Million Dollar Factory to Be Built In
Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City—With the issuance
of an incorporation certificate by Sec-
retary of State Bill Cross to the Okla-
homa Bag and Cotton Mills corpora-
tion the first step was taken, so the
incorporators and promoters claim,
for the up-building ot an industrial
suburb northeast of the city and the
building and operation of a million
dollar cotton mill and bag factory
which will employ possibly 500 peo-
ple to add to Oklahoma City's indus-
trial and commercial wealth.
This great enterprise has been un-
der consideration now for several
months and all of the plans possible
for its fruition have been made after
countless conferences, the quiet vis-
its oLjnany eastern capitalists and
cotton industry men to Oklahoma
City and the evolution of a local plan
of co-operation. Tne Oklahoma Bag
and Cotton Mills corporation begins
business with a capital stock of $1,-
000,000, the state being enriched in
the sum of $1,000 as fee for the neces-
sary papers. The incorporators are
M. L. Berry, formerly of South Car-
olina and now of Oklahoma City; F.
D. Ross, of Lawton; W. L. Gassoway
and John T. Woodside of Greenville,
S. C., and R. G. Gaines, of Central,

WILL BUILD LABOR TEMPLE
Organization is Perfected at Meeting
of Oklahoma City Unions
Oklahoma City—The labor union
convention, where all unions compris-
ing the Oklahoma City Trades Coun-
cil met for the purpose of organizing
a Labor Temple Building association,
has closed its final meeting. The
chief result of the convention was the
perfection of an active organization
to superintend the construction of a
Labor Temple in Oklahoma City.
The new organization will be
known as the Oklahoma City Labor
Temple association, which will be
chartered and capitalized at $10,000.
The association will devise ways and
means for tha raising ot funds for the
purchase of a suitable location in the
business district for the erection of a
labor temple, and then proceed with
construction. Several methods of
raising funds have been named,
though the only one to be put into ex-
ecution for the present will be the
sale of Labor Temple buttons, similar
to the recently distributed capital
booster buttons.
Stock in the new temple will be
floated, though no individual will be
permitted to invest ir same. All stock
must be held by the various constit-
uent unions of the Trades Council.
It is probable that individuals will be
personally assessed by the unions to
which they belong, though this mat-
ter has been made optional with the
separate unions.
Skiatook Excited Over New Oil Well
Tulsa, Okla.—The little town of
Skiatook, situated a few miles north
of Tulsa, and which is known as the
"Gateway to the Osage Nation," is
enthused over the prospects ot open-
ing an entirely new oil field in that
vicinity. Reports from there say that
a well was drilled in one mile south
of Skiatook which is producing 250
barrels an hour. The well is in en-
tirely new territory and is the first
to be drilled in that section.
Gets Additional Appropriation
Washington, D. C.—Senator Gore
secured the favorable report from the
Benate committee on public buildings
for an additional appropriation of
$170,000 for the Oklahoma City public
building. The appropriation has in
mind the purchase of an additional
site at a cost of $140,000 while the
remainder, $30,000, insures the use
, f first class building material, the
use of which has been impossible be-
cause of the meager appropriations.
Grand Jury Adjourns
Shawnee, Okla.—After returning 23
indictments and dismissing 16 charges
the district court grand jury ad-
journed.

Sapulpa, Okla.—Harry Taylor and

MORGAN WANTS MORE MONEY
Representative is Dissatisfied With
Amount Appropriated
Washington, D. C.—Representative
Morgan Is dissatisfied with the
amount ot money appropriated in the
house for the Oklahoma City federal
building. He feels that smaller cities
have been better treated. This Is
also shown in the tentative appropri-
ations for buildings in Oklahoma,
made public Thursday. Mr. Morgan
wants $40,000 more for the purchase
of good material for Oklahoma City's
building. The appropriations for
Oklahoma, as agreed upon, follow:
El Reno, $100,000; Kingfisher, $50,-
000; Blackwell, $50,000; Ardmore,
$150,000; Lawton, $152,300; Muskc*
gee, $360,000; Guthrie, $125,000; or a
total of $1,117,300. It is also possible
that the limit of cost of the Ardmore
building may bo raised to $187,000,
as the senate has already passed a
bill appropriating tihis amount for
that city.

BIG OIL COMPANY CHARTERED
Tulsa Company With $3,000,000 Cap-
ital Takes Out Charter
Oklahoma City—The Premier Pe-
troleum company, probably the larg-
est and wealthiest independent; con-
cern of its kind in the state, has been
granted a charter by Secretary of
State Bill Cross. The company has
a paid up capital of $3,000,000, and
intends to operate exclusively in Okla-
lioma. The state fee for filing of one-
tenth of one per cent amounts to
$3,000. This is one of the largest
foes ever received by the state for
granting a corporation a charter,
President Crosbie of the company,
when called at Tulsa, refused to give
out any information concerning the
detailed plans of the company or (
the fields in which it will operate,
but it is significant that he is the
mil-continent representative of the
Holland syndicate which controls
about a million dollars' worth of oil
leases in the vicinity of Tulsa. Much
Tulsa capital is also involved and the
fact that this large corporation will
operate as an independent company
points to an increasing keenness in
the war among Oklahoma oil inter-
ests.

Coalgate, Okla.—Members of the

association and the Segregated Land
association from practically every
town of consequence in the McAlester,
Coalgate and Wilburton mining dis-
tricts have gone to Washington to
lobby in the interest of a section of
the Burke omnibus measure providing
for the sale of the surface of the 500,-
000 acres of segregated coal land in
Oklahoma. The opposition of Senator
Owen to the section since the bill has
been in the hands of the senate com-
mittee has aroused tolerably general
indignation in the coal land district.
