WEEEYs CORNER

Harrisburg hitters yesterday. The
team looks like a fast bunch once
they get going. The weather Yester-
day was rather chilly for ball play
ing. Manager Cockill is also in need
of pitchers. Eddie Keefe, a Connie
Mack find, was landed yesterday and
will report to the local manager to-
day.
The owners of the Utica Club of
the New York State League have an
nounced that any person wearing a
uniform and in United States service
will be admitted to all games free
during the present season.
Should draft be made on the
Harrisburg team twelve. players will

the call comes. Manager Cockill is
of the opinion that there will be no
drafting of ballplayers until later
in the year.

four of the crew. While they were at

The boats were patched and kept

TULSA FAVORED DURING 1917

' done by Tulsa in the past year than
that which Is presented by Secretary
! Douglas of the Chamber of Commerce.
In this It is shown that Tulsa has
given and subscribed to patriotic prof.
ects, the total of more than $1,000
00O in the past year. at least half of
this being Tulsa's share in the pur-
chase OF Liberty bonds. Other items
! included are the several bond issues
which have been voted the endow-
ment of Henry Kendall college, the
| contributions 10 the Red Cross fund
| the Y. NJ. G.. A. fund and to soldiers
who have gone out from this city
| to represent Tulsa in every military
camp Of the country and to the fight
| ing line in Europe.
Civic Clubs ,Icip City.
| Numerous civic clubs have been or
| gani2cd in the past 12 months. each
has met with immediate success and
has accomplished the great things for
which II was organized.
All are regarded as having a certain
part to play in the development of
/ Tulsa and the coming year predicts
/ for each of them a greater work. in
| this list may be included the Chamber
of Commerce, the Rotary club, the
Lions club. the City club, the Ad club,
the Builders association and the Tulsa
| Clearing House association.
| During the past year, Tulsa has ac-
complished much in the way of Judi
Nious publicity thruout the country
and this has resulted in material
increase in population and in bring
| ing to the attention of the investor
and OF the home builder this city as a
place In which to make investments
and in which to make a home.
| and professional concern in the city
has enjoyed greater prosperity in the
past year than during any previous
| year in the history of Tulsa and from
| every angle this is looked upon as
but the forerunner of what is to be
accomplished in the coming year.
A review of Tulsa in the past year
would be incomplete if no mention
were made of annexng to Tulsa an
area almost as large as one-fourth
the area of the city in 1915. This has
not been accomplished without the
added burden on every municipal ne
| cessity, such as waterwork3 extension,
| sewer mains and electric lights. to say
nothing of additional sidewalks and
paving.
The year 1917 will go. down in the
history of Tulsa as one of the great
est paving years In the history of
the city up to this date, and in tho
office Of the city engineer arrange
ments are being made for even n
greater program of this class of work.
Therefore, while Tulsa may LOOK
upon the year 1917 as a wonderful pc
riOd in the development of city, there
| Is the assurance from every quarter
that the coming year will be even
greater, and to this end every effort
is being made to prepare for greater
year and all departments are arrang-
ing to care for this great growth in
1918.

Tulsa could have expected no more
than has been poured into the lap OF
| this city from the horn Of plenty by
the year 1917.
From every angle of activity with
in this city during the year which is
closing, there has been a marked in
crease over the twelve months OF 1st6 8
and In no branch of this activity has
a decrease been registered.
Building permits have averaged for
the past year more than 100000 a
month.
I'll the total for 1917 is more than
$34O, 100000.
Water consumption has shown a
marked increase over last year. which
Is an indication OF great growth in
population.
School attendance during the past
year with its increase over 1916, in
dicates gain in population greater
than the entire population of Tulsa
six years ago.
The vital statistics from the office
of the city superintendent OF health
show an Improvement in health con-
ditions and from every other source
Of information there Is secured data
which marks 1917 as the greatest
year in the history of the city.
New Municipal Works.
In reviewing the work done in Tulsa
during the year just closing, those ac-
tivities come first which center about
municipal construction.
The year has seen completed the
waterworks filtration plant, which
will be placed in operation within the
next week, and which will have a ca
pactiy for filtration and Qualification
OF more than five million gallons of
water a day
The new incineration plant, at a
cost of approximately $4,000. has
been completed, and in this connec-
ton the city has turned from the old
lease method of garbage collection 10
the municipal style and upon this
plan the work is now being carried
on.
No greater step forward has been
made by the city than that which has
resulted in the erection of a new mu-
nicipal building at the corner of Gin
clnnati and Fourth, in which will he
housed all of the city offices. the
headquarters for the Chamber OF
Commerce and other allied interests.
The building when completed will cost
in excess of $125,000.
Two new fire stations have been
erected by the city, one to be known
as the South Side fire station, and the
other to be known as Number -Four.
These buildings are modern in every
detail and will add materially to the
development of the department In
this connection a reference should be
made to :he development of the
fire-fighting force under Chief Adler
and the construction by his men ,of
equipment at IA saving to the city of
more than $4,000. This work in
cludes several automobile fire-fight-
ing machines with all equipment such
as ladders and hose racks.

rine was sighted. The whole stern
was blown off and the ship went under
in less than one minute. There was
no time to launch even a single boat.
All hands on deck were swept away
by the sea, which fairly swallowed
the steamer at a gulp, Two blue
jackets on watch aft were blown
overheard with their gun. One or
them was found floating dead with a
broken back by the destroyer which
came in the nick OF time to rescue the
survivors from the sea. Another gun
ner was a few feet away from the di-
rect line of the explosion but was
thrown from the bridge to the main
deck and carried overheard by the
rush of water.
There were three men at the for
ward gun when the ship was hit.
They stayed theer and waited for or
Gers from the chief gunners. This
was their duty. Therefore they
stayed. In the simple words of the
official report:
"All stood by the gun until their
officers left the bridge and went af-
ter life preservers. There was no time
to put them on. All the men acted
worthy of their calling and each did
what he could TO help where that was
possible"

TULSA has accomplished
Il great things in the year
which is closing. OF this, we as
loyal Tulsans, are proud. Now
we turn with greater confidence
to the new year of 1918. 1t
holds greater things in store and
with the assurance, and confl-
dence secured In making 1917
great period for Tulsa. we VIII
enter on the new year with
feeling that all of the great
things we undertake Will be
successful.
r. NJ. McFarlln President
Tulsa Chamber of Commerce.
Tulsa has taken a place in
municipal and industrial devel-
opment in the past year that
could only be gained by the
comb bined efforts of loyal Tul-
sans. Tulsa's growth has been
the result of undivided coop
eratiVe efforts on the part OF
her citizens. This same spirit
will give TO Tulsa in the new
year even a greater place, and
1918. I feel sure, will be even
a greater year over the passing
year than 1917 has been over
those which have gone before.
