sEsT WORKERS ARE sPANIARDs.
Their Wonderful Capacity for Hard
Labor on Slim Diet

A present-day globe-trotter said to
New York Press writer: 4 should
like to recommend the employment OF
Spaniards to dig the Panama canal
The rest OF the world does not seem
to realize the wonderful capacity for
work possessed by the Andalusians.
Why, l have seen in the castle OF Solo
mon copper mine men doing the
hardest sort of labor for full IL hours
day and knock off as happy as a
lark. ready for a fight or frolic,
ready to go mad at the distant tinkle
of a guitar, ready to beat their hands
sore keeping staccato time to the
Cadiz cachuca.
And what has his ration consisted
Of? A piece of bread dipped in a
cows horn of oil and another of
vinegar, spiced up with hot green pep
per, garlic and salt In summer his
food consists of section of pink
melon.
How many million pounds Of meat
have been shipped to Panama since
the digging began? The Andalusian
knows not the hunger for meat. He is
never ill The doctors at the isthmus
have their hands full all the time try
ing to cure disease directly due to
meat.
Here is a common Spaniard who
could pull bull down by the horns,
drive his knife through three-inch
plank, nourishing his 'robur and
stamina on slice of melon brought
from that moist province where the
knocking proverb says, The trees are
grass, the earth water, the men wom-
en- and the women--nothing.
Yesterday ] witnessed in one Of
your semi-fashionable resorts a New
Yorker double up and pack on his fork
for one calm mouthful about four
cubic inches of red roast beef It was
not pleasant sight compared the
mans food capacity with that OF peo
pie who had achieved.
'.The Arab on his rice diet sscourged
the shrinking world. The Roman sol
der on his sour wine and vinegar
bread mapped out Europe with his
roads. One Of our great generals,
Francis Marion, the swamp fox, kept
his forces in perfect physical condi-
ton by daily sip of vinegar. Oil
stands for the most ethereal fat you
can feed the stomach fame with and
vinegar for the destroyer Of thirst and
purifier Of the blood"

tee from the club asking for an appropria-
tion Of $500 year. beginning with 1908,

most beneficial the club has ever held. and
there was an appearance Of earnestness
that BODIES well for the New Ninita- Never
before has there been such confidence in
the future of Vinita shown, and this con

bound to extend out to others. Especially
is such confidence liable to take hold Of

ago the club was in weak condition.
Today il is stronger in membership and
earnestness of purpose than ever before.

Of State Chairman W. j. Conner Of New
York that Bryan would carry that state
the sending out from Chicago Of num-
Der Of speakers to various sections Of the

Bryan arare opportunity to continue work

At the regular weekly meeting Of the
Commercial Club last night plans were
formulated for the construction of a
twelve inch Independent gas main from
the gas fields to this city for the purpose
of supplying cheap fuel to whatever
factories or mills that may be located in
this city. The suggestion of this PROPOSE
ton was made to the club by C. B.Rogers
and the other members Of the club caught
his enthusiasm, and it was decided to
appoint a committee Of seven to put the
proposition in tangible form and begin
the work Of providing ways and means
for constructing the pipe line. NearlyeVeEy
man present believes this the biggest
thing for Vinita the Commercial Club,
has ever undertaken. and from the
remarks of several after the club adj
journed there will be little trouble
of financing the scheme. One responsible
man of the city made known his willing
ness to take $4,000 worth OF stock in uhe
scheme. 1t was the sense of the club
tnat this work should not be delayed or
postponed and it is more than LIKELY that
actual work on the line may be oounmenc-
ed before September.
The club was overrun with cauespon-
dence from all parts of the country in
regard TO Vinita and this correspondence
was referred to the various committees
under which 1t would be proper for such
correspondence to fall.
President Coley offered the suggestion
that a sign be placed on the state line
between Oklahoma and Kansas, where
the Katy railroad crosses the line, with
the inscription Thirty miles to Xinita,
on it. AS every passenger on the trains
are always watching to see when they
cross the line, it is believed this viii be a
good advertisement for Vinita.
1t is decided by the club upon the
susgestion of Judge Parker that some
day next month be set aside for badge
day, and upon that day every member
the club shall wear a badge bearing the
inscription i am ohe of the ESQ, are
you? If not, why mott By this means the
club expects to greatly increase its
membership, and to designate those, who
have aligned themselves with the pro-
gressive element of the city. and to spot
those who are opposing Yinita's advance
ment.
A resolution of gratitude to Judge
Parker for his efforts in behalf of the All
ditorium and park was introduced by C.
B. Rogers, and with an amendment by w.
E. Clapham that the park near the Audi
torium be called Parker Plaza. the club
unanimously adopted the resolution Judge
Parker was present and in a brief but
enthusiastic speeched responded in ac-
acknowledgements of the honor conferred
upon him, saying that there were others
in the city to whom Vinita was more in
debted than to him for the completion Of
this monument to the enterprise Of the
city In his speech Judge Parker also
made number of valuable suggestions
far the advancement Of Vinita.
The matter Of the natatorium was taken
up and the plan of selling books Of 25
tickets for SIS was heartily endorsed and
committee Of three was appointed to
raise the funds for opening Vinita's
greatest natural attraction

CLARKE GRIFFITH
TO MANAGE C|NC|
IN OLD NATIONAL.
Former Yankee Leader to Re-
turn to His First Love,
Succeeding CAMEL.

Clarke Griffith, recently manager of
the New York American League team.
former manager of the Chicago team
of the same league, and one time star
pitcher of the Chicago National Leagui
team, is to return to his first love in
baseball and become a National
Lacquer again. He has signed a con-
tract to manage the Cincinnati Reds
next season, and will succeed John
Camel as the leader of the Queen City
aggregation. Official announcement CT
the signing of Griffith as head of the
Reds has not yet been made, but the
information is authentic.
The signing of Griffith comes as a
surprise to most of the baseball fans
of the country, as he was considered
such an ardent American Lacquer that
lie would never do for the National
League again. The rivalry between che
two big leagues has diminished greatly
Ia the last two or three years, and the
feeling thai now exists between the
players and managers of the two or
CARNATIONS is nearly as cordial as that
between the members of the same
league.
