A gentleman who had lately
been looliiiiR over ibis country
with i view (if making hi home
somewhere in lhn Indiau Terri-
tory spent rot days in Vinita.
A an nuteide looker on his views
wer worm relation. H Mated
that it witn.no ua-t ' a stranger's
diry to cruiciHw but h had looked
over the town pret'y carefully and
then were bis impression: 11
mw imi n ihioKd bully needed the
possession of which would draw
immigration or bava a twndencv
to locate prnepeoiors and ths
principal tiling in which ww are
de6cient are sidewalk and paved
Mreets. Then it appeared to him
we needed manufaCtnriM fU-l bs-
ing cheap which would give em
ployment to labor. In the indus-
trial tine the first thing that oc-
curred to him was a packing houe
and it also 01 ked as thoun a
creamery canning factory and
brick yard ahould prove profitable
industries.
All (j I these enterprise have
been dinm-aed and considered r'
peatedly hy our home people and
that this gxntleman named them
only gos in confirm the judgment
of our citix-iia. The greatest op
por'unity (or a permanent and
profi'aM" hu-ii.e-s ol imporianoa
sec ill a i) lie held out HI the pack
iriK I ou.e .n j-ci. Iii this the in
VeetFiieiit could be a (treat or
small at the individual who con
ducted it deeired It is hardly to
be doubted that if Matt Hawkins
or mimniini whuss talents run to
that direction: should undertake
the tak he could organise a $20
(KM) company io a week or larger
il desirable.
A brick yard might also he
brought to the magnitude ol an io-
ventmenl of importance and we
know by experience it is a needed
adjutici to a growing lowo when
we see brick unloaded from the
cr day by day.
