ORANGE, TEXAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON DEC. 18. 1906

Report of the Committee Jast Re-
turned From Washington.
The Beaumont Journal yester-
day contained a report made by
Col. W. 8. Davidson of the re-
cute visit to Washington of rep-
resentatives of Beaumont, Port
Arthur and Orange that covers
the question so thoroughly, we
publish it in full, Mr. Ford sub
stantiating the report as made
by Col. Davidson; Journal says:
Col. W. 8. Davidson, chair-
man of the Beaumont deep water
committee, returned Saturday
night (from Washington, whera
he has spent the past two weeks
in the interest ot securiug ap-
propriations to.'make the Sabine
Jake canal eighteen feet iustead
of uioe feet deep; tu secure an
appropriation for the improve-
ment ot Sabine Pass channel
and repairing the ‘ jetties; and
tor making some changes in the
' Sabine lake canal-wbere it joins
Taylor’s bayou-. Colonel David,
son was accompanied to Wash-
ington by Mr. George M. Craig

returned with Colonel Davidson
Saturday, and Mr. Craig is ex-
pected to tollOw in a few days.
What Was Wanted.
Colonel Davidson brings smal l
encouragement tor those who
are interested in the securing
of'aneighteen-foot canal through
the lake. Other propositions
concerning Sabine Pass and
Port Arthur may be taken care
of, but there is small hope that
the present congress will make
any appropriations for the Sa
bine lake canal. As is well known
there was appropriated by th e
former congress before the ex-
piration of Mr. Cooper’s term
a total of 9536,000 tor the pur-
pose of digging this canal from
Taylor’s bayou to the Sabine
and Necbes rivers. Under this
act a contract was let to the
Bowers' Southern Dredging
company by which they . wilt
secure a depth of nine feet
1 throughout the canal tor a sum
mama
Among the Orange county
plantations to come to the front
with new ideas t6Y farming is
the Port Vernon Oil company
larm, which will be known in
the future as the the Sabine
Produce and Irrigation company
farm.. This plantation embraces
*bout31,200 acres of land in cul-
tivation and is to be under the
supervision of W. H. Hughes,
who has been connected with
the business tor the past two
years.
One ot the principal crops
another year will be tobacco,
the tact that this plant will
tbfrive in this climate having
been pemonstrated by L. H.
Shelter. Fifty acr^s will con-
stitute the crop of tobacco,
while there will be fitly acres
in sorgum, a tew acres in celery,
canteloupes, water melons, po-
tatoes and all the high lands
will be cultivated in cotton.
Last year only about one-
tenth of the entire plantation
was cultivated, but the good
crops of this year and the stiff
prices have induced the la id
owners, as well as the tenants,
to plant large crops another
year.

NEW METHODIST PASTOR.
Has Taken Charge of His Work
at Orange. What His Horn*
People Think of Him.
Rev. C. J. Oxley, the new
pastor of the Methodist church,
with bis family, is now domicil-
ed in the parsonage and has
taken up his work for the new
conierence year. Mr. Oxley was
stationed at Galveston during
the great storm there and has
charge of some of the most im-
portant stations in the confer-
ence. For the past two years he
has been pastor at Oameron, and
ot his work there and his d e.
parture the Cameron Enterprise
says:
“Rev. C. J. Oxley, accompan-
ied by his family, left last night
lot Orange, Bro. Oxley haviDg
been appointed pastor ot the
Methodist church at that place.
During the two years they have
resided in Oameron they have
endeared themselves to the
people of this city and we are
compelled to give them up. It
was hoped that Bro. Oxley would
be sent back to Cameon for
another year, and it was fully
expected that he would be,
therefore, when the news came
from 'Tyler where the Methodist
Conierence was in session that
he had been sent to Orange, it
was certainly a disappointment
to the Methodist people. Never
in the history of the church at
this place have they had a pas-
tor who was more universally
loved, and one who has labored
more sealously and earnestly
for the upbuilding ot the church
and people. His many good
Christian deeds will ever be a
beacon light for those who have
been associated with him, and
have felt the influence of his
Godly life.”
