SINK THAT TEST HOLE.
Strike Gas and the Railroad
is Assured.

"Vinita could wellafford to spend
four or FIVE thousand dollars just
now in developing the natural gas
underlying the town" said a gen.
tleman last night who does not re-
side here but is well acquainted
with our affairs. He is familiar
with the surface indications here
and the gas and oil development
on all sides of US. Further, he
has somewhat to do with railroad
extension in this country, and the
prospect of Vinita securing the
Arkansas IL Oklahoma was under
discussion. The gentleman had
no doubt whatever that gas was at
our disposal and Cnce we sunk a
well and disclosed it beyond ques-
tiOn he believed the new railroad
was as good as assured. 1t would
give the town such prominence and
assurance of reaching important
proportions in a comparatively
short time that no extending rail
road could afford TO miss us.
Certainly it seems as though rea-
sons for the development company
getting 10 work were almost in
Vulnerable. Let the first assess
ment be called and COL
lected while other preliminaries
are being considered. The pro-
posed lest hole is going to be sunk
and money will be needed-no
doubt of that.

SOMEWHAT PERSONAL.
Second Year of The Daily
Opens AuspiCiOusIy,

The Chieftain is not making any
undue noise about its business but
is printing a mighty good newspa-
per every day in the week. We
have every reason to believe that
it is more generally read than any
newspaper in the northern district.
Our reasoning has been to go
ahead and print Che best newspa-
per possible, and that the people
would "do the rest" we were not
mistaken in our calculations and
have the satisfaction of knowing
that our paper is universally read
throughOu. the Northern district.
4 year ago Monday we began the
publication of a daily edition Of
The Chieftain, and are more than
gratifed at the results and have
the satisfaction OF seeing it eagerly
sought and read by nearly every
person in and around Vinita, and
quite a large circulation has been
reached in the neighboring towns.
Each month makes the task of
printing daily newspaper easier,
Is the town is constantly growing,
new people and new features and
new enterprises coming to the
front rendering the daily gathering
of the news imperative.
This week is the beginning of
the fall term of court, and we ex-
pect to make a specially of report
ing the court news as fully as pos
sible, and the paper will De Hnusu-
ally full Of live local and general
matter.

THE NEW IN MILLINERY.
Features and Birds Follow
the Flowers.

While artists and designers fash
ion new styles of ladies headgear,
feminine loveliness will continue
to come out on opening nights to
admire and try on their produc-
tions.
Last Thursday afternoon and
night saw the ushering in of the
fall millinery season at (. n. Rat
cliff Millinery Co.'S. 1t also saw an
opening devoid of music, cut flow
ers or any "side issues"-simply a
display Of millinery and its acces-
sorles. While the store below dis
closed the exercise of industry and
good taste in preparing for the
event, there was a lack of appear
ance of having all the stock on ex-
hibition, and nothing was done to
detract from the millinery depart
ment display up stairs. There hats
and bonnets for persons of all ages,
and tastes, and conditions in soci-
ETY., were to be seen. Feathers,
birds and pronounced colors have
succeeded the flowers and airy
trimmings of summer, and there
is a suggestion of CHEEKY winter in
the surroundings.
A millinery opening where the
hats were not handsome would be
a wonder. Were they not so no
openings would be held. BY no
means was the beauty and lowell
ness confined last night to Miss
Fayant's creations in millinery.
The guests, by their smiling and
animated faces, did much to add to
the beauty of the scene, and there
is no denying that the attractive
ness of a bat is materially en-
hanced by surmounting a hand
some face-and this is a rule that
works both ways.
Aside from the hats and ieath-
ers, which traversed the whole line
of such articles, as stated, one of
the most attractive sights was the
display of velvets for trimmings.
They were tastefully massed along
one side of the room and made a
show which missed the eye of no
one. Some Of them, the green's in
particular, were exquisite.

TAKE WARNING.
Use of Our Means, Not Possession

Thirty years ago Chicago people
said with a great deal of assurance
that Chicago woulc be as large and

ST. Louis at that time had 80 per
cent larger population than Chica.

cago has accomplished has aston
ished the world While st. Louis
has grown steadily, Chicago has
more than doubled the population
Of ST. Louis and three times the
commerce. The city without
money but with plenty of enter
prise has so far out grown the
wealthy but sleepy neighbor that
the one wouldn't much more than
make a suburb to The other. VI

experience. VIniia has the mon

it up to get the new railroad head

at command? vii, they hold the
nickle so closely to the eye as to
obscure from the vision the dollar
that could be get by going after it?
Other territory towns are alive and
on the alert and Vinita must not re-
lax her vigilance or energy, simply
because she has more wealth with
in her borders than any two or
three of her most important neign-
bors.

PROSPECTING ABROAD.
Our Own Deposits Ignored
Almost Entirely.

All over the southwest-the
Cherokee nation and Vinita in-

been prospecting for lead and zinc
mines in central Arkansas. The
more difficult of access, the more
highly, apparently, are the rocky
hills priced At Coffeyville and

been formed, and all are going to

The Muskogee steam laundry

two weeks, and the Excelsior Of

The capacity Of the plant here is
large enough so that this extra

All summer they have furnished
employment to from eight to ten
persons. During the last year
