ANSWERS TO
INQUIRIES
What Your Friends at Home
Want to Know.

Vinita is situated near the center
of the Cherokee nation, being one OF
Tie five civilized tribes. The Chero-
kee Indians have been noted for many
years for their highly civilized and
Enlightened state. They are highly
: educated and talented people.
The land is a beautiful rolling prai-
rie with streams Of water at regular
intervals, and reasonable amount Of
timber, especially along the banks OF
the streams.
The land is good farming land, pro-
ducing corn, wheat, oats, cotton,
sweet and Irish potatoes, hemp, all
kinds of garden truck, water melons,
fruits and berries of all kinds. 1t Is
also adapted to the raising OF cattle,
hogs, sheep and fowls Of all kinds.
White settlers who have lived here
for number Of years claim that they
can earn more money on q rented
farm here than one owned in the
states.
In addition to the farming interests
there are vast fields Of coal. coal oil,
gas, iron, lead and zinc.
The health of the country IS unsur-
passed in any part Of the United
states and the city is supplied with
the finest OF pure, sparkling artesian
water, which is regarded by many as
being the "EIixer of Life and IS, in
fact, good for many diseases, such as
stomach and kidney troubles, rheum-
atism, neuralgia and for general de-
bility.
The title to all town or city prop
erty Is transferable just as IL is in the
state. and In this city there are great
opportunities, as the property has not
yet reached the ''hi h water mark
as Il has In some OF the territory
cities, and you may invest with the
assurance that you will not only re-
eeiye good dividends from your rental
property, but that you will have plen-
IN Of opportunities 40 sell AZ a profit
should you wish TO do 80.
VinIta has two main lines of rail-
roads, the Frisco running east and
west and the Missouri, Kansas & Fexss
running north and south, and also a
new road soon to be built 70 the north
vest, tapping the great coal fields

ID on the list as great coal center
vinlta has population OF $500, ine
churches, excellent public school sys-
TEN, .se and electric light plant ard
an ss5, 900 waterworks system, furnish-
ing millions OF gallons water from ar
tesian wells. Both residence and busi-
ness houses are being built, and the
town has every appearance OF becom-
ing a city Of 10000 people within the
next few years. Society Is good and
ladies' need not fear that they will find
here no congenial associates, as the
"ladies' social gatherings will COM
pare fayorably with those OF much

The first warranty deed ever passed
on property in this city was about two
yefrs ago. Since then hundreds have
passed from one to another, marking
profits az each transfer.
There are manyacres OF undeyeloped
ands for sale at a reasonable price,
and many improved farms for rent or

NEW SMACK
OCCURRED
Another HOne-BuiIt Fishing YES
sci is Completed Native
Timber Used EXCIu-
SiVeIy.

The new fishing schooner which has
been under construction at the Marine
railway for some time, was launched
yesterday, and will probably be towed
over to the city about Friday.
The vessel, which has not yet been
named. was constructed for E. f.
Saunders & Co.. and will be a big adj
dition to that company's large fleet.
The schooner is built entirely of nd
tive timbers and the work done by
home men. The building OF the YES
sci was under the supervision of Chas.
Brown, who personally superintendent
the work, and who says that the new
smack will be one Of the prettiest as
well as the fastest plying in and out
of Pensacola. She is rs feet in length.
19-foOt beam, and feet, 6 inches
depth of hold. She is built along the
lines of the Ruth A Welles, which
was also constructed there, although
somewhat smaller than the latter yes
sci.
This is the third vessel to be built
by this firm at the railway during
the past two years, and all have given
perfect satisfaction In fact the firm
states that vessels built in Pensacola
are fully forty per cent better than
those constructed in the east.

BE a Beaver" as appearing in
these columns and in the streets has
aroused so much curiosity that the
paramount question seems to be
What is a Beaver? Messrs. w. H
FruitlicheT and ]. s. c. Carpenter, the
organizers of the order, have volun'
teered the following information:
The Beavers is a social, fraterIal
and benevolent association. 1t is the
first association of the kind to Origi-
nate in the South, having been launch
day of March, 1904. The growth of
the order has been unprecedented as
it has been introduced into eight
states and has an enrolled member
ship of more than ten thousand.
Being strictly a social order only
the best citizenship is solicited toT
membership. One hundred applica-
lions for membership are required to
secure a charter.
The organizers have an immense
scrap book filed with clippings from
the newspapers of Jacksonville, Tampa
and other progressive towns of the
state where these gentlemen have in
stituted Dams and if press comments
are any index they have gathered to-
gether the best personnel in the towns
they have visited and "dammeu up
the goods to the unqualified satisfac-
tiOn of everybody concerned.
They have looked over the situation
here and have decided that the out.
look presages a good substantial Dam.
They will at once begin gathering
"twigs" and mud" with a view to
laying the foundation for a Dam in
this city.
