ABOUT I83UINQ BONDS
r •. 'J'- •
The Loader yesterday afternoon'sug-
gested that 'Beaumont and Orange
should get busy at once oh the ques-
4¡on of issuing bon^g for the" comple-
tion of the Sabitve-Neches canal, and
It was with a great deal of pleasure
that we noted this morning ah urgent
appeal from the Beaumont Enterprise
for the'inauguration of a movement
looking to the issuing of bonds to
the amount of $350/000 for the purpose
of completing this canal to a depth
of twenty-five feet and thus^_gt-
" Beaumont and Orange ^•'advantage

one .of the most important
questions that has ever confronted the
o'ple of Orange and Jefferson coun-
vand is. worthy the serlouB thought
and consideration of every citizen who
is at all interested in the'welfare of
his home county. —
There seems to be a settled opinion
among congressmen " that no. rivers
and liarbors bill will toe passed at
the present session. If this is a fact,'
then two ye&rs will elapse before we
can hope to Becure an appropriation
for continuing this important work.
If a river and harbor bill is no^. passed
it will result in many of the dredg-
ing companies having to lay up their
equipment and {his should make it
easy to get a most favorable contract
for the completion of the Satoine-
NecheB canftl.
Orange and Jefferson counties could
well afford to vote a bond issue for
an amount sufficient to complete the
Sablne-Neches canil to a depth of
twenty-five feet and dredge out the
shoal places in the Sabine and Neches
rivers to an equal depth.
Of course, It would be necessary
to secure some special legislation
from the state legislature in order
to make such a bond issue legal, and
Sb the legislature is soon to convene
it behooves those interested in the
matter to get exceedingly busy with-,
out delay.'
a! meeting Of Beaumont aad Orange
people Interested in the project should
be called right away and. the matter
%|horoughly discussed and plans adopt-
ed Jtór. carrying on the campaign.
The Leader knows that some , of
the largest interests In Orange county
are favorable to thje project and we'
believe that a majority of the people
will favor a bond isstte for the pur-
pose of making Orange a deep water
port. Just as a majority of the people
of Jefferson county will favor the
same thing for Beaumont.
As. suggested by the Enterprise, it
probably would not be a difficult mat-
ter later to secure an appropriation
from congreste reimbursing the two
counties for the money thus expend-
ed in developing another great water-
way for the commerce of the county
and in the end, Orange and Jefferson
oounties would not toe out a dollar on
the transaction. Let's keep up the
agitation until the people are aroused
"to a realisation of the Importance
of this great question of deep water
facilities and then the money will be
provided.
epthj tpeBHng its capacity and affording
Nfl&RT employment to fifty or sixty addition-
al men, with a cigar factory projected
that will employ twenty-five or more
men, with the crate factory preparing
to largely increase its output and af-
ford employment to 25 or more addi-
tional men and with one of the local
saw mills preparing to double its ca-
pacity and employ a greatpr number
of men, the outlook for the laboring
man In Orange for the new year is
very favorable indeed. With a sub-
stantial Increase In' the tin bucket
brigade will oome additional pros-
perity, for, after ail, they are the peo-
ple that make the wheels of commerce
revolve. Let us have thean. The
Leader is glad to know that the field
Is so rapidly opening here for the
employment of more men "than ever
before.
Leader a happy and prosperous
Year, one friend expressing a ho
that the Leader would do 100 per cenl
more business in 1909 than it did in
the year just past. We have appre-
ciated the thoughtfulness eft these
fiends whtf have thus given us en-
couragement and wished us Godspeed
on this first day of the New Year,
and we have resolyed to work harder
for the upbuilding of Orange and to
striye more' earnestly to make the
Leader a representative newspaper In
the good year 1909 than ever before.
In this effort we trust we will" have
the hearty support" and ocnqperatlon
of the people of Orange, both of the
business community and those of the
home/ We wish for all of 6ur friends
a Happy and a Successful New Year,
with few sorrows and many^Jo^.

CHANGEEOATSERVICE
LAUNCH DOMAN WILL RUN FROM
PORT ARTHUR TO OR-
ANGE HEREAFTER .
Instead of Making Trips From «This
City to Port of Entry City, as Here-
tofore—Fishing and Outing Parties
Will Not Have 8uch Long Runs.
A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
" The Leader editor was, Cheered and
encouraged this morning by toeing
called up on the phone a number of
times by friends, \who thus took oc-
casion to wish for the editor and the
Beginning with next week, the reg-
ular semi-weekly boat service between
Orange and 'Port Arthur will be re-
versed; so that the boat will make
its trips .from, Port Arthur to Orange
and return, Instead of from Orange
to Port Arthur, as has been the case,
since the Inauguration of the service.
Captain. Geo. Wólford, who has
charge of the launch Doman, says
this change is being made on account
of the popular demand of a large numr
ber of citizens of tooth towns; Port
Arthur people want to come to Orange
and spend a day and Orange wai|ts
to have them here as visitors. L
Another reason for the change Is
that the laWch will have the oppor-
tunity of picking up jetty and fishing
parties, salt Wat..; toeing a shorter
run away than orange, and at the
present time there Ib' not a boat of
any kind at Port Arthur that does a
ssenger and elcurslon business, and
for that reason, he believes that with
the twlce-a-week trips between the
two cities, and the fishing and outing
parties that will desire to go to the
gulf,, that the business and patronage
can be materially Increased, and is
going to give the new proposition a
trial.
