COTTON OIL
MILL ASSURED
Anadarko Takes Long Step
Forward in Its Move to
The Front
Tuesdny's DanyJ

Messrs. Ogle and Goldman
advised US yesterday afternoon
that the cotton seed oil mill was
practically assured for Anadarko
and the advice came in time to
go into the afternoon paper
This morning they called again,
and advised US that nearly the
whole of Anadarko's allotment
of the stock hadib been taken up
There may rem ain yet a few
hundred to be raised tomorrow,
and these last few hundreds are
as necessary as any other like
sum; but the committee has won
the victory. and Anadarko has
secured big industry, one that
brings thousands on thousands
of dollars worth of business here
every year.
Now Anadarko may expect
things to hunt her. Already
there is foundry, for iron pill
lars and iron thresholds for
buildings, making overtures to
he co numerical club. There are
two railroads pointed this way
with great increased reason for
coming here. There is a $1,000
bonded warehouse to be built
here this fall if the promise of
state organizer of the Farmers
Union goes for anything, and
contracts are being let for a
number of brick buildings with
other bricks in sight.
The Oil mill is to cost $4,000.
1t will be forty ton affair with
provision made to enlarge its caT
pacity to go tons at a very small,
cost. 1t will employ 80 TO 40 op'I
orators, without counting the
buyers, and it's pay roll means irl
itself good many dollars to oul
merchants. 1t will bring moro
farmers here as a market than
almost any other thing than tho
cooperative warehouse. 1t wiz
bring cattle feeders here for oil
cake. 1t will produce an effecl
on the credit side of every banI
and business house ledger in tn \
city. The proposition now, afteI
the money is signed in, is to ori

place, to construct the seeS
houses and buy the seed. TheI
when the season for the mi II bi
