Very hot at this time of the year,
especially so to one used TO North la
kota. Nearly everything grows here.
aud many products produce two or
more crops q year. Cotton, corn, hay,
potatoes and fruit are the principals
The shipments OF first crop potatoes
in carload lots began about June stl,.
and the shipments OF the second crop
will begin about the first of Septem-
Der. The roasting ears passed with
July, and corn is now pretty we'll ma
tured. Cotton is i'm blossom, and
presents sight worth bcholding.
Land here is still cheap, ranging in
price from 81 TO $50 per acre. We are
only Il few miles from the famous
Glen Pool oil district, that producesa
large part of the oil sold by the Stand-
ard Oil Company. Natural gas is so
cheap that Mrs. Brophy can't burn up
more than twenty-five cents worth in
week, and She says it beats Ignite
all hollow to cook with. Muskogce
has population OF twenty-five thous-
and, and is situated near the Arkan-
sas river about four miles from the
steamboat docks. Navigation on the
river is being encouraged 10y Uncle
Sam and by private enterprise, and it
no doubt will be great factor in up
building the city. Muskogee also has
five railway trunk lines, as we'll as
trolley lines that are now being built
in every direction 10 neighboring
towns The population is about forty
per cent negro, twenty per cent Indian
and forty per cent white from every

land very fast since the 'rcmoval-os-
restrict ion bill allowing them to sell
went into effect on last July 9th.

that what We are about to tell you is
capable of proof by ascore of people i'm
Linton. There was time when there
was pretty good fishing i'm Beaver
creek. but that was when Petrie,
Lynn, Didszuncit Bartu and other
dwelers along its banks were innocent
and guildless youths and the multi

erected. For years nothing bigger
than six or eight inch chubs-with a

pulled from old Beaver. &c. it is not
remarkable that what happened to j..

gentleman to open his eyes in wonder,
and has caused many questions to be
