MIAMI. IND. TER.

The above 10 the name Of o new
town just springing into existence III
the Ottawa Indian reservation, l.
T., about seventeen miles southwest OF
this city. On March Sd last q bill
passed congress authorizing the sale to
q town company of q tract of land EN-.
bracing about 588 acres. This compa-
nv Is known as the Miami town COM
pany, and has been under process OF
organization aud moving along quiet
" with its business for some time.
The land has been carefully surveyed
and plated into lots and blocks, the
plat recorded in Washington aud a
patent issued from the United States
to the town company thus giving 1t a
perfect title to the property. The COM
pany is now busy fixing prices Of lots,
ETC., and in q very short time will be
ready to open the lots for sale to actu-
al settlers, who will be given perfect
title direct from the government. The
company is contracting for the erec-
ton of a twO.story company office
building there and already the de-
mand for lots on which to erect store
buildings and the like far exceeds the
expectations of the company. Ex-
Gov. Sam'l j. Crawford, Congressman
Perkins and several other prominent
men are interested in the company
and will be here in q few days to take
hold of the matter with sleeves rolled
back and make Miami the city OF
northeastern Indian territory.
So far as the new town will affect
Baxter Springs there is a difference OF
opinion. Some think it will be the
ruination OF our city, while Others be-
lieve il will result in no permanent IN
Jury To our town. Be that as 1t may
the thing for our merchants TO do now
is to prepare for AL increased trade Ia
ouitiitimg for the new town. There
will be lots of work for freighiers un'
til the contemplated railroad is bnill
and the probability is that Baxter vii
be headquarters for supplies for Miami
for some time.
The following telegram was receiv
ed Wednesday by o. j. Nichols, secre
tary of the Miami town company:
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 20, 9l.
O.J. Nichols, Sec'y, Baxter Springs
Kansas.
Patent issued, signed, sealed and de
livered. Let her 90, Gallagher.

ACCOMMODATION TRAIN NEEDED.

ACCOMMODATION TRAIN NEEDED.
The Memphis route has been re-
quested to put on morning and even
ing train between Baxter Springs and
Webb City, and Mr.. Lockwood says
he is willing to put OH such train
Just as soon as it will prove remuner-
alive. There is no doubt as to the
feasibility of a train leaving here in
the morning for Webb City and re-
turning in the evening. Many per-
sons who are interested in the mining
towns would like to reside In Baxter
IL they could leave here in the morn
ing and get back at night. There has
never been so good q demand for
dwellings in Baxter as at present, and
hundreds of families now living in
the mining towns would come here to
live II the railroad would put on an
accommodation train as suggested aud
sell communication tickets. The desira-
bility of Baxter Springs as a residence
is known far and wide, and her many
natural advantages are attracting q
very desirable class of people, aud II
the Memphis route would help us out
In this matter we would have the most
charming residence city on the line Of
that road.
