VISIONS Of EARLY
SPRING VANISH
Third Snow Storm Within Week Puts
Memories of Old Timers to
Route-Growing Worse.

Our unprecedented winter" is be-
coming more unprecedented. The in
dications are now that even the most
bitter cold winters within the MEM
ory of the oldest resident-even that
awful season of 1880, to which the
old timers are won't to refer when
ever old Boreas frowns upon us, will
be eclipsed as the longest winter on
record. Three severe snow storms
accompanied by zero weather, within
a week was unheard of before in Ok
lahoma's "balmy climate" of which
we have been wont to boast.
Yesterday just'as Vinitans were be-
ginning to recover from the shock of
the two preceding storms, and again
to see visions of early gardens, fish
ing excursions, Easter bonnets and
spring violets, the old weather man
again played us a dirty trick. The
wind whipped around to the north
and even before nightfall freezing
weather was upon US. The cold wind
increased in fury as the night wore
on and this morning Vinita awoke
to find one of the rawest days of her
history. Early in the forenoon a fine
snow, driven by a cutting wind en-
veloped the town in a maze of white.
While the snow storm is not as
severe as that of last Wednesday, 1t

enough, and will welcome the coming

Rumor that Road Would Enter City BY Way O.
Flint Avenue is Unfounded-- Cause of demand
for Return of Note Removed - Change in
Original Plans of Usage Western Road
Will Be Extended on to Timber Lands
East Of Grand RiUer = Era of Re-
markable Growth Anticipated.

That the Usage Western railroad
will be built into Vinita bcame an as
sured fact yesterday afternoon at the
meeting held at the Commercial
Club rooms between Clarence Walters
vice president, of the proposed road
and the railroad committee of the
Commercial Club. Mr.. Walters agreed
to the counter proposition of the CON
mittee offering him $4,000 to build
the road into this city, and the COM
mittee agreed to secure that amount
for him.
In agreeing to the terms of the new
contract Mr.. Walters said that he did
so because his company was tired Of
delay, and wanted to get to work on
the line. They will now begin con-
demnation proceedings for the right
of-way and expect to have construc-
ton work under way in the early
spring.
In regard to the report that the
new road would enter the city by way
of Flint avenue, that caused so much
disturbance and caused one of the
heaviest subscribers to ask for the
return Of his note, Mr. Walters said
there was no cause for alarm as no
new line would be built along Flint
avenue. If the engineers do finally
decide to come into town by that
route it is probable that the Usage
Western will use the Frisco tracks
into town from just west of the city
limits. However, it is not likely that
even this route will be adopted, but
it is probable that the new road will
erect a depot and yards of it's own
in the south part of town. The en-
gineers are also considering plan
of entering the city from the north or
rather through the extreme north
portion of the city.
The Commercial Club will enter
into contract with Mr.. Walters
guaranteeing him the amount of the
bonus, when the Usage Western is
completed according to the terms OF
the contract. Thus the notes for the
bonus will be collected by the banks
of Vinita as the agents of the guaran-
tors, and the railroad company will
have nothing to do with the notes.
A new feature Of the Usage West
ern was developed at the meeting yes
terday, and that was the intention OF
the company to extend the line on In
to the timber regions east of Grand
river, instead of stopping here as was
intended. This gives color to rumor

Gas Pressure Too Law.

The weather and the lack of suffi-
cient quantity of gas caused an I'M
avoidable condition in the Chieftain
Office today. The gas pressure was SO
low that it was impossible to keep the
metal in the linotype hot enough to
mold the slugs and consequently put
the composing department up against
it." The machine worked only por-
tion of the time, and the days news is
somewhat scant as a result.

circulated that the Usage Western is
in reality the beginning of one of the
greatest trunk lines in the west, ex-
tending from Denver, Colo, to Mem
phis, Tenn, tapping the mo Mans
Land" in the northwestern part OF
this state, which is now untraversed
by railroads.
The news that Mr.. Walters had ac-
cepted the proffered bonus was receiv-
ed with much joy in Vinita, and will
mean the beginning of an era of un-
precedented growth in this city.
