quently advise prospective investors
of capital of the short life of gas

sa, forgetting the real coal resouces.
The headquarters of the various coal
mining companies operating in con-
tiguous territories are in Tulsa. Coal
extends from the extreme northern
boundary to the extreme southern
boundary Of the county, at depths
of ten feet in the north and 50 feet
in the south. This is known as the
first vein and is the only one being
worked at present. The thickness Of
the vein at Collinsyille is q inches,
at Dawson 80 inches, and at Scales
80 inches. Oil men have reported
a vein FIVE feet thick at a depth Of
240 feet, but this has never been
worked, The supply is practically
unlimited and has scarcely been de
veloped at this time
Reflections.
Tulsa is the melting pot of the
universe. Out of the crucible Of ex-
perience comes the refinery product
which makes it different from any
other city Of the world. The vast in
dustrial achievements and the sue
cessful conduct of various enter
prises requiring initiative and abil-
ity, are now being correlated
through the various war channels
and necessary industries and nisti-
tutions to win the war in the short
est possible time.
The genius which alsot breathed
the breath of life into the canvas, or
immortalized itself through some in
spired poem; or perpetuatcd itself
through some gifted sculptor, or
wrought some great architectural
triumph, is not dead, but today finds
its expression through other chan
nels such as the organization OF vast
armies, nayies, war industries Of
various kinds, railroad systems, great
Liberty loans, building vast air fleets

Authenticity of Name
1t may be of interest in this con-
nection to have authentic informa-
tion concerning the origin and
meaning of the word "Oklahoma." J.
s. Marrow, missionary among the
Indians for 81 years, gave the writer
the following story: at is a very
common Choctaw word. X = = 1t is
a compound, Okla (people) ard
homa (red) and simply means Red
People-Indians. Freely, translated,
the land of the Red People, or as it
was intended, Indian Territory. Rev
crend and Governor Allen Wright
gave the name to the Territory at
the Treaty with the Choctaws at
Washington City in 1866. He in
tended it to be as nearly a transla-
ton into Choctaw Of "Indian Terri

Topography.
Tulsa is situated on the northern
and eastern bank of the Arkansas
River On the north and west it is
skirtcd by range Of hills. The hills
on the west are divided by the Ar
kansas River. On the south is found
the fertile valley Of this river and
on the east the great broad prairics
Of Tulsa County. Two small streams
pass through the city from north to
south which give most excellent nat
ural drainage, and when one takes
into consideration the numerous
small hills throughout the city, there
is not a more perfectly drained area
Of inhabited land anywhere.
Character of Soil
The soil within the city and over
a large portion of contiguous terri
tory consists Of a chocolate colored

one of the sensational plays of the
game when he threw out Bell at first

the biggest events of a commence

ed. Much interest attaches especially
TO the appearance of "Skeeter" Shell
ton the Varsity coach in the lineup
az the Alumni.
For the day Capt. Ira E. Rogers will
steer the Varsity and Shelton will
devote his efforts to trying to down
his proteges. It goes without saying
that no man in the Alumni lineup will
work harder for that end than the OLD
Gold and Blue coach. Shelton played
at the University only two seasons,
these being 1908 and 1909. These years
however. marked pair of the greatest
seasons on the diamond West Virgin
Ia has ever experienced. In 1908 the
Mountaineers won "a games and lost
but and in 1909, 10 games were won
and but seven were lost, making a
grand record for the two years of 40
games won and IL lost.
In 1910 Shelton went into profess
sional baseball and his successful
years as center fielder and field cap
tain OF the Columbus team in the Amer
lean Association is well known. When
at the University Shelton played Sec

so here on Wednesday. Every day dur

AS Tate is almost the same size as
Willard, so is Hemple almost q coun-
terpart of Dempsey in size. Dempsey
and Hemple both weigh 1876. Both
stand slightly over six feet. Both are
maulers. Hemple doesn't claim the
mauling powers of Dempsey else he
would be a challenger today and not a
sparring partner.
Nevertheless, he is a good tough
boy, can hit hard and can step through
rough session with the champion
whenever he is called upon to do so.
He is fast, not as fast as Dempsey, but
still very fast He can hit, not as
hard as Dempsey, but still very hard.
He carries the fight to his opponent
in Dempsey style.
Sometimes Jess allows him to hit
him at will just to see how it feels
