Vinita has grown from an Indian
trading post into handsome city. II
has wide streets every one OF them
curbed and ready for paving. the main
streets are paved. There are large
jobbing hcases here that are doing
big business. The stores and stocks
are good as you find in much larger
cities in the east. The Katy and the
Frisco railroads pass through the
town and give excellent service. The
town is supplied with water from ar
tesian wells. There is a sewerage
system, water works, electric light.
The natural gas furnishes very cheap
fuel, while coal that is mined seven
miles away can be purchased in the
city for less than three dollars a ton.
About a year ago the citizens of Vim
ita landed the state insane asylum
here and work commenced on the
buildings this week. The improve
ments will cost the state of Oklaho-
ma $1,250,000. A new railroad is
building out of the town westward
and everything looks promising for
city of considerable magnitude in the
near future. We received the kindest
treatment from those to whom we
went for information. There are many
Indiana people in business and of
course they were pleased to see a
and to talk about the old
home.
The people of Vinita are just like
the people of Indiana, nothing uncouth |
about them. They tell you that their

]. II. Johnston, manager for the Okla
homa Traffic association, issued a call
today for a conference of wholesalers
and railroad traffic managers of Ok
lahoma to meet in Oklahoma City

''The object of this conference" said
Johnston, is to bring about an agree
ment between the shippers and the
railroads whereby the latter will put
into effect in Oklahoma rates lower

to statehood and the advent Of the
corporation commission, though of
course, not as low as those ordered
in by the commission and enjoined by
the federal court.

sistent rumors that J. J. Jeffries, who
is bear hunting in the San Bernardino

were circulated in Los Angeles today.
According to the reports. the former
champion had fallen of wagon
while travelling along a rough noun

Inquiry in sporting circles and at
the home Of Jeffries failed to bring
any verifcation of the report and it
was set down by the big fellows

TRACE NAME TO THE FRENCH
Jonathan Carver Believed to Have
Derived Word "oregon" from
Early Explorers.

We believe It most probable that
the name Of Oregon arose out of some
circumstance connected with western
explorations under direction OF the
French. Earlier than the English, the
French had pressed on westward from
the Great Lakes to the Red river, to
the Saskatchewan and to the foot OF
the Rocky mountains They were ran
ging the country of the upper Mis-.
sissippi in search of furs and for
trade with the natives; they were
full of curiosity and active in i'm
quiry about the great distant west
and the unknown western sea. OF
this sea they possessed Spanish
charts and probably used among the
natives the word "Aragon" as a homo
nym Of Spain. When Jonathan Car
yer of Connecticut. was on his ex-
petition to the upper Mississippi
country, in 1767!6S, he made all pos
stble inquiries, he tells us. about the
country toward the west, the western
river and the sea and the word
"Oregyn," and the name was written
for the first time, so far as we know.
or possibly can ever know, in Car.
yer's book, published in London in
177S. 1t is book of little Importance
or value, except for the fact that 1t
gives to the world the name OF Ore
gon, which Carver says he got from
natives in the country of the upper
Mississippi Recent writer's have
shown that much of Carver's book is
made up of unacknowledged extracts
from French explorers before him,
from Hennepin, Labon-
tan and Charleyoix; and. as Carver
had no scholarship, it is believed the
book was compiled in London, partly
from Carver's own story and partly
from the records of French and Eng
lish exploration. 1t is significant, fur.
Lher. that in Carver's book tribes OF
Indians and various objects are often
designated by French names or terms.
