MAKING A FIGHT.
Fort Riley Would Be the Permanent

Guthrie, o. T., Sept 23.-A Lawton dis
patch says:
Postmaster White has received a let
ter from Junction City, Kan, saying
that that town is making fight to have
the general army maneuvers established
as a regular event at that point. The
correspondent of Mr.. White further says
that in order to secure sufficient area
for the movement of the troops over the
field il has been found necessary to rent
ground from the farmers of five town
ships The reservation contains less than
10000 acres, badly cut up by the Kaw
river.
Government authorities last year in
formed the people there that the place
was too small for the successful opera
tion of a large army in a way that the
future maneuvers might he held where
there was more room. According to
Whites informant the farmers In those

case. that the maneuvering of the SOL

Washbourne family and stand
unframed just as they came
from the hand Of the painter.
This brilliant young artist
died in Little Lock at the home
of DR.. Thomas Welch in the
28th year Of his age. Thus
terminated in the morning Of
life one Of Arkansas first and
most gifted artists. Had he
lived to attain the allotted age
of man, with his high ambition,
his rapid improvement and de-
votion to his profession he
would no doubt have been
classed and recognized among
the first artists of his day.

like Texas, nor cold like Iowa,
not dry as Kansas and Ne
braska, nor wet as Arkansas,
not rough, nor yet not too fiat,
but as beautiful as lays above
the sea; where can be grown
every grain and every fruit, and
where hay will grow without
cultivation to such perfection
that it is as profitable as grain.
Where stock can Craze all the
year, where health abounds in

sufficient to run all the furnaces

Where coal may be had by Dig

Where lead as rich as Missouri
or Michigan, and zinc as fine as

smelted. Where artesian water,
the finest in the world, flows

Midway between the Missis-
sippi and the mountains, mid
way between the Missouri and
the Red rivers, midway between
st. Louis and Oklahoma City,
midway between Kansas City
and Dallas, Vinita is indeed in
a position to call to her gates
thousands of good people look

of money looking for good in

She has the chance to be a
city of furnaces and factories;
a city of commerce and trade.

city in the region named be-
cause it has the best climate,
the best lands, the best miner

the best opportunity for trans

for new railroads. the best place
for a home and the best place
for making a living.
The opportunity Of the hour
for Vinita is only to tell the
world what she has-advertise

VNITA'S GREAT
OPPORTUNITY
The Gate City Of the twin

n 4LN~
1 territories, Vinita, now
has that CREST wave to ride to
fame and fortune upon.
She is not wise, she does not
merit success, if she fails in
this opportune hour to grasp
her chance.
Fortune knocks once at least
at every door step, and if
watched for and invited to come
in she will abide therein and
change to dazzling splendor the
somber hangings Of the COM
mon-place.
We are just entering the
golden age Of human glory and
this republic Of ours is to be
the queen Of the earth-the
imperious leader of the world.
Tyranny is to be sacrificed upon
the affairs Of liberty and every
country shall have Vendome
Ia column Of the 14th of July
erected in the ashes of a bas-
tile. Progress is to be the order
of the age. China and the east
is to be the great future market
outside the borders of our own
land, and it is now battle be-
tween America on the one hand
and Germany, Russia and Brit
ain on the other as to who shall
lead in it's trade.
In the years to come the pro-
ducts of factory and farm, under
the progressive leadership Of
American statesmen and mer-
chants in their fight for foreign
markets, will increase in value
and production.
Iron, steel and metals will be
in greater demand. Corn,
wheat and grasses shall increase
in value. New territory for
production will be sought. Mil
lions of acres of prairie lands
and mountain mesa will be
brought under irrigation and
the great plains and valleys of
this garden spot of America
the Indian Territory-will be
brought under the highest state
of cultivation. Cities and towns
will spring up in profuse abun-
dance, as they have in the richer
sections of the east, and mil
lions Of people will come into
this land of rich opportunity
to make their permanent homes.
Capital is now looking for in
vestment here ana soon a tide
of growth and development will
sweep over this part Of the west
and bury forever the things of
the past.
1t brings a sadness to the
hearts of the descendants of
proud chieftains of the once
powerful Indian nations, who
now live only in fading shadow.
History contains their glories
and the progress of the age is
engulfng them as it does all
things of past fame.
This tide of men and means
is beginning to flow in our di-
rection. and it is the duty Of
Vinita and her people to bring
to her gates these thousands Of
men and these millions of
money. If superior advantage
in opportunity to invest, if su-
perior advantage in location
and health shall be counted,
then all Vinita has to do is to
proclaim to the world what she
1 has. Once she stops the way
farer here he will stay.

acres of good agricultural lands,

ture, or the beautiful capital Of
a sovereign state.
Rev. Mr.. Washbourne re-
NAMED at Dwight until 1928
when he and his faithful mis-
sionary friends followed the
Cherokees further west and es-
tablished another missionary
station near the stream called
Sallisaw, to which he gave the
name Of New Dwight, Here
at this new missionary home,
Edward Pason Washbourne,
the artist of Arkansas Tray
elerp fame, was born on the
18th Of November, 1881. In
1850 his father moved to Fort
Smith, Arkansas, and became
pastor Of the Presbyterian
church at that place. Here in
1851 Edward, the artist, opened
a studio and began to paint.
He had evinced a talent at an
early age and without instruc-
ton, and guided by his genius
alone he began life as a self
taught artist. The portraits
and landscapes painted by him
in his boyhood are worthy the
brush Of many an older and
carefully trained artist. Many
of these early paintings are yet
to be seen in the old Wash
bourne home in Russellville,
Ark. These pictures evince, in
a very fattering and remarka-
BILE degree, artistic talent, and
were painted long before he
ever conceived idea Of "The
Arkansas Traveller"
From Ft. Smith Mr.. Wash
bourne went to New York and
studied under Elliott, the great
American painter. His work
during his brief stay there was
approved by eminent judges.
Edward Washbourne, like his
father, was a fine student with
a remarkably retentive MEM
ory. He loved the classic page
and could repeat page after
page of Virgil or a whole ora
ton from Cicero. In the fall
of 1853 while he and his brother
were on their way to try their
skill as fishermen, in the Hi
nois bayou, Edward remarked
that he believed he would paint
a picture and call it the car
kansas Traveller A few days
afterwards he canvassed a frame
and began to paint some char
acters Of the picture. One day
he and his brother visited their
fathers old home at Dwight to
look at the memorable spring
that once slaked the thirst of
that noble little missionary band
and in passing one of the old
mission houses they saw a
young girl holding a looking
glass in one hand, while with
the other she combed and
brushed a lovely suit of hair.
They both laughed at this, but
the incident made such an i'm
preston upon Edwards mind
that Immediately upon reaching
home he sketched the character
Of the girl holding the glass and
combing her hair, together with
the traveller himself, who was
Col. Faulkner. These charac-
ters are still retained in the
Autographs. There at Norris
town. Pope county, in ls5e
must be given as the place and
time at which the first concep-
ton entered the mind Of the
artist. Edward Washbourne, to
make and execute the remarSa-
bic and famous picture, "Fhe
Arkansas Traveller.
Mr.. Washbourne painted
three different views before he
became satisfied with his task !;
the third and final one was given
to the public and is now a fa-
miliar sight in most every south
ern home. The first two scenes,
