Editor Of The Chieftain:

This condition OF affairs brings good
sidewalks, nice brick blocks, capital

The conditions above including pro-
per advertising, are necessary to the
making OF good town; more SO
than natural adva ntages and greater

tions in Vinita regarding our Com
merciaJ club and city council which
are composed of onr best business and
professional men, are not as satisfact'
ory as they ought to be. Some OF Ihe
members of these organizations are
owners OF property that has no side
walks and Of business property which
. unsanitary and unsafe in every res

to disgrace our city with such dilapi-

Threatening.
Everything is in readiness for the
arrival Of the special train bearing the
Twice president tonight at 7:25. Yes
terday evening not a single business
house was decorated, but this morn
ing flags and bunting were flying from
all windows and above all doors, in
spite of the imminence of rain. The

Rate Clerks in Demand.

One result of the new Hepburn rate
law has been to greatly increase the
demand for railroad clerks. The re-
vision of the tariffs and the prepara-
ton OF new ones made necessary by
the law, has created an immense
amount of extra work in the general
offices of the railroads, with the result
that the old forces are quite made
ouate to perform the extra work re-
ouired Of them. Nearly every road
