'ai"os' Ohio. filed upon two twenty
five-foot lots at the corner of Harvey
and Main streets, which is the center
OF the shopping section, and paid
s16.49 fees at the land office on each
lot. That is all they cost him. He
has never built upon them. has never
occupied them in any way. and does
not even live in Oklahoma. but he
pay his taxes. On his last visit. in
June, 1910, he was offered $4,000 in
cash for the property, which still re-
mains vacant, although surrounded by
skyscrapers. He explained his refusal
use for the money, and that lots are
growing in value faster than any rev
enue he might derive from the rentals
of buildings. How long he proposes to
allow the property to remain vacant he
has not yet disclosed.
Among the new buildings now in
progress Of erection is the ten-story
fireproof Skirvin Hotel. 1t occupies a
corner lot Is by 14O feet in size. which
cost c. L. Turley $3.50 for filing fees

Free From
Mortgages.

MVtS6oScS' nal settlers got their
townsite and farms for practically
nothing. All they paid was a nominal
fee to the register of the land Office,
and while most of them brought little
working capital and began in a small
way. the increase Of values was imme-
date and there has never been a back
set of any consequence in Oklahoma
real estate.
Prices for city property are very high.
That has forced an extraordinary ex-
pansion and has pushed people of small
means out on the prairies. so that the
city now covers an area sufficient for
ten times Its population. These scat
tered resident sections are made Access
sible by eighty-fve miles of trolley
railways. and neighbors can communi-
cate over eighty-seven hundred tele-
phones. Almost everybody seems to
own an automobile and the atmos-
phere Is poisoned with the odor of
gasoline.
There are 1900 homes . for the
$1,000 Inhabitants. an average of q
home for every six inhabitants, men,
women and children: the building per-
mits last year represented an invest
ment of s5.9OO.OOS. and the real es-
tate transfers reached a total Of $685.
$4,000.
You can get some idea Of the growth
Of the city and the solid foundations
upon which it Is built. from the fol-
lowing statement, showing the valua
tion Of property for taxation for the

OKLAHOMA CITY. March 0, 1911.
The growth of Oklahoma City has ex-
ceeded that Of any town in human
history. In April. 1880,
Rapid its site was a naked prai-
c,..l RE. Six months after
oAo"tA' there was a settled. per-
manent town of 4,151 inhabitants. Dur
ing the next ten years it increased to
1OOS1. according to the federal census
of 1900. and ten years later. on the 1st
of June. 1910, the enumerators re-
ported 64.2O0 Inhabitants. In April,
1911, twenty-five years after the great
rush. Oklahoma City will undoubtedly
have $1,000 or more. The present rate
of increase Is not less than 5000 q
year, and that is a small estimate
The average increase for the ten years
between 1900 and 1910 was 5,416 per
year.
The most interesting and remarkable
Phase OF this expansion is the perma-
nent character and architectural beauty
OF the residences and the business
blocks. There are examples of both
that would do credit to Boston or Paris
or Berlin. Oklahoma City has the
most beautiful and perfect schoolhouse
have ever seen. and any visitor will
accept the assurance that 1t is the
finest In the world. A dry goods store
on one of the corners of the shopping
district is as perfect an architectural
gem as Tiffany's store in New York or
Pierpont Morgan's library, and several
Office buildings and mercantile estab-
lishments might be safely selected as
models for students of architecture.
There is a model newspaper Office
which Is quite as much up-to-date as
any in Chicago or New York. and the
clubs. hotels and churches are equal in
architectural merit and convenience.
Oklahoma City has an advantage
which. towns in the east have not en-
joyed. There was nothing to tear down
here: there was nothing to remove or
repair. Every building site was new
and clear and unincumbered. SO that
the Inhabitants had chance to start
even.

The Chicago packers were induced to
come here by subsidies offered by the
town. Each company was given bonus
Of $500, 900 cash. contributed in amounts
varying from SO to $4,000. by. the
merchants and other citizens. AS
further inducement, the municipality
exempted them from taxation for Ave
years, and agreed to furnish each of
them. free of cost, 100000 gallons Of
water daily for Ave years. to extend
water mains and gas mains to the
plants, to establish a fire station at
each Of them and to build a paved road
to their gates The street car COM
pany also agreed to extend its lines
10 the gates, and thus make the pack
ing houses accessible to the employees.
The same liberal spirit has been
shown toward other industries, and
will continue to be the permanent pol
icy OF the city.
