This week promises to be one long
to be remembered in the material his-
tory of Orange. Not only of the city
of Orange but of all the large section
of country It now represents.
Tomorrow the Lumbermen’s con-
vention of Texas will convene here. Be-
sides being representative of one of
the best and most experienced body of
business men in the world; it is also
representative of the largest business
interests of Texas and the South.
Who can put down in dollars and
cents the boundless value and import-
ance of which the lumber interest has
been to East Texas—yea to the entire
State and South. The lumberman is
our true pioneer.
It was he who laid the first railroad
track in the primeval forest of the
Long Star State,' and in the boundless
West. From the old fashioned wooden
tram road, built at wide intervals, the
entire pine belt to now traversed by
new and up-to-date bands of steel and
the whistle of the locomative going
and returning from the depth of the
forest laden with logs to as common
as can be. Nor is this all, wherever a
sawmill has been established people
have settled churches * and school
bouses »have been built, roads opened,
fields cleared and the country general-
ly made better and more prosperous
It might be saM that the
lumbermen and his co-laborer, the saw-
mill man from the owner and 'presi-
dent down to the 'cow puncher" way
out in the pine woods front has done
more to build up and call attention in
a permanent and progressive way to
East Texas than all other agencies
combined.
It was mainly to secure the lumber
from the vast pine forests of East
Texas that a number of railroads were
projected afift built. Today these
roads are numbered among the best in
the country.
In this connection we might easily
mention the H. E. A W. T. road; the
Texas A New Orleans, Beaumont-Bal-
las extentlon; the M- K. A T.. Trinity
branch from Trinity to Comesneil; the
G. B. A K. C. road from Beaumont to
Center and other roads quite too num
erous to mention, all of which might
well be termed pine wood roads.
Nor has the efforts of the lumbermen
been confined to Texas alone. He has
contributed to the happiness and ma-
terial welfare of his fellow men in al-
most every known part of'the habita-
ble globe, by sending them his lumber
put of which to build comfortable habi-
tations. Through the efforts and
agency of the lumber people the vast
panhandle country of Texas has been
settled and the people supplied with
lumber tor their houses. Ship load
after ship load has been Bhlpped
across the ocean to almost every part,
and on the ocean masts made of ptoe
trees from East Texas bear proudly
aloft sails and flags of every nation
under the sun. , V

J, A. Paulhamus Says This County
Offers an Inviting Field for Wild
Cat Development.
Mr. J. A. Paulhamus, who has been
engaged for several months ‘in sink-
ing a wild cat well on the Wilson farm
about nine miles northwest of Orange,
came over from this morning and
drove out to the well. Just before go-
ing out he was seen at the Holland by-
a reporter, who asked him for a state-
ment as regards the development at
his well. Mr. Paulhamus replied that
they were now fast overcoming the
difficulties that have retarded the
work at the well for some time and he
hoped to be able at an early date to
show some results that would prove,
beyond a doubt, that there Is oil In
Orange county, and plenty of It
“While we have spent considerable
money In sinking this well,” said Mr.
Paulhamus,” we are entirely satisfied
with the results thus far obtained. ,1
am positive, from the showing made
by our Fell, that there is oil in Or-
ange county and on this particular
tract of land, but In what quantities
it will be developed yet remains to be
seen. Our well makes a better show-
ing all the time and we hope to bring
in a good producer, but 1 am not yet
in position to say what will be the out-
come of the work on this particular
well.
“I do believe,” continued Mr. Paul-
hamus, “that Orange county offers a
most Inviting field for wild catting, and
am firmly of the belief that a man
stands as much show of reaping rich
returns from a wild cat proposition in
this county, between the Neelies and
Sabine rivers as In any undeveloped
field In the South.”
Mr. Paulhamus is one of the most
conservative men engaged In the oil
business and Indulges in no “hot air”
or “wind jamming,” but is quietly pur-
suing his operations, without asking
anyone to put up a cent to help de-
velop his holdings. The work hefs do-
ing will prove of great value to Or-
ange county, for there Is no doubt that
the results so far shown from his
efforts have been sufflfetent to justify
a continuation of the work of develop-
ment and to induce others to engage
in the work also.

New Chwang, Aprii 11—It appears
that the officers of the garrison at thto
point, not understanding the customs
flash signalling in use at the month
of the river, opened fire last night on
the steam pilot boats and on the
out-bonnd merchantmen. Twenty-
four shells were fired Including pro-
jectiles from the larger guns. The
effect of firing was not reported up to
noon today. The firing caused excite-
ment among the troops, during which
a sentry killed two Chinese opposite
the foreign settlement and three miles
from the fort.
It is reported the Japanese troops
have reached the Yalu river and an
attack is being made.

by the negro church, when they'were
fired on with the result stated.
While the man’s body lay In front
of the church a negro with a shot gun
rode by and informed the crowd be
did the shooting, after which be dis-
