Wonderful Progress Made
During the Past Month.
ITS FUTURE VERY BRIGHT
viii Be a Common Center
for Many Railroads.

I is by no means old, ana to one who has
/ visited the town at various times since
/ the opening and noted the growth and
/ Improvements going on here, it is simply
I wonderful. Anadarlzo, no doubt, can
claim. and justly too. the most beautiful
/ location of any Of the new towns.
Located as it is in the rich valley Of
/ the Washita on an elevation sufficient to
/ make it above high water mark and high
/ enough to overlook the grounds of the
Z old agency the beautiful trees along the
banks of the Washita river, and which
river is abundantly supplied with FISH.
( Channel cat are caught in great numbers
by the fishermen. The different schools
/ and missions supported by the govern
ment are a surprise to strangers visit
4 ing this, the new Anadarko." The Rock
Island road running southwest from
Enid. known as the Enid and Anadarko
railroad vii lintersect the road TO Lawton
at this point and make Anadarllo q city
I easily reached from all directions, conse-
quenuy a desirable point al which to do
business The most fertile soil lies IN q
radius of twenty miles surrounding this
place The land taken by the home
steader is not the only land to be found
as so often talked. but most all Of the
Indians lands viii be rented to good
thrifty class OF white people who have
not been fortunate enough to secure
homes in the great drawing.
Anadarko is now ready to figure with
men representing good milling institu-
lions. ice plants. planning mills, whole
sale houses, etc.
History knows of no such growth as is
Anadarko's privilege to claim and so
peaceable that it is 4 surprise TO even
our own citizens. but it is explained in
this way Everybody has had enough to
do to attend to their own business and
let others do the same. The funny thing
in the new town is to watch the men
coming for a business location and hear
them ask the different questions as to
the other towns in the southwest, and
one of the first questions asked, that the
/ people of this place can so quickly and
satisfactorily answer is: How is the
water2' Finest in the land; no finer"
The town lots were largely bought by
men wishing to use them for mercantile
| business. and vet there are some bought
as investments and the owners are glad
to make some sort of satisfactory lease
to good, responsible firms who wish to
cast their lot with Anadarko as a trade
center
