out ttóiiiiost. practical ánd harmonious
p water meeting tliat tías been held in this
section for nuiny months was that Wednesday
¡evening at Beaumont, when members of the
r Ideep water committees of Orange and Beau-
mont got together for a full and free discussion
of matters pertaining to the Sabine-Neches
canal, for which the next congress will be asked
fto appropriate sufficient money to complete it
to a depth of twenty-five feet.
This meeting dealt with practical things in
a practical, business-like way. ^
The leading businéss and industrial interests
of this section have come to realize that the
future of this portion of Southeast Texas lies
very largely in the development of our deep
water ports and giving, us additional facilities
If. by which out products may easily and cheaply
reach the markets of the world.
The full details of the meeting at Beaumont
were not given to the press, but it is known that
a decision was arrived at whereby a strong; dele-
gation of representative citizens will go to
Washington to appear with Congressman Coop-
er before the Board of ^Engineers and later to
take up the matter of appropriations with the
Rivers and Harbors Committee in congress.
The Orange committee selected two of the
strongest men in Orange for their representa-
tives,;Mayor E. W. Brown and Hon. J. W. Link.
A better selection could not have been made
and Orange is to be congratulated upon the
fact that she will have such a strong delegation
* at Washington.
The Sabine-Neches canal project will, with-
out doubt, have a, rough and rocky road in con-
gress this session, but our pebple are not dis-
couraged. They have met just as difficult ob-
stacles before and overcome them and they feel
that it can be done again.
A strenuous effort is going to be made to
get recognition from the coming congress that
will insure the completion of this canal to a
depth Of twenty-five feet—and we believe the
effort will be successful.
If the Merchants' Association keeps up its
nirage, prepares its rate book and sticks to
tt^ttiWe's going to be a mighty rattling of the
dry bones among some of tji? professional dead
beats of Orange. The Leader editor went into
business in Orange on his own adcount on the
first day of July, 1904, and the Very first order
for printing that be booked stands on the books
today unpaid. The man who got the printing,
however, stands high in the social scale hertS,
. takes a prominent place'among the people—;
■ | and gets insulted every time the bill is present-
ed* Our experience, np doubt, has been the ex-
perience of every merchant in Orange. There
is great need in Orange for an adequate credit
rating system.
"Orange sacrificed its historic calaboose to
the interests of its new docks, which is. but an
indication of how the new is up-rooting the
old," says the.Beaumont Enterprise. Yes, old
vthings are passing away and a new order of
filings is rapidly developing.. A city prison on
; . the banfc-^of the river in the most prominent
>laee in city was all■'right, in the old days,
jut a feeling of intense relief and satisfaction
rent «ver the people of Orange' when they real-
" that tjie old eyesore had at lftát actually

Rev. A. "McFaul, pastor of Green Mjenue
Baptist church, has advised the Leade^that
on next Sunday night he proposes to inaugu
a crusade^against an evil that exists in Ora;
which is sapping and undermining the mo
and physical natures of many of our young me"!
and which is a menace to the future welfare o
any community. Mr; McFaul does not expect
to be sensational, but to deal with a subjec
that needs attention, in such a way as to ei
deavor to arouse the community to a sense/of
the desperate evil that -exists and to create a
public sentiment that will result in the abolish-
ment or, at least, an abatement of this em.
Col. Jim Furlong, the prince of bon^faces,
who. is in charge of the Phoenix Hotpl, at-
Shreveport, La., never forgets the Leader edi-
tor when |ie serves his guests with special din-
ners and always sends us a menu card—just to,
let .us kti#4 what we are missing by not being
in reach ox those magnificent dinners. The
Thanksgiving menu card Was a ork of art,
appropriate to the season and the bifl of fare
Could not have been improved upon.
Brother Krebs of the Lake Charles American,
has the thing sized up arid knows,just how to
keeji the young men on the. farms. He says:
"Speaking .for Calcasieu, as if is?, clearly im-
practicable to move Lake Charléis out to the
farms, we would suggest a government sub-
sidized moving picture show located on alter-
nate sections."
Okra fibre is the nearest to jute or mamila
fibre of anything raised here, and in fact it is
superior to* that fibre for many things. The Or-
ange Leader, has been studying paper making
intelligently and maybe has discovered just'the
thing néeded to insure print paper making in Harbors Congress at Washington On
Texas. Certain it is that paper made from okra
fibre would be more durable than that made
from wood pulp, while the tensile strength of
the paper would be greater. Start the paper
mills in Texas.—Beaumont Enterprise.
No town or city in the country is making
greater improvements than those' now in pro-
ess in Orange. The marsh filling work and
the elaborate wharfage system that is being in-
il led means that Orange is going to be a big-v
.. r and better city than ever before. The men
who inaugurated this great work should be |m|
mortalized in the history of Orange.
The Southern Pacific railroad, no idoubt real-
izing that it would probably do some of the
Methodist people of this city some good to hear
Bishop Candler preach, has kindly consented
make a rate of 90 cents for the round trip freaa
Orange to Beaumont on next Sunday for that
purpose. The Southern Pacific is all right and
we trust that many of the Orange people will
avail themselves of this opportunity.
The Methodist church in Orange lias
organized thirty-six years and duriñg that time
has had twenty-thrco pastors. That's putting
them through thti mill mighty fast, and we are a week from tomorrow night. The
not sure that it speaks well for this place to úsual prólimínary and-sfcort distance

New Orleans. Nov. 26.—A protected
navigable waterway connecting the
Mississippi River at New Orleans
with the Rio Grande is the bold yeJt
feasible and inexpensive, programme
of the Interstate inland Waterway As*
sociatlon which wlli hold its fourth"
convention at New Orleans on Decem-
ber 4th and 5th. Extensive work has
eady been doge on this Important
link in the now pretty well defined
system of inland waterways, and ar-
rangements will be made at the Neiw
Orleans convention to bring the mat-
ter of its early completion to tho at-
tention of congress in such a forcible
manner as to overcome all opposition.'
Competent engineers say that $4,000,-
000 is ample to cover the expense of
connecting the rivers, lake, inlets and
protected stretches of the gulf through
South Louisiana and South Texas to
the Rio Grande. When: completed
this Inland waterway will hugely fa-
cilitate and greatly cheapen transpor-
tation for the people of a Very large
portion of both Louisiana and Texas,
and in addition, give New Orleans
protected waterway communication
with. Mexico, and give Houston and
Galveston direct waterway communi-
cation with the entire Mississippi val-
ley waterway system. What this
means to the péople in the territory
to be benefitted is best ghowji by the
great interest being taken by them
in the New Orleans convention.
Delegates have been named frogm
nearly every town in the Southern
half of Texas and Louisiana. The #ar
department and the United States en-
gineers' office will take a prominent
part. A delegation will come from
Illinois in the interest of the broad
project to connect Chicago with the
Rib Grande. The governors of Louisi-
ana and Texas are evidencing deep
Interest in the convention. Many
delegates to the National Rivers atad
December 9, 10 and 11 will first at-
tend the New Orleans convention, on
December- 4 and 5. |
The railroads have announced a re-
duced, rate of one fare plus ten por
oent, with a lengthy, stop over priv-
ilege, while the New Orleans Progres-
sive Union has arranged "a somewhat
ambitious • programme, Including
steamboat excursions of Inspection,
lunches, smokers, harbor inspections
ánd,other entertainment for the sev-
eral thousand visitors expected to at-
: tend*
Many thousand invitations are be-
ing aent out, and Chairman John Dy-
mond, Jr.; of the Invitation Committee,
announces that upon request an in-
vitation .will be seqt to any citizen
of standing in Louisiana and Texas
who Is sufficiently Interested in the
movement to desire to, take part in
the proceedings Such requests should
be made promptly, by, mall to Mr.
John Dymond, care of the - New Or-
leans Progressiva Union.
