OKLAHOMA A3JD ADJACEST TERBITOKT.
The new repon opened to settlement, as shown in the map, is bounded thus: North, Black
Bear Creek; east, the Iovras, Sac and Fox, Kickapoos ind Pottawatomie reservations; south
west, the Canadian river; south, Arrapahoe reservation; northwest, the Cimarron river. The
Atlantic and Pacific road passes through the center of the new Territory.
The beautiful valley of the Xorth Canadian
river stretches for miles on cither side of
the stream, being especially broad on the
outh side, before, by gradual ascent, the
uplands are reached, whence the gently
rolling prairies stretch into boundless
space.
This Korth Canadian Valley is the gar
den spot of the Oklahoma country the
Canaan of the boomers. Soil of the utmost
Tertility, water in abundance rivers,springs,
lakes timber on the river banks and here
and there over the prairies, giving the en
tire scene a park-like appearance, and a
climate that knows not extremes, all com
bine to enhance the beauty of the country,
nd to assure in the future aland flowing
with milk and honey.
Tne trip from "Wichita to Oklahoma City
was a sdcccssion of surprises and revela
tions. Every mile or two alter leaving the
metropolis of Southwest Kansas trains of
covered wagons were seen winding their
way toward the Kansas line. Around
Arkansas City hundreds oi boomers were
camped, and the valley reaching down to
the Cherokee Strip was dotted every few
yards with groups of wagons and tents.
THE tSOIAS AT HOME.
At the first stopping place one has a fair
opportunity to see the red man at home;
and while the sight would perhaps not add
much to the sympathy that poor Xio's con
dition has aroused in the far East, the sam
ples seen here are a lair representation of
of the Indian as he is in real life a lazy,
dirty, good-for-nothing. As on the pre
vious night the Indians had held high
revel; representatives from most oi the
tribes were present at the agency, so that
the opportunity to draw conclusions was a
more th3n ordinarily good one.
From Ponca to Mendota, a station near
the Black Bear creek, the country grows
more rolling and better timbered in the
Ticinity of the waterways. On Black Bear
creek, -which we crossed soon after leaving
Mendota, we met with more "boomers'"
camps. Two immigrants' wagons had re
cently come in. The would-be settlers had
just Had time to put up their tent and were
preparing a meal when there appeared on
the scene four Indian scouR A little dog
playing with the children barked and was
promptly shot dead, and without a word the
tent was torn down, the lamily and all their
belongings bundled into the wagons and
started toward the Kansas line.
The more rugged country in the neighboi"
hood cf Black Bear creek soon gives way to
the fertile valleys of the Oklahoma country,
and by the time the fine trestle bridge
across the Cimarron is reached the view
from the train is one of great beauty and
presents an immense tract of valley land of
glorious fertility and as favored in the way
of natural drainage, timber and water as
perhaps any other lands within the domain
of the Unit"d States. Soon we ran into Ofc
lahoma City and out &gain into the dark
ness, and it was during the rnn from hereto
Purcell that, for perhaps SO miles, we par
alleled a blazing wall of fire said to have
been started by the boomers to starve out
the cattle men.
rUSCEX.Ii A MOVABLE TOWX.
The frontier town Purcell stands on a
lofty bluff overlooking the South Canadian
Paver, and to the east a part of the Okla
homa country A number of very primitive-looking
frame structures, tents, holes
in the ground covered with canvas and
every conceivable form of habitation that
will serve for temporary protection ore
perched on the hillside, but as one passes
these and reaches the bluff there looms up a
gathering of more pretentious buildings
which iorm the business portion of the
town, but which were evidently constructed
with a view to their easy removal should it
be deemed advisable to transfer the town to
any point that might appear more suitable,
the only structures of any permanencv be
ing the Catholic Mission School and the
church and school buildings of the Metho
dist, Presbyterian and Catholic denomina
tions. One reason for this unsubstantial condi
tion of affairs is that the land on which
Purcell is built belongs to a Chickasaw
Darned Eobert love, who leases the ground
to the proprietors of the buildings, and who
is very much easier to deal with as long as
,there exists the possibility that the town
3fcT be moved. There are, perhaps, 2,000
peOTsle in and about the place, and it is
rightly called the headauarters of the
"boomers." Many of these men have ac
cumulated considerable means, and will
xaake their fresh start in the new land un
der very flattering auspices, but there are
many whose woebegone appearance and
demoralized outfits forbode but sorry times
for them.
It has been stated on competent autborilv
that the reservation contained fully 30,000
people in all ready to move at a moment's
notice. That they were getting impatient is
not to be wondered at when it is realized
that the great majority of them have invest
ed their all in the venture, and see the time
rapidly approaching when they should be
getting in the crops they count upon to sup
port them during the coming winter.
ROUGH, BUT MIGHT BE W0IJSE.
The town has never been incorporated,
and is ruled solely by United States author
ity, and while there is plentr of lite and
bustle and a fair sprinkling of hard charac
ters, such as are always to be found in
frontier towns, there is a marked absence of
rowdyism, probably due to some extent to
the enforced prohibition of all intoxicants.
Of course in its time the town has been run
bv tough characters, and the walls of many
of the buildings be3r evidence to the shoot
ing that has been done by them, nd even
now a gang will occasionally terrorize the
entire community, but such "terrors" are
cenerallr brought to time by the deputy
United States marshals.
To the south of Purcell lie the Chickasaw
and Pottawatomie countries, which may
well be counted among the richest and most
productive lands in the Union. Paul's
Valley is one immen farm, stretching for
mileswithout sign of fence. A failure of
crops is an unheard of thing, and corn often
vields 100 bushels to the acre and sells now
in Purcell at 20 cents' a bushel. Cotton is
said to go a bale to the acre.
The South Canadian, below Purcell, is
almost dry, and presents a broad channel,
whose dangerous quicksands have buried
many a traveler and hidden many a murder.
Boomers in numbers were camped among
the jack oaks fringing the banks, but as
soon as the line is crossed into Oklahoma
proper they are hard to find, not because
there are none, but because they are hidden
in the breaks and in the belts of timber.fear
ful lest they shall be seen by soldiers. The
country here is broken and does not im
prove very much until, at Gorman, the
divide between the Xorth and South Cana
dians is passed. Here the country "grows
THE MOST GIGANTIC STOCK OF FURNITURE
ever brought to and exhibited in this city is to be seen at our spacious store. This is no exaggeration,
but the simple truth. Wish that every buyer of furniture would go to any or every installment store in
Pittsburg, then come to us, and if we don't show five times the variety, and name lower prices than any
other concern, then we will not consider ourselves entitled to'your patronage.
Take Bedroom Suites, for instance. We devote almost an entire floor (representing more space
than ordinary stores aggregate) to thedisplay and sale of these goods alone, and there is not a fashion
able or staple style that is not included in our assortment
Our stock of Parlor Furniture is equally attractive. ' We show many entirely novel designs in Par
lor Suites, as well as odd pieces, such as sofas, rockers, arm chairs, cabinets, center tables, etc.
As to Diningroom Furniture a single glance at our extensive and elegant assortment of sideboards
will suffice to show that we lead all competition. Special attention is called to our gorgeous Mahogany
sideboards in scores of entirely new and original styles. Extension tables, all kinds and sizes. Dining
room chairs, by the thousand.
For the Sittingroom and Library we have a truly marvelous assortment of choice and cheap
furniture.

EVERYTHING IN' HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS
is here, and at such prices as only Keech can name. Your particular attention is directed to our excel
lent assortment of Refrigerators and Ice Chests. Time was when many poor families couldn't afford a
refrigerator. That time has passed ever since the era of Keech's popular prices has commenced.
Of course, you want a first-class Stove or Range in your house. Let us supply that want, if you
want a good article for little money. It is a well known fact that we carry the best and most celebrated
grades of Stoves and Ranges and sell them actually for less money than other dealers get for far inferior
makes.
If you need anything in Tinware or Woodenware, remember, that we can serve you to perfection.
And, how about Crockery and Queensware? If you have any wants in this line, bear in mind that we
carry a complete assortment and name prices that.cannot be approached by the exclusive crockery
houses of Pittsburg. Right on our first floor we show you a large and beautiful assortment of Silver
ware and Cutlery, and right here let it be understood that, unlike the jewelry houses of this city, we
don't charge from 50 to 100 per cent profit on these goods. Our usual very modest margin is quite
sufficient for us.

IN A BOOMEE3 CAMP.
"We soon started out to prospect. Beach
ing the river, which is deep here, we were
at a loss to know how to cross, when we
were suddenly contronted by a stranger,
who eyed us most suspiciously. After re
assuring him, he conducted us into a veri
table boomers' camp, snugly ensconced
among the thick timber on the bank of the
river. Half a dozen men were preparing a
meal round a fire. In a tent near by were
others playing cards, and a few yards off,
from within the recesses of still o'ther can
vas houses, came the voices of women and
children. A bargain was soon struck with
the owner of one of the wagons, and in a
short time we were roaming over the old
pony express trail from Vinita to Albu
querque behind a pair of fiery Indian
ponies.
Further up the river wc crossed and
struck the old Arbuckle trail, over which
in days gone by much of the wealth of the
Texas cattle rangers flowed into Kansas,
and a little further on we surmounted the
bill top. the kite of the town of Swing,
whence we viewed the magnificent JS'orth
Canadian valley in all its richness.
Oklahoma Harry Hill's ranch, which he
staked out during the Pavne. raid, U near
by and below ns in the woods,and though we
could not see them, we knew that hundreds
of "boomers" were camped. Eater we came
across several of them and found that
that entire section had been laid out in
claims and that already much fighting had
resulted for the ownership.
GAME IJT ABUKDANCE.
It was some time before we could find
one particular camp of which we were in
search, but we finally reached it, embedded
in the midst of the thick wood, almost a
jungle, so luxuriant was the growth of vine
and underbrush. Oaks of all kinds, cot
tonWood, hackberry, persimmon, elm, wal
nut and box elder crowded each other, and
a few paces from the camp we stumbled
upon a miniature lake. We had friends in
this camp who gave us ample evidence of
the abundance of game of all kinds that
roamed in their immediate vicinity. Deer,
ducks, turkeys, prairie chickens and quails
are to be had without number.
The North Canadian Valley centers in
Oklahoma City, so that there will probably
be the large city of the district Upon th'e
uplands surrounding there is abundance
ot good grass and ample water for stock.
This valley is comparable to the famous
"Washita Valley, south of Purcell, in point
ot richness of soil, and as the river water
permeates the sandy subsoil there is no fear
of drought.
The difference between the condition of
affairs at Oklahoma City and Purcell is
very marked. At the latter place many ot
the boomers are occupied ia tilling rented
lands, but at Oklahoma City all are de
pendent on the opening ot the country to
settlement, although there are here, as else
where, comparatively wealthy prospectors
looking for chances to snap up anything
good that may offer.

A Golden Opportunity to Furnish Your Homes
is presented by Keech's Mammoth Penn Avenue Outfitting Establishment this week. This being moving week many house
keepers will replenish or refurnish their homes, and, in order to catch 'fcheir trade, Keech will offer unusual inducements for
the next six days. As a matter of fact we are always underselling every Furniture and Carpet House in the city, but during
this week we simply will break our best records for low prices. We mean to make this the grandest House Furnishing
chance of a decade, and those who fail to take advantage of it will have none to blame but themselves. It is a generally
admitted fact that we are now supplying one half of the population of both cities with Furniture and Carpets, and, if the
other half would only stop, think, consider and investigate, we would furnish every house in Pittsburg and Allegheny. But
enough! Let it suffice to be said that, if you intend to make any improvements in your home this spring, it will behoove you
to call at our store this week and see with your own eyes the wonderful bargains that are awaiting you.
