Oklahoma Letter,

Vinita, Okla, Aug. %, 1911.
Editor eporter-Enclosed find
$3.50 for The Reporter another year.
This is certainly a beautiful country,
and Vinita is beautiful city of about
5000 people. l enclose a post card
showing the new school building now
almost completed. Although it was
dry and hot here in May and June,
the mercury did not get as high as
it did in Iowa and Minnesota. The
drouth and green bugs cut the oats
and wheat short, also the first cutting
of blue stem wild hay), but since
July 10th there has been plenty of
rain, and corn and grass has made
wonderful growth. The first cutting
of hay yielded from a to "a of ton
per acre, but the second cutting,
which is being baled now, averages
over ton. The little town of Kelso
is shipping from 200 to 800 wagon
loads OF two tons each per day, be-
sides filing six big barns which have
total capacity of 5000 tons. The
baling outfit find everything and
cut, rake and bale the hay for $500
per ton, and the hauling costs $1.O0
and it sells now for $500, so that
good meadow land this year will net
the owner from $500 to $500 per
acre. Four very large hay barns are
now being built in this neighborhood.
I have, free from debt, a beautiful
valley farm of $50 acres, a mile
from school, 7 miles from Vinita. 1t
was fenced with barb wire, but 1
built $40 rods of new woven wire
fence, pig tight, and "A inches high,
one barb wire above that. l had
we'll dug % feet deep, in which there
is II feet of clear, cool, soft water.
The cattle and horses l brought with
me are all doing as we'll as they ever
did in Iowa on tame grass. 1t is
hard to believe, but cattle will fatten
as rapidly and cows will give as much
and as rich milk on this wild grass
pasture as they will on tame grass
pasture. The state and county have
commenced the work of eradicating
the Texas Fever Ticks from this
county. They have erected several
dipping watts and yards, in which all
cattle are dipped free. All cattle
are inspected, and if infected with
ticks must be either sprayed or dip
PSu C'C1 C"O WoShS uuLll Lu0V ana
the land on which they run are free
of ticks. Any land from which cattle
have been excluded for six months
will be tick free. That is the reason
my land and my cattle are tick free,
and did not take the fever. Some of
my neighbors farm on very large
scale. Mr.. Jenkins pulls five plows
and harrow with his gasoline trac-
ton engine, on which he has head
light and runs nearly all night. There
is plenty of artesian water to be had
here at from 600 to 1000 feet.
TWO miles west of this there is a 20
inch vein of good coal, within to 6
feet of the surface. Price 8 cents
per bushel. The health of my family
has been better, and of myself nearly
as good as in Iowa. In my opinion
Oklahoma will never equal Iowa as
a farming country, yet we have some
advantages even over Iowa, one of
which is better roads, another the
mllder winters, and last much great
er mineral wealth. Yours truly.
Eugene Stanley.

ed. The Pullman car 'Emelyn, - which
remained on the bridge, with one end
projecting over the gulch, and several
cars behind it derailed and in lmnned-
late danger of going over the mass OF
wreckage below, were soon emptied OF
all their passengers, who, aided by
gangs of railroad employees from the
big freight yards at Manchester, rush
ed to aid the injured. 1t was several
minutes, however, before anybody
reached the cars at the bottom to help
the victims.
The cars did not catch fire. Axes
were secured and body after body was
removed and carried by the rescuers
kneedeep in the river bed to the bank
On the west side Of the trestle. There
tn dead and injured were laid out on
the ground and a field hospital estab-
lished.
It was more than an hour before
many Of the injured could be removed
and special trains from both Geneva
and Rochester brought physicians,
nurses and medical supplies. Hun
dreds awaited treatment, and the rail-
road station at Manchester, a cider
mill and an ice house were used to
give temporary shelter and treatment
to the suffering.
Many Veterans Among Victims.
1t was necessary to chip through
the sides and bottom of the day coach
at the bottom and the work of remoV-
ing the victims moved with painful
slowness. Death had come swiftly to
many, large number of the dead hav-
ing had their skulls crushed in when
they were thrown against the car seats
and projections. The mortality was
high among the older passengers, most
Of whom were veterac- Of the Civil
war, and their wives.
The dead removed from the wreck
and brought to morgue at Shorts
vile, near here, at 9 o'clock tonight
number twenty-three. Two other per-
sons died in Rochester from their in
juries. Several other persons are ly-
ing in hospitals at Rochester, Geneva
and Clifton Springs with probably
fatal injuries. The number of injured
will reach sixty.
Owing to the fact that the derailed
dining car, in going into the ditch east
of the trestle, had brought down sew
eral telegraph poles, with scores Of
wires, telegraphic service was broken
and will not be restored until tomor-
row. Aid had to be summoned b. tele-
phone. Coroner D. A. Eisline, of
shortsville, took charge of the work
at the wreck, assisted by Coroners
Armstrong, of Canandaigua, and Flint,
OF Geneva.

PASSENGERS CRUSHED TO DEATH
Scores Killed and Injured in Railroad
Disaster.-CaSualtieS Placed at
Thirty-SeTen.

Manchester, N. Y, Aug. 25.-At least
thirty-seven persons are tonight be-
Heved to have been killed and more
than sixty injured, as the result OF
the wrecking today Of Lehlgh Valley
passenger train No. 4. Speeding east
ward behind time, the train ran into a
spread rail on a trestle near here, and
two day coaches from the rear section
plunged, crashing downward 40 feet,
striking the east embankment like a
pair of projectiles.
The wreck was one of the most dis
astrous ever recorded on the system.
Crowded with passengers, many OF
whom were war veterans and excur-
sionists from the G.: A. r. encamp-
ment, at Rochester, the train was
made up of fourteen cars, drawn by
two big engines, was forty minutes
late when it reached Rochester juno
ton, and from there sped eastward to
make up time before reaching Geneva.
Pullman Leaves Rails.
The engines and two day coaches
had just passed the centre Of a 40o-foot
trestle, over Canadaigua Outlet, $50
yards east of the station, at Manches-
ter, at 1885 o'clock, when the Pull
man car "Austin,' the third Of a long
train, left the rails. It dragged the
dining car with it and two day coach
es and two Pullmans, in this order,
followed. All bumped over the ties a
short distance, when the coupling be-
tween day coach No. 237 and the rear
end OF the diner broke. The forward
end Of the train dragged the derailed
Pullman austin" and diner, safely
over the trestle, after which they
plunged down the south embankment
and rolled over.
The fore end of an i'll fated Lehigh
Valley day coach, in which most of the
victims were riding, with Crank
Trunk day coach, stripped the rear
guard Of the southside of the trestle
and plunged to the shallow river he'd
more than forty feet below.
Against Solid Wall.
The end of the first day coach that
went over struck the east embank-
npent of solid masonry and, with the
60-foot car behind it, both shot

were filed with ~passen-
few moments the cars lay
&c mass of shattered wood,
IL and glass, under which a hun
ed men and women and children,
many of whom we're killed instan-
taneously, were buried. The greatest
destruction occurred i'll the day coach,
NO. I5l. A QOZen OtrSODS also were
taken later, dead, from the second day
coach, which, after following the first
over the trestle, snapped its rear
coupling and thus saved tee rest of
the train from being dragged along.
This second day coach struck on the
bottom and stood end up, the rear end
projecting a few feet above the top of
the trestle All of the passer gers in
this car were piled in a tangled mass
Of broken seats at the bottom IF the
car.
