WHAT WE II AVE TO OFFER
Vinita, like every other town,
needs population n.r) m w euti r
prises needs those industriee
which will give employment in
labor. The HO'ence ot the h a I ion
makes Vinita a model home town
one in which tk,e laborer aoU
the mechanic cau bring up his
family outeide the temptations be
selling bis children in the eistea
It ia likewise an exceptionally
healthful place to live in and cur
agricultural resources and exten
sive coal ilepoeits make the coet
of living comparatively speaking
very low. ;
Labor. Iioih ekllle tuitl wrier-

wsges are very good, If need be,

A GLANCE AFIELD.
The next isiuo of The Weekly
Chieftain will bo in the now
yenr. There are several hundred
subscriptions that will expire
during the next two or three
weeks. We would bo ijlad to
have them renew for Knottier
year, and hope they will do 80
without delay, so as to not miss
a single copy. If you have rc
ceived the paper beyond tho
time paid for, it in because you
are personally known by the
editor unci is sent as a personal
favor. Those knowing their
time to have expired will do us
a favor by promptly renewing.
The Weekly Chieftain for
next year will be better than
ever, as our facilities for pub
lishing t good newspaper are
somewhat better than hereto
fore. The management of the
Chieftain knows what news
and other matter will be
appreciated in such a publica
tion, and that which is of
special interest as regards In
dian Territory n Hairs will be
carefully edited and printed.
The Chieftain will enter the
new year Willi a largely in
creased fijuipinent in tho way
of typo and machinery, and
general facilities for the publi
cation of a newspaper common.
stirate with the needs of the town
and country served. Nxt week

hoped, in new type throughout.
During much more than a de
cade of constant newspaper
work in this field wo feel ft par
donable pride in familiarity
with conditions in this country,
and a personal aciuaintance
