the Cox building. He is putting
the stone on the ground and has
erected temporary buildings to store
tools and for work shop. J. E.
Mason will erect a similar building
in the same block making a row of
buildings with 150 foot front on
the northwest cornet of the block.
J. A. Daboling will build a 25x60
foot stone business building for his
hardware business. His frame
building will be used for a ware
bouse. This will give him a build-
ing 140 feet in length, covering his
entire lot.
There are other business men
planning to build some business
buildings and others will build resi-
deuces, Dr. Turner and the Mc-
Millan Brothers have purchased
the Baker farm just east of Hallett
and are erecting three nice frame
residences. They are occupying
toomsjn the Clark building until
their new home is complete.
A. E. Whorton's six-room resi-
dence will soon be complete and
ready for occupancy. The First
Slate Bank of Hallett has the fix*
lures all installed and has been do-
ing a nice banking business for
' more than a week. Everyone is
using natural gas for fuel and light
and soon a number of industries
will be using gas for power.
Hallett has started to grow and is
building permanent buildings and
that is what it takes to make a good
town. When the hundred and
fifty foot stone business block is
complete and stocks of goods op-
ened in the six large rooms the
business of the new town will be
so increased that it will help all
lines of business and induce more
investors to move to Hallett.
J. W. and J. A.' Sewell of An-
uiston, Alabama will build three
residences and probably a business
building,
The class of visitors coming in
now are ot those who have capital
to invest and can build the town.
Sewell and son will engage in the

Regarding the report that the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas systems
of railroad had been merged with
that of the Rock Island, the Okla-
homa City Times publishes the
following from Mr. Meeker:
That the Rock Island-Frisco
combine holds no financial interest
in the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
road was the assertion of George R:
Hecker, district passenger agent of
the system here, on his return Mon-
day from the meeting of I he Amer-
ican Association of Traveling Pas-
senger Agents at Chicago. While
in St. Louis Mr. Hecker had a con-
ference with General Passenger
Agent W. S. St. George and other

for a water supply for all purposes for some time. The water supply for factories will be needed first as
there is now sufficient water supply from local wells for general purposes, but nothing short of a pipe line or
some very large wells would meet the f iCtory demands. Beside the stove factory and E. M. Lewis & Com-
pany's brick plant, general foundry and boiler and sheet metal works there have been two more brick plant
deals started. A proposition from lola, Kansas to locate a $75,000 plant is one of them. Mr. Lewis writes
that be will leave Anniston, Alabama next Tuesday for Hallett and is ready to do business. We referred
last week to his having machinery packed ready to ship to Hallett as soon as he could get switching facilities
put in on his factory sites just south of town. J. A. Daboling is preparing to take advantage of the cheap
fuel offered by natural gas and will begin the manufacture of lime at once. A kiln of some four hundred
barrels will be his first trial and will be ready for the markets within the next ten days. A creamery is needed
and the great amount of cream marketed here is interesting parties in putting in such a plant at Hallett. The
Hallett Gin Company has been doing a splendid burnett since the gac pipe line gave t^em gas for fuel and
Mr. Berry of Quay was here first of the w.-ek to select ground for a grain elevator and feed mill with a view
of operating it in connection with the gin company's plant.

are connccted, did not place th*
road under the control of the Rock
Island system.
In speaking of I he matter, Mr.
Hecker said: "While it has been
known for some time that tin*
'•Katy" system must eventually b^
allied with some strong railway in-
terest in this country in ordt r that
the property may be developed, the
federal laws forbid the purchase of
the property or the holding of stock
in the system by any competing
line. Hawley, Yoakum and the
Speyer brothers have !>een inter-

and Contractoi Kelty will w ith the
use of natural gas manufacture
lime, and Mr. Daboling has his
sand bins full of fine building sand
so that the materials of all kinds
for stone structural work is ready.
The Hallett Gin Company is
doing a great big cotton business
this year and Manager W. II.
Bellis says that there will be some
improvements made on the machin-
ery and the capacity doubled so
that the entire crop near Hallett
can be handled. The gin here has
paid the very highest prices this
season for cotton and as a result
the cotton business has increased
more than double what it was last
keeping, Business Training, Short- of this month they increased their
and shipped to creameries in Kan
sas. Hallett will handle more than
twice this amount as soon as some
of the big general stores start up
that are soon to locate with us.
The cream business would be much
bettei if we had a creamery here
where the butter could be manu-
factured here and a better price
paid for cream which would not on-
ly induce all the product to be
brought to Hallett but would induce
more to engage in the dairy busi-
ness.

"The man behind Rome. Wash-

tween Russia and Japan, which
won him the plaudits of the woild.
Every successful venture, no mat-
ter how humble, has "a man be-

the responsibility and plans the
campaign, who po*sesses those
qualities tkat bring success to him
in business.

"Messrs. Hawley and Yoaknm
have gone into the Missouri, Kan-

venture and neither the Rock
Island, Chesapeake or the Alton
systems will be interested in the

Texas road connects with the Rock

Rock Island could not be legally
