TOUR OF THE CLANSMAN'
Southern Company Will Open Its
Season on September 19 In
Charleston, s, G.,

New York, August SIT has been
definitely decided that the second
tour of "The Clansman will com
mence on September 10, in Charles
ton s. c. Last season the first per-
formance of the play, on any stage,
was given on September %, in Nor
folk, Va, where the piece immedi-
ately leaped into popular favor ere
ating a sensation which has not been
equaled since the Civil war. The
decision to start the tour of the play
this year farther south, was made in
order TO enable the company to fill
an early October engagement in New
Orleans. After visiting the Cres-
cent City, "The Clansman will
journey through the entire South.
Its itinerary will include many places
which were not visited last season.
In addition to the original South
ern company which will present the
now famous drama of the Ku Klux
Kan south of the Mason 4 Dixon
line, two organizations will be seen
in Northern territory, while fourth
company is to be organized for the
London engagement which has been
planned to commence next Easter.
The box office records of the vari-
ous cities in which the pice has ap-
peared from its opening in Norfolk,
up to and including the summer en-
gagement of the play at MsVicker's
theatre in Chicago, demonstrate
that "The Clansman during a pc
riod of ten months has played to
more people and has turned more
people away than any other attrac-
tion during corresponding length
of time in the theatrical history of

mission left this morning for Atoka
and Ardmore, where they will spend
the greater part of the week inspect
ing the Choctaw and Chickasaw land
offices at these places. This inspec-
tion is with view Of getting an idea
of the amount of work that is to be
done in these two Offices. The rolls
are now closed and preparations are
making to hasten the land offices
work to as speedy close as possible.
The land offices will remain at these
two towns until all the land work is
done. 1t was proposed to move them
to Muskogee, but clause was slipped
into the five tribes bill which will
keep the Offices where they are at
present until all of the Indians are al
lotted.

makes his rules as to how the surplus
land, amounting to two or three mil

well as the dividing up of the coal
segregation and the sale of the timber

HOT-AIR GAS.
Men Should Hesitate Before Donating
Money, Says Contributor.


To the Editor of the World:
In the interest of better Tulsa and
common sense business, ] would like
to give a word of advice to the busi-
ness men and tax payers of Tulsa who
are being solicited to contribute money
to an alleged cheap gas scheme. have
been travelling over the Oklahoma oil
and gas fields for three years, and
claim to have a fairly accurate know
ledge of the amount of natural gas al
ready in sight and the estimated
amount and location of lands that will
proabbly develop as gas territory.
Having obtained this knowledge by
careful investigation and making a
daily study of conditions, | feel com
petent to state that the plan devised
toboost Tulsa as a manufacturing town
is ridiculous. and that some competent
authority should advise possible Civ
ers of bonuses to withhold their dona-
tions. In the end the boomers will
profit personally by the scheme, and
business men will be out of their
money.
Suppose $4,000 is donated to buy
gas land. where will the land be found
that is reasonably sure to produce
gasf If it is sure gas is il not more
than possible that the owner will ask
its full value. If it is not sure gas
land, will il not be foolish to waste
so much money! Practically every
foot of land that will ever produce
gas is now under lease or owned by in
dividuals or companies that have Sc
cured it for the sole purpose Of get.
ting every cent out of it that il is
worth, eiher by development them
selves or by sale or suitcase to some
one who will drill it. Land spectators
and boomers are the last people to
give away land that is worth anything,
and by the same token they are the
first people to encourage schemes and
boomlets that will enable them to
work off lot of common land at fan
cy prices.
Tulsa has already permitted her ma
tural gas business to get into pretty
disagreeable muddle, and before TAX
ing on more speculative muddles, com
mon sense suggests that that muddle
be Strengthened out. The company
that first found natural gas and made
il possible for the town to enjoy tue
luxury, spent money in and around
Tulsa. The second company TO get
gas was given franchise that is
claimed to be exclusive, only to sell
i, out, and is now in she market again
for another franchise, leaving the city
with either real lawsuit, or one that

none offered.
Looking back over il now there
probably aren't half a dozen persons
in the town who will not frankly
admit that lola made a great mistake.
In those eight years the gas company
has distributed more than 100000 in
dividends. No exact figures are at
hand, and probably none ever will be.
In the past six years the gas company
has been n close corporation and none
but heavy stock holders have been
permitted to know the exact extent
of the income. But enough is known
to say that lola would have been rich
er by S250,000 had it taken mp the
proposition. The entire taxes levied
in lola during these years has but
little exceeded the amount of money
paid ont to stock holders in dividends
from the company which lola refused
to take at price of 100000 Today
they made the final payment on the
plant and it stands them at almost
100000, slight difference of S7O,-
900. all of which the gas company
stockholders have received. Banks,
gold mines and all ordinary business
look cheap compared with its income,
considering the capital invested.
It was the opportunity that seldom
comes TO town, but lola put it aside,
A few courageous spirits believed that
it was the salvation of the town and
they have never lost faith in their
Judgment. 1t has been given to them
to see the advance in the property un-
ill there is now no doubters about
what lola should do in the future or
about what they should have done in
the past.
When the fight first started the gas
company was owned almost entirely
by local capital. This fact had much
to do with the defeat of the bonds,
When once the city's option had ex-
pired, DR.. II. p. Merriman, of Chic
ago, a brother-in-law of Captain ii.
A. Ewing, purchased large, if not
the controlling, interest in the gas
plant, and he has since conducted it.
No one has ever heard him complain
of the value of the investment.
And so putting aside the loss of
S25O,O00, the city has assumed CON
tral of the plant, and will try to make
up for lost time. There never was a
time that the gas company was so
profitable as it is today, and with ev-
cry resident of lola using gas, it will
continue to be profitable. If properly
managed, and the selection of II. M.
Miller as superintendent assures a
safe, conservative management, lola
ought TO be able to run the city gov
ernment from the revenue Of this plant
alone, and will leave a surplus to
apply toward the extinguishment of
its bonded debt. The gas company
has been a bonanza for the owners.
Will il prove a. bonanza for lola

The Paper and the People.

Speaking of what newspaper
does for a community, former United
States Senator Davis of Illinois made
statement in an address that will
ever remain green in the memories Of
newspaper men. He said:
every year every local paper
gives from 500 to over 5000 free
lines for the benefit of the commun-
ity in which il is located. No other
agency can do or will do this. The
editor in proportion to his means
does more for his own town than
any other man. He ought to be
supparted not because you happen
to like him. or admire his writings,
hut because local paper is the best
investment n community can make.
II may not he crowded with great
thoughts. but financially it is of more
benefit than both teacher and preach
er. To-day editors do more for less
pay than any man on earth. Pat
rcnize your home paper not ne
charity. but as an investment"

covered an entirely new process Of
making salt. He says he uses cedar
tree, sprinkling the branches with
salt water from a Bordeaux sprayer
with astonishing results. He main
tains that he can supply the elite Of
eastern society with imitation snow
drops, geraniums and carnations in
midwinter. He is now experimenting,
believing that with salt he can pro-
duce that which scientific horticulture

The best manufacturing towns in
the gas belts are the ones where man
ufacturers pay what the gas is worth,
The towns that are offering two and
three cent gas have no manufactures,
and as rule the cheap towns have
but little gas.
Free gas means no gas, The cheap
est gas is the gas that is always there
when il is needed, and that is served
always when it is needed. The kind
of gas that burns freely and is there
to be burned is cheap at 20 and p
cents, and is worth just as much tc
the town that has it as it is to the one
that is trying to get it-Kansas City
for instance-a fine muddle.

WANT TO CoLoNIzE LANDS.
Secretary Wenner in Receipt Of Let
ters From Parties Wanting Land.

NpeclaI 10 tne w Orlu.
Guthrie, Okla, August S.-Fred
l.. Wenner, secretary of the territor-
ial leasing board, has a letter from
a resident of Dallas, Texas, who de-
sires to locate colony of Texans on
u large tract of the college lands,
recently donated to the territory in
the statehood bill, for the maintain
ance of the Oklahoma colleges after
statehood becomes effective. Mr..
Wenner has written him that as yet
no plans for the leasing of these
lands has been adopted, but that he
will be notified when the board does
adoDt some plan.
II was the original intention of the
Texas colony to locate on public do
main in Woodward or Beaver county.
About the time the colony was ready
TO start on the trim, the stastehood
bill was passed, and all he public do
main was snapped up by the school
land board to make up the 1,O50,JNG
acres of college lands. Up to that
time, the Texans had been communi-
eating with Colonel Dick T. Morgan,
register of the land Office at Wood
ward, but afteer the lands passed to
the new state, it was necessary to
make anplication for them to Secre-
tary Wenner.
1t is the intention of the Texans to
locate as a colony on these leased
land, improve them and then buy
them in, whenever they may be sold,
as under the statehood bill, the oecu-
pants of the lands are given the pre-
ference right to buy.

HOW |OLALOST $2s0,ooo.oo
Failed to Purchase Gas Plant at Proper Time Ju
Rectifed the Error.

Almost eight years after the last
vote was taken ON the proposition ia
vote bonds TO purchase the gas plant
lola comes into complete possession
of the plant, The bogie men which
were raised 10 prevent the purchase
of the plant seem to have faded away
and today there is apparently no OPP
position to the city owning and con
trolling the plant. Whether il will
prove as profitable under city owner
ship as it has under private ownership
rests wholly with the management it
receives. If il properly managed it
ought TO make lola rich. Had lola
owned it during those eight years,
the town would have had the proud
distinction of being taxless.
The long drawn out fight for posses
sion of the plant has ended and the
city took formal charge today The
three elections held in an effort TO
vote bonds to purchase the plant eight
years ago are still fresh in the minds
of the public. When the Allen coun-
ty gas company was purchased by To-
cal capitalists, the price of gas was
reduced from 80 to $50 a stove.
About the same time the Cooperative
Gas company was organized, and after
bitter fight in the council was given
n franchise to do business in lola.
II struck good well on the Goodner
tract of land south of the city and
were just getting ready to do busi-
ness when they met with a suit for
damages stated at $4,000 lola City
was made part of this suit. This
ease was pending in court and testi-
mony being heard when court ad-
journed one Saturday night. Then
there was hurried consultation be-
tween the two companies and when
court reconvened Monday morning an
other adjournment was asked for. In
the meantime the two companies got
together. The price of gas was fixed
at 81 a stove, the city was to have
two year option to purchase the
plant at 100000, with the better
ments, and the various suits were dis
missed.
Then began the struggle for the
city ownership. No fight was ever
like it in lola. 1t arrayed father
against son, brother against brother,
and for almost two years was bitterly
contested In that time many hard
stories were told, mass meetings were
held, speeches were made and the city
boiled with excitement and bitter
words. Three elections were held
The first one resulted in the death Of
the bonds by seventeen majority, and
the third by about the same as the
second vote. The last election was
held within a few days of the time
when the city's option expired.
The night of the last election bon
fires were lighted, and the next day
gas took sudden upward bound with
