Editor Vinita Daily Chieftain:
The citizens of Vinita don't seem to appreciate the fact that they have right in their midst a gold mine, that is waiting for development and as the proposition is for the benefit of all our citizens, it will require the co-operation of all its citizens.
We have an unlimited supply of Radium water the same as Claremore has, at a depth of only a hundred feet, besides we have our own artesian water and to combine the two we will have a much superior water than that at Claremore. Now then let our citizens get together and drill a well, build a suitable building at the Electric park around the swimming pool, first to cement the entire pool, then advertise and get patients and ship the water.
I can procure hundreds of testimonials of people who have been benefited by our water and can soon fill the town with people who will in turn invest and perhaps locate.
I am willing to donate my services and do all I can to help a deal along these lines.
The new interurban line from Bartlesville to Galena will pass through Vinita and this also will assist very materially to help boom our town. The entire cost will not exceed $5000.00 and I will be as one who will place that amount in stock in a proposition of this kind.
Very truly,
W. G. WILLIAMS.

Main Argument
vinita has an untapped gold mine in its radium water resources, superior to claremore's when combined with artesian water; citizens should cooperate to drill a well, build facilities at electric park, attract patients, and boost the town economically, with the author offering services and $5000 investment.
