Boley, Okla, was founded by John
I. Le1t"lch, and other influential col
ored men, nine years ago. 1t is the
youngest, but also the largest exclu-
slVe negro and Indian town in the
world.
In the open forest, remote from civ.
lllzation, a handful Of red and black
men, who held that voluntary segrega-
ton was the only solution OF certain
vexed race problems, set about prov
ing their theory in practical way
The city has grown to 5000 popula.
ton. There are churches. schools and
stores, but there is not white per-
son in town or In the surrounding
country. There are hotels where Wis
ltlng whites may stop, but none will
be allowed to purchase land or remain
as citizens
The community has kept pace with
the town, as something over two thou
sand Indian and negro farmers are cul-
tlvating the soil. Boley has a model
city government under control Of the
black race. The citizens are peace
able and thrifty.
1t may be said, to the credit OF these
black and Indian people, that no So
looms, poolrooms, or houses of ques-
tionable character, exist in their re-
markable little city. Loafers and dis
turbers are made to move on. Cot
ton-gins, sawmills, lumber yards and
many factories are among enterprises
established, besides 150 cclored mer-
chants. The trade to the city comes
exclusively from Indian and negro
people. The leading citizens are boost
ing the town to $4,000 population.
Among the essential materials that
help the town are churches OF five
different faiths.

HEMP MEN COMING HERE.
Invited to Meet Dr.. Saleeby Of Phi
ippines for Conference,

The War Department bureau OF in
sular affairs has invited a number OF
the leading fiber manufacturers and
brokers of the country to send repre-
sentatives here next week to meet DR..
Murad NJ. Saleeby, chief Of the fiber
division of the Philippine department
of agriculture. who will arrive here in
4 few days. He desires to confer with
them regarding standard grades re-
quired by the American trade.
The Philippine Legislature recently
enacted Legislation establishing stand
ard grades of Manila hemp and other
fbers produced in the islands and pro-
vidng for governmental grading OF
such ibers. Hemp Is the leading arri-
Gle of export from the islands. and to
them the world looks for its entire
supply of true Manila hemp. or abaca.
The recent act of the Philippine legis-
lature is regarded as of such great
that Mr.. Saleeby was sent
to the United States to study the prob
lem with the brokers and manufactur-
