ALL VINITANS CAN AID.
We Must FavorabIy Impress
The Kansas ,Citians.

The Kansas City commercial
club will be here Saturday and our
citizens are getting ready to give
them a cordial greeting. The only
regret is that their stay in Vinita
is not longer. We are anxious to
cultivate Kansas City as we are
several hours nearer it than any
other large city in the country.
The business importance OF the
Indian Territory will be vastly in
creased in the near future II the
Cherokee treaty meets with the
approval of congress which 1t no
doubt will. 1t is said the Frisco
has in contemplation the revision
of its sign boards along its line
through this country, as at present
they read - miles from st.
Louis" when in truth something
ought to be said about the distance
from Kansas City.
Saturday when the special train
bringing this select company
reaches Vinita, our business men
should not lose the opportunity of
giving them a good impression of
a good town, and one that is CAL
culated in the near future to do
more business with Kansas City
than any other town in the Indian
Territory.
There are about 100 men in the
party and they are keen business
fellows, and this itinerary is not
without method aud an eye to
business in the future. We need
Kansas City and it needs US, SO let
the meeting Saturday be the be-
ginning OF new era in our
business relations with the second
city in the Mississippi valley.

ten and twelve thousand Ninlta,
with a population of 1924, with Its
lots untaxable, has an assessed
valuation OF about one million dol
lars-the clerk has not completed
the footings-since the equalizlne
board has its inning. Either the
property owners of Parsons have
no regard for their oath in giving
in their property, or else each In
habitant of Vinita is worth as
much as four or five Parsonites-
not counting the formers lots

recently called by the Baptist
church of this city as its pastor,
writes the Central Baptist, St.
Louis, in part as follows:
My first visit TO the territory is
made in winter, the most unfavor-
able time to see a new country;
yet if spring and summer, as they
always do. follow with increased
beauty and loyeliness, this cer-
tainly is one of the Lords favored
countries. And if the treaty agreed
upon between the Dawes commits

is ratified, as it is believed it will
be, there will be nothing in the
way of its rapid development.
