vERmIN INFESTED DEPOTs.
Protest Received From One Com-
PEELED to Use Waiting Ro0mn.

Editor Chieftain:-The vermin-in-
tested shacks used by the Frisco and
Katy railroads at this place for the
accommodation Of passengers are a
disgrace to civilization and the Five
Civilized Tribes.
This statement will, do doubt, bring
out the usual admonition OF the local
pass holder that these railroads must
not be antagonized, for "they will
hurt the town" These railroad COM
panies do not stop their ltrains at
Vinita because they desire to assist in
building up the town, or for the
health Of the community. They are
after the dollars that the business Of
Vinita will bring to them and nothing
else. They do not care whether men,
women and children have to sit in a
vermin-infected shack or In cattle and
hog yards waiting for trains, SO long
as they get their three cents per mile
railroad fare.
The treatment the people of Vinita
receive from these corporations in this
particular alone is disgraceful. 1t can
be amended If those In authority
thought more Of the interests of the
people who gives them their Official
positions and less about "antagonfzing
the railroads"
Both depots, for yermin and vermin
breeders, should be declared a nui-
sance and a menace to the public
health and removed by the city au-
thorities
The fair name of Vinita and its
future welfare demands drastic action.
