VINITA WILL BE FANG GUS
Development Will Bring Pros
perity Beyond Our Most
Sanguiue Expectations
to the City and
Country.

Some Of these days it is not to be
doubted Vinita will realize substan
tial pecuniary benefit from her near
by coal deposits. We have this i'm
portant staple in unknown quantities
just at our doors and Of a quality ma
king it available for all mechanical
uses. Not only may it be used sue
ceSsfully for all the usual purposes,
but If natural gas is not found at
some accessible point we can produce
gas very cheaply from our coal.
Heretofore in this connection we
have only reckoned on our Pawpaw
banks, but at Timber Hill the vein is
much thicker and the quality superb
or. Further, the vein crops out in
all directions and its boundaries are
simply unknown
Sam Coats, on the west side Of the
hil, is taking out coal constantly, and
If proper encouragement was offered
by the railroad an army of men could
be employed. As it is, the NJ. X. &
T., the road which could naturally
handle this coal TO best advantage,
makes the rate prohibitiye. IN fact,
a consignment from a bank above the
locality spoken Of was absolutely re-
fused transportationat at Welch. so it is
said
Why such a policy as this should be
pursued when the company has al
ways been short Of coal from the Nc
Alester fields, it is dimcult to under
stand
But one dag means Of transporta-
tion viii be found and Vinita will
then profit By her coal deposits, the
same as South McAlester does by
those surrounding her.
In the mean time, the work of pros
pecting and development can 90 on,
for the more coal we have to show the
easier and the sooner will railroad fa-
cilities, even to the building Of a road
to the banks, be secured.

AN ADDRESS TO
THE FAITHFUL
Democrats Urged to Activity
BY Mr.. SpauIding.

To the Democrats of Indian Territory:
/ have just returned from session
Of the democratic national committee
in Washington, d. c., at which all
sections of the United States were rep
resented 1t was determined there to
hold the next democratic national con-
yentiop for the nomination of presi-
dent and president in st. Louis,
Mo-, on July 6, 1904.
The meeting was harmonious and
enthusiastic, and reports from many
Of the usually doubtful states Indicated
widespread disaffection in the repub-
lican party and pointed a sweeping
democratic victory this year.
The Importance Of early, active or
ganization in every section Of the
United States was fully agreed upon.
If every democrat does his duty, sue
cess is assured.
| respectfully call to the attention
of every democrat in the Indian Ter
ritory the necessity for party organi-
zation. not only in the towns but in
every hamlet.
There are pending in congress sew
eral measures for statehood for the
Indian Territory, and whether any of
these measures will become law at
the present session is problematic, yet
il behooyes the democratic party to
be ready to safeguard with ballots the
interests Of the people.
Within few days | will be fur
nished with the necessary blanks for
the organization of democratic cam
paign clubs, and upon application will
be pleased to furnish these blanks to
every district in the Indian Territory.
Respectfully,
H. 3. SPAULDING,
Member Nstional Democratic Com
mittee.

FEARS AN AMERICAN PLOT.
European Statesmen Believes She
Has Designs on Trade.

Paris, Oct. 7.-Some European
statesmen are seriously Concerned for
the economic future OF Europe. Ger
tain among them. see, or fancy they
see, a deep-laid scheme on the part OF
the United States for absorbing the
commerce of Asia, and appear to think
the moment has arrived to issue seri-
ous note OF warning.
7 ,dav NJ. Melin, ex-prime minister
and leader OF the French Protectionists,
sounds an alarm in the Republique
Francaise in an article entitled "The
United States in Asia"
M. Melin says no mistake should be
made by Europe. He says it is in the
direction of the Far East America is
evidently turning its commercial am
bition. England, he says, will prefer
to throw itself into the arms of the
great American republic, which is
close to her and may render her service.
In conclusion M. Melin says:
Zone cannot refrain from rather
melancholy reflections on the CONNER
cial and economic future of old Europe
The more her industry increases that
much more her machinery improves,
and the more her warehouses are cram
med with goods, just so much the more
restricted and narrow her expansion
abroad becomes. She now finds herself
in the presence of a giant, who, with
mighty Japan, is taking away her GUS
tom. After having seized portion of
that of South America, the giant is
now prepar ng to deprive her of that of
the Yellow races, which is the most
important in the world. The issue
promises to leave to Eurpe the negroes
of the Soudan and the vast regions OF
Africa. but until that proves profitable
poor Europe will have time to etew in
her own juice.''

CLARK, INNOCENT PURCHASER.
Title Disputed to Land Grants AC
quired FraudulenfIy.

San Francicso, Oct. 1C.-The case OF
the United States against Senator Will
liam Clark, was argued today before
the cilcuit court of appeals. 1t came
before this bench on an appeal from
the circuit court for the district of
Montana.
The action is brought to annul 80
land grants under which Clark claims
title to timber lands ,ithin the state
of Montana, on the grou1 of alleged
frauds committed by the a entees in
securing the same.
1t is charged that the patent1 were
secured under the direction of RoEert
M Cobban, who later transferred the
land to Clark. Cobban ls alleged to
have fi1st examined the lands and then
hired persons to enter them under the
stone and timber act, agreeing to pay
them for their services, to defray all
their expenses and furnish the pur-
chase price of the lands.
The lower court held that, on such a
state of facts, Clark, the innocent pur-
chaser for valuable consider alton,
acquired valid title. The govern
ment took the matter on writ of err
ror to the circuit court of appeals.
