large is the great Southwest, and that
section Is filling up very rapidly. At the
time Of the Oklahoma opening there we're
numerous other outlets, and the South
west itself was practically untried. Ac-
cordingly, farms are worth more today
than they were. 1t may be necessary to
pay a nominal sum for an Indian terri
tory farm, whereas farm in Oklahoma
was secured for nothing, but because Of
this recent rapid expansion the value OF
the Indian territory farm is equal to the
value Of the Oklahoma farm in 80 plus
the Indian territory purchase price.
End Almost In Sight.
And in this connection the question
may right aptly be put: What Of condi-
lions ten years hence? According to the
law of supply and demand, land values are
certain to 60 upward. The government
is almost impoverished In the matter Of
tillable public land. During the year 1903
nearly 23,000,000 acres of public lands
were homesteaded. an acreage almost
equivalent to the area of Indiana, and
this was inferior soil. What remains Is
still less adaptable to cultivation.
At the present rate the end is In sight
Then it will be that he who can look out
over a portion of this earth's surface and
call it his own will be the man Of inde-
pendence sto reap the benefits of land ap-
probation, and It needs no argument to
prove that a land where the highest pro-
duction Is possible and where at the same
time it costs but little to start Is the
proper place to make that start.

rich and productive an empire, the advan-
tages here offered to capital seeking in,
vestment are most flattering. AS such
gateway its growth and greatness as an
interior metropolis are assured. Many
real estate values have advanced from 200
to 400 per cent within the last eight years.
Choice sites for manufacturing and job
bling enterprises are now being diligent-
ly sought out, whereas only a few years
ago such locations were drug on the

All Of the vast demand for agricultural
implements in this almost phenomenally
productive region should be manufactured
in Wichita and supplied from here at a
low cost of transportation. Thrashing
machines, harvesters, both for wheat and
corn, mowers, cultivators, plows, trac-
ton engines, wagons, carriages. and all
other classes Of vehicles should always
be manufactured as near as possible to
the consumer, in order to secure the best
results.

LANDS NEAR LAYTON, OK,
BEING RAPIDLY BOUGHT.
Glorious Opportunities for Future
Independence in Comanche Coun-
ty Attract Many Investors.
BY WIN. H. HORNADAY.
Special Correspondence.


- LAYTON, Ok, Oct. 16.-The agricul-
tural year book issued by the government
few days ago shows thatin the percent
age of farm homes Oklahoma rates far
above every state and territory, being
over Y per cent. This shows firm and
substantial basis on which to build
great and prosperous commonwealth.
Oklahoma has the farms, and her farm
ers own their farms. She has the rich
fields and the Industrious, intelligent
farmers, and will produce as great va
r1ety OF crops and more abundant yields
than any other section of this great
country.
Unto all these may be added the ex-
ceedingly low prices Of these fine lands.
altogether offering greater possibilities
and brighter prospects than can be found
anywhere else on earth. In q few years
much of this choice land will have doubled
in price or will have become permanent
investments and beyond purchase at any
price. In five years many, very many of
the glorious opportunities now found in
Comanche county will have disappeared,
nevermore to return. And where can
another such chance be created? No
where. This Is the last great Opening"
where the home hunters can secure any
thing worth the having without some
surroundings which are positively OBJ
jectionable.
Within the past few weeks over 500, 900
has been invested in lands adjoining or
near to Lawton. This shows in meas
ure how these cheap lands are being
snapped up by permanent investors.
This hunger for land, which has been
almost disease, will continue to in
crease as the available lands decrease,
until it will become a veritable panic
And why not? The lands now selling
for 500 to $50 will grow as much corn or
wheat as the 500 land in Iowa; will pro-
duce as much cotton and better lint
than the highest priced land anywhere in
all the South. All without adding fer
tilizers almost as valuable as the land.
While your correspondent has nothing
to sell, yet he will promptly answer all
inquiries any reader may make. He can
be found on his claim adjoining Lawton,
where he expects to remain during his
natural Iife."
