The Building Ready for Use by
September I, 1912.

busy horde of men and teams are
oXfavatng on the northeast corner of
Fourth street aud Boston avenue, for
what is To be 1ulsa's largest and fin
est Office building Work was start
ed Tuesday and from the progress al
ready made It is easy to see that the
contractors will finish the eight story
Clinton building by the time agreed
upon, September ], 1912.
The site is one of the best in the
city. II is on high point, overlook
ing most of the city. The building
will be two stories higher than The
handsome Pioneer building, directly
across the street from it, and viii
reach as high In the air as the ten
story hotel on Third street
The Erickner-Laws Construction
company has the contract for erecting
the structure. Only extremely severe
weather conditions will halt building
operations at any time between now
and September Several thousand
cubic yards of dirt will have 10 be re
moved first. but from the large num-
ber of men now employed on this
work, there is every indication that
the task of laying the foundation can
begin within two or three weeks.
The need Of another large office
building in Tulsa has been apparent
for some time and Fred =. Clinton
realized this fact some time ago when
he started the task of financing the
proposition. Reservations of office
space are being made at present,
when not even the foundation is in,
and it is predicted that every Office in
the structure will be rented long be-
fore its occupancy.
The building is to be so so feet
in dimensions and will be built of re-
inforccd concrete. Not a piece of
wood will go into the entire building.
will be on par with any building in
the state.
The structure will cost not less than
$125, 900. The Boston avenue side of
the building will be finished in bro
mide oolitic stone, procured from the
Robert Galbreath quarries at Bro
mide. okla. Oneuof the features OF
the building will be the modern cleo
trio elevators, circulating ice water,
on every floor, a complete stationery
vacuum cleaning plant and outside
ventilation and light for every room.
The architect is J. p. Curtain of
Tulsa, who has designed some of the
finest structures in this section and
who is an expert on modern office
buildings.

This from the Oil and Gas: The
United States supreme court has Just
rendered decision whereby the okla
homa gross revenue law, enacted in
1910, is declared unconstitutional. The
law was designed to apply to corpora
tions other than railroads, and provid.
ed for tax on their gross revenue in
addition TO the regular ad valorem tax.
II specially mentioned private refriger-
ator and express car companies. pipe
lines. electric companies and telegraph
companies and "all other companies"
AS a consequence it applied to all oil
producing companies in the state, and
its adoption was contested by the oil
interests on the grounds that II was
grossly unfair and would work Sc.
rious hardship, If not to all Of the
interests in the oil fields. most assur-
edly those least able to stand such
vicious legislation--the small concern.
The statute was taken to the supreme
court by the oil interests. and its an
nulment is gratifying to the producers
throughout the Oklahoma fields. many
of whom are residents Of Pitisburg.
and have their offices In this city.

It was thought here from tho IN.
formation received from Washington,
as published in Yesterdays World, that
the matter Of leasing the Unbiased por"
tion of the Usage would rest in abey-
ance for the time being at least, and
that the question would be re-submit-
ted TO the Usage council. Assistant
Secretary, Adams intimation that no
favored the system suggested by Kapp-
Ter & Merrillat, attorneyf for the
Usage tribe, to-wit: That the lands
offered for lease in tracts not 10 eX-
ceed 10000 acres. and also on frac-
tional parts thereof of not less than
GAO acres each. would be acceptable to
the oil men. However, from Washing.
ton comes the news that the corpora
tions interested in taking the blanket
lease are greatly dissatisfied with the
suggestion. and Intimate plainly that
II is the opinion of themselves and
their associates this plan will oper-
ate against the interests Of the small
producer. Mr.. F. j. White, upon whom
the responsibility Of presenting the
matter has fallen, wired the World az
follows:
"Our plan as submitted, required NJ
to drill 1870 wells, one on each 4,S00
acre block. The stock in the company
to be underwritten by so independent
producers subscribing $4,000 each.
and the books Of the corporation to
remain open unconditionally for thirty
days to give everybody a chance to
subscribe for the stock in any amount
up to SIS, 900"
Mr.. White, in whom the oil me1
have implicit confidence, is doubtless
sincere in his belief that the plan out
lined above Is the best for all con-
cerned and will no doubt bring the
matter before the oil men In detsNil at
a future date Had the matter been
laid before the meeting of the produc-
ers there might have been more ad-
herents to this plan, especially In view
of the fact that bidding on wildcat
stuff means the loss Of thousands of
dollars which the Osages will receive
as an unearned increment and for
which no value will accrue to the oil
men in the aggregate. This, too, in
the face of sixth royalty.
On the other hand, the consensus
OF opinion among oil men seems to be
that for the sake of the principle in
volved the money must be sacrificed,
with no hope Of ever again receiving
any part of it. Mr. White and his
associates deserve unstinted praise for
the ability displayed in organizing and
bringing together so large a number
of Independent oil men, and it is to be

A friend of the Central Fuel com.
pany advocates the argument that at
the time the contract with the Texas
company. whereby the Central Fuel
company was to pay the Texas com
pany $4,000 per month pipage, was
signed, that the Central Fuel company
believed that they had fully 10000
barrels of production, but when the
Central took possession there was only
5000 barrels, which accounted for the
bad deal.
