Arkansas river and the fertile soil of

rushes down toward Tulsa. Another
mile station and then another is
passed, and the people of the coun-
tryside leave or board the car at these
after having shopped in Tulsa. A
journey of seven miles Is made, and
then the stranger leaves the car at
the Home" station at the Sand
Springs orphanage, within few
blocks f the townsite.
When He Arrives.
Here he finds terminal that is as
bustling as the one from which he
Just came, and there are kegs of nails
and bolts and piles Of stone and other
building material in evidence. Just
to the rear of the station he sees a
long stone building under construc-
ton. He inquiries, and ascertains that
when finished the labor and material
blend together in one of the best
equipped flower houses In the state.
AS he cripples over numerous switch
ing tracks, he sees long rows of native
lumber piled high, the product of the
forests and the nearby sawmill COM
bined. The principle of business be-
gins to be borne upon the air. There
is noise and racket. He sees large
canning factory, one of the largest in
the state and fully equipped, standing
near the railway tracks. A little far
ther on is the building that houses
the Sand Springs laundry, a model ar
rangement of late-day methods of
making dirty clothes clean.
Stability on the Face.
A greater air of stability, and pro-
gress as we'll Is seen when several
hundred tales of cotton outline them
selves along by the side of the cot
ton gin, built on sidetrack. This
gin. while small. has taken care of
offerings from far and near, and loGd
after load Is being marketed there
miles distant.
Standing hard by and in between
the meshtj of switching tracks that
ramify a score or more of acres of
ground, Is the two-story brick build
ing of the Imperial Manufacturing
company an institution which will be
devoted to the making of new type
of washing machines, which, when
fully equipped. will represent one Of
the best factory buildings in Okla
homa. The finished product of this
concern is a machine that may be run
with electricity, small motor attach
forming the basis of power.
The company is now operat-
ing at Independence Kan, and is
working night and day to get a sup
ply Of machines on hand sufficiently
large to tide over demands during the
process Of moving.
A COvey of Factories.
Still standing in the same spot, the
stranger may discern in large letter
ing the three-story home of the Nu
Flake Cereal company, a concern
which left its old home at Lockport,
N. Y, on account of the advantageous
which this one spot In
the southwest offers. The first ope
rations of this plant will begin early
this week when the work of manu-
featuring delicious breakfast edible
will be taken up.
The II. Il. Braymer company is al
ready ensconced in its two factory
buildings and is daily turning out ma
terials that are used in the opera
tions in the oil fields. The chiefest
articles of manufacture are sucker
and pull rods. General oil field sup
plies form the foundation of work
carried on in these two buildings.
A little further on among the tracks
stand the buildings of the Sand
Springs Bottle factory. At this time
but three of the necessary eight or
ten structures necessary to complete
the plant have been completed, but a
box factory and other necessary build
