The old Chickasaw Nation, being
practically bounded by the Frisco
and Rock Island railroads on the
east and west, and the Canadian
and Red rivers on the north and
south, contains much of the best
land in the state. 1t has only within
the last five or six years been open
for white settlement, and titles have
only been settled since that time,
but in this short space of time, beau
tifm cities have been built up, mag
nificent farms developed, and the
farmers are on high way to success
and prosperity.
Seasons.
The rainfall of this section of the
country is somewhat greater than
that of the northern and western
part of the state, averaging 80
inches, and is well distributed
throughout the different months OF
the year. Two of the dryest years
ever known in the western states
were 1909 and 1910, and yet this
country produced enormous crops Of
cotton, corn, oats and alfalfa The
rainfall is about the same as Des
Moines, Iowa, and Springfield, ILL.,
The winter season is very short
that part of the country lying south
of the Arbuckle mountains being
at least two or three weeks earlier
than the northern part of the state.
Our grass was green, leaves on the
trees were budding long before this
occurred in other parts of the state;
while the growing season in the fall
lasts much longer. Cotton has more
time to mature, alfalfa and all grass
es grow later.
Crops.
If there is any agricultural crop
grown IN the United States except
rice, that is not produced in this
locality, it has not yet been dis
covered All of the crops grown in
the northern states, thrive to peufec'
ton here, and all crops grown in
the southern states mature as vel
in this part of the country, as in
their former home. Corn, oats, wheaT.
alfalfa, cotton, melons, all kinds Of
fruits, berries, and everything nee
essary to make a perfect farm, will
grow to perfection in this country.
1t gets not too cold to kill the south
ern crops nor too warm to over
heat the northern crops.
Cotton.
The lands in this part of the
country will produce as much cot
ton to the acre as corresponding
lands in any part of the world, while
the fiber is superior to that grown
anywhere in the world except what
is known as Sea Island cotton. Spin
ners all over the world have their |
agents in Oklahoma to buy up the |
Oklahoma fiber. 1t goes direct TO
all of the big manufacturing towns
of Europe, America and Japan. A
premium is paid for Oklahoma cot |
ton.
During the years of 1909 and 1910 |
much land produced cotton which |
sold for more ner acre than the |
purchase price of the land, and land
can yet be found in this part of the
country where the yield of cotton
for one year will pay for the land
and put some additional improve
ments ON besides.

BIG HISTORICAL FEATURE
At the Auditorium Today.

Hands AcI oss the Sea in TO- in
Two reels, for Wednesday and Thurs
day.
The inestimable value of the mo.ing
picture as educator IS proven once
again in tina above mentioned feature,
and as q wei known New York SchCl-
ar remarked, at teaches more history
in 40 minutss than the average school
does in four years"
The Eclair company, who produced
the film, are primarily French con-
Germ, but to keep up with the Ameri
can market they built an American
factory at Fort Lee, N. j. and the
initial output of the studio is Hands
Across the Sea in '76, which is now
considered by experts to be the best
film ever produced in America This
film ID not mere battle story extend
ed to two reels, but represents verit-
able moving color page Of hig events,
covering the period from rs to the
close of the war Space forbids a de
tailed description of the films, but
some of the big scenes are: Wash
ington takes command of the army;
Winter at Vslley Forge; Morgan's RI
hemen; Franklin at the court of
France: attack on the blockhouse:
Lafayette's heroism; the battle of
cxen; blowing up the breastworks; be-
fore the siege of Yorktown; Benedict
Arnold at West Point; capture of An
DIRE and his execution; sur1 ender of
CORVALLIS, and the dawn of indie
pendence.
a glance at the above will give an
idea of what is to be expected. A few
Of the noted characters portrayed are
Gen. George Washington, Benjamin
Franklin, Benedict Arnold, Major An
Dire, Molly Pitcher Farmer Brown,
Marquis de Lafayette, Count Rockam-
beau. Lord CORVALLIS and others.
Besides this big feature there will
be the usual vaudeville acts, and othsr
f.f1
I6, will be shown on Wednesday. and
Thursday only, and sas the vaudeville
will be changed on Thursday as US

days show a chance to witness the

ANNOUNCEMENTS
BREED THEAI Err.
"The FishernAid of BaiIydavid," the
Feature Picture.

The feature picture at the Breed to-
day, entitled The Ffshermaid of Bally-
david. is q wonderful tale of an L<fsh
fishing village Every scene repre-
senting Irish scenery WAS made on the
Emerald isle and by the same COM
pany that so ably presented Rory
O'More, the Irish Honeymoon and
seen at the Breed this season. and
have been the talk of the surrounding
territory, to say nothing of the i'm
n1enSe amount of favorable commend
showered upon in the city proper.
The fisher mans daughter meets a
party of tourists who are passing her
humble little cabin on the shore, and
the picturesque character Of the younS
girl attracts the eye of the broker S
son. who is the lion of the party. Her
father criticzses her for allowing her
self to be duped by man SO far
above her station, and she becomes an
cry and hastily leaves for America,
taking the steamer that followed the
tourists Once in America she starts
on her search, which proves fruit
less and falling asleep on a doorstep
is taken into the home of a passing
policeman The brokers' son reads of
the affair in the next mornings paper
and locates the policeman's home and
explains to The girl that his atten-
tons were only a summer Irritation,
and crowding q roll of bills into the
officers hand, tells him to pay her
passage back to the old country. This
nearly brushes the heart of the trust
ing Irish maid, and after a perilous trip
over the rough sea. we see her wend-
ing her way up the narrow little Irish
street into the door of her old home,
where her good old father and mother
welcome her after her hasty flight.

POLLS THEATER.
woman Against Woman"

Woman Against Woman" again
pleased a very large audience a Polls
theater last night. The play pleased
from the fact that its construction is
OF a nature that combines pathos
heart interest and comedy. It is one
of those plays that had the audience in
tears one moment and directly after in
commissions. splitting their sides laugh
ing at the ridiculous and amusing sit
Hstfons- The company gave a very
capital performance and could not be
exeelled- Miss Victoria Montgomery
and Miss Catherine Clinton the new
second or heavy woman, share honors
each had a varied and different role
the leading lady as the good and vir-
tnous wife and Miss Clinton as the
deploraole home wrecker, whose aim
and ambition was to bring sorrow to
others
The two reels Of moving pictures
shown between the. acts were of an
amusing order ard PLEASED immense
ly. The illustrated songs were also
splendid feature in conjunction with
the production.
