The supremacy CT the great south

rcn. The fact has lons been known
that Oklahoma was the key TO the de-
yeiopment Of this region and occupied
one Of the most enviabie locations Of
any state in the Union Its proximity
20 the Gulf ports and consequent low
grain rates. together with It's fertility
and adaptabrity to diversified crops.
point to a really wonderful future
The movement OF grain TO the Gulf
ports has thoroughly aroused the At
lantic saaboard cities and trunk lines
to thsir danger and they have put
forth their very strongest Efforts to
stem the tide without avail Some Of
the very ablest fnanciers recognize
that it can not be dcne and own that
great era Of financial advancement IS
sure TO come to the Southwest and are
disposed to move some Of their IN
vestments in this direction and take
a hand in future developments.
New Orleans alone received 4.0OO-
0C) bushels mere grain in February
than it did G year ago aud Atlantic
ports show a falling of in receipts
The New York Financier IN a very
able article quite worthy Of careful
perusal. a part If which is printed
elsewhere. calls attention to this situ-
alton, but declares that Atlantic cities
can no hold their former supremacy
along this line.
If, then. Galveston and New Orleans
are making such strides and oklahoma
Kansas and Texas are so rapidly be
I coming centers of agriculture. stock

may not the still greater advantages
Of the Panama canal and proximity to

Guthrie with its great railroad facil-
tiles and the ether cities Of Oklahoma.
and the state as a whole, stand to get
their share Of this coming develop
ment and within the next decade make
the greatest progress Of any part Of
the United States.
Every Oklahoman should congratu-
late himself that he is in that part OF
the world where the most rapid prog
ress is being made and contemplate
che wonderful future Of the new state.
