Prosperity and its Bril-
liant Prospects.

Clerk Otis Lorton announced YES.
terday that he would arrive in the
city this afternoon, for the purpose
of opening an office for the transac-
tion of business in the new county
of Tulsa.
1t has not been fully determined
where the recorders office will be
stationed. 1t is the duty of Marshal
Leo Bennett 10 designate the place for
doing business, and he will deter
mine today. 1t had been planned to
use the addition to the city hall, but
this Is not yet completed. The see
ond floor of the Frend-Jones build
ING Is the most prominently spoken
Of, and will in all probability be
chosen, at least temporarily.
Clerk Lorton states that owing to
the haste attending the removal of
his office, supplies are rather linn
tied, and asks the indulgence of the
people, until he has time to get mat
tels shaped up in good style.
The twenty-eighth recording dis
tnct embraces approximately $50
square miles, and is without doubt
the richest in the new state. 1t lies
entirely in the Creek and Cherokee
natlons. Starting at the corner of
the Usage nation. at the DR.. Kennedy
place. on the western outskirts of
Tulsa. the western boundary of the
district runs north twenty-four miles,
ar within about three miles of Ra-
mona. The northern boundary runs
ON the township line between town
ships % and "a, north for twelve
miles. The eastern boundary forty
two miles south on range land, be-
tween ranges II and l5, crossing the
Arkansas river, to the township line
between townships Ii and II. The
southern boundary runs twelve miles
west on the line between townships
Ii and II. The western boundary
again runs north twelve miles on the
range land between ranges II and II.
thence west twelve miles on the town
ship line between townships Is and
IL, thence north to the Arkansas
river, an the range land between
10 and II. and then follows the Ar
kansas on the south side of the Ar
kansas to the mouth of the Cimar-
ron. From that point it runs east
on the township land between ~ and
20, to the Kennedy farm again, that
line being the south line of the Usage
and the north line of the Creek ma
llons.
