THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Gov. Stanley's Figures on the Cost of the Stubbs "Reform" are an Eye Opener to the Taxpayers! OKLAHOMA, THE LAND OF PROSPERITY A Personal Survey of Some of the Business Enterprises and Men Who are Making the New State One of the Garden Spots of the Union. By Adolph Griffin, Manager Kansas City Branch Diversity of agricultural production is the big, broad reason behind Oklahoma City. Oklahoma in area owns the rank of fourteenth, 70,057 square miles Estimated population, January 1st, 1910, 1,750,000. The entire state comprises the home market for its metropolis--Oklahoma City. The remarkable fact is that this state-wide trade territory "oashes in" on a crop of some kind every month in the year. Oklahoma City is the great central supply house for the enormous and growing demand of the Oklahoma distributing field. For the past five years, the jobber-always the pioneer of industrialism-has been engaged in the important work of developing the Trade Territory, and has proven up here in Oklahoma a new field for factorier. Hence the dawn of the manufacturing era...to reinforce the already substantial jobbing interests. The Oklahoma City of 1910 is a metropolis that commands the most unusual market situation of the present day in this country. The growth, progress and thrift of all great cities can be traced to street railways. Oklahoma City is certainly blessed along this line. The Oklahoma Railway company owns and operates one of the finest and best equipped street car systems to be found any whore. It has 70 miles of track, 75 cars and 10 new steel cars coming, for the equipment of fast suburban lines. They have invested thousands of dollars and are spending more daily to add to the comforts of their already splendidly equipped system. The people of the new state should not in any way put a block in the path of such a laudible enterprise by refusing them franchises when they want to expand. The company is officered by a corps of thorough business men; every one a gentleman and business builder. They are awake to the interests of Oklahoma City and no set of men in the city has contributed more to bring about the present prosperity of the city. The officers are, Anton H. Classon, president; John W. Sharther, vice-president; H. Martin, chairman excursion and publicity committee; J. J. Johnson, secretary. THE OKLAHOMA GAS AND ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY. is one of those enterprises that make any city grow and prosper, and unless they are given proper encouragement in the way of franchises, etc., it will hinder them and work a hardship on the people. They are giving the people the best and most accurate service that can be obtained, and spare neither time nor money in doing so. Mr. F. H. Tidman, general man. VOLUME XII. ager of the company, is a thorough business man, and devotes every minute of his time looking after and improving the concern. He is a man of sterling qualities, easy to approach, and is always alert to that which will quicken the growth of the city and bring prosperity to all. Mr. F. A. Whitten, treasurer of the company, is one of the most careful, painstaking and conservative business men we ever met. His fine bearing and courteous manner of meeting people is one of the secrets of his career of success. He is a promoter that will attain success in any line and we hope the people of Oklahoma City will be ever ready to hold up the hands of Mr. Whitten and his company. is among the really prosperous concerns of the new state. Mr. Marion S. Cooter, treasurer of the company, is an old Kansas, wideawake and a business man of no small ability. He is well known and popular throughout the state, and it can be truthfully said that the large and increasing trade enjoyed by the company is due to his keen tact and splendid business ability. The manager of this paper spent half an hour at the mill in Oklahoma City where they make the celebrated Acme Flour. This mill spent $25,000 for new machinery last year and now makes the best flour in the Southwest. Seventeen years they have made flour for Oklahoma people and it gets better every day. The writer had biscuits made from the flour for breakfast and they were simply all right. is rolling in prosperity Her people are happy and well supplied with the necessaries of life. THE EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANK is a strong, healthy institution and enjoys a splendid business. Mr. P. J. White, president of the concern, is one of those wide awake, jovial, enterprising fellows. Equipped with a magnificent education and a sunny disposition, he has won a warm spot in the hearts of all who know him. THE UNION TRUST COMPANY has been siding most materially in bringing about the present prosperity of the city and county. It is a credit to Oklahoma, and the people certainly appreciate it, as may be seen by the large and increasing business carried on by them. Mr. Leonard, cashier of the concern, is a pleasing gentleman, educated, cultured and refined. He hails from Iowa, and his broad smile and courteous welcome for rich and poor, white and black, have enclosed him in the hearts of all who know him. In speaking of his leaving his home city in Iowa, his home paper in Oedar Falls says: Cedar Falls loses a most excellent citizen in the departure of Oliver II. Leonard for his now field of labor at Tulsa, Okla. During the ten years that he has resided in Cedar Falls he has taken an active TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 6, 1910. THE ACME MILLS. TULSA part in the business, social and religious life of the city. He has been interested in several commercial enterprises and has shown an aptness for method and a versatility for action that gave him much prestige in business affairs." THE RLA AND RLA VILLA AND ELEVEN VALO is certainly a concern of which any state might well feel proud. It has added material in placing the city of Tulsa on the map as one of the real live, progressive manufacturing towns. Their high grade, soft flour is giving satisfaction not only at home but abroad. Mr. O. J. Sawyer, secretary, treasurer and manager of the concern, is one of those keen, sharp, far-sighted business men, and through his knowledge the company has withstood all panic and is now located on a foundation stronger than the Rook of Gibralter. MUSKOGKE. Muskogee is a thrifty city with 85,000 progressive boosters. In fact, Muskogee is Oklahoma's jobbing gateway, with four railroads and three rivers. She is progressive and prosperous and the gateway to her success can doubtless be traced to the thrift, energy and enterprise of the Muskogee Electric Traction company. The company have an abiding faith in the future of Muskogee and her people, and spare neither time nor money to give them the best to be found in the way of street railways. They have constructed 14 miles of good, substantial track equipped with 24 modern cars, in which they have invested $460,000 and are only waiting to invest $200,000 more as soon as the city council will permit. Mr. B. D. Long, general manager, is a city builder, and the council should not kinder his company by refusing to grant them desired franchises. Street railways have been the making of all important cities, and a town that hinders them in the way of refusing franchises is simply driving nails in its own coffin. Give them a right of way and the town will grow and prosper. Manager Long has the interest of Muskogee at heart. He wants to see her grow and prosper. Personally he is open, frank, easy to approach and stitty business. Any propeelition that has a tendenoy for good has a strong supporter in him. If Muskogee will act wisely, treat Mr. Long and his company as they deserve, he and his company will do for the town what Bernard Corrigan and the Metropolitan Street Railway company have done for Kansas City. As boomer, booster and enterprising man, Mr. Long ranks in the class with Corrigan and others whose business ability has bullded great cities. THE MUSKOOGE GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY is by no means a luxury but a necessity, and can be numbered among the concerns that are substantially aiding in making Muskogee a great city. They have invested thousands of dollars and are spending more daily for the convenience and happiness of the people. The people should be exceptionally kind to concerns of this kind and be liberal and good in the way of granting them franchises. Mr. H. C. Howard, vice-president and general manager of the ```markdown ``` HON. J. W. McNEAL, of Guthrie, One of the Most Substantial and Influential Citizens in Oklahoma, Who is Seeking the Republican Nomination for Governor. He says, "I am asking your support for the nomination of Governor on the platform of MORE BUSINESS AND LESS POLITICS." He is a brother of Hon. T. A. M'Neal, of Topeka, and every inch a gentleman. company, is undoubtedly the right man in the right place. He is one of those far-sighted fellows who can easily see a good proposition twenty years ahead. He stands for a greater Muskogee, and if given half a chance he and his company will spare neither time nor money to push the proposition to success. is the largest concern in Oklahoma with large houses at McAlester, Colgate, Durant and Muskogee. These houses are the supply stations for the whole state and a portion of Texas The Hale-Halsell Grocery company is one of the concerns that is making Oklahoma, and the people should grant them any privilege they may seek. The company has the interest of Oklahoma at heart and will contribute their dollars to make the state grow and prosper. THE TURWER HARDWARE CO is the largest in the state. They conduct a general jobbing business and supply the lesser stores throughout the state. This concern is one of the live wires, they are builders and boosters and are always ready to dig down into their pockets and contribute to anything that has the advancement of Muskogee at heart. Mr. C. W. Turner, president of the company is the highest type of a gentleman and is always seeking that which will promote business and bring prosperity and happiness to all the people. He is admired by rich and poor, and his advice on business matters is always in demand. OKMULGEE. This is a growing city and everybody is chock full of business. Among the good, who awake enterprising citizens we had the pleasure of meeting J. W. Sharp, candidate for the Republican nomination for sheriff of Okmulgee county. We have never met a more gentlemanly, straightforward honorable man, and if the people do their duty they will nominate and elect him to this responsible position. He is well and NUMBER 18 hrie, One of the Most Substantial Oklahoma, Who is Seeking the or Governor. He says, "I am the nomination of Governor on the S AND LESS POLITICS." He is a M'Neal, of Topeka, and every ... favorably known throughout the county and his honor and integrity are above reproach. Elect Mr. Sharp and not even those who oppose him politically will have cause to regret. Hon. J. L. Peacock, the efficient register of deeds, is asking the Republican voters of Okmulgeo county for a second term. As a recommendation for the place he is submitting his excellent record to the voters. He is a native of New York, educated, courtcous, polite, and an allround good fellow. Mr. Peacock has treated all alike in performing the duties of the office and by so doing has added to his list of friends. Elect him. CLAREMORE is a town that is destined to be a great city. The people are bright, intelligent and progressive. H. Jennings, the pleasing, pleasant and efficient postmaster, is a gentleman in all that the term impples. He is familiar with the face of almost every patron and treats all alike. He is courteous and polite and has a smile that makes even a stranger feel that he has known him for years. No matter what party is in power Uncle Sam would do well to keep Mr. Jennings in charge of his affairs at Claremore. Oklahoma is blessed with any banking institutions and has an excellent guarantee deposit law which might as well have been kept off of the statutes so far as the "Bnk of Claremore" is concerned. It has won the confidence of all the people and is as good as the U. S. treasury. Mr. G. D. Davis, cashier of the institution, is a thorough banker and through his keen insight, pleasant manner and excellent business qualifications the institution has woven itself solidly into the confidence of all the people.

We find from a four weeks trip through Oklahoma that the new state is a hummer, all that is needed is more officials who will honestly enforce the laws without fear, favor or money. From what we saw and heard the property owners are taxed too high. The greatest problem before the voters of that state at this time is to forestall the removal of the capital and the approval of $600,000, appropriated by the legislature to locate the capital, Guthrie, Oklahoma City and Shawnee have protested against this proposition and ask the voters to vote down the enabling act providing for the location at Guthrie until 1913. Why spend the taxpayers' money for that which will bring on expensive lawsuits of long duration? At Guthrie suitable quarters have been provided for the state officers which can be used for the next ten years without further cost Why let the grafters use $600,000 for large salaries and expenses Vote no. Oklahoma needs no new capital site at present. Wait for a few good crops before burdening the people. NOWATA Our first stop was at Nowata, a thriving city surrounded by oil fields. Several colored families own oil fields of considerable value, a so thousands of acres of fertile farming land. They are not making or taking advantage of their opportunities but are easily contented. Should they invest their income in some enterprise which would help the race, their children in future years would reap the benefits. A few men of the race are in business, one of whom we will mention in our next issue, as well as some of those who own oil wells The white and colored people are making good progress, especially those who are working. CLAREMORE. the great health resort of the Southwest, whose waters are health to the nation. Colored people are doing fine. We will mention some who are doing something and own property in next issue. VINITA contains a number of our people who own good property and are talking gold mines. The whites seem to be of the progressive class. TULSA is a magic city, going in leaps and bounds. Large buildings are being erected, everybody is busy. Some good buildings are the property of colored people and some of our race are in business of different kinds. We found too many small shacks, dirty yards, tin cans and rags in the windows in one part of the town said to be inhabited by Toxins. This should be looked after. PART is a Negro town surrounded by a fine agricultural country, but the colored farmers are not doing much. There are a few merchants doing fair business. Here is located the state institution for the deal, dumb, blind and orphans. In next issue we shall give full particulars of this great This town could be made great if the colored men would wake up from their Rip Van Winkle sleep. MU KOGEB Is wacre you find the wide awake colored men, several large, brick buildings from two to five stories high, clothing store, dry goods and shoe stores, drug stores, groceries and restaurants galore. The town is growing so fast that it could not be stopped with a army of soldiers firing guns every minute. The greatest proposition offered colored people with little money is lots by the North Muskogee Townsite Co., at $100 per lot, $10 down and 85 per month; no interest nor taxes. The People's Bank and Trust Co. is doing fine, having on deposit $100,000. It was great to look upon so much money handled by colored people. Bank crowded all the time. Here you find a good class of white men in business who want to be fair to all We heartily recommend to the public the lots for sale by the North Muskogee Townsite Co., located at Rooms nine and ten, McKibben Bldg. We have seen the lots and must say they are in a beautiful location, and besides, terms are reasonable. Lots sold at $100, paying $10 down and $5 per month with no taxes or interest. This is a good proposition for one who is starting out in life to secure property. The following are the names of the officers, who are prosperous, and holding up the business end of Muskogee: T. H. Martin, ex mayor of Muskogee for three terms, also president of National Trust Co., W. L. Karr, president Bank of Commerce of Tonkawa, Okla.. J. L. Jarroleman, real estate and insurance; T. B. Stewart, real estate investments. WAGGONER Here you find a few colored people in business, mostly restaurants. Several land owners surround the town. SOUTH M'ALESTER Here is located the penitentiary. Will give particulars next week. A number of colored people own good property and are well-fixed, but are rather slow. B Y A T O N This is a good town, growing rapidly. The colored men who live in this town are wide awake; they never sleep. They are successful in business and own good farms and homes. OKMUIGEE Here is a town that has gotten up in G, in the past few years, moving so fast that no one seems to worry; all happy and sorene. Colored people are making good; all seem to have the hurrying fever. BOLEY. the exclusive colored city, was our next stop. Here you find everybody up and doing. Telephones, bank, general mercantile stores, lumber yard, cotton gins, sawmills. Everything in a bustlo. It is a great agricultural country, with colored farms for miles around. Will detail a few of the progressives later. GUTHRIE The capital is an ideal spot Here you find the most cultured psira-taking people of the state. There is no other place like it. Just the spot for a capital, all quiet, where people can study each other's interest without worry or worry. Colored people are not doing as well as in years gone by, but there is a better class in every way. Has good schools, teachers and libraries, Some business. Lots of good property, good homes and churches. LANOSTON This town is composed of colored people. One of the greatest schools in the West is located here. Langston is second to none. Prof. Inman E. Page and his devoted wife have made it the household word of Ok. lahoma. The town has not grown any; stays at one stage. Our last stop was at the metropolis of the state. OKLAHOMA C.I.V. the wonder of the twentieth century. She is growing as fast as the Empire Express travels through New York. People stand and wonder at its marvelous growth. Forty or more large business buildings are under construction within ten blocks of each other. The colored people are keeping pace with the times and are building two story bricks and frames at a rapid rate. They are shaking DEPOSITS GUARANTEED by the Depositors Guranty Fund of the State of Oklahomp. P. J. WHITE, President M. HUGHES, Cashier H. F. SINCLAIR, V-President D F CONNELLY, V-Pres. A.T.

You can't keep paged man down, is not thars said in a jot, out in the case of our highly esteemed friend, Mr. Joseph Uish. it as proven true. No man in all to point has more good, true, loyal friends than Mr. Uish. In the business world he ranks high among the boosters and spates neither trem nor money in whoops it up for Topeka. Mr. Uish believes in giving the people the best that money can secure and the laundry recently opened by him and Mr. George W. Veale, Jr., at 218 West Sixth avenue, is the best to be had. It is a real metropolitan affair, with auto delivery wagons and all the equipment known to the modern laundry. The help was carefully selected from the most skilled laundry workers in the middle west, and the fact that they pay more than the scale is a guarantee that they have the best to be obtained. One can truthfully say that the U-V is the most modern equipped laundry in this section and Kansas City or Chicago has no better. Topeka heartily welcomes such enterprising business men; and the public will show their appreciation by liberally patronizing them THE PLAINDEALER congratulates Messrs. Ulsh and Veale and wishes them a bountious trade and a happy, prosperous future both in their business and private affairs. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. I wish to call the attention of all the cooks and porters on the various railways to the great need of an organization among us by which to protect each other. There should be a grand organization among us as there is among other men, by which we could help each other when sick or too old to follow our regular vocations. One dollar a month would be sufficient to pay eight or ten dollars a week to those who might be in need of assistance, and this dollar is made by every porter and cock every month in the form of tips, and practically thrown away. Let us get together on a proposition of this kind while we can. I know that some will say they have been beaten out of money, and all that, but we could require good bonds from those who handle the money and thus make ourselves secure. All who wish to help do something along this line please write me at once and try to meet me in Topeka, Kansas, June 20, 1910. J. B. ODAIR, 604 Main St., Chanute, Kas.

It seems a little queer to a west corner to find himself in a city populated entirely by Afro-Americans, but anoh town is Taft. It has a population of about 1,500 and hads tour to eat much in the affairs of the new state The Bank of That is condu to by good, and business men, who have half years of experience in banking.
