With all the energy characteris- tic of new town, charmingly
 located, and with ali the native charms that can be found in almost any section of the United States,
 Mena is growing toward q thriy- ing metropolis. As fast as the many saw mills can get out lum- Der and the railroad ship it to this point, 1t is being taken by the pushing, hurrying workmen and converted into business houses and homes. Those who were wit nesses of the growth of Oklahoma City and other towns in the Okla homa country can partially realize the conditions here-yesterday, to-day, to-morrow-and what will continue indefinitely. Each train from the north brings into our mountain surrounded city business men and men of means seeking investments and ideal homes, and while much real estate is changing hands at good profit to holders, there has been no effort made to create unreasonably high and fic titious prices, and al! coming who desire business property or homes can find tho same at safe and con- servatiyc figures. There can be no doubt but few months more will find the acre land around the city divided into lots, and more and larger sections of outlying land platted for suburban homes. md in due time all these will be covered with grape vineyards, peach and apple orchards, and all of small fruits, for which his country is so aptly fitted.
