George w. Graham Of Ok
IahOma Western will Be
Here This Week.

j. w. Orr, Of the railroad commit
tee of the Commercial club, yesterday
received a letter from George w.
Graham, vice president of the Okla
homa Western railroad. Mr.. Graham
has been IN New York financing his
proposition, and writes Mr.. Orr that
everything is in excellent shape, and
that he will soon be able to talk bust
ness. He will be here, in fact, the
latter part of this week to look over
the question of terminal facilities.
Mr.. Graham and his associates plan
a road from either Joplin or Vinita to
Alva, Okla. 1t would cross a great
number Of north and south trunk
lines, and, trayersing a very rich
country, would do great deal of bus
mess. 1t is important that the east
ern terminus be place where con-
nection is made with as large a num-
Der Of trunk lines as possible. Vini-
ia would, therefore, seem to offer bet
ter possibilities than Joplin. The
latter place has more roads, but Jop-
Inns railroad facilities are not as
good as Vinita's, for this town, with
the two great trunk lines Of eastern
Oklahoma, has better connections to
the north, south and east than any
other town.
Mr.. Graham suggests that the
railroad committee of the Commercial
club get busy at once and see how
much can be raised as bonus, for he

Good Progress Being Made on
the vinita Auditorium
Project

Al informal meeting Of the direct
ors OF the Auditorium company was
held Saturday. A meeting will be
held some time this week at which
the directors will decide finally
whether to let the contract to one
man or to do the work under a build
ing committee, letting out sub-con-
tracts for the various kinds Of work.
This morning, counting the bonus,
$4,000 Of the capital has been sub
scribed for, which leaves only $500
to be raised as it is almost certain
now thai the building will not cost
above $4,000 IL is expected that BY
tonight this sum viii all have been
raised.
1t is the understanding now that
all the lessees on the Frisco right Of
way have agreed to move of, and that
there will be no delays occasioned by
court proceedings. The work Of NOV
ing, it is said, will be commenced in a
few days.

ter by saying "Work will begin With
in ninety days, and trust that Vini-
ia will be the starting point"
But Mr. Grrham does not monopo-
lie the attention Of the railroad COM
mittee. Mr. Gillespie, who repre-
sents New York syndicate, came in
this morning from the east. MIR. Gill
lespie is figuring on road from Fay
etteville, Ark, northwest through
the Spayinaw country to a point be-
yond Bartlesyille. Such a road could
hardly fail to miss Vinita, and indeed
it is the purpose of Mr.. Gillespie to
build it through this place. In COM
pauy with l.. w. Marks he drove out
Of Vinita this morning to the south
east, for the purpose Of looking at the
country in the direction from which
the road must come. He VIII be out

Just at present Mr. Gillespie IS

Of the country through the road is to

lish the ninth grade at present without
employing an additional teacher. AS
soon as he resovers, however, ninth
grade can be established without in
creasing the teaching force whatever
from what 1t Is now. The only argu-
ment that has ever been raised against
a high school, except by those old
hardshells Iwho are opposed to every
thing in the way of higher education,
is that the city cannot stand the ex-
pense.
Now, II ninth grade can be added
at once, and II the nine grades can be
conducted with no greater expense
than would be required for eight
grades, how, citizens are asking, is the
school board going to delay action
longer? What further excuse can they
have? Yet, knowing that Davis Hill
is on the board, and chat his influence
controls with most Of the members, it
is pretty safe to guess that some addi-
tional excuse will be found, that no
ninth grade Will be established this
year. and that high school will be
impossible as long as he remains on
the board. Fortunately, his term ex-
pires In December.
Nine pupils applied tc Miss Wright
this morning for admission to ninth
and were turned away These
nine applied in spite OF the fact shat
itGwas wen known That no ninth grade
would be opened today.

The conception of the Venus of Milo
as the Divine Mother came to Miss Del
Mar in an odd way. One day while
she was studying in Paris she went to
the Louvre to see the Venus of Milo
in the hall of the Caryatides. Many a
time before she had been to gaze upon
the peerless statue and had sketched it
frequently. This day. however, she
approached it from the room on thel

the Venus room In this other room,
as she passed through, she observed
the mutilated remains of a female
statue, and upon its left shoulder att

Miss Del Mar declares the pose Of
the so called Venus shows that she
must have been holding a somewhat
heavy weight upon her left arm and
supporting it by her shoulder when
she had her picture taken. No human
figure would assume such a posture
unless it supported weight. Miss
Del Mar has made a painting, heroic

statue, with child in its arms, hold
ing the infant in the manner described.
She says that in securing women
models to stand for her in this attitude
she had not the slightest difficulty in
placing them, as they naturally fell in
to the pose of their own accord while
holding a child upon the left arm and
against the left shoulder. AS a matter
of fact, a mother always holds her
child with her left arm, that she may
have the right hand free to do some
thing else.
It will be observed that, as Miss Del
Mar has restored the statue in her
painting, it resembles a picture of the
Madonna and Holy Child, even to the
nirnbus around the head of each. This
is precisely the artists idea. The Di-
vine Mother and Holy Child are a con-
ception evolved by paganism ages be

the Christian church adopted the ten

symbols of the new faith. The nim-
