The movement to induce farmers in
the United States to settle in the wheat
belt of Northwestern Canada has at
tracted o,pst5erahle attention. and has
met with certain degree Of success.
Marvelous reports are being circulated
as 10 the fertility Of the sal and the
cheapness Of the land in this new coun-
try and the spirit Of restlessness that
pervades the American breast is being
strongly appealed 20.
But granting the truth of these trav-
elers' tales and real estate agents
glowing prospectuses, there is no good
reason why any American farmer
should forswear his allegiance to his
country--and that is the first step re-
quired in this new feld-to find good
wheat lands at reasonable prices, to-
gethsr with all the comforts and social
advantages OF civilization. Missouri
Kansas, Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory have plenty Of land that is unsur
passed for wheat or almost anything
else that grows, and ian be had at
prices that seem ridiculously small in
comparison with values farther East.
In point of climate, neither too hot nor
too cold, there is no part OF the United
States to compare with this section
and certainly Canada is hopelessly far
behind. The people in the great South.
west are progressive and ospitable to
a fault. so that all the conditions that
make for prosperity and contentment
are fulfilled.

THE OIL WELL PROPOSITION.
The proposition to sink to Missis-
sippi limestone and Offering a $4,000
bonus to any company that will take
up the offer, is good move The
bonus is ample for the purpose and
will not go begging for acceptance The
bonus win so a long way toward pay
ing the expense and will only require a
minimum Of chance on the part Of
whatever company accepts it.
There should be a reasonable time
limit on the work, as what the men
behind the plan want is development
and that at once in straightforward
business like way. The contract
should be very definite and explicit and
leave as little room for future compli-
cations rs possible
There is every Indication that there
is oil in and about Guthrie. as it has
been frequently encountered in small
quantities in drilling shallow wells
The enterprise would be Of great value
to the city. If it could be gotten under
way at once Even the fact Of its be
ing under way. when the editors meet
here would be matter that would be
noted as surely as will the absence
of it,
Very nearly every town in eastern
Oklahoma has IN oil project Some
will fail OF course. but tn probability is
that quite a large number Of them will
succeed. The idea of over stocking the
wcrld with oil and fuel need have no
terror at present. as this world and its
demand for oil and fuel are very large
