it was largely on the strength of this showing
that congress was induced to spend the large
sums it has authorized for the improvement of
the waterways to the gulf via Port Arthur. And
Orange, stands ready to do her full share in
this direction. Of course, we cannot force our
products on an unwilling market, but whenever
and wherever there is a demand for yellow pine
lumber and timber for export Orange expects
to get her full share of it and to make these
shipments via Port Arthur and Sabine Pass.
Entered as second class matter February 24,

Referring to the efforts of the Beaumont En-
terprise to stir up the people of that city to the
importance of speedily providing dock facili-
ties to meet the demands of a coastwise steamer
service, the Orange Leader says: “Providing
adequate wharfage facilities is one of the most
essential things necessary in the building up of
a port. In fact, after the proper depth of water
has been secured, wharfage facilities are the es-
sential thing. The Enterprise could not have
used a greater argument to spur its people on
in this direction than to hold over them the pos-
sibility of Houston and Orange being the first
to provide these facilities, and we have no doubt
that they will begin to get busy right away and
huild the wharves. In the meantime let’s not
let the matter drag in Orange. Preliminaries
are now being looked after and as soon as these
are completed we hope to see the actual work
of construction begin on the elaborate wharf-
age system that is planned.”
From the above it will be seen that Orange,
no less than Beaumont, and Port Arthur may be
included as well, are fully alive to the import-
ance of prompt action in the matter of making
sure of a part of the increasing volume of traffic
seeking an outlet through gulf ports. When
such traffic has once commenced to flow through
a certain channel, it is no easy matter to divert
it to other points. Hence until Houston pro-
vides free wharves and adequate dock facili-
ties at the turning basin she is in no position to
enjoy the full benefits of the work done in her
behalf by the government. She has the deep
water, but she cannot induce even coastwise
steamers to use it until she has provided a‘-place
for them to discharge their cargoes.
The importance of speedy action in the mat-
ter of providing such facilities can not be urged
too strongly upon our citizens.—Houston Daily
Post.
The Orange Leader says that adequate wharf-
age facilties is one of the most essential things
necessary in the building up of a port, and, in
fact, if a proper depth of water has been secur-
ed, this is the essential thing. The Leader is
urging Orange to get busy and build docks and
wharves. Orange in its private docks and
wharves, now possesses far better facilities for
landing on its river front than does Beaumont,
but that is no reason why that city should not
have more and better wharves than it now has.
It is an incentive, however, for Beaumont to get
busy on her wharves.
There are many reasons why Beaumont
should have wharves, but the principal reason
is that they are promised to be used. Steamers
cannot come to Beaumont without them, and the
traffic that there is already on the river is get-
ting too large for the small dock at the foot of
Hickory street, and to tie up at the bank any-
where is not always as safe and profitable an un-
dertaking as it might be.—Beaumont Enter-
prise.
Referring1 to the above comments on the mat-
ter of providing adequate wharfage facilities
the Leader is pleased to be in position to state
today with authority that the wharves will be
provided at Orange, without delay. Mayor Pro
Tem Brown yesterday informed the editor that
plans for the wharves had been drawn and ap-
proved and he expetced to have the work of
construction begin now in a very short time.
Thus, Orange will provide facilities for hand-
ling the shipping on the Sabine river and at the
same time she will provide an immense tonnage
for vessels making regular sailings in and out of
this port.
The Bay City Tribune has been taken to task
by some of its patrons for reporting big yields
on certain rice farms and now comes the Lake
Charles American and insists that stories of
this kind be kept out of the papers, stating that
it is a well-known fact that from six to eight
bags of rice to the acre is a good average yield.
That is a fact, but in this matter we believe like
the Bay City paper, that, when a farmer, more
industrious and more up-to-date than some of
his neighbors, succeeds in developing a yield of
fifteen or twenty bags, as is some times done,
that fact should be mentioned as an inducement
for other farmers to adopt improved methods
and endeavor to emulate the example of the
more industrious neighbor who has done so well.
Of course, it is well-known that rice yield on an
average is scarcely ten bags to the acre but it is
also a fact that there are instances where much
greater yields have been had and we believe it
right and proper to call attention to these.

The “Everybody Revival,” to be conducted
by Rev. R. A. Walton and his associates, will
begin in Beaumont this week. What a rattling
of dry bones there will be in the city by the
Neches. We know, for Orange has had the ex-
perience. Dr. Walton and his assistants are
powerful factors in cleansing a town of sin and
iniquity.

The Port Arthur News needlessly takes up
a half column of apace in advising Orange how
to help in securing a greater depth of water to
the gulf—-by sending a greater number of ex-
port lumber cargoes through the waterway. As
the News, it is results and not theories
with the river and harbor committee
>n, and it is not what we could do,
have done, that carries weight in
fore that body. Orange has, for
j§
; out of the Sabine harbor, and
The campaign for representative up in Shelby
county has reached the “dirty liar and coward-
ly cur” stage. Next thing in order, we pre-
sume, will be “pistols and coffee for two.”
What a pity that brethren cannot dwell to-
gether in unity, even in the heat of a political
campign.
Japanese diplomats are said to be indus-

has Japan considerably alarmed over his inti-

form an alliance that would be prejudicial to
Japan.
