report today from the district which
was swept by a tornado yesterday. All
the dead were school children ranging
in age from six to eight years. The
bulk of the damage occurred in the
valley town of Vireton, Okla, 3 miles
northwest of McAlester. Preparations
were being made for the noon dis
missal at the country school there
when the tornado entered the state
and swooped down upon the village.

!. Fairfield, Jan. 5.-Action by the
toMn~~of Fairfield is awaited by the
Connecticut. Co., before anything will
be done toward making ,dOuble-track-
ing propositions.
The Connecticut Co. believes the
initiative should come from Fairfield
inasmuch as the last time the COM
,pany proposed double-tracking the
town, attention was called to blan-
ket resolution adopted by the voters in
1895, preventing such action.
The transportation committee of the
Fairfield Civic association, composed
of Simeon Pease, Bacon Wakeman
and, D. II. Warner is expected to hold
a meeting on the matter in a few days
to report to the next meeting of the
Civic. association. It is probable the
committee will recommend that the
Connecticut Co. be urged to place
double tracks on a new site, extend
ing from a point just west of the
Gould Homestead to Eliot street
thence to Pickett's switch.
General Manager c. H. Chapman
of the Connecticut Co. said he under
stood there is local sentiment :or a
7 uouO1C IIdChlHS, OuI liO OlllCldi IC-
quest has been made by the towns
people for the change.
Fairfield has come to a point
where better transportation facilities
are necessary" said Mr.. Chapman.
IF the town requests double tracks
the company undoubtedly would con-
slider the matter and it is probable
the change would be made as soon
as funds and material were available
II believe that in 1896 the voters
of the town of Fairfield held a meet
ing, at which a resolution was adopt
ed prohibiting double tracks in Main
street. I believe it would be neces-
sary to-. rescind that action, before
double tracks could be laid.
Then, it is very probable there is
some opposition in Fairfield now tc
double tracks. It would be advisable
for the voters to get together, and
consider what would be best for the
interests of all, and then bring the
matter to the. attention of the COM
j pany, if it is decided double tracks
are wanted"
Members of the Civic association
said. today that the proposition to di-
vert the westward trolley traffic al
a point near the Gould Homestead

the Post road, will get serious atten-
