OKLAHOMA! the United States, Oklahoma, was set apart for Lincoln Indiana and Nebraska; therefore in 1875 the Nebraska had rights in the Oklahoma country that white men did not have. A few of this colony pushed on into Oklahoma and not told there, most of them went out into Kansas. H. P. McCaine and his friend, Jal Hall, went to Western Kansas and started the town of Nicodemus, in Graham County. The town was away from railroads and those going to Nicodemus went over the Kansas Pacific Railroad to Illinois, Kansas, and from there overland to Nicodemus—a drive of about forty miles. Mr. McCabe afterwards was elected Auditor of the State of Kansas and served two terms after the expiration of his second term of office Oklahoma was opened to settlement and Mr. McCabe went with a Kansas crowd of settlers to Guthrie, where he became, by appointment, the first treasurer of Logan County. Mr. M. Cole drafted the first map of Logan County, a copy of which is still kept in the office of the county clerk of Logan County. About this time a company was founded in Guthrie for the purpose of establishing an exclusive N. town, and Mrs. McClane was placed in charge of the work. The town was established and given the name of Langston. Agents were sent out and paid commissions and thousands of lots were sold in an early state in the Union. A newspaper the Langston Herald, was started and was supported freely. Ten thousand copies were printed weekly and lingered continually to grow. A post office was established, investments came in, and so the farms were opened up to cultivation and capital came. For a while the town prospered but the people who owned the vacant lots in the town seemed to forget that they owned them and would not put them upon the market for sale nor even pay for a upon town as the land and most of the available lots in Langston for years lay vacant because the owners could not be rented with people come in to buy at the town prince later the state established its Agricultural and Mechanical University in N. Greene, in charge of Plantation of Museum. This institute has grown to today the enrollment is 2,000 and adopts the institution's little city, with its dinky from events and buildings. The state now embarked in its support of the institution and the people are proud of the soil and its management. THE NEW YORKER 出望 THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM JT.

Mr. Bashnell is one of the best practical railroad men in the business known to every detail that pertains to the making of a success of railroading. He is a bundle of energy, well educated and thoroughly schooled by the world of business. The advance of Oklahoma and this section of the South's land can be traced to such railroad magnates as Mr. Bashnell. Their real is the gateway to land of plenty—life and life with opportunities for the blacks who desire to compile and tour their families in a land of peace.

ROUTE, O. V. HOMA. 18. VLRNON, OKLAHOMA. The new town in Oklahoma for Negroes is destined to become a second Holley. It was named for Hlom. W. J. Vernon, the late Kansas educator and former registrar of the United States treasury. Vernon is a beautiful village, located on the 11. Smith and Western railway, and in the heart of the richest and most fertile lands in the state of Oklahoma. It is people with a hard working, industrious class of colored people, who are building the homes, schools and churches. They are earners with business activity and very trade, photography and line of business is represented among them. A day in Venus will readily convince the most skeptical that that land of plenty is the moor for colored people and that the rye's real salubrius lies in the rich fertile fields of America. Venus is growing daily and in the course of the most few months will be one of the best cities in the new state. The town is backed by some of the best business men in the country. Mr. D. M. Haynes, founder of Holley, as manager of the town site company, which is a guarantee that she will grow and prosper.

Young man, go to Oklahoma and with the liberal use of brawn, brain and muscle, in a few years be rich, independent and happy. CT, SMITH, RK The Athlithon William A. Brown Co. is one of the largest and most complete in the country. With such a splendid business man as Mr. Jack Williams, secretary and treasurer, at its head, the enterprise is bound to grow and prosper. He is one of those dignified, polished gentlemen, highly cultured and refined. Mr Williams is one of those broad guilds liberal-minded gentlemen, and in business transactions records the man with a black skin as much respect and courtesy as he does the white. He is one of the polls of It Smith and is ever ready to dig down and put his pockets and contribute to any proposition that will advance It Smith and bring about prosperity and happiness among the wage earners.

His honest, square, fair and honorable dealing has made him famous throughout the state. Mr. Lee hunts the best to be had in seed, in that he has so completely woven himself into the hearts of the people that they almost think it impossible to raise a crop if you fail to purchase seed from Mr. Lee. MUSKOGEE, OKLA Muskogee owns a great deal of her property and prosperity to the Muskogee Electric Traction Company. Mr. R. D Long, that keen, forelighted business man—the brains of the concern, has not only built a great street railway system, but has been one of the leaders in elevating Muskogee to her present high standing along the lines of commercial activity and progress. He stands well up in the ranks of the great railway magnates, like Bernard Corrigan and others. That he is a city builder is evidenced by the progress and advancement of Muskogee. He and his company spend thousands each month in modernizing and keeping up their equipment. In districts inhabited by wage earners, Mr. Long is just as eager to extend the lines to them as in districts inhabited by millionaires. The company has shown wisdom in phi- phi Mr. Long in change of affairs at Muskogee. He stands high in the esteem of every citizen of Muskogee, and when the company wants a favor in the way of a purchase, we feel that the citizens of Muskogee would not hesitate in granting it.

Negro Towns In Oklahoma. Boley is the Big Negro town of America. It is located in Boley township—eigh square miles—in which there is not a white man, woman or child. Within immediate distance of Boley are 0,000 Negroes. The town has a population of about 3,500. The city and township government is in charge of Negroes, who conduct their own affairs, political and otherwise. The town hosts a valuation of $900,000, one bank, a $40,000 high school building, two other buildings for primary and kindergarten work, good churches of all denominations, a telephone system owned and operated by Negroes, an electric lighting plant in charge of and owned by Negroes two cotton guns, boiling wiles which supplies a trade within a radius of thirty miles, a number of black business buildings, a mining factory and other industries including labs for businesses.

The land is black and waxy and grows nearly every crop grown in the state. The community has good schools and offers inducements to industrious farmers and those looking for investments. The town has cotton gins, saw mills, grist mill and the usual quota of country stores. Galeaville is located in what is known as Chaska Bottom, the deepest, richest soil in the state of Oklahoma, where the walnut, pean, oak and ash timber is found growing to perfection. This land, when cleared, is the all best farming land to be found. In the famous Chaska Bottom the trunk farmer finds the land that needs in every requirement. For more than twenty years the ation of the people of all nations of the United States has been turned to Oklahoma as a kind of great opportunity. Those who have gone into that se from during the early days of its settlement have nouly all made good. More people have made fortunes, easily and usually, in Oklahoma during the past few years than in any other state in the Union. In fact, at this time, one's opportunities to accumulate wealth is limited only by his ability to take advantage of conditions as he finds them. The man of limited means will find there avenues of investment found nowhere else. In no state does one find so many people owners of land and with so many growing investments, large and small, as are to be found in Oklahoma. The Negro in this new state is making his way with fewer obstacles than in any other section. There are fewer loafers there than any other place in America. Over ninety per cent of the Negroes in Oklahoma are actual producers and the very small percentage of illiterate are, in the main, transient people, who stop for a short period in the cities, as they go from one section of the country to another. The Negro population of Oklahoma is estimated at 60,000, or about twenty-four per cent of the 1,700,000 people who live in the entire state. The principal occupation of three people is farming. A fair estimate of the land owned by Negroes in the state would be about 1,000,000 acres. Aside from the land owned by them, fully as much more is cultivated by share croppers or renters. The opportunities to secure farm lands for purchase, rent or lease are yet good and there is always a demand for industrious farmers, who are provided with good houses and are treated well by the landlords, in cases where land is rented or leased. Purchasers are able to buy land for cash or on time—usually running five years. The people of Oklahoma are hospitable and are always pleased to welcome strangers who come amongst them and give such accommodations as their means affords. In the communities where Negroes live will be found good church buildings, representing nearly every denomination and the secret societies, and excellent schools and teachers of ability—the examinations for teachers being very rigid. In fact, the man who finds himself ramped in his present situation, in the older states, will find in Oklahoma advantages that appeal to him in many ways. Repubs have been circulated that the Negro in Oklahoma has been abused and that he has been helpless to protect himself. In defense of this statement can be said that the Negro in Oklahoma gets, at all times, the benefit of the law; the laws of Oklahoma are acknowledged to be good ones and the lawlord has no foothold upon the tenant. The tenant class get all that belongs to them all the time. The exceptions to this rule are very few. If there is any situation in which the Negro has not been able to take care of himself, it is in politics.

At any rate the Democratic party holds the offices and conducts the political affairs of the state. The party in power is responsible for a law providing that Negroes and whites shall not occupy the same railroad care, nor be seated together in public places, nor in street cars. They are responsible for a law providing that Negroes cannot vote, except under certain conditions, as set forth in what is known as the "Grandfather Clause." These laws were passed, perhaps, because the Negroes were almost a unit with the Republican party and have never seen where their interests would be, or might be, widened by a bit of political policy. Whatever the opinion may be upon this point, those laws are political strokes which seem to have the endorsement of the public generally. They have taken none of the opportunities to own land, build homes, make investments or to earn a living, in any way, from the Negro. It has, rather, had a tendency to arouse a closer race sympathy, and, as a consequence, the Republican orators have been put to other occupations, and the same usually put in discussing politics has been turned to better advantage in the fields or in an effort to accumulate property. Present indications seem to be that the "Grandfather Clause" will be defeated in the courts, in which event the Negro in Oklahoma is sure to divide his vote in the future or pay less attention to politics. Taking the ballot from him has been a profitable lesson, which in another day may improve his citizenship. Harper & Wilson THE HOME OF Fine Liquors AND St. Louis A. B. C. Beer 821 828 Gar.

For several months past colonization agents have been working among the Negro population of Oklahoma, painting in glowing colors the attractiveness of Canadian provinces in the Northwest and the fortunes to be won from their fertile soil. The fruits of these labors became apparent a week or two ago when the first party of emigrants, numbering ninety families, or about 500 Negroes in all, started on the long journey to the newly opened region of the Northwest. They sold all their property in Oklahoma, much of it at a great sacrifice, intending to homestead quarter section claims in Canada. Many other Negroes are preparing to follow their example with the propeet that, there will be a heavy exodus. According to the reports of the colonization agents, the next party will number over 1,600 families. Preparations have been completed to move this party in the spring. A treaty provision admits them to Canada if they have $5 each in cash. These emigrants, as a rule, are fairly well educated, many having been taught in the government schools for Indians in the old Indian Territory. The causes of the exodus are not hard to find. Aside from the advantages which they have been told Canada possesses, there is general discontent among the Negroes on account of adverse legislation in Oklahoma. "Jim Crow" coach and depot laws, the "grandfather clause" act which prohibits them from voting, separate school laws and other oppressive measures have filled their cup of bitterness to overflowing. The exodus has been butterly by a large per cent of the white population of the Canadian provinces, but the Canadian government has decided that there is no law against their admission, and the exodus will probably continue until the heavy Negro population of Oklahoma is largely depleted. There is something sad about this movement. It seems an anomaly that the Negro should be driven by hard circumstance to leave the genial climate of Oklahoma to build a new home in the bleak, racy Northwest. The Negro is a creature of tropical sunshine. It is difficult to associate him with a kind of front and snow. By nature and inheritance he belongs to the land of cotton. The Negroes who compose this exodus are going among a hostile population in a strange land—a people with foreign ways, customs and laws, the opposite of those they have hitherto known. It is more than likely that the change will be an unhappy one, and it is not improbable that most of these immigrants will find their way back across the border before the snow of many Canadian waters have chilled their toes.—I. C. Journal OKLAHOMAINDIAN There are many Indians in the west prominent in public life. Charles C. Carter, one of the fourth congressional district of Oklahoma, is a Chickasaw Indian with some Cherokee blood. Carter was born and brought up among the Indians was educated in an Indian school and has been associated with Indians all his life. Senator Owen of Oklahoma is a quarter breed, W. A Dirand, speaker of the Oklahoma house of representatives, is a Chickasaw, and Benjamin F. Harrison, secretary of state of Oklahoma, is a Choctaw born and educated in the Choctaw nation.

Mr. David G. Morris, the propriator of the Tennessee Drum Co., is a native of North Carolina. Later moved to Newport, Tenn., where he grew up to manhook Mr. Morris is a farmer and is one of the few successful ones in this community. He moved from Newport, Tennessee, twenty five years ago to western Kansas, and homesteaded a place where he remained for five years and successfully ran a Dicksmith shop and also farmed his homestead. It was owing to the death of his former wife that he left western Kansas and moved to Oklahoma. Then he met and wedded Mrs. Sarah Daniels and took up the work he had left off in western Kansas, of farming. Mr Morris is the father of thirteen children, twelve of whom are living. He is a strong advocate of as many Negroes being farmers and has made all of his wealth as such. He now owns something like six hundred acres of land besides some of the best property in the city of Coffeyville, both residence and business property. He pays city taxes to the amount of nearly six hundred and fifty dollars and taxes in the state of Oklahoma for farm lands to the amount of two hundred and fifty dollars, some of his land in Oklahoma being untaxable on account of belonging to minors. Mr. Morris farmed successfully in Oklahoma for twenty years and has shipped cattle and hogs to market in car load lots. He attributes his success to hard work and honest and prompt dealings with everybody. Mr. Morris is a credit to the Negro race not only as a successful farmer, but as an example of what can be accomplished by a thrifty honest and straightforward gentleman, no matter to what race he might belong. Mr. Morris engaged in the drug business about three years ago with a small stock of about eight hundred dollars. The business has now grown to a stock of $1,300 and it is his ambition to have one of the finest if not the finest drug stores in the state of Kansas. He engaged in the drug business with the intention of having a business for his sons. He is now as listed in the drug business by his son Crowder, whose picture appears in the cut of the drug store. This drug store is situated in a good location and deserves the patronage of every Negro in the city of Coffeyville. They have everything in the way of drugs that any other drug store has, then prices compare reasonably with those of the other white drug stores and they not only deserve but merit the patronage, the support of the Negro doctors, as well as that of the whites. A large portion of Negroes think that because a doctor writes his prescription on a pad of another drug store, he must take it there. Such is not the case and you need not be afraid to bring your prescription here no matter whom it is written by. The Negro doctors in the city should give their support wholly to this drug store as their patronage consist of Negroes and in order to further promote their own practice they should help build an institution that is a help to themselves. The drug store enjoys a good patronage and appreciates it greatly. But the Negroes that don't patronize it should remember that they are not written by the white drug stores and are having it privately shown them when they go to the white stores to buy drugs and get service, yet when they go to get something to drink, over the fountain they are refusal on the account of their color. This is an insult that the Negro has not learned to resent and one which is not smoothed over by the fact that he is spoken to on the streets by the white drugstores when he happens to meet him. His magnific of drug store is man aged by Mr. Prent. E. Leson, an old To pula, boy, and one of the best pharma- ats in the state. Mr. Ragleon comes from a line of proud, progressive ancestry, his father, the late William Ragleon, having been prominent in Kansas and Oklahoma for years. COFFEYVILLE, KANSAS. Phone your cream orders to the cream depot. First class service. So that you get the right number. Coffeyville ice cream handled by all first class dealers. Several years ago Mr. John A Warren started what is called "The Ice Cream Depot." It was a small concern employing two or three people. Today the plant is the largest and best equipped in this section with branch stores at Caney and Newata, Okla. The ice cream and other products of this concern have placed it far in the book of any in the Southwest and no party, social or picnic is complete without the pure, which some has manufactured by this concern. Twenty or more people are employed in conducting the business and over 400 pulls of cream and other jobs are turned out daily. Mr. Warren, the proprietor is a real live, progressive business man, a liberal spender of money and is always ready to let a dollar when he sees that Coffey will benefit Mr. Warren enjoys the confidence and respect of a host of warm friends among all classes and is an important factor in the business activity of Coffeyville. THE MIDLAND VALLEY. The Maitland Valley, headquarters of Muskogee Oklahoma has just invaded Kansas, extending their line to Wichita. This is one of the good substantial railroads of Oklahoma, even the "knockers" in Kansas have removed their huts in order to give them a healthy welcome. They are particularly careful in preparing for the accommodation of colored people and offer special inducements for them to settle on the farm lands of the new state. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. A. W. Lefebar, the general traffic manager. He is one of those broad, open, frank gentlemen, highly cultured and believes that the man who toils is worthy of his hire. He has done as much for the advancement of Oklahoma as any man who holds an interest in the new state. He is a buller, booster and gentleman in all that the terms imply. Among the other officials are Mr. C. D. Ingersoll, president, Philadelphia; E. M. Almond, vice president and general manager, Muskogee; J. W. McLoult, general solicitor; Chris Kaigher, C. C., Wichita. They are numbered among America's foremost national magnates and spreading prosperity throughout where the road closes business. Colored people throughout the country have been greatly ministered in regard to cultural accommodations to Oklahoma and the Southland. The Muskogee Grain and Dairy Company is another corporation through whose line Muskogee has been able to diversify its hold in an admirable place with other estates. They are spending thousands of dollars daily for equipment and help and are giving service that ranks second to none. Muskogee is committed to being in a position of the land line company believes in in hiring the prints with the people, and pay a vital wage to all employees. The Mr. Koye Gie and Bloch Company is present because the men managing the conno are now at high intensity and excellent business ability. Mr. H. C. Hoodhill, general manager of the company comes from the Illinois business company where he proved his talent as a business builder. Since coming to Oklahoma Mr. Hoodhill has not but white into the business and it is grown and expanded constantly. He is a tool love who a builder and booster, will believe, will pull labor. W. R. Houston, secretary and treasurer of the company, is a good, safe, sound business man, one whose judgment, care and witfulness will bring success to any portfolio. The nations of Muskova are purely proud of their social and helpful ties and are liberal in making them grow and expand.

It takes a great deal of time and an unlimited amount of patience to train these children both, of which I have given the children, having proven, beyond a doubt to be worthy of all that I have given them. We are now entering upon a campaign to raise funds with which to purchase uniforms for the band. I will reduce about $250 to uniform the band. I have appointed A. G. Hagan, 1935 Harrison street, Lopeka custodian of the uniform fund. He will receive donations and give receipts for the same I earnestly, aloud to every broad and especially to the churches to help the children out, as it is a strict religious organization. The name here of the band will be furnished with solitary cards properly signed by the manager. It is hoped that every one will give something.
