Canal and Sabine Peee—Acting Un-
der Orders from Congress.
y
As per previous announcement, an
Inspection of the Neches and Sabine
rivers, the Sabine lake canal, the Port
Arthur canal and Sabine Pass, was
made yesterday by the Board of En-
gineers assigned for that duty by the
War Department, in compliance with
a resolution by Congress authorizing
this to be done.
The Board of Engineers making the
Inspection consisted of Col. D. W.
Lockwood, chairman; Major E. E.
Winslow. Captain W. J Barden and
Mr. A. H. Weber, assistant engineer
and secretary, the board being accom-
panied by Capt. W. P. Wooten, en
gtneer In charge of this district, and
Capt. F. F Axtf 11. assistant engineer,
directing the work at Sabine Pass
The inspection trip was begun from
Beaumont, the Orange committee, con-
sisting of Messrs. George W. Bancroft.
B F Brown. A L Ford and Sam W.
Levingston, going over on the morn
ing train.and Joining the Beaumont,
Por; Arthur and Sabine committees
there.
The trip was made on the house
boat LaSalle, towed by ‘ the Myrick
tug Viva. Walter Myrick giving hi*
personal attention to the safety of
the boats.
The LaSalle is a commodious and
palatial houseboat, luxuriantly for-
' nlshed and supplied with every com
fort Of home. Mayor Emmett Fletcher
of Beaumont, assisted by George W.
Winter, secretary of the Beaumont
Cb am hereof Commerce. acted as host,
and an idea! host he is. too.
Cooled with electric fans, with
snowy beds on which to repose, com-
fortable chairs on which to lounge
and the larder stocked with good
things the boat was prepared for
solid comfort and every member of
the party enjoyed every minute of
th«-lr stay on board
Down the Neches river and through
the canal, the engineers made note of
the surrounding*! and in an informal
wav were supplied with an abundance
of information that will assist them In
arriving at a recommendation. No for-
mal hearing was had. Colonel lock
wood stating that he preferred for all
statistical information to filed with
the secretary, to be grone over bv the
hoard in their office* In Washington.
After iuissSng through the harbor
at Port Arthur and seeing the great
ship* taking on and discharging cargo
there, the trip «a» continued through
the Port Arthur ship canal, and during
this start of the Journey a bounteous
luncheon was served on board the
boat
At Sabine Pass the party were
transferred to the magnificent sea go-
ing utg Security, owned by the Secur-
ity OH company, and continued the

Tonight at the Orange theater, the
concert that was given last Friday
night by Miss Julia Grace Kincaid and
local talent for the benefit of the
Woman'* Home Mission Society, will
be repeated with several additional
numbers on the program.
The readings and impersonations by
Miss Kincaid will be changed, an en-
tire new line of selections being given.
The song, "Life Is a See-Saw," will
be agalir given, and in a more effec-
tive manner, even than last Friday
night, when this feature was the hit
of the evening.
"The Drummer Song," a new attrac-
tion will be one of the features to-
night. This is a decidedly novel and
original number and will be well
worth the while.
s "Reveries of a Bachelor,” will also
be repeated, this time in a more im-
pressive and effective manner than
heretofore.
Miss Kincaid and the ladies In
charge of the concert promise an even-
ing of pleasing entertainment and if
the affair of last Friday night can be
taken as a criterion, the attendance
tonight should be large and every seat
in the auditorium occupied when the
curtain rises. .
