Encourage immigration.

The Rock Island System is
making an effort TO encourage
immigration into Oklahoma, as
well as to interest capitalists and
business and professional men in
the territory.
In this undertaking it should
have the active cooperation OF
every resident, for this reason:
the more people there are in Ok
lahoma, the higher the price of
land will be and the greater will
be the prosperity Of every man
and woman in it.
The plan which will be followed
is to publish, in Eastern farm
journals, letters from farmers
and business men who have made
money by coming to Oklahoma.
Letters should go into details to
the extent of stating how much
money the writer had when he
arrived, what he did, what sue
cess he has met with and what he
thinks Of that portion of Okla
homa in which he is located. In
order to prepare such a letter, it
is not necessary that the writer
should possess special qualifica-
tions as a literary man. On the
contrary, a plain straight forward
statement of facts is of much
greater value than florid des-
criptions of climatic and other
advantages.
Photographs, not of persons,
but of cattle, feed lots, growing
crops, harvesting operations, ETC., ,
can be used to advantage.
Letters are desired not only
from farmers and farmers wives,
but also from merchants, school
teachers, clergymen-from every
one, in brief who has a story to
tell and knows how to tell it.

A SPECIAL
MEETING.

Last evening the Democrat re-
ceived the following notice that
we think will be Of interest to ov-
cry man that favors building up
our county. There will be a
meeting held under the auspices
of the Anadarko Commercial
Club at the court house May 8th,
at one o'clock, p. m. We want
the farmers to attend the meet
ing. Capt. Jas. w, Steele of st.
Louis will be with us and talk
with reference TO tho Colonial
ton Agency. Subject, i'm
migration as it affects our local
ity, and how 10 get it, so come
and hear him.
SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO ALL
CITIZENS.
As will be seen by the notice
printed elsewhere, the citizens of
Anadarko are asked TO meet the
Commissioner in charge of the
Colonization Agency Of the
Southwestern Lines at the time
stated, and have conference
with him upon the subject of i'm
migration as it affects our locality,
and how TO get it.
A brief explanation of this inn
migration movement ought to be
given. The Colonization Agency
mentioned was founded few
months ago by nine of the South
western lines, including the Rock
Island, the Santa Fee, the Frisco
and others. For convenience the
Agency was located at st. Louis,
and its business is, in brief, "To
Advertise the great Southwest"
The railway lines interested
have furnished the money to
mainta in the Agency and its
work, but the idea involved is
that of mutual help. That is, the
railroads will organize, print,
distribute, pay rents and salaries,
keep the movement going, but
they need also the corporation
of the people of the communities
that are to be described and ad-
vertised. This is natural and
proper.
Meantime it ought to be under
stood that the Colonization Agen-
cy is in no sense a speculation.
The railroads do not advertise
their own lands, if they have any,
and most of them have not. No
money contribution is asked for
from anybody, and would be de-
clined if it were offered. That
which is needed and asked for is
a simple thing, and that is the
facts about the country given by
those who live in it. Those who
know what the Eastern farmer
wants to know are the men and
women of actual experience.
They alone can give the facts
wanted in a way that convinces
the man, who, as a rule is pos =
sessed by the idea that somebody
is trying to sell him a piece of the
/ Great American Desert, and that
the Southwest has no schools OF
churches, and no teachers,
preachers or doctors.
The sole purpose of this visit Of
the Commissioner to our city is
to place the Agency he repre-
sents more in touch with the mer
and women of the community
and to ask them to help him tc
help themselves.
The Commissioner, Capt. Jas
w. Steele, has been nearly al
his life "A resident of the South
west. He has had large eX'
perience in immigration business
Much more a writer than a speak
er, he is not intending TO deliver
lectures, but wishes merely t.
talk for a few minutes with the
people who will attend these
meetings, so that they may bet
ter understand what the Agency
