chise, presented by the Choctaw
Oil and Gas Co., of Cherryvale,
Kan, and Atoka, 1. T., asking
that a 20-year franchise, the first
five exclusive, to pipe gas and
oil into Durant within two years
time for light and fuel usages in
the city. This company has leased
several thousand acres of land,
18 miles east OF Durant and will
begin boring within sixty days.
The company asks no bonus and
offers flat rate of 25c per month.
The council will in all probability
grant the franchise. The oil and
gas plant will be worth millions
to Durant.
The Fortnightly Club of Durant
is behind the movement to have
established in Durant Carnegie
library. It's efforts, the snterpris-
ing members feel confident, will
result in its establishment.
A couple Of tracts of Land, 80
acres in one, and 40 in the other,
have been added to the city on
the northwest, high and dry and
overlooking the city. These tracts
will be thrown on the market, and
already there is a movement to
erect many handsome houses on
these tracts, which will be sur
veyed into five. acre and smaller
blocks. With this addition to the
city, cheap lots and homes are
assured the people.

in the Indian Territory-popula-
ton 1000. According to govern

east and west and twenty-three
avenues running north and south.
There are 377 blocks, 2639 resi-

Durant's public utilities are
waterworks system, Blue river
supply, $4,000; public school
buildings, $40, 900; city hall and

citing more school houses; $685.
600 in bonds for the purpose OF

From now on the surplus land
can be sold in increasing quantity.
The title is absolutely good, if
the purchaser exercises the ordi.
nary care shown in the buying of
land in the states. The law pro.
vides for the entire removal of
restrictions from such Indian
citizens as the secretary of the
interior deems competent to
transact their own affairs, and
there is also provision for the
sale Of any particular piece Of
land, after careful scrutiny OF the
contract by the proper officials.
Each Indian of the Choctaw
nation-man, woman and child
is entitled to 800 acres of saver
age allotable land," ranging from
100 to 1000 acres. Half of this is
a homestead, inalienable during
the lifetime of the allottee, or for
81 years. The estates of all chill
dren are managed by curators,
appointed by and acting under
the direction of the courts. These
lands may be leased on the ap-
proval of the court.
This defniteness both as to sale
and leasing of Indian lands is
bound to result in swift agricul-
tural development of the Choctaw
nation.

Nowhere in the world can be
found the equal in farm lands
which Blue county boasts-lands
that will produce anything that
can be grown in the United States,
and in some instances, two crops
the same year can be successfully
grown, such as alfalfa, clover,
Irish potatoes and garden truck.
Blue county, more especially
the sections closely tributary to
Durant, grows as fine fruits as
Arkansas, and in many instances
better, the soil being particularly
adapted to tender plants. Peaches,
apples, pears, plums, cherries,
mulberries, apricots, nut trees,
berries and grape vines grow
prolificly and produce abund-
antly. There are over thousand
acres in fruits about Durant and
the growers are we'll pleased with
the results. Strawberries, rasp-
berries, dewberries, gooseberries
and currants grow especially fine
in size and flavor. There are
neatly 300 acres in berries about
Durant and are proving most
profitable crops. There is no bet
ter opening for the fruit growers
than in Blue county. Flowering
shrubs, tender plants, evergreens
hedge plants, vines, roses and
shade trees grow fast and to good
size with but little attention.
The potato crop has proved to
be one of the most profitable that
grows; it natures early and is
shipped to northern markets; our
lands produce from 150 to 250
bushels to the acre, and always
sure of a second crop. Truck
farming is proving very profit
able, as vegetables, berries and
vine CROPS of all kinds do we'll
here, and with the improved faci-
lities for shipping everything that
the farmers raise, and need, Du-
rant will draw all the produce
from the surrounding country.
Durant has a Canning Factory
of $4,000 cans per day capacity.
The fruit and vegetables it puts
up is of excellent quality and the
output finds ready sale, in all
the markets. The very highest
price is paid for home products.
Last year the farmers and truck
, growers were unable to supply
the demands of the factory, so all
we need is more truck growers tc
cast their lot with us, and dc
their part, and tho climate and
| soil will do the rest.
Hunt where you may you viii

raising poultry, hogs, cattle
/ horses and mules. There are

, rant, the largest of which has

There is something here that
: make chickens healthy and hens
, good layers. To attend the annual
, fowl shows here one is easily
convinced that Blue county is the
ideal fowl country. AS to hogs,
cattle, horses and mules, Blue
county excepts none outside OF
northern stock.
Prudent persons of moderate
means, who are tired of making
just half living in the States,
we would say come to Blue
county. There is no section which
offers better opportunities for
general farming, truck, poultry
and stock raising than the Sec
tions about Durdnt.
