right ~ the middle of the best sec
tion of the Choctaw Nation. A visit
here will convince you that this is
"the place" and that now is the
time" to enter this magnificent coun-
try. It's the leaders, not the follow
ers, that make the gains. This coun-
try is calling for men of energy, push
and ability to develop her wonderful
resources.
Blue County is at the threshold of
it's greatest prosperity. The develop
ment made in the past five years is
but token of that to come, and the
dwellers on its rich acres will have
reason to be more thankful than ever
that their steps we're guided into
such pleasant places, where each year
adds to the value OF their property,
and where larger wealth is accumu-
lated with every passing season.
Here you can raise fruit and ber-
ries, cattle, horses and mules, poul-
try and hogs, cotton and corn, wheat
and barley, alfalfa and oats, potatoes
and pumpkins, peanuts and turnips,
melons and tomatoes, grapes and
cabbage, etc. Here you can raise any

are pleasant, the nights delightful. In
winter the thermometer does not
register much below freezing point.
It can be truly said that Blue County
has a comparatively uniform, equable
and mild climate. Farmers can util-
ize at least ten months in the year
for planting, cultivating and harvest.

MORE SNOW NEEDED.
Le,sins Business At q StsndstH For Want
Of Sielshins.

The firm of L n Evans q Co, which
usually gets In during the winter from
800, 900 to 100000 feet OF logs, and
Who run the largest mill in this section
have not been able TO get in but about
SO, 600 feet this season so far, and un-
less there is heavy fall Of snow with
in the next four weeks they will be able
to do but little during the coming
summer. The steam mill corner OF
County and Branch streets has ca.
pacity of about 10000 feet day and
they have orders in abundance. They
have now piled in the woods about
100, 900 cords of hard and soft wood
logs which is equivalent to about 500,
900 feet.
When the last light fall Of snow
came they started in to get the logs all
In, and put on every team they could
raise but the last break up destroyed
all chances they had of doing any
thing with teams. Mr. Evans says that
il they could have four weeks Of good
sleighing they could get in about three
quarters of their usual supply but he
does not anticipate any such good
fortune. The firm usually employs 20
hands but under present conditions
annot work that number. i
