Again Tulsa Is surrounded by a
magnificent agricultural country No
city I'm Oklahoma can slf pass her in
this respect. Last year was not n
particularly good year and yet Tulsa
County produced $50, 900 bushels Of
corn and ginned 1O,2O0 bales Of cot
ton. This year has been remarkable
for its drought but IL is confidently
expected the yield OF corn will eX-
ceed 100000 bushels. and that at
least 10000 bales Of cotton Will be
ginned.
All kinds OF fruits and vegetables
do well I'm and around Tulsa, Irish
potatoes yield two crops OF good
quality yearly, Tomatoes thrive any
where here, while melons and can
teloupes. better IN quality than those
raised further south, simply flourish.
All kinds Of fruit do well. Tulsa 3
apples are famous and won the
bronze medal at the St Louis Worlds
! Fair. Berries yield big crops and are
found most profitable.
It should be borne IN mind that
agriculture, as well as almost every
thing else, Is In It's infancy IN Tulsa
County Under the conditions which
! prevailed up TO short time ago It
was impossible for the white man to
own farm. The country around
| Tulsa, has, as consequence, not kept
pace with the city, but she ls coming
more and more every day The
county commissioners are doing a
wonderfully good work In roads and
bridges, lands are being bought by
| skillful farmers, crops are being
raised that tho aborlgines never
dreamed Of. experiments in agrl-
ture are being made on every hand,
and Tulsa. the county seat, with her
splendid railroad facilities, Will be
the greatest beneficiary from all
these good things

The city Of Tulsa stands today as
ono OF the very best evidences that
advertising pays. No city I'm the
Southwest is better or more widely
known than this little Queen City on
the Arkansas River. IN tho north
eastern portion OF the richest state
In all Uncle Sans domain
There must be, and there is a rea-
son why Tulsa SHOULD be so widely
known. 1t would be more appro-
PIRATE to say that there are many
reasons This article Will try to
enumerate some Of them
Fifteen years ago Tulsa was a call
station on tho Frisco railroad. It
was typical Indian village, and
passengers surveyed II with curiosity
as they passed through on their way
going north or south. Many Of the
curious OF those days regret today
that they did not stop off at the
Indian village and buy land in It's
vicinity Had they done so they
would now be either milllonarles or
immensely rich.
Fifteen years ago two stores sup
piled the needs OF the people In a
radius OF many miles. Today the
mon who ran these stores are among
the grand young citys most inde-
pendent citizens and could have been
far more wealthy If they had only
known the future. Fifteen years ago
thousands OF head OF cattle roamed
the prairies Is the nelghborhood OF
Tulsa, and thousands were yearly
shipped from Tulsa and from Red
Fork (four miles away to tho great
markets OF the country.
Fifteen years ago the stOckman
and his cowboys, both Indians and
white, dominated this section OF the
country and II was then really and
truly part OF the wild and woody
West" Crime was rampant, and the
'surroundlng hills afforded sufficient
refuge for gangs OF outlaws hiding
from the law.
CIVILIZATION APPEARS.
Nine years ago things began 10
change In Tulsa and the year 1900

over one thousand The rich lands
tho fertile valleys surrounding her
brought about this change for men

With the advent Of the farmer

Observance OF the law. and Tulsa
kept on growing slowly. but surely,

FORMER NORWICH MAN

Jchn T. Ford Identified by His
 Brother.

The man who was killed at the MontazIi avenue cut. New London. on the New Haven railroad last Friday was identified on Monday as resi- dent of New London. and formerly of Norwich. and one who was respected by all who had his acquaintance. The man was John T. Ford. whose home vas at the corner of Washington and Colt streets, New London, where he resided with his mother and sister. They formerly lived at 1S0 Boswell avenue in this city and he was em- ployed at the Hopkins 6 Allen factory.
 Mir.

 John Ford was somewhat peculiar and was in the habit of absenting him. self from home at times, it was stated without notifying his people as to where he was going. It was this fact that avoided alarm on the part of the Ford family until Monday, for they ex- pected the son and brother to appear ss usual after he had been gone a few days
