. He envisioned Sand Springs as a haven for orphans and widows. Page helped found and develop Sand Springs as a model city that included all components of a total community.Carl N. Gregory, "Sand Springs", ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture''
, Accessed May 6, 2011. Page bought 160 acres of land in Tulsa County in 1908, intending to build a home for orphan children. The first 27 children, who had been abandoned by the Hook & Anchor Orphanage in Tulsa, were housed in a tent. This was soon replaced by a frame building large enough to house 50 children. Page decided to form a model community, to be called Sand Springs, on land west of the children's home. He offered free land to any person who wished to move there, and a $20,000 bonus (the amount varied and he also offered free utilities) to companies that would relocate there. In 1911, Page created the Sand Springs Railway, an interurban connecting Sand Springs to Tulsa. The townsite was laid out the same year. Sand Springs was incorporated as a city in 1912, with a population of 400. In 1911, Page also built the Sand Springs Power Plant, on the southeast corner of Main Street and Morrow Road. It anchored an area that Page intended to use for industrial development. Several significant additions were made to the facility, and it was the sole source of electric power for Sand Springs until 1947. Some of the earliest manufacturing industries were: Kerr Glass Manufacturing; Commander Mills, Kerr, Hubbard and Kelley Lamp, and Chimney; Southwest Box Company; Empire Chandelier Company; and Sinclair Prairie Refining Company. Medical and social welfare institutions other than the Sand Springs Home included the Oakwood Sanitorium for nervous and mental diseases, Poole Hospital, the Salvation Army Maternity Home, and the Sand Springs School for the Deaf. Sand Springs became a center of glass production in Oklahoma. Kerr Glass Manufacturing moved to Sand Springs from Chicago in 1913. It and the Alexander H. Kerr company, which made fruit jars, were the only glass companies remaining in business as recently as 1955.Everett, Dianna. "Glass Manufacturing"

. Parleys between mill officials and workers were initiated February 14th, with unionized mill workers demanding full accordance with the act's codes and ordinances. The disagreement between mill officials and workers was over section 7-A of the N.R.A., stating that employees had the right to self organization. Mill officials disagreed, stating section 7-A was invalid by decree of the courts. On April 4th, a brawl between union and non-union workers broke out at the gates of Commander Mills, ending in several injuries and one arrest. The following month, multiple mill workers subsequently began with acts of violence and terrorism in retaliation against mill officials and non-union workers. Totaling eleven explosions (twelve attempts in total, one failed to explode), four shootings, and one assault, the criminal campaign lasted from May 5th to July 4th.
