Eastern OKldnOma Is going TO nave
an inaugural and river improve
ment special train to Washington. Tho
people OF the Eastern portion of the
state, especially that section where
live the members of the Five CIV
ilizd Tribes are going to Washington
to attend the Inauguration and they
are going In style.
The movement has been chrystal-
lzing for weeks and finally took defl-
mite shape In a meeting of repre-
sentative people OF all OF eastern Ok
lahoma held in the parlors of the
Brady Hotel Friday evening.
There II was decided to start the
train from Tulsa. this being the most
central point and to request all of
the people from eastern Oklahoma to
assemble here and n day to be fixed
later on and board the train.
Seven Slccpcrs.
The train will be all sleepers ex-
cept the baggage and dining cars. Ar
rangements have been in the making
for n dining car service Of fifty cents
a meal straight and this will be at
tended to by the railroad companies.
There will be at least seven sieepers
and reservations already made are as
surance that the train will be filled.
There Is a primary object to the
train. Tulsa has sent booster trains
to the north and east but this time 1t
is eastern oklahoma which is going
to send river Improvement train to
Washington at the time that congress
Is In session and when the arguments
for the improvement of one OF tha
greatest natural highways in the
country will have the most weight Not
only will the train be a travelling ar
gument for the Improvement of the
waterways I'm the southwest but 1t will
have the added feature Of being
travelling advertisement OF the marvel
Gus progress and the matchless re-
sources Of the best section of the best
state in the union. There will be no
drones in the hive and no kicl1ers on
the train. 1T will be a booster train
and with not enough hammers to
drive two miles.
