The shock was distinctly felt over the
city many buildings in the business dis

west portion Of the city nearer the oil
field, houses were shaken so violently that
the walls were cracked. floors and even
the lighter foundations twisted and dishes
thrown from the shelves. Women and
children ran screaming and shrieking into
the streets, many eryine that an earth
quake had come
Many distorted rumors quickly flew tu
an corners Of the city Reports that five
men had been killed by an explosion Of a
load Of nitro glycerin, with which the men
were preparing to shoot a well, were rife
on all sides. Other rumors said that the
Midland Valley railroad shops had blown
up.
The twelve empty cans were exploded
that men or teams might not stumble upon
them. They were ienited by a fuse The
shock was felt throughout the oil field but
not so violently as in the city
Today a great rent in the earth over
thirty feet in diameter is a silent witness
to the great force Of the explosion. The
cans. which are termed as empty con-
tain only what explosive clings to the
sides after they have been emptied. Ac-
cording TO oil men there could not have
been over two quarts Of niuo-glycerin IN

Bank Journal viii Give yinita
Unique Distinction and Widely
Advertise the City.

In all probability Vinita will have the
unique distinction Of being the home Of
the first publication ever issued devoted
to the bank deposit guarantee law Messrs
Malone and Barrows for years publishers
and newspaper brokers, are in our city
and have agreed to publish iirst-class
bankers magazine devoted TO the new
guarantee deposit banking law and the
business interests of Oklahoma, provided
the Commercial Club or the citizens Of the
city will guarantee them list Of 500
subscribers with which to start the publi-
cation.
The Chieftain believes this magazine
will do more to advertise Vinita TO the
world than any other agency. II will be
read in every state in the Union by bank
ers. monied men and politicians who
wish to know more about the Oklahoma
banking law We predict great circula-
ton for the magazine and hope to see
Vinita secure the enterprise. Not only
state bankers in other states will be in
terested in the magazine, but national
bankers also will want to know how the
new law is working in the state Of Okla
homa.
We understand that Messrs Malone &
Barrows have agreed to give the city in
(which they publish the Bank Journal" a
half page advertisement free of cost for
one year. OF course Vinita wants the
distinction of being the home Of the only
journal Of this kind in the United States.
1t will be an advertisement worth while.

has met and gone thoroughly over the
proposition and win report favorably on

his annual report which will be issued in

statement Of the condition Of each state
bank at the close Of business September
%. Commissioner Smock will not discuss
the merits or defects Of the guaranty
banking law beyond a brief reference to
the difficulties of the commissioner in
regulating the number Of banks in each
town. The guaranty law ostensibly makes
one bank as safe and sound as any other.
thereby permitting a new bank instantly
to enjoy all that older banks, by care and
economy. have acquired Commissioner
Smock has taken the position that even
though deposits In all state banks are
insured by the guaranty law, The number
Of banks in town should be limited to
the amount Of business in the community
For that reason in certain instances he
has refused TO issue certificates authoriz-

OKLAHOMA WANTS
| 7 CONGRESSMEN
Davenport Will Introduce Bill for
Reapportionment According to
States Just Population.

Guthrie, okla, Nov ia movement
hmone Oklahoma democrats to secure the
removal Of the federalrestriction prohibit
ing the reforming congressional districts
of the state before 1910 has been launched
hnd Congressman James S. Davenport
who will hold his seat in congress from
hhe Third district until March will imme-
diately on the opening Of congress intro
.duce bill to amend the enabling act,
removing this restriction
a, The bill will provide for seven congress-
T2len from Oklahoma instead Of five, upon
1.-The claim that the federal census of Okla
home which gives tie state more than
100000 people, shows that the state is
entitled to seven congressman. Congress-
man Davenport will try to get the bill
through in time for the Legislature, which
meets here in January TO redisrict the
state.
The recent election. in which the repub-
licans elected three Of the five congress-
men from Oklahoma. has alarmed the
democrats and convinced them that when
4 congress districted the state itmade three
I congressional districts that are normally
Z republican. The three districts that elect
I ed republicans this time lie in bulk in the
central and northern parts Of the state.
7 The south end Of the state, where the
+ other two congressional districts were laid
out, is overwhelmingly democratic, almost
as much so as Texas, While Congressman
Davenports proposed bin would not con-
I tain anything Of the kind II il went
through in time TO permit the coming ses-
sion Of the legislature to take action there
is no doubt that the seven districts could
be formed so that six Of them, and prob
ably all Of them, would be normally demo.
cratic by good maiorities.
\ The adding Of two congressman to Okla
homa would give the state nine votes il
