winter. The gentle southern breeze,
impossible to be described to the
northerner who ha* not felt its de-
lightful influence, laden with the
ozone gathered in its voyage of over I
1000 miles over the pure, soft waters
of the great Mexican Gulf, is forever j
softly, but steadily, stealing through
the windows, and among the flowers
and foliage; ever cooling, but never
chilling; always refreshing and invig-
orating; ever moving, but never vio-
lent. The winters of Oklahoma are
described in one word perfection.
KAII.KOAD FACILITIES.
We are laying the foundation of a
great western city with the best pos-;
sible point in our favor. We have the I
best trunk line railroad in the western
country the (ireat Hock Island Route
and besides the company and its offi-
cials are manifesting a lively and |
commendable interest in the destiny
of our growing little giant of the
plains.
The Nock Island system, almost I
covering the western country with its
glistening spans of steels, extending
from state to state, into capital and
through territories like shining threads
of silver; from Chicago and the great
Lakes on the north, the Rocky moun-
tains and great beds of coal on the
west, to the port of Galveston and the
pine region of the south. We are in
clu ,o touch with the ("hica^ 1 and (iulf
markets ami all our supplies are chea-
per than if we were compelled to de- J
pend upon one market.
The Great Rock Island Route places
us within a half day's ride to Fort
Worth, from breakfast to breakfast
between North Enid and Chicago and
a day's ride to the mountains. The 1
Rock Island brings us our pine lumber 1
and building material from the pine
regions oi the south at a nominal cost,
draws to tne Chicago markets our
countless herds of sleek cattle which
fatten and thrive 011 our native grass-
es and brings us fuel from the great
coal*beds of Iowa and Colorado, com-
ing in competition with or extensive
bodies of timber.
This at once solves our fuel prob-
lem. It will be a small cost.
We are all proud of the Great Rock
Island Route and its officials—men of
sterling integrity and probity of char-
acter and all have the most friendly
feeling for our driving, thriving,
pushirg, energetic young city.
The railroad company is making
some extensive improvements in North
Enid. It has just completed a splen- 1,
did new freight depot, separate from !'
the old passenger depot It was coin- j
pelled to put in three thousand extra
feet of siding to accommodate the im- 11
inense local freight traffic, making in
all about three miles of tracK privi- j j
lege which the company now has in '
North Enic.l. The material is arriving
in the yards for an elegant new pas-
senger depot, with separate rooms on
either end for ladies and gentlemen's 1
waiting rooms, convenient and com- ,
modious ticket department, telegraph J
offices center, front, a twenty foot 1
walk on the east side and sixty feet ,
of platform at each end. The archi- |
tecture and arrangements of the new ;
depot building are to be entirely mod-
ern throughout. It is designed to be
the finest, completest and handsomest
passenger depot in the entire Indian
Territory.
We do not wish to be understood as
"repeating tales out of school," but it
is intimated that the new passenger |
depot is to be so constructed as to ac- 1
commodate division offices and head- j,
quarters that are to be removed here ] |
in the near future. We understand j1
that when the company laid out North 1,
Enid four years ago, it was found that \
the location and surroundings were so (
exceptionally* line and the water sup- i 1
ply so pure and plentiful, that it was |
then determined to make this point a 1
division and distributing station. Pre- ,
! sent indications arc such that the com- |
I pany is Cuming to that point th;"i w i-.
at first anticipated. We are having a
miraculous growth, bounding forward
togieatness and renown with the vi-
I gor of a young giant.
The company is helping us all it can
consistently, and the citizens or North
Enid are thoroughly satisfied with the
course which the railroad company is
pursuing towards the city.
We are at peace with the world.
North Enid is prettily located on a
level plateau, gently sloping eastward ,
to a small ravine which skirts the city *
on the north and east, affording the
fine.-.t possible drainage. The city has
three large parks, two for public and
one for school purposes.
Before closing this article we wish
to allude briefly to the Town Compa-
ny which has played such an impor-
tant part in the construction of out
young city. We are personally ac-
quainted with the members of the
company and have been for several
years. Every one of them are gen-
tlemen of the highest social and finan-
cial standing, and persons living at a
distance, who wish information con-
cerning town property may write any
of the officers freely and fully, in the
strictest confidence.
Invest now in North Enid and reap
rich returns.
Correspondence directed to the Tri-
nt'NK will receive the promptest at-
tention.
