A few years ago a chance in a drawing of lots an Blackwell. could be had for $5.00 and the same lots are now worth many hundreds of dallara. Tha.t was a.n Opportunity. Ponca City, lots sold for on the drrwing plan, and now these lota sell readily at $500 to $3,000, Thai was art Opportunity. Lots that sold in Muscogee, I.

a few years ago for $250 now bring $12,500, and that was an Opportunity. But looking backward brings little satisfaction when we see whatjve might have made, but failed to grasp the opportunity. Many a man with weak nerves looked over the plats of Kausas City or Omaha when those cities were villages and lots now worth $25,000 to 50,000 each could have been bought for $200, and then went away saying he could see nothing to build up a city. It takes Nerve, Energy and Money to build a city, but the development of a new country makes it easier. The development of Kansas built Kansas City; The development of Nebraska built Omaha; and in a smaller way the development of coal has built a number of prosperous cities.

The development of gas built up Iola, Coffey ville add other cities of eastern Kansas, and it was the finding of oil that sent the prices of real estate skyward in Bart-letsville, I. T. Now Winfield, I. is in the COAL, OIL and GAS belt, and when these are all developed, who can measure the impetus that will be given to pnpes of Real Estate? A few dollars invested now means a competency in the near future. There' is one RIGHT TIME to buy, and that is when prices are low.

Lots in similar towns are readily selling for from $100 to $300, but in order to make some developments, the Winfield Townsite Company has put prices down so that all may be closed out quickly, and that the development of the town may begin. Lots may be secured of either of the promoters, A. L. Tuttle, Dr. S.

The Burden gas well drillers has had to stop at 1305 feet in depth on account of a bad cavein and a heavy ilow of salt water, also on account of not being able to procure casing. Operations will be resumed again as soon as the proper amount of casing can be procured. At the above depth samples of gas sand was brought to the surface just before the cave-in happened. Every indication is favorable so far for a strong flow of gas or oil. It is indeed unfortunate to have this trouble occur just at the present outlook.
