Thomas board-
er the private car and boomed McAl-
so hard for the remainder of the ride
that the visitors were prepared for
much, but even then not for all that
awaited them.

mineral belt so far fouiy! In the south-
west. An apparently Inexhaustible sup-
ply or iron or underlies the ground with

'hat a cays from 48 to 98 per cent. Man-
ganese and limesatone are there In
abundance, and seven companies now
;'re c'.riling both for oil and gas within
a radius of ten miles, all fully confident
hey will succeed. There Is much man-
ufacturing, tht supply of coal proving
a great'magnet for factories.
A Masonic Temple Indeed.
Turning to the city itself, one of the
sights to meet the eye is a fine Masonic
temple, erected at a cost of $200,000 and
containing a $20,000 pipe organ. It*
business houses are well stocked and
attractive, and some idea of the volume
of business they do was gained from
the statement that the payrolls of the
mines in the county reach approxi-
mately $750,000 a month, and that near-
ly every cent of that finds its way Into
McAlester merchantiie establishments.
The business section oi the city is built
with a view of stability ar.-l attractive-
ness, and stores were seen that were
as metropolitan in appearance as those
in the large cities farther east The
residence section, too, shows that the
•psidonts believe in. comfort, and, in
many cases, luxury. Some of the homes
properly belong in the class of mans-
ions. It Is to be presumed that be-
cause the southwest Is new it ignores
social conventionalities. This was dis-
covered to the embarras'ment of the
delegation when, at a formal and splco,
did dir.ne^ at McAlester, the visitors
chanced to find themselves without
evening dress. Not so their hosts of
McAlester.
Growth Extraordinary.
Muskogee came next and her<- there
were new surprises. A city of
its people make no mistake when they
say it is "wide awake, up-to-date, as
cosmopolitan as New York, and a.-
hustling iXA Chicago." The delegation
came home declaring this characteriza-
tion of the city of 5,000 in li'UO has
grown to five times that size in sevn
years, and is now growing so rapidly
that in a single night there seems an
increase in size.
It is the official capital of the Indian
Territory. The Dawes commision, sit1-
thorp, and all ofllcial business with the
five tribes must be transacted there. It
Is a great railroad distributing renter,
and Is In the center of rich agriculture

that the ctly stands at the h"al1"

\N nile M^iAlester Is the center of

tion, and Justly. ;is a manufacturing
center. Shawnee boasts of being the
great agricultural point in the list. Its
claim Is wholly justified. There is
nothing the soli will produce that may
iy>t be found in this rich territory. Cot-
ton In abundance, and corn, wheat and
potatoes in great quantities—such Is
the story of the year's products. The
city Is the railway and market center
Tor the cotton district, and the cotton of
thls#sectIon Is of such fine grade that
it commands a premium when it
reaches New Orleans, New York *r
Liverpool. The county grew 65,000
bales of cotton, worth $3,250,000, in 190'3.
Two Potato Crops Yearly.
When it comes to,potatoes the far-
mers of the scctlon crow#long and loud.
T.hey raise two crops In one season,
which mearys huge returns from the
land, and they shipped 1,000 carloads
In 1906. It Is said a yleki of 250 to
325 bushels an acre is not unusual, and
they frequently sell at from 60 to 75
cents a bushel. The raising of mules
is another industry that reached large
proportions last year, six firms han-
dling more than 5,000 animals.
The city Is financially and commerc-
ially strong. Its banks had resources
February 1., this year of $2,775,597 and
abundance of transportation and hand-
some passenger stations. There is i
system of interurban railways; ther
are good public schools, a free public
library ar,i a wealth of good churches
Thn city is one of culture and re-
finement, its business men are solid
and its commercial condition has won
the admiration of the money centers
of the country farther east. Some fac-
tories are being established,, twenty-
seven already beliy* in operation, their
payrolls for 1906 aggregatir/j 81 -

of the hour It was necessary to fore? .

here was a bevy of high school girls
who met the train and piryied a flower

stop was onr of t&o most pleasant of
the entire trip.
As the delegation trayersed the way
home again the membrs held a meet-
ing for tl]e pi.rpose of con pa ring notes
on the impresions gained from the trip.
All manner of things were discussed
and when all had been said. Chairman
Moody drafted a report which was sub-
mitted to the association at the first
meeting of its Ways and Means Corn-
mi tee The meeting was largely at-
tended and the many references to the
greatues of the cities visited were
heartily applauded. At the close of the
reading Mr. Moody said the report was
a representation,of what they bad set m,
but that it was too conservative. The
other delegates approved that remark
The repoiM is as follows:
Chairman Moody's Report.
"It is the opinion of your delegation
that the purpose of the trip into Okla-
homa and Indian Territory was accom-
plished beyond a shadow of a# doubt.
The delegatfon was well balanced an I
a unit I- all Its in I rt iki an I eac h
man, sinking his idenity and that of the
individual establishment with which
he was connected, preached the gos-
pel of Chicago, the Great Central Mar-
ket and the mutual advantages which
would follow from closer commercial
and social relations between^ the twi
sections . •
"We ^vere everywhere received with
marked cordiality. The mere fact 'n
itself that a party of business Chleago-
ans felt a sufficient interest to let^ve
their private affairs and visit that sec-
tion was freely and favorably com-
mented upon, resulting, I believe, In
the forming of many strong business
friendships for the Chicago market and
dissipating the feeling that our busi-
ness men ate too busy piling up dollars
to be interested in anything or anybody
outside of their own immediate busi-
ness domain.
"The merchants in the towns visit-
ed were alsi Impresed with the dignifi-
ed manner in which our totfr was con-
ducted, and we were frequently told
that our delegation created a mut i
more favorable impresion than similar

try with a brass band and a train-

pose of securing orders and talking

THE FULL BLOODS
AGAINST CONSTITUTION
Muskogee, I. T., July 2.—A prominent
federal official said yesterday:
"In the election for tho adoption or
rejection of tho constitution of the
proposed state of Oklahoma, twenty
thousand Indian votes will have to be
reckoned with, as the committees act-
ing for the Indians of the different na-
tions of the tlve civilized tribes have
passed resolutions pledged to vote
against the document.
"The Indians have never desired
statehood and especially with Oklaho-
ma. They have fought the proposition
all along and In the election for dele-
gates to the constitutional convention
last November, the full blood element
refused to go to the polls, notwithstand-
ing the fact that In the Cherokee na-
tion one of their own number, a full
blood and an exceptionally bright and
intelligent man was a candidate*for del-
egate. .
"These Indians take the stand that
the white man In the Indian Territory*
Is an intruder and has no right to dic-
tate to them what they shall do with
theif lands, or make them pay taxes,
the latter being the principal place
where the shoe pinches. The full blood
element realized when the allot Ing and*
distribution of their lands were begun
by the Dawes commission more than
ten years ago, statehood for the Indian
Territory would follow Inevitably, and
for this reason they have fought the al-
lot Ing of lands both here and in Wasn-
ington, all of which have availed them
nothing, and as a last resort, they pro-
post to vote against the constitution.
Should the document carry by a ma-
jorfty vote of the people, the Indians
say they will bow to the Inevitable and
many of them are making arrangements
to move to Old Mexico should this oc-
cur. In these preparations are included
applications for the removal of the
restrictions from their surplus ajloi-
ments so that#they will be able to sell
these* lands. Th^Ir homestead^ are * In
alienable for a period of twenty-five
years and they will turn these over to

some agent who will see to the leasing
of tho surne for them from time to
time. The state of San Louis Potosl,
In Old Mexico seems to be the objec-
tive point for these Indians, and the
fact that President Diaz has held out
special inducements to them has en-
couraged them In their determination
to not be governed In their own coun-
try-by the white people. These Indians
have cherished the Idea for a long time
of emigrating to Old Mexico, but have
been prevented from doing so on ac-
count of not being able to dispose of
their lands or put up the same as col-
lateral in payment for lands In tho
Mexican republic. As soon as they get
their restrictions removed they will bo
able to sell their lands and buy thero
or trade the same for Old Mexico land,
as a number of land • compunles have
signified a willingness to trade lands In
the Mexiean republic for Indian Terri-
tory land and will do so as soon .is
they fc&n get a clear title to th4 aame.
"Now that seventeen states repre-
sented at Denver recently In the puhll •
lands convention have gone on record
for the removal of the restrictions from
the lands of the Indians of the five civ-
ilized tribes, and the fact that Secretary
of the Interior Garfield was present
when the resolution was passed, who
has opposed the removal of restrictions
all «along, there Is lltth* doubt that this
will not be accomplished at the first ses-
sion of congress. When this Is done,
beyond the question of* a doubt the In-
dians, and especially the full bloods, will
giVe the people of the proposed state
of Oklahoma ver£ little tr able In tlte
