BOOMING
OKLAHOMA
ROCK ISLAND IMMIGRATION
AGENT TELLS HOW EASTERN
PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED
STATEHOOD IS A GREAT BOON
To the Territories Railroads Are
Bringing Immigrants to Oklahoma
'Eastern people are rapidly be-
coming educated to the fact that
Oklahoma is not a pi ice whe-? the
average citizen carries a revolver
in his boots and is not the ren-
dezvous of bank robbersjand thiev-
es from all parts '.of the conritry"
said T. J Clark southwestern im-
migration agent-of the Rock Island
system who returned yesterday
after an absence of two weeks in
attendance at the Illinois state fair
at Springfield and the corn carnival
at Chicago's great amusement
place the White Citj .
'I was besieged by scores and
scores of people anxious for infor-
mation about Oklahoma. You
would be surprised to know that
they are pretty well informed of
conditions down here too. The
Oklahoma card in our booth at the
fair and also at the corn carnival
giving the figures of the corn crop
in Oklahoma this year was prom
inently displayed in our booth and
was read by nearly every one. An
average of 15000 people daily at
tended the state fair while it is
estimated that 5ooo people crowd
fi through the gates of the White
City daily to attend the carnival.
"Our immigration department
at Chicago is daily in receipt of
many inquiries about Oklahoma
and the southwest country and
particularly in regard to the open-
ing of the 'big pasture.'I am going
to prepare a revised list of pieces of
lands along the road in Oklahoma
and will submit it in a few days.
The bringing of new immigration
to these new points means an in-
creased business to Oklahoma City
wholesale houses and to the busi-
ness interests here. The industrial
department of the Rock Island has
been separated from the immigra-
tion department and placed in the
hands of an expert.
"As further proof of the fact
that the Rock Island is b:osting
this southwest country.I might tell
you that the Rock Island is going
to put into effect on the first Tues-
day in November a half rate plus
$2 for one way tickets to south-
west points. This rate will be in
effect on the first Tuesdays and
third Tuesdays homes-ektrs days
from then until March t.
"Statehood has proven a boon to
Oklahoma Money is plejtiful in
the east and I believe there will
be no trouble in interesting more
capital in Oklahoma The Okla-
cliinate about which I told all in-
quirers made a 'hit' with them.'
