want of that self-government con-
tingent upon statehood
As suggested the growth of Tulsa
is but the natural result of condi-
tons; for she has more resources
than may be found in any other spot
in the whole country. Situated on
the Arkansas river; surrounded by
and beneath her vast bed of soft
coal; in the midst of the great Mid
Continent oil and gas field; hav-
ing at her door ready to burn today
fully a hundred million cubic feet of
natural gas, which field comprises
two hundred square miles, having at
present five railroads, and as the
names indicate, good ones being

tory towns. have their own places of
worship also.
Tulsa's people are computed at
10000. men. women and children.
On Sunday morning, when the
weather is fine, the churches all have
good congregations. Several have
memberships Of over 25O, and reck-
oning the average congregation at
$50, which is very conservative, we
have a total of church goers of over
1.5OO. 1t is not believed that these
figures will be cavilled at
The churches are all grouped to-
gether in the center of the city, and
as there are no street ears and, as
yet. but few sidewalks, many are
kept from church services who would
attend were conditions different.

will convince him that there is abb
solute truth in every statement made
in this article.
Having five railroads, Tulsa enjoys
as good freight rates as any city In
the territories, and thus timber, zinc,
lead, wheat and all grains may be
shipped here as reasonably as else
where. and the manufacturer gets the
advantage of cheap fuel, which is
today attracting smelters, cement
plants. wood works and the manu-
facturer of agricultural implements.
Already, there is assurance that
every one of these lines and several
others will be in operation soon.
At present, the Tulsa Ice and

two wholesale grocery and produce

boiler shop, foundry, a two-hundred

several big oil supply houses, several
cigar factories and numbers of small

The Uncle Sam Oil Refining Co.

fifty business houses that cost from
$1,000 to $4,000 each.
All this came about as result Of

THE CHURCHES OF TULSA

There are people who profess not
to believe in churches, but these un-
believers would be among the first
to object to the removal Of places of
worship if such Il thing were con-
templated, They know, and every
body else knows, that where churches
are law and order prevail, and that
without them and their influence all
would be anarchy and chaos. This
statement applies, of course, to cities
and towns where large numbers Of
people are herded together.
Tulsa has many churches. AL

On the whole, and as it is often
said, Tulsa's people are church going
and God fearing. The city is not
immaculate, and nobody claims it is,
as unfortunately vice exists here as
it does everywhere, but for new
town in a new territory it is wonder
fully free from the evils which cloud
so many cities in the older and sup
posedly more civilized states.
The preachers in Tulsa's churches
are good men, whose sole purpose is
to make the city better to live in.
They are capable men, and while not
one Of them could set the Arkansas
river on fire with the heat of his
oratory, when it comes to preaching
the Gospel in plain, practical,
ccmmon-sense manner, and in show
ing the people the way to higher
things and leading them to their en-
joyment, they are the equals of any
anywhere.
The Methodist Episcopal church
has just finished one of the most
beautiful buildings in the Territory
Ia cut Of it appears in this paper).
The NJ. Il. church, south, is arranging
now for the immediate construction
of a church on the north side of town,
and will also, later on, build a new
one on the south side. The Episco-
pal church is a new and very pretty
one, and the other denominations
are also planning new and handsome
buildings, as the sites on which their
present ones are located are in the
business section and will shortly be
required for business purposes.
Among the many questions asked
by people who are thinking of NOV
ing to a new place are dozen or so
about the churches of that place.
With regard to Tulsa's churches it
is believed these questions are sim
ply and satisfactorily answered in
this article. There is but one thing
more to say and that is that the
members of these churches live to
gether harmoniously, and help each
other on every occasion which offers.

What is more attractive than clear handsome complexion? Those who are the possessors of bright eyes, fine, at tractive face and luxuriant hair, taste- fully and artistically arranged, seldom complain of lack of acquaintances or friends. The plain girl or woman who neglects to avail herself of the skill of a professional who has made facial massage, scalp treatment and hair dressing a specially really loses much in appearance and feeling, for it is a conceded fact that while the mind in 1uences to a great extent the body, the body influences, for good or evil, the mind. All know the benefits of good bath. It is said that cleanliness is next to godliness, and if that be true bath- ing is a means of grace. Well, any proper method for improving ones ap- pearance has decidedly beneficial ef- feet upon the whole organism,
 Mary E. Lengel, of $40 Chapel street, rooms and T. Hubinger building, is, as is well known, a thoroughly reliable and gifted specialist in the treatment of the complexion and scalp. At her parlors ladies visit daily and consult her with reference to treatment. She pays particular attention to facial mas saging, scalp treatment, hair dressing, marcel waving. etc. She has with her a noted Parisian lady hair dresser who is higtly gifted in her art.
