UNITE IN ENTERING INTO PLAN FOR
USING UNION STATION.

trt 4sI4'-
mistrustfuI n Very effort to advance
the city's interest, like balky horse
always pulling back when the other
fellows pulled forward. The doctor
in great earnestness delivered tell
ing rebuke to what he termed either
inactivity or underlined opposition to
one OF the best measures ever offered
the city He said that Chickasha had
outgrown the experiment period, that
it was rapidly developing into city
and it did not want railroad track
running up every important street in
order to reach some little station
thrust into the midst of populous
section by the inactive tolerence Of
people who should have the best inter
ests OF the city at heart. He enum-
Grated the many advantages to the
city in having union depot as well
as to rebuke those who did not vote
for the measure.
Col. T. j. O'Neill also spoke earnest
" in favor OF the union depot proposi-
tlon in which he urged everyone pres
ent to not only vote for the PROPOSE
ton zut to personally lend his aid to
the furtherance of the proposition.
On motion OF D. Fl. Sigmon of the
Sigmon Furniture Manufacturing Com
pany, the chairman appointed a com
mittee of ten to confer with the three
roads-the Rock Island, Frisco and
Oklahoma Central--with view to get
ting them to agree on the plan of a

As further assurance that Chiclsasaa
can have union depot ii it is desired.
Superintendent J W. Robbins stated
at the mass meeting yesterday after
noon, when asked whether he though.
the Frisco could be indaced to accept
Union lepos proposition. that Mr..
WinchelI. formerly one Of the ac:ivc
neads when the Rock Island ami Frs
CO were working under one manage
ment, favored the plan as now copi.n-
Hated by he Rock Island, of building
here splendid depot in recognition
OF the great volume Of business Chick
asha affords. also that had not the
roads dissolved Il was Mr.. Winchell's
expressed plan to have tho Frisco at
no distant date use this proposed pas
senger depot in common with the Rock
Island. and he believed that Mr. Win
chell would yet entertain the same In
tcrest in Chickasha and that no doubt
he would be willing to do what he
can consistently for the interests OF
the town.
Another feature of especial interest
which Superintendent Robbins explain
ed was that II the roads can be got
together at all on the proposition TO
build union depot. the preliminaries
essential to such cooperation ought
not to materially delay the beginning
OF active work on the building; this
was in answer 10 question as to
whether If Chickasha insisted on a
union depot this might not delay the
matter of getting any depot indefinite
w. Mr.. Robbins stated that while
their present plan contemplated the
beginning of work sooner on the de-
pot than they might be able to do If
union depot is to be bulk. he
thought that within ninety days they
ought to be ready to begin work on a
union depot If the roads can get to-
gether on the proposition at all.
A singular feature Of the meeting
yesterday afternoon and one which
seemed to puzzle not only Superin-
tendent Robbins, who had brought
such kindly assurance from the Rock
Island management that they indiyid-
ually preferred to give Chickasha a
union depot II the people wanted it,
but also Mayor Edwards, who pre-
sided at the meeting. and many others
who chanced to be present
was the refusal or some property own
ers here to move from their seats
when a motion calling for all those
who favored union depot for Chick
asa to sand up. Immediately after
this incident Dr. Dawson, speaking
earnestly In behalf Of a union Gepot,
said that it was no wonder that Chick
asha could not always get what she
wanted for the reason that there were
always some people here, seemingly

In speaking Of the need Of beginning
early II the building is to be ready for
use next fall, Superintendent Wilson
said today that the proposed building
is larger and consequently win involve
more work than the new city high

commenced early last spring and was
barely ready for the fall opening Of
