Chamber of Commerce Commit
tee Take Matter Up With
Rock Island Officials;
Advantages Project.
MEETING MONDAY IS
IMPORTANT SESSION
Train Would Leave Here at 6
o'clock, Return Night;
More Convenient for
Public, Declares.

At a meeting of the industrial com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
held last night in the chamber head
quarters, fifth floor of the First Ma
tlonal bank building, it was decided
to get behind the Rock Island Off
cials in an effort to get them to run
proposed train from l.-ls;.5 C.ty or
Wichita to CAick-,--.- &C =. ~ 80
Oklahoma City from p. Aoao.
T. j. Brown, secretary CT the Cham
Der of Commerce, was in Ell Reno
yesterday comforting with Rock Is
land officials on the subject, report
OF which he made at the meeting
held last night, and it was decided to
put the influence Of the chamber
back of the proposition.
Petitions will be prepared at once
to be submitted to the local Rock L.
land agent, J. r. Nugent, H. r. Saun-
ders, general manager Of the south
ern division in Ell Reno, Mr.. Warner,
general manager of the western di-
vision, and also to the general pas
senger agent. The claims Of Chick
asha to this train viii be outlined in
the petitions. -
1t will be pointed out in the petit
tion that as the schedules are fixed
now, there is no way for Chickasha
people to get to the state capital, ex-
cept to leave here at II o'clock in
the morning, returning at O'Clock
(Ieaving time) in the evening This
gives a very limited time in which
to transact business in Oklahoma
City and in nearly every instance it
necessitates remaining in the capital
over night.
Other advantages that point to the
advisability of bringing the train in
here instead of Oklahoma City, will
be included in the petitions, but
these reasons were not made pub
lie. Mr.. Brown and members of the
industrial committee were Of the be-
lief that the railroad officials would
be inclined to consider favorable the
proposition.
The train was on the proposed
schedule some time in the past but
during war times was taken off. It
is now proposed to put it on again in
the near future In the event the
train is put on as proposed it will
leave Chickasha in the mornings at
o'clock and will make it possible
for travellers from Oklahoma City or
points north to get in here about
$3.50 aat night.
1 "This will enable Chickasha bust /
ness people TO leave here in the
morning at 6 o'clock spend the en-
tire day in oklahoma City, transact
their business and get back here at |
$50 at night said Mr.. Brown
Everything is set for the regular
meeting of the chamber, which is to
be held Monday night in the new
quarters of the organization. The !
secretary stated that business of i'm
portance would come up for decision
at the meeting Monday night. There
are reports from standing commit
tees to be heard and other matters
vital interest to chickasha business
and professional men, Mr. Brown
declares.
4 The secretary has made arrange
ments for elevator service in the
building to a late hour, that the
members will not be compelled to
toll up many flights Of stairs.
