OIL MAN STRIKES 1T RICH

The stories of fortune that have
been made in Oklahoma Oil Compan-
les are almost unbelievable, but any
one can easily verify the facts. 1t is
reliably reported that the income Of
one oil millionaire is now $4,000 per
day, and it is said that this man
came to Tulsa years ago with only
$40 in his pocket. There is hardly
a man, woman or child living in Tulsa
who is not interested in one way or
another in the oil business All this
territory is rich in oil and gas, and
it is said that over ninety per cent
of the companies operating in this
district have been successful.
It costs about $4,000 to drill we'll.
but when you get production OF
100 barrels per day. which is a rea-
sonable average, it does not take very
long to pay for itself, and as you can
drill we'll to every five acres, a
small tract Of land can easily make
millions of dollars
Two of the most famous oil fields
in the world are tho Glenn Pool and
the Cushing Pool. The Gushing field
was opened up by two men who had
less than $500 between them. What
promises to be another valuable loca-
ton is the field which has just been
opened by the GREAT WESTERN
PETROLEUM COMPANY, which
lies between the Gushing and Glenn
Pools, and is said to be an extern
sion of these productive areas. Wells
are now being drilled, and it is ex
pected that oil will be produced In
a tremendous quantity within the
next few days.
The story of Oklahoma oil reads
like a romance, and much interest
ing literature regarding it, and the
latest news regarding the new oil
fields can be obtained freeon request

OkIahomans to Celebrate Opening OF
Cherokee Strip With Picnic.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. 25.-lh
Alfalfa county, not far from Chero'
kee. is a large area of waste lands
known as the salt plains 1t USED 10
be a salt lake. The water is gone ana
the salt has served to make the land
useless for farming purposes. All the
surrounding country is of the best land
in the southwest. Alfalfa county Is
one of the best counties in the state
of Oklahoma. 1t is in what was the
| Cherokee Strip. The Cherokee strip
was opened to settlement twenty-one
wears ago. The exact anniversary OF
the run will be Sept. 16.
People of Cherokee county are plan
ming to repeat the run, and the salt
waste has been chosen for the ride.
There will be celebration and pic
mic and orations. But the run will be
as nearly like the original run into
the reservation for homes as may be.
| Arrangements are being made to du-
plicate the vehicles that were used in
the run twenty-one years ago. There
will be runners on foot and horseback
as well as prairie schooners. Prizes
are offered by local committees on ar
rangements. The Santa Fe railway
has arranged to run frequent trains
between salt plains and Cherokee, on
" few miles away, and the number
of people who will see the repetition
of the race for homes is expected to
be large.

Getting in readiness for the State
Fair at Dallas, which opens Saturday,
October II and closes November l is
not only progressing in fine shape, but
all heads of departments, including di-
rectors and secretary, are working
over time in rounding up everything
in fine shape for the opening OF the
best of all fairs and eXpositions ever
held in Texas.
Mr.. r. A. Ferris, as director of the
agricultural exhibits, declares that fine
progress is being made as to entries
in that department. When considered
that space for increased exhibits has
been provided for this year, with in
creased premiums aggregating fully
$4,000, as well as an increase in alb
solutely new attractions and amuse-
ments of the highest standard, every
one of our readers can rest assured
that the State Fair for 1914 is going
to be some fair.
In the individual exhibits of farm
products, some very attractive disI
plays may be looked for as the premi-
ums are made quite generous for
these individual exhibits of corn, cot
ton, small grains and any other farm
products from one farm in Texas,
crop of 1914, besides a special premi-
um by the Texas Land and Mortgage
Co., Ltd, of Dallas has been added to
the premiums as offered by the Texas
State Fair.
Inasmuch as the Board of Directors
adopted as their slogan this year "a
Different Fair" every person going to
Dallas for the purpose of taking in
the big" show will not be disappoint
ed, and will see so many interesting
sights" that they will wonder and
marvel at the signs of progress and
prosperity being made throughout this
great commonwealth.
