1887, in Leon, Iowa, and grew to-"
womanhood here; loved and respect
ed by all who knew her; and died;
June 10, 1911, at about l p. in. at
her home in this city, twenty-four
years, one month and twenty-nine

Sister lnez was converted and bap-
tized under the labors of Elder E.
w. Sheppard, early in life, uniting
with the church of her choice, and
was married to Bert Scott, December
25, 1906.
To this union was born one child
which is left to mourn the loss of a
mother.
For some months sister Scott has
been battling for life against tuber-
culosis, but finally the enemy over
came her, and she fell asleep in
death to await the resurrection
morn, when all will be set free from
pain and death.
The funeral took place Thursday
forenoon, at the Adventist Christian
Church, conducted by her old pastor,
who formerly resided at Leon, who
spoke words of comfort from the
Apostle Paul, Wherefore comfort
one another with these words" to
very large concourse Of friends, who
had gathered to pay their last trib-
ute of love and respect to a neighbor,
schoolmate and friend The floral
offerings were very beautiful. Mrs.
Scott leaves loving companion, one
son, three years old, father, mother,
five sisters, four brothers, who were
all present at the funeral, and num-
Der of relatives, with a large circle
OF friends to mourn her loss, but
they mourn not as those who have no
hope. 1nterment in the Leon GEM

BIG BUSINESS IN SIGHT.

The bringing in Of good well by
the Prairie OH and Gas company on
the west side OF the Arkansas river,
thus proving the extension Of the Per-
rymnn pool across that river from
east to west, is the most important
event that has occurred IN oil de-
yelopment In the vicinity Of Tulsa
since the opening Of the Glenn pool.
The territory opened up lies partly
in the river bed, which will no doubt
west bank Of the river Just how ex-
tensive, Of course, It is now impos-
sIble TO say, but the indications are
that It viii cover a scope Of several
hundred acres.
There are two features Of the stu
alton that call for special mention.
One is that the sand Of the Perryman
pool is found at shallow depth, and
the wells drilled in IT are inexpensive.
thus giving great advantage to the
owners, The other is that the owner
ship Of the land that appears to be
within the limits of the pool IL held
both IN fee and by lease largely by
citizens of Tulsa This means double
revenue to come to Tulsa from the
development of the pool, the direct
revenue that Tulsa operators win get
from the oil actually produced as a
whole from the business that viii
arise from extensive drilling opera
tions. Already the oil wen supply
houses Of tho city are busy sending
out long strings Of loaded wagons for
the new oil field, and SCENE OF ac-
tivity exists for miles up and down
the Arkansas river between Turkey

spring.

Once again has rolled around the

ful period of the year; beautiful, per
haps not in sky or street or cold, raw
winds. but If In nothing else, beauti,
ful in the memories Of the past, True,
the songbirds have flown to their
winters home In the southland. The
woods are stripping naked the fields
are bitten brown. Every flower that
blossomed the summer through is
faded. and It's frosted foliage is sifted
TO snuff by the keenness of the ele-
ments. Yet kindly November's hands
are still outstretched to mankind,
showering untold. and too oft. unap-
precated, blessings from her wreathed
cornucopla.
For in Noyember's hands lie the
last treasures Of fields and forests.
The last garnering in prudent toll is
lying in crib and bin. A fruitful sea
son is rounding out existence amidst
the plaudIts Of exultant hearts. While
the joys of Summer seem like tale
that is told, stIll there fingers a pur-
pie haze I'm the skies, Of gray mono,
tone of cloud and crimson of sun, that
depicts the hard struggle Nature en-
dures to ever be pleasing to the eye.

cur OUT THE TRAVELLING
MERCHANT.


! About this season Of the year tho
about for some place to get rid of his
surplus plundcr. He usually looks
over the map and picks out some COM
munity, unloads a car or two OF his
wares and after renting temporary
quarters hires an auctioneer and
starts In. As long as he can delude
the public into falling for his game
he keeps the business running. When
the picking begins to get short he
closes down, packs up his remnants
and departs for another field He
folds his tont, and nike the Arab Of
old, silently steals away. These itin-
Grant travelling merchants are In tho
class of peddlcrs. They ought to be
treated as such. Any other course
is unfair TO the local merchants who
day by day contribute year in and
year out to the upbuildlng of the COM
munIty not only through the q mess
they conduct, but in various other
ways, do they help to build up a city.
This Is an old, old subject, and
many people may think it has been
harped on unul It is threadbare, but
wherever the plan Is adhered to Of
patroni2ing the home dealers the
prosperity ana the growth of the COM
munlty is most noticeable There Is
where the good towns are built. The
occasion for these remarks NJ this
time Is the presence Of one of these
tramp concerns in Tulsa with an auc-
tion sale of lot of stuff that can no
doubt be duplicated at less money
from the home merchants II they
wanted to carry that sort Of junk. But
our home merchants are here to stay.
They know that the goods they sell
must stand the test The customers
! they have must be meet day after day
all through the year They cannot
affort to resort to sharp practices, II
they felt so disposed. But with the
foreign outfit it Is different. They
are here to get the money and then
get away as speedily as possible.
The World feels that It is taking n
broad and patriotic stand when 1t APP
! peals to the citizens of Tulsa 20 eXer-
else little common sense as well as
real patriotism by cutting out the
! transient tribe with their auctions,
their plunder and their tricks of
| trade. We are trying to build a city
here. We want people to come here
and engage in business on perma~
nent basis, We do not need and do
not want the tramp auctioneers, eth
en- domestic or foreign. If all the
gcwgaws Of the entire Jap nation were
| offered at auction in Tulsa and the
people OF this city were foolish
enough TO spend their hard-carneu
wealth for that sort of stuff, It might
add to the cash balance Of the for
eignors, hut It would only make our
/ home people that much poorer, and
what they get when the gilt wears
OFF, won't be what they thought they
were buying.
Beware Of these establishments.
and shuu them as YOU would pesti-
/ lcncc. We believe in the freedom Of
trade but not that kind. There ought
TO be pride and patriotism enough 60
make It decidedly Improbable for
these outside concerns TO send their
stuff here and try to palm It or on
the public. They are in the same
class with tramps aud ought to be
