FOUR STORY OFFICE BUILDING
Big Contractor COntemplates Forming
Stock Company TO Build Modern
Office Building Here.

There is a move on foot started by
prominent building contractor, re-
siding at Muskogee, to erect in Du-
rant a modern, strictly fire proof of
flee building of four or five stories
and that gentleman is now making
plans for forming stock company to
undertake the venture.
The gentleman whose name is not
made public just yet at his own re-
quest, was in the city recently and in
an interview with a representative OF
this paper made the following state
ment:
"Durant Is unquestionably the best
town in Oklahoma of its size, and
this fall there is more business being
done here than i'm many cities much
larger than Durant 1t is situated in
the heart and core of the best agri-
cultural region in Oklahoma, and I,
for enc, have unlimited faith in the
city's future. for as sure as the world
it will be city of fifteen thousand
population within ten years. l see a
demand here for a modern office
building, and am sure that every Of
flee suite in a modern four story
building here, would be taken soon
after such a building, properly locat-
ed, was completed"
1sbo oNofod fhaf h,,fld
ing suited to all needs could be built
for between $4,000 and $55,OOO, and
that he proposed to invest $4,000 for
himself in the undertaking. He stated
that he had been negotiating for two
sites, but withheld the exact loca-
tions as negotiations, he said, were
not well enough under way to Justify
public announcement.
Continuing he said: "Durant has
grown little bigger and little bet
ter commercially and educationally
every year, and there are many new
families of the good citipen type COM
ing to Durant every week. During
the past few years, your two largest
dry goods stores have been establish
ed, and they are both doing a good
business-yet those who were here
before get their share still. The de-
mand for your schools has grwn and
more teachers are employed than a

sions are coming in, farmers from the

TWO FARMS FOR
DEMONSTRATION
Frisco win Conduct Two Farms near
Durant Furnishes Highest Class
Of Seed and Instructions.

AS was announced in these columns
some time ago that the Frisco Rail-
way Company is to operate two DEM
onstration farms near Durant the
coming year, and on Thursday of
this week Mr.. N. t. McAlister, Of Sa-
pulpa, was here and secured two
farms for this work.
]. e. Brown farming land owned
by s. H. Smith, two and half miles
southwest of the city, will plant the
following crops from seed furnished
by the Frisco and under the instruc-
tions of Mr.. McAlester: Five acres
cotton. four acres of corn and COW
peas in alternate rows, two acres of
Ferterita, and one or two acres OF
Spanish Peanuts.
Sam b. Ross, living a mile and n
half southeast of the city will plant
the following crop under Mr.. Meal
ister's instructions and with seed fur
nished by the Frisco: -Four acres of
NOA anu WV peas III diAVA hoeC AOWas
five acres of cotton, three acres of
Ferterita.
In this demonstration farm work,
the railroad company fUrnishes the
seed, which is of the finest quality,
thoroughly acclimated, aud gives de /.
tailed instructions, and the agent Wis
its the farms once or twice during the
farm. The Frisco asks no compensa-
tion for this whatever. and does this
work with the belief that more .scien-
tlfic farming methods, and better seed
selection will multiply 0klahoma's
farm product output many times over,
which of course would increase raid
road freight tonnage, and in the long
run repay the company for it's pres
ent expense, and at the same time
further the prosperity of the country.

3D.. Baker, the WeHKnown
Patriarch OF Agency is
Nearing the Century Mark
Possesses All His Faculties,
Despits His Advanced
Age; Has Remarkable
Memory Of Early Days.

To see Ottumwa become one of the
most important cities Of the middle.
west has been the privilege of B. D.
Baker, Agency's beloved monagenarian
who last Monday reached the ninety.
second milestone in his useful life.
Mr.. Baker has this week been receiy-
ing the congratulations of his numer-
Gus friends, many of whom have call.
ed at the residence of his daughter,
Mrs. H. A. Reynolds in Agency to pay
their respects.
When Ottumwa was in her swad-
ding clothes, Mr.. Baker located in
Agency, and he tells numerous inter-
esting "reminiscences Of his visits to
this city before even a street was
paved or factory of any Importance
was built.
With the Indians of this country,
with whom he lived for some time,
Mr.. Baker Is keen sympathizer. He
tells of the many ways in which the
redskins were cheated out of their
money. A company of whites formed
for the purpose of securing the land
belonging to the Indians, came to
Agency and assembled the Redmen
and the money was distributed by
dropping it into their laps as they
passed from one to another Shortly
after trinkets took the place of the
money, the poor Indians having paid
their hard cash for the almost worth
less trinkets.
At the time of the payment of
