TULSA OUTLOOK
PLEASES PETERS
City Is Closing Year in
Better Condition Than
Anticipated
BUSINESS STABILIZED
Devclopomcnt of Natural Re
courses Insures Great
City Hero
Vsked for a statement regarding,
tlis prospects of Tulsa for the en
suing year, President Charles B.
l'etera of th Chamber of Com
merce Bald:
"While the past year lia ibeen at
t'mca a strenuous one to the great
ell Industry which Is so Important to
Tulsa, I believe wo are closing tho
year In a very much better condition
than had been anticipated and than
Jt tht S Jt fi'ln featured the year in Honryetta
' y,l nanirkv fl T mV'"1 Okmulgee, and civic and educn.
L 'I ftr"1CLf?' ,f?Mm' ?lt "onal endeavor regained the mo-
tj. business men and oil operators
know now exactly where they are,
L jsinesa lines have been adjusted
to meet present conditions, and there
Is a more solid substantial basis for
present operations, for credits, and
f.r future development than has ex
is' ed for some time past. With these
conditions prevailing I can not nee
rut that wo will enter tho new
jcar better fortified to me.et tho con
ditions which ario than ever before.
"Tho financial situation Is very
vjrh Improved. It will not bo so
difficult to secure funds for In
creased development. -Tho oil mar
1.cJ, when changing, will bo for the
letter for tho producer and manu
facturer, and thin will make for in-;
.teased employment and goodj
wages. During tho year moro thaw
one thousand men will bo employed
on the water project alone for Tul
a, nnd the financed building and!
development program of moro than
122,000,000 will Insure tho year's
prosperity for thoso who really want
to work na well as for tha mer
ciants. Tho decided Improvement con
'antly taking place in tho agricul
tural sections of northeastern Okla
homa are adding permanent values
to farm lauds and a constant in
rrearo In production of farm prod
ucts, dairy products and In live
ttonk; and tho improvement in tho
market for lead and zinc and the
demand for coal in Tulsa's trade
territory preclude tho possibility of
a depression which has heretofore
existed In coal mining districts and
in the lead and zinc flections.
"Tho development of our hard1
rurface roads has mado Tulsa the
outstanding county in tho state, and
tho extension of thesa highways
into other countlefl is now an as
buretl fact for tho near futuro.
"I think I may safely say that
within a radius of 100 miles of Tul
tn. lio the greatest natural resources
io bo found anywhere on tho Ameri
can continent and It is fortunatoly
inuo that thero is at this tlmo no
depression in tho market values of
tho production of any of theso re
sources. On the contrary .there la
an upward trend In tho markets all
along tho lino and this can not but
18 beneficial to Tulsa. The census
leport shows that the great devel
opment of Oklahoma during tho past
10 years has been in tho northeast
ern section, of which Tulsa is the
natural and logical trade center, and
to tho student of tho resources of
his section tho fact is patent that
the development of those resources Is
but In its infancy!
"With proper publicity, with the
dissemination nationally of tho real
facts pertaining to tho possibilities
of Tulsa and Its trado territory
thousands of enthusiastic people can
bo brought hero and tho history ot
Tulsa Is that it sells Itself to almost
100 por cent of its visitors, and many
of them after a short stay decldo to
become permanent residents.
"From every viewpoint I can see
only continued prosperity for that
city and for this section and unless
all the elgns of the times fail, 1923
will eet a new high water mark for
Tulsa's progress. With tho active
work of the Chamber of Commerce
and other civic organizations of
Tulsa and tho splendid spirit of co
operation on the part of the press
of tho city there la 'no reason why
thousands of visitor! whould not
come hero during tho next year, and'
of many of thesa wo may confidently
expect to make permanent citizens."

Story of Progress During 1922 Over East
Oklahoma Most Outstanding in History, so
Survey of World Correspondents Reveals
Depression of 1921
Turned Into Progress
OKMUIXSHU, Dec. 30.- -Starting
1022 with tho handicap that tho
business and financial depression of
1921 brought to every community In
Oklahoma, Okmulgee city and
couuty, sustained by the great and
varied rosourccs of the community,
turned depression Into progression,
and the year closes with prosperity
ro-oatablHhed and development pro
ceeding In all of the various lndun
trial, commercial and civic circles
of the county.
Is'ew high records for production
were established In several Indus
tries, Ji, 000.000 worth of new
hard-surfaco roads were built with
in the county, a new high record for
oil production In a12-motith period
was made in tho Okmulgee oil dis
trict of which Okmulgee la tho cen
tcr and business capital, home build
mentum that was lost during tho
depressing days of tho last few
months of 1321.
Production ot oil Is tho principal
Industry In Okmulgeo and In tho
year 1922 tha Okmulgeo district
which Includes considerable terri
tory outsldo ot Okmulgeo county,
produced 18,300,321 barrola, a new
high record for all tlmo in this dis
trict. Income to producers and land
owners exceeded $35,000,000 during
proximately $250,000 wero built in
tho district during tho year and ad
ditions and Improvements costing
$1,000,000 were installed at tho
five oil refineries at Okmulgeo, tho
Waito Phillips company and tho Km
plro Itcfinorles (Inc.) each spending
about $100,000 on betterments at
their Okmulgeo plants. t
Tho 1022 road-bulldlng program
Included the building of hard-surface
roads from Okmulyuo north to
Deggs, a distance of 10 miles; from
Okmulgoo east to Morris, 7
miles, and from Okmulgeo bouth to
Honryetta, 14 miles. All ot this work
has been completed with the excep
tion ot a six-mile stretch between
Okmulgoo nnd Schultor, tho contract
for which is let and tho money and
materials nvn liable.
After nearly a year of shutdoTvns
causcdi by market conditions, the
glass-making Industry, tho second
largest In Okmulgee, was restored to
a full production basis curly In tho
year and threo ot Okmulgee's big
plans aro now running full blast.
Another big Okmulgeo county In
dustry that is fast getting back to
normal after a year of Inactivity Is
the coal mining business, centered
aboutllcnryetta in tho southern part
of tho county. Th coal minors'
strike on April 1, 1921, shut down
every mlno In tho county, but prac
tically all of the mines wero re
opened In tho fall ot 1922 and thero
aro 2,500 men now employed in tho
40 mines of this county. Tho nvcr
ago production of tho county when
tho mines run on a normal basis is
about four million tons per year.
Uulldlng permits in Okmulgeo in
1022 totaled $1,225,775, and a largo
part of this sum went Into handsomo
homes. A new city library costing
$35,000 was built and Is to bo opened
early In January; additions costing
$400,000 wero mado at tho city hos
pital and a now hospital for negroes
costing $50,000 was also built and
emitnnod. A. tract of land containing
30 acres was bought by a group of.
tiuhlle-solritcd citizens and 20 acres
ot this was turned over to tho city
for park purposes free of cost.
Basing their predictions for tho
future on tho records of tho past,
leaders In every lino of endeavor in
Okmfflgeo county and in Okmulgee's
trade territory look lorwaru inio
1023 and tho years to como with
every confldcnco In tho continued
growth and prosperity of the entire
community. It Is certain that tho
natural resources of tho Okmulgeo
community havo been barely
scratched and that their develop
ment will take many decades. To
that task Okmulgccans will devoto
themselves during 1023.
Lead and Zinc Mines
Made New World's Record
MIAMI, Dec. 80. In a dounty
which shipped more than $20,000,
000 worth ot lead and zinc oro In
12 months tho development of tho
mines which produced this nro
naturally is tho outstanding accom
plishment of tho year. Tho Oklahoma-Kansas
mining district, for
merly known as tho trl-stato district
when Missouri mines wero being
operated on a largo scale, produced
more than $25,000,000 worth o oro
during tho past 12 months. Prac
tically all of this metal was taken
from mlnos in Ottawa county and a
small strip bordering on tho north
ern part of the oounty near the
Kansas stato line.
An Increase In tho prlca of xlne
from les3 than $20 per ton to moro
than twico that flguro and a cor
responding increase in tho jffica of
lead to $00 per ton brought about
a remarkable development in th!
lead and rlnc mining industry and
tho camp north ot Miami is now
declared to be as thriving as in tho
early days when tho rich field was
first rovealed.
It is Impossible to estlmats tho
expenditures which havo been mado
Inco tho increase in oro prices
brought about reopening of many
mlnos which had been abandoned.
That figures would run into millions
Is assertod by conservative mining
engineers, nany new mms navo
been built and a number of them
cost between $200,000 and $300,000.
Tho next event of importancn In
the advancement ot Ottawa coun
ty has been tho adoption of a defi
nite program of farm development,
Including the establishment of four
domonstratlon farmo, which will bo

Predicted Calamity
Benefits Coal Mine Zone
M'ALKSTEU, Deo. 30. Tho pav
roll ot Pittsburg county's 31 coal
mines when working regularly is
about $30,000 a day. With tho rail
roads changing to oil-burning loco
motives a largo per cent ot tho
mlno pay roll may bo cut off. Hut
oftlmes a seomlug calamity results
advantageously, Tho poor outlook
for tho coal market has brought
about a ivcw phase ot the coal In
dustry, l'ulverlzed coal with tho
new machinery for Its uso Is con
sidered ono ot tho greatest Innova
tlonn of the day. Coal dust is simi
lar to gun powder in Its Inflamma
bility and when blown In a steady
stream Into tho furnnco It Is snid to
ho superior to oil or gas. Slack
coal, which has been a drug on tho
market nt any price, when pulver
ized is converted into tho finest and
most economical of fuels. This is
at present belns: used In tho Pitts
burg mines In this county nnd Its
great economy has attracted heads
of Industrial concerns from many
states. As a result a now era has
dawned for tho coal mining coun
ties. Numerous factories aro to bo
established hero In order to got tho
benefit of tho cheap fuct. This will
act not only as a stimulant to the
coal industry, but tho Introduction
of many new enterprises in tho
county.
