PROPOSITION is BEING coNsID-
Erred BY COMMITTEE.
-FOUR TOWNS NOW IN LINE
Would Traverse Rich Belt And Could
Be Built at Comparatively a
Small Cost.

The railroad committee of the Com
mercial Club, composed of L. F. Parker
chairman, M. F. knight, L. w. Buffing
ton and Oliver Bagby, is today consid
ering the proposition, made to the club
to build an east and west railroad from
here to Enid.
The promoters ask bonus OF $780,.
600 to be paid when the road is com
pleted across Craig county. They now
make second proposition to construct
the road to this city, if the city will
donate them small cash bonus, in
stead Of the $4,000. They agree to
build the road If Vinita will agree to
either of these propositions. The com
mittee viii consult with the citizens
of the town and will take action in
the matter Immediately.
Pawhuska, Nowata and Enid. it is
said on good authority have already
closed contracts with the company
for the construction of the road into
those towns, and it now behooves Vim
ita to get busy.
The proposed road will tap twelve
north and south lines and will pass
through the rich oil and gas belt of
the Usage nation, and will prove one
of the greatest feeders ever built in
the southwest, although but LAG miles
in length.
The road except in the rough Os-
age country, traverses through a part
OIL the state over which a railroad can
be built without great expense, and
railroad men have long agreed that
such road would someday be built
this section from east to west.
Most of the surveys, of the past have
gone to the north of this city, but this
one comes right TO Viaita's door and
this city should not fail to accept it
If it proves fair.

MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF!
AUDITORIUM COMPANY.
RENTALS WILL PAY BONDS
Deposit 5000 to Insure Building of
Eating House at Junction Of
Two Railroads.

At meeting Of the stockholders ol
the Auditorium company, held this
morning, business of great Importance
to the city of Vinita was transacted
IN view of the dangerous prospect OF
the city losing the Frisco eating house
the stockholders of this company again
showed their liberality to the city,
by authorizing the deposit of $4,000
in the First National bank, to be paid
to the st. Louis and San Francisco
Railway company, upon the completion
of $4,000 eating house at the juno
ton of the Frisco and Katy roads in
this city.
At the same time the Auditorium
company authorized the purchase for
$2S,000 of the bond issue for the pur-
chase of the Auditorium by the city.
In order to do this it was necessary
for the company to borrow the money
with which to pay the city,
The deeds are now in the First Ma
tional bank, and thus the city acquires
the title to block of ground easily
worth $4,000 and to a building worth
equally as much. In the Auditorium
building, the city will have adequate
quarters for it's Offices and with
few improvements, will have a build
ing, the rental from which will gro
vide fund sufficient to pay the in
terest on the bonds and create a sink
ing fund that will pay Off the bonds
on maturity. Thus the citizens of Vim
ita will have acquired this tract Of
land and building, without its having
cost the taxpayers a dollar.
The donation of $4,000, by the twen-
ty citizens to insure the construction
of an eating house here is an act that
will and should meet with the ap-
proval of all Vinita. This is the spirit
that builds cities.

ganization of the government OF the
Panama Canal Zone again. 1t is be-
lieved this measure will be disposed

way the house will attack the appro-
priation bills.
The army supply bill is already on
the calendar and by the time it is
passed the Notifications bill will be
ready for consideration. Following
the Notifications measure will come
the urgent deficiency, the agricultural
and the navy bills. Even the sundry
civil and the Legislative bills are well
blocked out in committee. Appropria-
tion legislation is further advanced in
the house than ordinarily at this sea-

The senate committee on appropria-
tions soon will begin the consideration
of the bill making appropriations for

Earner and Farmer.

In these days of the strike and the lock-
out comparison in American life in
workshop and on the farm is forciblv
brought to mind-the constantly growing
difference between the station of the
wage Garner and Of the farmer. A com
mon blood parentage makes them BROTH
ers, but the nature Of employment and
the resulting life tend to push them apart.
The labor union is. to certain extent,
dignifying labor and workmanship, vet to
secure recognition for the benefit Of IFS
members it subjects their individuality TO
degree Of control undreamed of before.
On the other hand the growing indepen-
dence of the farmer is noted, his we'll
filed granaries and barns have become a
proverb, while his financial stability IS
unmatched.
When our republic began its career the

Extravagance, Public and Private

In his address at St Paul before the
Minnesota Conservation Congress lanes
l. Hill pointed out that the net ordinary
expenses of the Federal Government be
tween 1890 and 1908 had increased over
I2I per cent. and the expenditures OF
thirty States between 1890 and 1909 over
2oI per cent. Extravaganza had become
a national trait.
This warning against lavish expenditure
is timely. 1t calls for serious thought.
1t is directed equally to the nation and to
the individual
No notion is more fallacious than that
a rich people has no occasion to bother
about the expenditures OF a few millions
more or less every year An extravagant
government begets an eXtravagant people.
Government extravaganza increases all
down the line. Some one must pay for
it, and in the end it is bound to bear
heaviest on those who have least to spare.
The theory that the Government pos
sesses inexhaustible' wealth because it can
always borrow or raise more taxes is in
toxicating to certain minds But where
the Government wastes resources or puts
them TO Improbable uses II only makes
it necessary that the individual producer
shall part with that much more from his
private purse. Some one always pays
every dollar fritted away at Washington.
If once this fact were firmly planted in
the mind Of the pFbple, as are the ordin-
AIRY facts Of their daily knowledge, they
would exhibit less tolerance of such clap
trap as that billion-dollar session o
Congress is imperative because this is q
billion country.

One of the sweetest things a girl can do
is to receive friends graciously, particu-
larlv at home. In ones own house cor
dial manner is peculiarly fitting. Do not
stand off in the middle of the room and
bow coldly and formally to the friend who
has called. Walk over to meet her give
her your hand, and say pleasantly that
YOU are very glad to see her again. Stiff,
cold and formal ways of greeting acquain-
tances are not proper in girl welcoming
guests to her father S house. A daughters
part is to assist her mother on every So
cial occasion. The girl pours the tea in
her mothers drawing when friends
drop in at five O'Clock. Quite often, when
no maid is present, she helps the guests
to sandwiches and cakes which are served
at a FIVE O'Clock tea, and herself hands
the cups and takes them from the guest
who would like to.be relieved.
Apart from and more important even
than her manner to guest who happens
in for an hour or a day, is the manner OF
a daughter to her father and mother.
The fathers returns to his home after a
weary day at business. He is tired in
body and mind. Coming back, as his
latch-key turns in the home door he
tkvows off care; he is Joyous at the
thoIght Of the dear ones he will meet
after hours of absence. His young daugh.
ter, in pretty gown, with the bloom and
freshness only girlhood wears, should be
ready to give him the attention he love:
| the kiss, the CHEEKY word-to help hel
mother and the rest in letting her fathel
