Tulsa, Okla, August-When the
ex-Confederate soldiers, and their al
lied organizations, select a city IN
which to hold a reunion, IL they have
never met in that city before, desire
for information concerning the new
meeting place is widespread through
out the southern states. The Con-
federates last year in Washington
city selected Tulsa, Okla, as the place
for the reunion OF 1918. 1t was the
first time an Oklahoma city had been
selected as a reunion city, and the
interest already mentioned attaches
to Tulsa first, to Oklahoma second.
The first and most important con-
sideration among the very large num-
ber Of people interested in reunions,
is the matter OF ability OF reunion
city to finance the meeting. 1t is well
known that, to properly entertain a
Confederate reunion, from $4,000 to
sls0, 900 is necessary. The question
refore, in the minds of the people
the south Is, "Can Tulsa furnish

The first settler within the present
limits Of the city of Tulsa was Archie
Yahola, a fullblooded Greek Indian.
He was a man of fine physique and
possessed superior mind. He came
here from Georgia in 1886, and was
selected town chief of the Tulsa Loch-
apokas. His followers idolized him,
and when be died, in 1850, he was
buried in the southern part of the city
near the ampitheatre erected by the
clan for the practive of their religious
rites.
Tulsas growth has been very rapid
OF recent years. 1t is now modern
city with an estimated population OF
$4,000. 1t has bank deposits OF
s53,000,000, with total resources OF
$60,00O,000 The monthly bank clear

The greater part OF this wealth comes
from the oil industry, total daily ship

make note OF the fact that Tulsa is the
center OF the Mid-Continent Oil belt
from which the nation is receiving a

The community will redeem its
