fare of our farming people and the
development of Orange county is its
apology for so frequent reminder of
the possibilities of Orange soil and
climate, with the good seasons which
other sections of Texas would give
millions for.
In the columns of this paper have
been produced evidences of the adapt-
ability of our soil and climate to suc-
cessful triick growing in -the actual
experience of others. It has been
shown by these practical demonstra-
tions of other growers not only that
the land about Orange will glow
profitably and easily onions, which
are shipped in here from Wes; Texas,
and tomatoes, which are brought
from other joints as far as Mexico,
and which have never yet at any time
half supplied the local demand; and
asparagus and cauliflower, which our
[■< pie all crave and 1.1 not get, and
s c res of other delicaci ■$ which :ottl I
be. Kit are not, grow* in Orange
comfy—to say nothin,; of the fruit
JV'KlliCtS.
It has also been urged that this
climate will admit of the growth of
two Jo four crops ot the products
ni.med each year front the same land,
and tie crops could he so rotated
Cat instead of impc v;rishlng the soil
*; *.< t*ld be a very material benefit to
i’..c t-cil.
In addition to the eeperitnee of our
o -vTi growers in a stnu.l way abou*
' l.-aoge, the following report of a
truck farm on a large- scale at Lake

'den M Foster. w!i> j,s interested
■with T A Dees in a small fuck farm
near Lake Charier, tells the story of
In- txperiencc this >*:,*.- as follows;
We originally bought a quarter
st . on of land for tVe purpose of
p..sti:r:ng cattl* Th: fa m is located

..v-rage praire-upland. Last summer
we i : ! some of the land broket- and

peas, intending to use them as feed

‘h raise Tr.ic ot. n larger sc.-ie
We had the land put in the best pos-
sible condition for sod land and thep
planted a general truck crop, such as
lettuce, cabbage, beets, onions, canta-
loupe*. melons and cucumbers, with
j about twenty acres in corn Our
I two acres of lettuce netted us better
j than $100 an acre, all sold locally:
Our cabbage and beets did exception-
ally well, and we found it necessary
to ship the most of them Our half-
, acre of cauliflowers produced at the
rate of $250 an acre, sold locally, and
| we could not supply our trade We
! have shipped two cars of melons and
J sold *evtr«rt rarloads locally, and still
j have in our ten-acre field two or three
carloads more, with our late crop of
about two acres just beginning to
make small melons. Our corn is in
good condition, and we arc just be-
ginning to use some of it for feed.
The thirty acres *c have in truck
will produce a gross crop in excess
of $lt«i an acre "The corn we expect
to use as feed We used barn ma-
nure and cotton seed meal for fer-
tilizers for everything except the mel-
ons and cantaloupes; for these we
used commercial fertilizer For a
first year’s crop on sod land we con-
sider that wc have done fairly well,
and now that our land is in better
condition to work we expect to do
much better. Our pride has been in
the looks of our farm, as much as in
what we made out of it, and to a
great extent we attribute the results
we have had to that feature of it
Our fields are kept clean, all grass
and weeds are kept down, and we
never let anything grow which tends
to take nutriment away from the
crops we plant. Any man who will
work can easily make as good and
better crops than we did if he will
bear in mind these two points; Pre-
pare yottr ground; keep the grass out.
It' takes work to make a success of
anything, but of all vocations I know
of nbthing where the rule holds good,
‘the more you s^ork the more you
make,’ as in raising truck Wc are
breaking up more land for a fall and
winter crop, and next year expect to
have about three times as jjtuch land
.pi anted.”
What was done in Lake Charles
can be done in this county, for the
soil and climate are identical. With
organization among the growers of
</ach-community, so as to be able to
ship in car lots as rapidly as the pro-
duce is ready, and keeping in close
touch with the foreign markets, not
depending solely on local markets,
thw profits could be made even larger

trucker.

Mr. R. J. Mills and family have
recently moved from this place to
Orange.
Mr. and Mrs. R. Rodgers are vis-
iting in Orange for a couple of weeks.
Mr. D. Cormier passed through

days’ visit.
Mrs. L. Rowe has been quite sick
for the past week.
Mr. and Mrs. H. (Griffith have
gone to Cloudcroft, N. M., for a

Mr. R. Howlett, purchasing agent
of the Blodgett Construction com-
pany of Galveston, was a business
visitor in the city a few days .ago,
and while here purchased a barge
from J. A. Salter. He left for Gar-
den City, La., to purchase other
barges and tugboats at that point,
all of which will be used in build-
ing the causeway at Galveston.
Master John Kelley, accompanied
by his little sister, were early morn-
ing visitors to Orange today.
They Like Orange.
From Friday's Daily.
The Beaumont Enterprise has con-
tained several accounts recently of
people on the way to Beaumont, lik-
ing Orange county so well that they
would jump off the fast-flying trains
m order to remain in Orange county.
Several of these people were injured
and were carried on to Beaumont
only because they were in a helpless
condition and the nearest hospital
was at Beaumont.
It is nearly an every-day occur-
rence that people come to .Orange
bfrotn surrounding counties, particu-
is sure to have good results and it
should arouse an enthusiasm on the
question of good roads that nothing
else could do. With, this great high-
way connecting the two States
w-ould c’bme a development unparal-
leled in history. Farm houses would
spring up all along the way, suburban
homes would be built, wild lands
would be put under the plow, trans-
portation facilities from farm to city
or railroad station would be greatly
improved and the whole country
would benefit.
In undertaking this tour, and pre-
senting this object lesson to the
people, Col. Park, Mr. Link and their
associates deserve much commenda-
taion. The good roads movement
should be given an impetus that will
be felt all over the country, and the
New Orleans to San Antonio high-
way should, as a result, soon become
an actual probability.

London, August 10.—The fact that
a convicted thief has been acting aa

last was revealed at the London ses-
sions yesterday.
After John Fuller, who joined the
force on April 26, went to live at the
Kentish Town sejtion house numer-
ous small thefts occurred in the house.
Suspicion did not fall on Fuller, but
on other policemen. In one case a
vast sum was removed from one lock-
er to another, apparently with the ob-
jects of casting suspicion on another
policeman.
Eventually Fuller was caught steal-

joined the force were satisfactory, and
that he had left the army with a

Col. Sam Park is vice president of
the National Good Roads associa-
tion and is an enthusiast on the ques-
tion of good roads. This tour from
Beaumont to New Orleans is being
made for the purpose primarily of
awakening an interest along the line
among the people in the question of
building a great highway through the
State of Louisiana to connect with
one in Texas and making a continu-
ous highway from New Orleans to
San Antonio.
Already Calcasieu parish, Louisi-
ana, is aroused on the subject ^nd is
working to that ebd, having had a
big force at work for some time on
sections of the trans-Calcasieu high-
way.
Just as enthusiastic as Col. Sam
Park is Hon. J. W. Link -of Orange,
who has been devoting more time

Lumber Company.
Houston, Tex., Aug. 7.—Deeds for
something over 125,000 acres of pine
timber land, heavily wooded, have
been made to J R. Chapman of Illi-
nois by John H. Kirby, personally,
and the Kirby Lumber company, for
a total consideration of more than
$3,000,000. The land is located in
Angelina, Hardin, Jasper, Newton,
Liberty, Sabine, San Augustine, Shel-
by, Tyler and adjoining counties.
Much of the timber is along the
Ncches river and is particularly fjne.
The land transferred by Mr. Kirby
was for the consideration of $1,021,-
49399. The land transferred by the
Kirby company was for something
over $2,000,000.
The sum of $3,500,000 was required
to make cash payments when the
Kirby Lumber company went out of
the hands of a receiver and the bulk
of the amount was obtained by the
sale of the above lands.
The Kirby company has over 10C,-
000 acres of land remaining in the
counties named and adjacent to them,
not counting the great leased tracts
of the Houston Oil company, which
aggregate 858,000 acres, * on which
there is 5,000,000,000 feet of stump-
age. This property is being cut over
ed from floor to ceiling, as was the
one down stairs, with clean looking
blankets, comforts, sheet's, plenty of
bedding, Mrs. Giles assured me. The
bath-room too was perfect in its ap-
pointments, the porcelain furnishings
according well with, the white-plas-
tered walls. There are fifteen bed-
rooms altogether in the Home, all
neatly furnished. At present there
are fourteen old ladies in the Home,
every one as neat as were their rooms.
One girl trained by Mrs. Giles her-
self does the work of the Home,
i Every old lady who is able renders
assistance in such light tasks as set-
ting the table, .washing dishes, etc.
The furnishings of the Home are
well-nigh complete. A little more ta-
ble linen might “come in handy.”
How glad the dear old ladies were
to sec Mrs. Giles as, she handed a
tonic to this one, beef-tea to that,
etc. And right here let me say, the
Home has all necessary furniture, but
there is almost daily need for medi-
cine for some ailing one or some spec-
ial dainty to tempt the failing appe-
tite, etc. These things cal! for money.
The Chapters are faithful but there is
no more deserving enterprise than
this of making comfortable the last
days of the widows of our hero dead.
To care for the comfort of those left
behind and now unable to care for
themselves were a nobler work even
than the building of monuments. Not
many years will these be with us. We
