ATTRACTIVE ESTABLISHMENT
Suburban Grocery Store of Thoe. C.
Ford, One of the Boat in Orange.
The Leader reporter had occasion
yesterday to drop into the suburban
grocery store of Cates Ford, on Bor-
der street, and was surprised to find
such an attractive and elegantly ar-
ranged grocery establishment.
The store has just been painted, in-
side and out, thoroughly renovated,
and a new arrangement of the interior
made that adds much to the conven-
ience of the store, as welt as to its
appearance.
Mr. Ford stated that, pursuing his
plan of providing his customers with
only the best and freshest groceries,
he has purchased for the fall trade
the nicest line of canned goods ever
brought to Orange.
He is now receiving new shipments
of canned gooda. condiments and sta-
ples. all of which neatly arranged on
the shelves, with everything new and
clean, presents an attractive appear
ance to the eye.
Adjoining his sales room, Mr. Ford
has a commodious warcroom, in
which he carries his heavy goods and
surplus stock. In this also is his spe-
cially constructed flour room, screen-
ed in so that rats, flies nor anything
else can get to the floor, which thus
goes from his store to the customer
absolutely clean and uncontaminated
Mr Ford has recently added an ex-
tra delivery wagon to his equipment,
especially to care for hurry-up orders
that cannot be handled promptly by
the regular delivery outfit.
He is building up a splendid trade
by carrying good goods, being satis
fieri with small profits, giving prompt
service and devoting the same careful
attention to the smallest order that
he does to the largest.
It is not often that a suburban
grocery is found as neatly kept, or
that carries as large and varied a
stock of clean, fresh, up-to-date goods
as this one. and that this is appreci-
ated by the people is demonstrated in
the constantly increasing lf»t of peo-
ple in all parts of the city who make
this store their regular trading head-
quarters
Talking Machine Dealer
Fred Petmecky, of Austin, of the
Petmecky company, state agents of
the Victor Talking Machine, is in the
city today, calling on his customers,
and U at W P McFarland's this af-
ternoon Mr Petmecky was the in-
ventor several years ago of the Pet-
mecky needle, which was a very sim-
ple attachment for making the music
more distinct and doing away with
the scratching sound which detracted
so much from the music Mr Pet-
mecky sold his patent for a large sum.
Since then all the manufacturers of
records have adopted the idea in mak-
ing the records, Mr Petmecky will
leave for Lake Charles on the night
train.
Come in any time and talk to us

that need replacing.

The Yellow Pine Paper Mill com
pany directors held a very important
meeting yesterday and after receiv
ing bids from nearly all the exten-
sive electric companies of the coun-
try, contracted for the necessary ma-
chinery for the power and light plant
for the new enlarged paper mill.
There were present special repre-
sentatives of the following manufac-
turers: General Electric Co., Allis*
Chalmers Electric Co., Western Elec-
tric Co., Erie City Iron Works
Wheeler Condenser and Engineering
Co., and Westinghouse Electric Co.,
and then there were a number of bids
by letter.
Late in the afternoon, after careful
consideration of the different bids,
the contract was awarded to the
Westinghouse company, which is sec-
ond to none in the country
The contract cover* an 800 K W.
turbine and generator, a LeBlanc
condenser, a turbine exciter, forty or
more motors, and everything which
goes to make up a complete and up-
to-date power and light plant of
1.000 horse-power capacity, the whole
costing, that is for the machinery
and electric equipment, about $35,000.
The contract calls for the delivery
here in about seventy-five days, at
w hich time it is the calculation of the
management of the mill company to
have the house and everything else
in readiness to install the machinery
without delay. The plant will lie lo-
cated at a point on thg river front
between the two Lutcher & Moore
Lumber company’s mills, the purpose
being to have the power plant where
the waste coming out of the mills
can be used as fuel right from the
slab-conveyers, without the expense
of hauling. This item of saving in
the fuel alone will be an immense ad-
dition to the profits of*the paper mill
The plans for the enlargement of
the paper mill, its rebuilding to three
time* its present capacity, are going
on The present capacity of the plant
ten tons a day, and the increased
capacity is to be thirty tons. New
boilers are already received, and en
tire new machinery already described
these columns, will begin to arrive
here soon after the first of October,
when the work of rebuilding the en-
tire plant will be pushed rapidly to
completion.
The Yellow Pine Paper Mill Co
has been not only the success of Or-
ange. hut one of the big things of
Texas. It is pointed to not only a*
a successful new enterprise, but as
one of the most profitable, and one
of the most valuable to Texas, a* it
has demonstrated the success of
venture in hitherto un«xplored fields,
the manufacture of paper of fine qual-
ity from a material so abundant and
before unthought of—pine shavings
The success will no doubt suggest
and induce other mills for the manu-
facture of paper from pine shavings
and also from rice straw. In fact, at
Beaumont a movement is now under
way to establish a paper mill of large
capacity, and at'Houst on parties have
tent rice straw to Eastern mills, fol-
lowing successful experiments in rice
straw at the Orange mill, and it is
now believed rice *tr»w can be sue
cessfully used in the manufacture of
an even finer grade of paper than the
pine But the Yellow Pine Paper Mill
Co. is the pioneer* and) has the honor
of a monumental success to it* credit.

INTERCOASYALCANAL
SURVEY IS BEING MADE BY
CAPT. F. P. AXTELL, OF U.
S. ENGINEERING CORPS.
He Is Now Surveying the Route From
Sabine River Out Conway’s Bayou,
Thence Across County to Calcasieu
River and on to Lake Charles.
Capt. F. F. Axtell, United States
engineer stationed at Port Arthur, is
now at Orange with his corps of six
men, making headquarters here while
they are surveying this section of the
intercoastal canal.
Capt. Axtell is now surveying the
river, beginning at its mouth. He
will survey up to the mouth of Con-
way’s bayou, three or four miles be-
low Orange. When he reaches the
mouth of Conway’s bayou, he will
proceed up that bayou for two miles
or so, and then across country, via
the lowest point to Bayou Choupique,
thence to Calcasieu river and on to
Lake Charles.
This is the route which is favored
by Orange and, it is believed, by Lake
Charles, as affording the best and
most direct waterway.
Capt. Axtell is expecting to have
this part of the route surveyed in
time to make partial report to the
intercoastal canal convention which
meets at Corpus Christi the latter
part of October.
Capt. Axtell and party are stopping
at the Riverside Hotel.
The opera season was opened in
Orange at the opera house last night
by one of the best companies on the
road, and with a play which has few
superiors in strength, plot and heart
interest. It was deserving of a much
better house than that which greeted
the company here last night.
The play is from the novel by that
name, ’’Graustark,” written by Geo.
Barr McCutcheon. Graustark is the
capitol of one of the Prussian prin-
cipalities, and the play abounds in ro-
mance and perilous situations, and
there is no lack of appropriate scen-
ery and rich costumes, going to make
Up a splendid stage effect. The artists
rendering the several parts were fully
equal to the requirements of the play-
wright. Maurice E. Brierre, Jr., as
the wealthy young American, was an
ideal hero of McCutcheon's clever
story, and Isabell MacGregor as the
Princess Yetive acted well the role
of the heroine, and was just the girl
to cause a panic among princes and
an American would win. Harry An-
guish, the American’s friend, was
well cared for by Clyde F. McCabe,
while the bewitching Countess Dag-
mas, lady-in-waiting to Princess Ye-
tive, was reflected by the clever act-
ing of Ethel Gray. All the other
parts were in capable hand*.
The splendid music furnished by
the orchestra under the leadership of
Prof. Cohen was in itself a great
treat, and if kept up to the standard
maintained throughout last night’s
performance, the entertainments at
the opera house will be well worth
the money at any time.
The management of the opera
house is deserving of the thanks of
the patrons, and expressions were

But No Fish.
A party of fishermen who went
down on the launch Nicholaus last
evening didn’t catch any fish, but the
norther caught them just as they had
donned their bathing suits and were
preparing to cast their net. So it was
voted to return home, after a scuffle
in the water to get the boat off the
mud.
In the party were' H. W. Pruter,

appointment, to demonstrate the Vic-

nection with the phonograph. The
Victroia made its first advent in Or-

attracted by it. This wonderful ma-
chine is far superior to the ordinary
phonograph, making such a perfect
reproduction of sound that one can
hardly believe their own eyes while
they listen with admiration to the
reproduction of the finest band music
as well the most noted singers on

Mr. Petmecky has with him the
