Minister Saw Only One Drunken
Man and One Tobacco Fiend
in Oklahoma.

The Rev. C. W. Maxwell. formerly
of Lynchburg. passed through the city
yesterday on his return from Okla
homa- He has received calls from
Presbyterian churches in several Of the
largest cities of the new State. He
looked over the country. and though
much pleased with 1t. both as place
of residence and field of labor, de-
cided to return to his native State.
In the opinion of Mr.. Maxwell, Okla
homa is destined to be one Of the great
est States Of the country. All of the
towns are booming like those of vir-
GINA In 1890, but have as the basis of
their prosperity natural resources. such
as oil. coal and gas. People from the
East and from foreign countries are
moving in with great rush, many of
them living temporarily In shacks and
tents.
In spite of the fact that farming and
mining lands are in such demand in
that part of the State, formerly the
Indian Territory. no holdings can be
bought except In the towns or by gov
ernment permit. Settlers are looking
to Congress. SAYS Mr.. Maxwell. and are
trying to get a bill through allowing
the Indians to sell their property.
Prohibition laws of the State. which
operate against the sale of cigarettes
as we'll as whiskey. are unusually
we'll enforced. Mr.. Maxwell having seen
