ie clubs. 'His physicians have recom-
ended him tp reduce the number of

that he does not sleep well. If half
bis Majesty's subjects were as poorly
he is, what a face; they ' would
«nake. The reason vfliy, after all, he
is going to Biarritz and not to Bright-
on is that the former, being further

escape from business.

"Under the above caption tjíie. Beaumont En-
terprise takes occasion to refer editorially to a
pommunication appearing in a recent issueof
the Leader on the subject of navigating the
Sabine river. The article.is to the point and
.worthy of consideration by every citizen of East
{Texas who is interested in the development of
our waterways and of the country contiguous
Ito the Sabine and Neches rivers. The Enter-
prise says:
"A writer signing himself as án old Texan
makes some interesting statements in the Or-
ange Leader anent the navigability of the Sa-
ibine river, and his statements will apply to the
'Neches river with equal force. His recollec-
tions go back through forty years of East Texas
'development and he points out that if the towns
which bonded themselves to subsidize railroads
had applied the same money to the work ofc
clearing the channels of the streams, and mak-
ing them navigable, the development work
would have gone ahead much faster and there
would have been little chance of building up
a monopoly as in the case with the railroads
which they aided.
"The writer tells of steamboats which passed
up the Sabine river to Busk county,. Texas,
which it will be concede^ is a fairly good dis-
tance inland as ditfanees rtrn. While the Neches
river is not so long as the Sabine, it offers the

ing into One of the richest and most pros-
us sections of the entire country; and that
t an early daté.
Thé development of'these rivers, too, would
have a wonderful effect upon the growth of the
cities of Beaumont and Orange, thé entire pro-: £he_"leaders!
duct of one of the richest sections of Texas
would find their way to tide water and a market
through these two cities and here at the mouths
of the two rivers would be built up one of the
principal marts of trade on the oohtinent, and
dependent! only upon their own back country
for their growth.
"When the day comes that the
of- the Sabine-Neches channel is' completed ev-
ery energy should be then bent to securing a re-
sumption of the internal traffic, upon thése
rivers. Draining large and rich sections of tjie
state, the resumption of river traffic would give
an'impetus to the country through which thejr
pass sufficient to completely change it in less
than a quarter of a "century, and here would
be found the center of the greatest agricultural
wealth in America," , V" v;

We have the very latest and most approved
machinery and type faces, and no printing
house in Texas has more artistic workmen, or
men who are better posted in the correct styles
of printing. "
Acustomed to heár the arguments advanced
by traveling salesmen, it is a regrettable fact
that some of our business people and officials
seem to think that they aennot get first class
work except in Houston, Dallas, Galveston or
San Antonio, ignoring the fact that every dol-
lar they said out of town fbr printing helps to
build up an industry in some other city and
overlooking the fact that they have a plant
right here that is helping to support the city
and county, that is employing skilled labor, and
that is worth something to the community;
Think about this, you business men and offi-
cials who are accustomed to sending your print-
ing orders out of jtown. It is worthy of con-
sideration,
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU!
That you owe this city and county just j|
little bit more than to take care of yourself;
that you should do your part for the welfare of
the entire section!
That this deep water proposition is a mutual,
co-operativ£ one!
That you have as much at stake, in propor-
tion to your holdings, as aifyone present!
That the benefits which you will derive from
this improvement will be just as great, in pro-
portion to your holdings, as those of anyone in
the county !
That the principal business interests of the
county are not the "whole push!" '
That you are one of the "push" and that it
is time for yo to do some "pushing!"
That no community can stand still and be
called a live, living factor in the world's pro-
gress!
That the men of large affairs get tired of
harping to you about the duty you owe the com-
munity in which you live, and in which you are
vitally interested! ,
That you opght to know your duty without
being told about it continuously!
That selfish interest alone ought to majke you

in river navigation. This ean be dlone again,

grand old citizen, Sam H. Levingstone, a^>se
and in trembling voice expressed himself in
favor of the bfnd isstie and of deep water. He
said he had lived here inore than forty years
and most of that stime had been looking forward
to Orange becoming a seaport and he hoped! to
live long enough to take a ride on the first
OCean steamer that plonghcfd the waters of the;

No greater boon was ever bestowed upon the
people engaged in teaming and draying in Or-

ic citizens joined hatids and paved Main street
and its connection^ with Front street on

Orange has already sent three cargoes of lum-

mill wharves on the vessel that transported the
cargoes, without the aid of barges, and if, the
channel was deepened sufficiently to permit the
passage of larger vessels, cargoes of this kind

not only that, but these same vessels would be

Mr. W. H. Stark does not make any pretend
8ions as to oratory, but when he does reach
the point where he feels impelled to make a
speech, he says something that attracts atten-
tion and commands respect. The talk he made
at the deep water meeting the other dáy was
not long, but it was filled with wisdom and was
One of the most convincing speeches of the
meeting. Mr. Stark is deeply interested in the
movement for deep water and is enthusiastically
supporting the bond issue proposition.
