Special to Daily Leader
Atlanta, Ga, Mar. 9--Before the
Southern Commercial congress, now
meeting in this city, Prof. Charles n.
Gould, director Of the Oklahoma Geo
ligcal display, forcefully told OF the
wonderful progress made By that
state He said:
No equal area that the sun shines
upon has made such rapid material
progress during the last decade as
has the state of Oklahoma Her his
tory reads like a romance Those OF
Us who have been actively engaged
In aiding this development, as well
as those from other states who have
watched the progress of Oklahoma, Of
ten stand aghast before the wonderful
latent possibilities OF the STATE.
History.
Twenty-one years ago the greater
part of Oklahoma was a bare prairie
In the Eastern part OF the state, which
was owned and occupied by Indians
Of the Five Civilized Tribes, there
were few small villages, little more
than trading posts, built up largely
Of wooden shacks. Western Okla.
hOma was then totally unsettled. IN
April, 1899. the first land N the ter
ritory of Oklahoma was thrown open
to settlement, Cities sprang up as II
by magic. An area half as large as
chat of the state of Maryland, was
settled In a day. From time to time,
various indian reservations were
thrown open to the public and other
cities sprang up over night Durifig
the past ten years the land of the Five
Civilized Tribes in Eastern Oklahoma
have been allotted, and much OF II
made available for purchase. Farms
have been improved. mines and quar-
vleil have been opened, factories erect
ed. railroads built and cities have
grown, until, today, Oklahoma stands
at the forefront OF the sisterhood OF
states
Topography.
Oklahoma Is larger than any state
east OF The Mississippi river, the tota
area being a little over 10000 square
mites, Generally speaking, the state
Is a level plain. sloping from an ele
walton Of about 5000 feet about sea
level In the northwest corner, to less
than 400 feet In the southwest corner
Western Oklahoma is flat or rolling
prairie. In southern and eastern Ok
lahoma, this plain Is interrupter BY a
number OF ranges of high hills, Gigni
fled by the term mountains, These
are known as the Wichita Arbuckle
Ouachita and Ozark mountains. Th'

In Oklahoma is $4,000, 100000 tons.
These facts being true, 1t is obvious
that so far as we have available data
Oklahoma possesses a greater amcuni
of fuel than any other state. When Il
Is remembered that approximately SO
percent OF all the power used in man
ufacturihg and other industrial pur
poses Is derived from one Of these
three ldvls, Il will be easily under
stood what the future development OF
Oklahoma may be.
But not in fuels alone is Oklahoma
rich, The asphalt deposits in the
Southern part of the STATE are the
most extensive In the Union. Com.
plete data Is not available, but at
conservative estimate, there /.
enough asphalt In this region to pave
all the streets OF all the cities in the
United States for the next hundred
years, aud even then one would scare
ly know from where the material was
taken
The lead and zinc deposits In north
eastern Oklahoma are among the most
prolific in this country. Within the
last two years million dollars have
been spent in mines and mills on a
single square mile near Miami, anu
more than that amount has been tax
en- from the ground at this place in
the form Of lead and zinc ore. Ihe
area in which we may expect to find
lead and zinc in paying quantities
includes several thousand square
miles.
Oklahoma possesses more gypsum
than any other state. II is estimated
that there, are l2S00O.O0O, 900 tons OF
this material In sight In the western
counties which Is enough TO keen
l00 mills, each manufacturing 10o
tons a day busy for $4,000 years.
Oklahoma has enough salt water 90
ing 10 waste to make 100 carloads OF
salt a day. Her glass sand deposits
are among the most extensive OF those
Of any state. There Is in Southern
Oklahoma a ledge OF glass sand. aver

Twenty or more varieties of shades

area Of more than 100 square miles

famous Bedford stone, occurs in very

other states. Our people are today
paying the market price plus the
freight FOR the greater part OF the ar
ticles which they use. At the same
time the farmers of Oklahoma are
ale to sell their five staple crops;
corn, wheat, cottoht cattle and hogs,
only in outside markets, and for these
things they receive the market price
less the freight
To quote few specific examples:
Oklahoma has enough salt water go
ing to waste to make 100 carloads OF
salt day, yet all the salt used in the
state comes from Kansas, Michiagn
and Louisiana. There is enough lime
stone in Oklahoma to burn all the
lime that the world will ever use, yet
practically all our lime comes from
Texas, Arkansas and Missouri With
as good shale as any state possesses
practically all the brick terra Gotta
and other clay products used is i'm
ported from Kansas and Missouri.
Oklahoma has as good granite as can
be found in the world, yet in our cem-
eteries are monuments, and in our
large buildings, pillars and cap stones
made OF granite from Scotland Yer
mont and Massachusetts, but praoti-
cally none from Oklahoma With the
largest deposits Of gypsum in the
United States, considerable amount
OF our gypsum plaster comes from
Kansas and Texas. With Portland
cement rock enough to supply cement
for all the world we have not three
cement plants and much or the ma
terial we use comes from Kansas or
Texas There is, in Oklahoma, but
one cotton mill, three glass factor
les, one powder plant, and six small
oil refineries. We manufacture no
shores nor clothing. Within the last
year. two packing plants have been
established. There are a few canning
factories in various paris of the state
and most OF the towns Of any size
have creameries.
III is safe to say however, that at
the present time, not 10 per cent Of
the materials used for building, food
or clothing by the people oil Okla
homa, are manufactured In the state.
There Is no state in the Union where
opportunities are better where great
er returns may be made in invest
ment. or where the people are more
willing and anxious to give support
TO legitimate manufacturing indus
tries. We appreciate the TACT that
the last of those industries is a part
of pioneer conditions We accepted
these conditions when we came to the
new country, but because we were
willing to accept these conditions, is
no reason, in itself, why we should
always be willing 10 live under them
AS soon as plants and factor
les are established, and mines and
quarnes opened, and the workment
necessary to carry on these indus
tries are here, our farmers will be
able to raise a still larger variety
of crops and will receive a higher
price for the same
