RETURNS FROM
OKLAHOMA,
Mr.. W. h. BOwmer Gives Inter-
eSting Interview of
His Trip.

Mr.. w. H. Bowmer has returned from
Oklahoma and is very enthusiastic over
his trip, and is loud in his praise of the
possibilities that the new State affords.
Mr.. Bowmer accompanied the crowd
of Breckenridge county people to Okla
homa last week. In talking with a rep
resentative of the News he gave out
some facts that are of interest to readers.
"Oklahoma," said he, "ofers very
fattering inducements to spectators
and investors, as can be seen from the
manner in which they are hocking there.
People from all sections are arriving
there daily and are putting their money
iuto land and town lots"
However" said Mr.. Bowmer, "the
price of land is little steep, in my
opinion, for the average homeseeker,
though many are investing for that
purpose"
Mr.. Bowmer said that wheat-raising
was the chief industry, and that Grant
county, where the prospectors from this
section went, was next to the largest
wheat-producing county in the world.
"There is some very poor land in Okla
homa," said he, "but there is also some
very rich land. Towns and counties
are building up as if by magic, and men
with capital, men in ordinary circum.
stances and people of all kinds are there
rushing pell in an effort to get
their share out of the harvest now on.

CLOVERPORT
MAY LAND BIG
ENTERPRISE
Deal On With Imperial Tobacco
Company For Establishment
of Big Warehouse.

Cloverport is now in fine way to 10.
cate large tobacco warehouse to cost
SEQ, 900, and If the deal now on is con-
summated, this hoped-for enterprise
will be a thing of reality within the
near future.
A deal is now in course of consum-
nation between DIR. R. L. Newsom and
Mr., Jack Mattingly, of this city, and
the Imperial Tobacco Company, of Ow-
ensboro, for the purchase by the latter
of a site for the location of the ware
house Within the city limits. The tract
of land is the brick yard fronting on
the railroad on Murray avenue, and the
Cloverport parties have given the Ow-
ensboro company an option on this
piece of real estate, covering the entire
lot of thirteen acres or space of 900
feet frontage and t50 feet deep.
1t is thought quite probable that the
deal may go through, as it is confidently
believed that an enterprise of that ma
ture would be profitable to the promo
ters. A warehouse hasllong been need
ed in Cloverport, and would be big
benefit to the farmers of Breckenridge
county.

Supplies Of Raw Material,

Naturally, a conservative business man
before deciding upon erabarl<ing in any
OF the various enterprises which now
offer, attractive inducements here will
want to assure himself as to a per-
Hanent and sufficient supply Of raw
material. Abundant evidence on this
point may be had from any Of the recent
statistical works on Texas, but even these
fall to do the subject justice, as years
are taken in their preparation, and by
the time the facts are published the pro-
duction has Increased many fold. OF cot
ton fruits and vegetables. and of cattle
and hogs, there is an inexhaustible sup
ply. There are abundant forests of hick-
ory black walnut. oak and other woods
for manufacturing purposes, great beds
of clay for brickmaking, and limestone
for concrete. Recently a large deposit
Of coal has been discovered in Dallas
county, and arrangements are being made
to mine 1t on an extensive scale.
