Friday Nigtht Meeting One OF Great
Intercst-shoit TOllss Make Hap
/ by Hearts of Listeners.

A One OF tho principal topics OF con-
llversation yesterday on the streets as
h we'll as at the Commercial club, was
ftho proposed booster trip through tho
east The idea is catching, Enthus-
iasm Is rampant. The pan Is endorsed
everyone. The success OF tho
a sbooster trip made two years ago has
been OF great influence In causing ia
llNorable attitude OF the citizens to-
wards the movement.
The booster trlin through the east
on the former occasion was responsi'
lble for the removal Of many OF Tulsa's
best citizens from points In the east
1to this place. These men have a
s]kindly feeling towards booster trains,
Hand such a train was the cause OF
'lmany removals to tho land of promise
.iwhere they have laid successful busi-
fness careers
n At the meeting OF the Commercial
Club Friday night It was proposed to
run q booster train from here to Bos-
ston and into all of the eastern man
fufacturing states.
The itjninerary as then mapped
6out IL as follows
The train is to leave Tulsa on May
f1. going from here to st. Louis, From
'thcre the train will go to Chicago
fGrand Rapids, Buffalo, Rochester,
q Syracuse, Utica, Albany Pitt7field'
tSpringfield Hartford, New Haven
Providence, Fall River, Boston, Lynn,
Lowell Manchester Concord, Rutland
Glen Fall schnectady Binghnmpton,
a Elmlra. Brldford, Dunkirk. Erie,
A sAshtabua. Youngstown, Akron, TIT
fin Fort Wayne, Elkhart, South Bend
tChicalo Milwaukee, Jonesville, Rock
tford Chicago, Peoria, Jacksonville
Nspringfield and St Louis, returning
ato Tulsa on May 10.
The foregoing route is not definitely
tdecided upon. The route is to be
ftbreshed out during the next few days
aat the Commercial club. 1t Is the
plan for each man on the trip TO
nav his own way. If 125 tickets are
sold at $I42.3O 1or the trip,
railways promise the Tulsa boosters
all of the oars they need,
A short trip, which Will elmin-
ate the New England states and
(which is to cost about 500 each Is
8also being contemplated. Arguments
for and against are being put tor'
ward relative to the trip extending
into the New England states,
The arguments for the New Eng
land soIourn on the trip that In OKLA
.boma the greatest staple crop when
Factories arc dependent upon, cotton
tis grown, and that cotton can be mace
up here as cheaply AS In the more
effete east.
Those against the trip into the east
claim that the manufacturers pa'k
there are Just a little bit "bull dog
IN their ways and that they can never
I be persuaded to leave their rocky
hills.
The opposing argument to this IS
that with such advantages as abound
4 here the manufacturers can he per-
suaded to remove into this neighbor-
I hood when practical demonstration
5of why they should move is made TO
them. Get one cotton mill In the
west, and yCu'll have more out here
than you can imagine" is the state
ment OF those who want the trip
TO extend into the eastern states.
X The smoker given Friday night was
