STATE MAY lease
BED Of ARKANSAS
BIDS TO BE RECEIVED ON MARCH
. IN TWO TULSA COUNTY
TOWNSHIPS.
School Department BUSY
Fight VIII Result as Others Claim
Propcrty-COntroyer VIII Most
Likely BE the Outcome.

The state school land department
has announced that it will, on March
2, receive bids for oil leases on the
bed of the Arkansas river through
two townships of land in Tulsa county
and will in all probability start there
| by a controversy rivalling in its COM
plicated features the now famous
Turkey island case, which involves
many of the same points.
The Arkansas river at a point
where 1t runs through the Perryman
oil pool has meandered from its old
course, leaving overflow land, which
has now become the bank Of the river.
The Indian and freedman allottes
We're given allotments along the river
river according to the old river chan
mel Now the state, the Creek nation
and the abuttins property owners all
claim the newly made land.
The government is backing up the
claim Of the Creek nation, claiming
that the allottees were given all that
was coming to them and that they
claim on the ground that the river is
not nayigable that far up.
The importance of the fight lies in
tn efact that the property in ques-
is in the heart of the best oil district
in the md-continnent field. Good
producing wells have been drilled
right up to the old river bank on both
sides. Several oil companies have al
ready taken leases from the alottees
of the abutting land and at least one
Of them has brought in a producing
well.
The government recently, through
CommissicEer j. George Wright also
offered for sale the oil leases on $40
acres of the disputed land. some Of
the bids running as high as $1,000 boz
nus and a q per cent royalty, which
gives some idea of the value of the
land. Those bids are still in the
hands of the interior department.
When the winners are announced they
will endeavor to dlsposscss the lessees
holding under the riparian leases the
sa~e land a three-cornered fight viii
be started which will be we'll worth |
watching.

one hundred and fifty bankers and
| bank clerks, members Of the Tulsa
clearing house, listened attentivelS
and with much interest for an hour
last night when Jerome Thrall man
ager of the Kansas City clearing
house, told IN a clear concise way the
inner workings of the Kansas City
clearing house, admitted to be one OF
the most successful in the United
States, Mr.. Thrall was the guest of the
Tulsa Clearing House association, and
following the meeting in the CONNER
cial Club rooms, was the guest OF
honor at a banquet served by the
Clearing House association.
A male quartet entertained the
meeting with several selections, and
were followed by Mr.. Thran, who
took up in turn each of the three most
important branches of the Kansas
City association, explaining in detail
how they were operated. lie was
warm in his praise for Tulsa and for
the Tulsa banks.
Dwells on Advertising.
One of the principal points that
he dwet on and to which his audience
listened most attentively, was the
matter of bank advertisement. He
warned the bankers against what he
termed 'leg-pulling." such as taking
advertisements in a cook book gotten
out by local society, or on pro-
grams, and suggested that through
the clearing house a committee be
appointed to have charge of the ad-
vertising of all the banks and to dis
tribute the charity advertising" He
recommended newspaper advertising
in strong terms. and gave specific
examples of how business had been
brought into Kansas City banks by
pulling advertising campaigns in the
Kansas City papers,
During the course of his address
he took particular interest I'm rec
ommending to the local clearing
house members new ideas that might
be Instituted here. ideas that have
been tried and proven successful by
the Kansas city association.
He strongly recommended clear
ing house examination by an exam
iner appointed by an auditing com
mittee and stated that the individual
banks would find information gath
cred in that way of inestmabe value
in protecting themselves
At the conclusion of his address he
answered many questions regarding
the affairs and conduct of clearing
association. and 1t is probable that
some of the ideas he suggested may
be Incorporated into the Tulsa Clear
ing House association.

Result of Good Work.

The Commercial club has accom-
pllshed many noteworthy things dur
ing the recent year. To Il. ID. Mitch
ell, president, and Secretary Suther-
land, can be attributed the largest
portion OF the force behind the ac-
complishments. About half of Mr.,
Mitchelrs time has been given to
the club, and he has worked un-
ceasingly in the interests of the city
at large. He has had an able sec
ond in this work in the person of
Mr.. Sutherland, while O. II. Leonard
and w. Il. Chastain, the vice presi-
dents have always been on the ag-
proposition.
Under the judicious and careful
guidance of Mr.. Mitchell. the club
has been wiped free of debt. When
Mr.. Mitchell took office there was
$4,000 in unpaid obligations against
the club. Today there is not one
cent of Indebtedness against the or
ganization. Between $4,000 and s4.-
900 has been raised by the club,
largely through the personal efforts
of Messrs. Mitchell and Sutherland.
during the past year for the fnanc-
ing of the boosting propositions, such
as the printing of the widely circu.
lated Tulsa Farts' booklets.
The "DeLuxe" Number $50.
The club now has a membership of
250. paid up men. 1t is hoped to in.
crease this number to at least 400
during the next few months.
A few of the noteworthy accom-
pllshments of the club during the year
1911. which were put through mainly
by the answering loyalty and devo-
ton Of the president and secretary,
are as follows:
