Attendance and Enthusiasm
Entirely Satisfactory.
The Viuita republican club is hold-
ing its llrst meet injr of the l'.04 cam-
paign t lii i afternoon in the court
room. The purpose as stated by the
chairman Commissioner W. S. Stan-
lield is to sign up and make a new
club membership roll elect otlicers
appoint committees and generally
get ready for the bloodless and some
what spectacular fray-spectacular
Ixicause the Indian Territory is de
nied that nwsh precious of all inheri
tance. the right to vote to say noth
ing of arguing the quest ion with the
neighlors.
A good many republicans from the
country are in the city to say nothing
of the city's quota to that party.
That today's meeting is not a dem
ocratic one is ''dead easy'' to deter-
mine even lefore a question is asked
and a st ranger dropped down on the
streets would think lie was in Musko-
Vinita being the most important
town in the district and the political
headquarters as well should naturally
have the most important republican
club. Hence it is expect ed tlte final
enrollment will be large.
Iron Proposition Near Vinita-
Company Organized.
That greatness is to be thrust upon
Vinita or more explicit ly the now
unpretentious postofliee just west of
here CJwendale is to be inferred by a
dispatch from Guthrie published in
the Oklahoma City Oklahoman. It is
given in its ei.'iirety below:
Bloody Shirt Policy.
"What would jou think of Joe Folk
of Missouri and his work of penning
the lux idlers. If he went out for a
ehampagre supper with Ed. 1 Hitler
Charles Knit anil their cliin;? And
what is to Up expected from the Inves-
Outhrie Jan. ''!!. A new Pittsburg
is expected to develop in the Cherokee
nation. The site of the new town of
Gwendale on the Frisco road five miles
west of Vinita. The resources of the
town are inexhaustible deposits of red
hematite the analysis of which shows
70 per cent iron 4 percent of silver 2
per cent of copper and a trace of gold.
The new town is being exploited by
a strong syndicate which is prepar-
ing to erect smelters and establish
steel mills. The head of the syndicate
is ('.If. Hallet a Klondyke million
aire w ho hasextensive holdings in the
Wichita mountains as well as in the
Cherokee count ry.
J. E. Wolfe postmaster of the town
of Gwendale a Cherokee citizen and
an old settler in the vicinity of Vinita
who is in Guthrie on a visit is inter-
ested in the new enterprise. He says
that the existence of deposits of red
hematite in the Cherokee country has
been known for a long time but it is
only since the recent allotment of
lauds there that any interest has de-
veloped in the matter.
'I lielieve" said Mr. Wolfe '-that
the greatest steel mills of the south
and west will Ikj built there. The
tigation of an inspector who puts in a
part of bis time at every town be vis- i conditions there are most favorable to
its attending inilitical blowouts and this enterprise. The company that is

"whooping it up'' with the Ijovs and
making political sweches which if
they have any purpose in the world
are calculated to keep the men whose
official conduct be. is wruf hii.iiiK in
otliceV A whitewash to lie sure."
The al;e is from the Vinita Chief-
tain a (paper whose editor is more or
less eccentric but who has the happy
now preparing to develop the ore is
si rontr and their success which is le-
lieved to 1 assured will cause a rush
of capital from the iron fields of the
east to the Cherokee nation that will
le the greatest thing that ever hap-H-ued
to the Indian Territory. It is
also Iwlieved by the experts who have
looked into the field carefully that
faculty of-hammering the nail on t he 1 1 copper proiosit ion there will de
velop into a big thing. The copper is

is alleged was sent to this count ry by
the department of justice for the pur-
pose of investigating the officials of
that department. Since bis arrival it
is a noticeable fact that he has at-
tended every republican convention
rendevous for otticeholders t bat has
taken place and has made an inflam-
matory speech of the bloody shirt or-

their birth fifty years ago and which

Mr. Wolfe is an old employe of the
government. He worked in the de-
partments at Washington twenty
years ago. Then be came west and
became enamored of the Indian Ter-
ritory. There he established a home
and became a leading spirit in the
tribe. He lias lived fourteen years in
the vicinity of Vinita and is one of the
old settlers in the Indian Territory.

Time to Put on Glasses
Is when your eyes begin to feel badly and when this feeling is not due
to organic disease. If you wait or put on ill fitting glasses you may either
lose your sight or weaken it. One cannot afford to trifle with the greates gift
of nature perfect sight. I will test your eyes and fit each eye separately
with the proper glass so your vision if defected from errors or refraction will
again be made perfect. Should the services of a physician or oculist be re-
quired I will frankly tell you se.
