city claims the proud and undis-
puted title of the oil metropolis
of the world.
Rapid Growth.
From an insignificant, strag-
Cling village in 1900, it has
grown into one of the most cos
mopolitan cities in the west and
where a few years ago the jack
rabbit was disturbed only by the
long horned steer and the booted
and spurred cowboy, ten-story
buildings, paved streets, beauti-
full parks, stately homes and a
wealthy and cultivated popula-
ton hold sway.
When you ask man ON the
street the question, " Why is
Tulsa?" he answers, "Oil. -
When you point to tcn-story
office building, a crowded street
ear or congcSted traffic in the
business district and ask the
cause the answer comes, 4" II s
oil. " When you marvel at a per
capita wealth of $1,000 on de
post in the local banks, and at
an annual increase i'll percentage
of building permits and bank
clcarings greater than that of
any city in the United States
and seek your reason you will
find it in the magic word Of
coil. -"
The telephone directory of this
city gives the number of 43l oil
companies, 81 oil field supply
companies, II petroleum com
panies' 8 torpedo companies, ~
refining companies, 8 tank man
ufacturing companies and 6 pipe
line companies.

acres was soon producing l25, 600
barrels n day and this was the
real beginning of Tulsa S pros
pcrity. Following the Glenn pool
came Gushing, and, with wells
making from two thousand to
five thousand barrels a day. de
velopmcnt followed and business
leaped until even the most pcssl-
mistic were bcwildcrcd by the
changes which followed. Then
came the Ilcaldton pool, and in
the meantime production in the
Usage country, in the Boynton
field, at iIcnryctta, Okmu!gce,
Sapulpa, Shamrock. Bald Hill
and Cleveland added to the total
and an era of prosperity unpar-
allclcd in the history of the
southwest followed.
A Solid Business.
That there is am element Of
luck and chance IN the oil buSi-
ness goes without saying, but
that it is, after all, a business re-
quiring scientific methods, cx-
pert knowledge of detail and
capable management every one
knows who has been in touch
with the development work in
the Mid-COntincnt field, and that
it is not a reckless gamble, as
was the gold fields and silver
mines is demonstrated by the
fact that the business is recOg-
nized by the most conservative
bankers in the west as stable and
legitimate and by the further
fact that the reserve banks of
the nation have recently an
nounced that oil in storage was
as good collateral as other sta
pies in bonded warehouse.
Many men there are who have
become milliOnaires following
the fascinating trail of oil, and
fortunate indeed has it been for
Tulsa that practically all of them
made of this city their hcadquar-
ters, carry on their enormous
business from here and have here
built the most magnificent homes
i'll the state of Oklahoma.
Tulsa is the home of the fol-
lowing miIlionaircs : j. s. Cos
den of the Cosdcn companies,
Charles Page, the millionaire
philanthropist; Harry f. and
Earl w. Sinclair, r.. M. McFar-
lin of the Mc-Man Oil company,
j. II. Markham, ir, J. +. Cros
bic, John o. Mitchell, Grant
Stebbins, G. y. Bradcn and f. A..
Gillespie. And in addition to the
above there are many others here
who, as a result Of their opera
tons in oil, can count their
wealth by the hundreds of thou
sands.
Actual Figures.
II is because of the fact that
Tulsa is the oil capital that the
present building program fl
nanced and provided for in the
city limits, is close to $1,000
coo, and it is because of oil and
its allied industries that here the
freight tonnage is greatest and
volume of business generally
heaviest of any city of less than
100000 population on the CONT
nent. IL is now more than ten
years since the Glenn pool came
in, and constantly, year by year,
the development has grown
greater and the producing bust
ness put on more solid and sub
stantial basis.
In the opinion of expert gcolo-
gists, the production in Okla
homa is but in its infancy, and
conservative men who have fol
lowed the game for a generation
confidently predict for this city
a population of 100000 within
the next five years.
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1916-08-10

In 1900 the population Of
Tulsa, Okla, was 1890. In 1916,
from the best authority obtain
able, the population of Tulsa is
quoted at 54,270.
In 1900 the money on deposit
in Tulsa was $4,000. Under the
call of the comptroller on June
80, 1916, the money on deposit
was $3O,170,7S7. In 1900 the
capital, surplus and undivided
profits of the banks of Tulsa
was $4,000. June 80 1916, the
capital, surplus and undivided
profits were over $2,000,O0O.
In 1900 the cash postoffice re
ceipts of Tulsa were $2,954. In
1915 the cash postoffice receipts
were 1888, ,24S, and the first
quarter of 1916 showed an in
crease of 19 per cent over the
same quarter of 1915.
In 1900 the production of oil
in the trade territory of Tulsa
was 6,472 barrels. In 1915 the
Oklahoma oil fields, of which
Tulsa is the nerve center, pro
duced 117,910,444 barrels, the
Cushing fields alone producing
7O7O4. .S54 barrels of the total.

Manufacturers.

The manufacturers in the
Tulsa district exclusive of hand
trades, building trades and
neighborhood industries are no,
with employees numbering 1861
the annual payroll being 1854,
100 with a total capital employed
of 1887, 300, the output of the
manufactures being $17, ,S75, 900,
and of this a very large percent
age is i'm oil and allied industries.
The employees other than those
enumerated above in April 1916,
were 1884, and of these more
than 80 per cent are in oil and
allied industries.
The number of automobiles in
Tulsa in April, 1916, was 1920,
a larger percentage of machine
owners according to population
than probably any other city in
the world, and for this substan-
tial evidence of prosperity the
reason is coil. "
In 1904 the famous Glenn pool
came in, and from ten thousand

Greatest of All.

The Black Hills of the Dakotas
had their DeadwOod, the gold
fields of Alaska have their Skag-
way and Dawson City, Montana
has its Butte and Helena, Ne
vada has its Virginia City and
Carson, California its FL Dorado
and Sacramento, Colorado its
Leadville and Cripple Creek and
Oklahoma has its Tulsa. And
the greatest of all of these is
Tulsa.
The wealth of the gold fields
of Alaska does not equal the
wealth of the oil fields of okla
homa. The riches of the silver
mines of Colorado pale into in
significance when compared with
the output of the Mid-Continent
oil fields. California in her
palmiest day never produced the
wealth in gold now being pro
duced from the oil reservoirs Of
this state, and 'the rush to Dead
wood compared to that where
oil is found is as a push-cart to
an automobile.

CAUSED BY thin BLOOD

Many people think they have kidney
trouble because they have backache but
more backache is caused by overstrained
and undernourishcd muscles than by
anything else. In such cases the blood
needs building up.
Many rheumatic people suffer pains
that could be avoided by building up the
blood. When rheumatism is associated
with thin blood the rheumatism cannot
be cured to stay cured until the blood is
built up.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills build up the
blood and sufferers from backaChe would
do well to try this treatment before giving
way to worry over a fanced organic dis
ease. Rest and the tonic treatment with
DR.. Williams Pink Pillswill correct most
forms of backache, even rheumatic.
For people who work too hard or dance
too much and sleep too little, better habits
and course of treatment with DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills are all that is needed
TO drive away the pains and aches that
are warnings OF coming breakdown.
Two books, Building Up the Blood''
and Nervous Disorders" will be sent

Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady.

by that time. The draw span Of the
bridge will be completed in two weeks
if the material which they are waiting
for arrives.
Steel work for the viaduct on the
Keokuk side has been erected, and all
that remains to complete it Is to lay
the floor on the Orders. The steel
work is in the form Of long span, an
chored to the concrete abutment just
below First street, and the supports
for the span anchored on concrete
foundations at Water street.
The land across the viaduct has
been cleared and when the approach
is completed, Keokuk will have high
bridge. The heavy grade on Main
street hill will also be avoided by the
new approach.
There is still considerable work to
be done on the bridge spans, two
spans the other side Of the draw span
remaining to be cleared of the old

Lydia Gilmore" the famous emotion
al drama by Henry Arthur Jones. IN
this Paramount picture. which is to -
the attraction at the Grand tomorrow
and Wednesday, next week. Miss
Frederick departs from the adventur-
ess roles which characterized her last
two performances, and plays the faith
full wife and loving mother who goes
through indispensable mental agony to
shield her husband after he has proven
Unfaithful to her.
BY careful work, Mrs. Gilmore sue
ceeds in weathering the storm on the
witness stand until confronted by the
letter of a servant which involved her
own little son. Then. in a wild burst
of emotion, which is the natural result
of nervous reaction, she makes a
clean breast of the whole story.
1t is in the portrayal Of such emo
tional characters as Mrs Gilmore that
Pauline Frederick has established her
absolute supremacy as an exponent Of
