Osage Western ties Vinita to assured rail link
A Tuesday Commercial Club meeting in Vinita reached a concession with Clarence Walters to pay a $30 000 bonus for the Osage Western railroad to enter Vinita. Construction will begin in spring with right of way condemnations. The plan excludes a Flint avenue entry, favors using Frisco tracks if needed, and contemplates depot and yards in the south city. The bonus will be funded via bank notes handled by guarantors, not the railroad company, and expansion toward timber regions east of Grand river is planned as part of a broader trunk line concept linking Denver to Memphis.

Minnesota won against Chicago and Great Northern over a 4 percent gross earnings tax, while South Carolina prevailed against railroads on penalties for delayed adjustments in interstate traffic.

Arkansas saw a challenge to an incorporation fee for foreign organizations by Western Union Telegraph in a constitutional issue.
