this section. To World reporter
he said:
Recently have given the future
Of Tulsa a great deal of thought
with reference to the safety OF in
yesiments.
Came Here In 1905.
Tcame to Tulsa first about 1905,
being interested in oil in the north
ern part of Indian territory. Very
that time except few wells at Red
Fork, although it was not long be-
fore the first we'll was drilled in the
Glenn pool. which pool produced the
largest amount of oil of any pool
discovered up to that time. The
first pipeline to the we'll was a two
inch line laid from Red Fork. The
only way to get to the field was by
train to Sapulpa and then by ponies
and buckboard. one can imagine
what the ROADS were after a rain and
the vast amount of extra money. it
cost to team in supplies.
"On my first visit to Tulsa real
estate man tried to sell me the
northeast corner of Third and Main
streets, where the old Daniel build
ing now stands for $4,000. In max
ing inquiry about Tulsa we were told
by a number of men not to buy at
that high price. Tulsa, was over
done, everything was too high, there
was nothing here to maze a town.
and the real estate men had gone
wild asking such prices. For years l
have heard people say that Tulsa
was overdone. Many OF us can only
see from day to day and can't real
lie that the world is still turning
around; il city had the right kind
OF citizenship. bound together with
civic pride, interested in the city's
progress anything can be accom-
plisned. Tulsa surely has a great
future. Its citizens have made 1t
truly a wonder city. but the end Is
not yet.

With the hard-surfaced roads

Odmulgee two hours. Sapulpa one
half hour, Pawhuska two hours and
bartlesville about two hours.
There are number of other
towns in this district, giving the
