De had ss from 25 to 70 feet, which tastes as well gs most well water. The town has live. intelligent class Of citizens, who are looking closely after every public enterprise which Kill lend stability and attraction to frst-elsss city. Its population can be spproximSted, but l think there gre about 5000 people located there. At least one thousand of these will close out and leave before winter, as many Of them have sqnatted on lots, and have homestead claims they must be or in the next so or % days. Nov is, and viii be for many days, good tune to buy property there. Property is cheap enough, both for business and resident purposes. Rents are high. Jacobson's corner would be worth sl55 per nonlh. Good stone and brick houses gre now being constructed in the business center, and every feature and move nent of the town denotes confidence and prosperity. Merchandise is as cheap Es in othsr towns no larger.
 From Guthrie I went down to Ed uoud. which is IS miles. The town is un level or almost level prairie, with little business done, although its future is reasonably good. The coun- try surrounding it is better than at Guthrie. Here is where the good l homeste2ds can be had. There l met ny brother, R. B. Potts, and the lmmaculsts Jim Williams, formally of Atkins. These gentlemen were kind and hnspitable in their atten- tions to one who wss glad to meet them. We rode about fifteen miles around the town, and they very soon convinced ne they were dealing in real estate and surveying. Each could catch on to s quarter section ! of land and tell if il was taken or fled on. Persons can get informa- ] ton concerning the county or home steAds by writing them st Edmond, L T
 [ la ny next letter l will write ID Oklahons City. Yours &c.

Letters from the Territory.

 On leaving home, June lstI prom ised you, with others. that l would write an occasional letter from the different points Of interest along my route,
 Now, 10 bs brief, and do the conn try and the towns justice is what l will attempt to do. Naturally enough, l judge, you wsnt to know something Of Oklahoma and its towns. The territory is about four tunes ss large ss Pope county; composed principal Y Of prairies, with considerable more timber than IS found in many other parts of the Ildlsn Country.
 The soll is dark red, sandy lo2m from three 10 eight feet in depth, urdsrlsid with s dark red sandstone. Some of the soil is dark sandy losn, uodsrlsid with the same kind of stone. This is the case with the high rolling prsiries and timber lands. but the bottoms gre of soil very much similar in color, but dark er snd more productive. l ssy pro ductive, because the growth of the corn and vegetation So far demon sirxte this fact, sttested by many citizens who have lived adjoining the territory and grown grain and vegetables think tbs land eEpee islly adapted to wheat, oats aLd corn.
 There gre great many homesieads here not taken that are very choice. Especially was l on one to day, O. I6o acres, with 100 acres Of be&uti ful prairie equal 10 the best farms on Illinois bayou, and remaining 60 acres oi uubeF with 8 small creek passing through iL sGordipg water ln abundance, with shelter in the brakes for stock in bad weather h the same section only l60 acres have been taken so far.
 Generally, the territory !s pretty well umbsred. But l have seen less of the country than have Of the towns although. l have been several miles around in the country near Edmond, s town IS miles south oi Guthrie, and l2 mIies north of here -Oklshoma City.
 Bat I EIli say something of the towns, in connection with the eoun- try, and before writing up Oklahols City, will return to Guthrie, the place about which so much has been said through the papers, then pass on 10 Edmond and here.
 Guthrie is, beyond all question, the most beautifully located town in the wesL It's on s beautiful rolling prairie from which tt can be seen en- tire, fr0u s number Of points n, or just out Of town, with Cotton wood crsek passing through it's center, or nearly so, and surrounded by besHii- fal groves Of timber, adjoining, and s short distance sway with every street straight Es xn GFToE snd over which & line Of street railway sill pass in from thirty 10 sixty days, with An electric light plant under cons.rnction t0 be ready for use in s short uEe.
