North Carolina, conveyed by her sis

will be gone about twelve days. The
North Carolina and Montana can make
the journey in each direction in four
days. This will give President Taft
about four days on the Isthmus.
The president had practically given
Iup all idea of visiting the canal this
year, until Colonel George w. Goeth-
ais, chief engineer of the canal visited
him yesterday afternoon. At the end
of the visit the president had been
Convinced that the problems confront.
ing the officials at Panama require his
Ipresence on the Isthmus.
Some of the problems to be dealt
within the immediate future are as
follows
Extent and character of the forti-
fications; The fixing of the tolls; the
proposed increase in wages; the fn-
ture management of the Panama rail-
road; the form of permanent govern
ment for the canal zone and the regu-
lation of the sale of coal.
The government may go into the
business of selling coal itself in order
to prevent the possibility Of extortion
or monopoly President Taft thought
that several of the questions would
not require settlement for a year or
more but Goethals put the matter in
different light. The question of tolls
which it was thought could wait until
the canal was much nearer compile
tion, was explained by Goethals to be
one of the most pressing for congress
TO meet.

MANY GOOD THINGS
COMING TO v|N|TA
one Of Greatest industries Desires to
Locate There And Commercial
Club VIII Secure Site.

Several matters of great interest
we're taken up at the Commercial
Club meeting last night and plans
made for taking them up for. action.
The leading ones we're the location
of one of the biggest industries in the
southwest here, the purchase OF the
Willie Halsell college building and
grounds for a high school site, the
building OF the Porter railway, and
the completion of the foundry and feed
mill plant. Great interest was taken
in all these matters by those present
Several of those present felt 1t
would be best to try and procure the
location Of the high school at the col
lege site owning to there being less
noise and further from the business
center and plans were made to further
consider this most important question
to the welfare Of Vinita.
It was reported by the president
that Senator Porter had advised him
that in about thirty days he would
put proposition up TO the citizens Of
Vinita for building the railway line to
this city on which grading is now go
ing forward as far south as the Verdi
girls river.
A letter from the Woodcock Manu-
featuring company was received and
is of such general interest that it was
decided to publish the same and ap-
pears below
The feed mill and foundry building
will be completed in few DAYS and
the supplies have been ordered so that
it may be put into operation by No
vember l. The building committee of
the Commercial Club desire it to be
called to the attention of all subscrib-
ers to the bonus that it is up to the
club now to make good its agreement
for bonus and for every one TO pay in
their subscriptions and will appreciate
it greatly if every one will hand in
their subscriptions the first of next
week or be ready to pay the same on
call of the Commercial Club secretary.
The sentiment of the whole meeting
last night was: Let every fellow do
his part and do it now and we win
build a greater vinita yet"

The building is practically complet
ed and every one visiting the plant
seems to be highly gratified at the re-
suits achieved and say We have much
better building than they anticipated.
There yet remains to be done some
important matters to complete the
agreement of the club with the COM
pany and Mr.. j. G. Woodcock, which
the company respectfully urges should
be done by the club at once, in order
TO facilitate the early operation Of
the plant
1t is found that the company will
need TO eXpend ABOUT $4OO Tor addl-
tional building; that it is desirable
and necessary to expend about $500
at present in lathes, saws and other
machinery in order to do general
foundry work; and it is estimated that
it will take $2,1OO, or over. to stock
up for the seasons trade with pig iron,
coke, molding sand, fire clay, etc. SO
the company has decided to sell 49,
600 of additional treasury stock in or

pany to the best advantage.
