Aransas Pass, Texas, under the act of March 3, 1879.
FRIDAY, June 25, 1909
Our enterprising friends over at the very enterprising little
town of Aransas Pass, on the mainland, are entitled to all the
deep water they can get, and we hope they will get a good
deal. If they will dig deep enough they may strike an artesian
flow.—Corpus Christi Caller.
Aransas Pass is very thankful for having at lafst received
the permission of the Caller t6 dig a few channels. A careful
perusal of that paper of late would lead one to believe that the
government would possibly spend about twelve millions of
dollars taking some deep water to Corpus Christi, but since
work has begun on the Aransas channel the practicability of
taking the deep water direct to the mainland at a cost of aboifi:
one tenth the amount, has shown the outside world a few
things heretofore unthought. A recent visitor to this city
from Corpus Christi, a very prominent booster, too, by the
way, is quoted as follows: “For thirty-five years I have long-
ed and expected to see my home town made a sea port city.
In the work that' is being done here today, the efforts that are
being made to bring usable water right into your city, I see
the downfall of my hopes of thirty.five years.” As has been
heretofore said in these columns, there is an intense jealously
of the new city shown by some of the business men of the
sister city. Some of them, wholesalers, have all but declined
to sell to merchants opening stocks at this place, and it is sel-
dom a toursist who visits the two places, is not told, before
his arrival at Aransas, things which have a tendency to dis-
courage, and are vyithout a semblance of truth. The Progress
maintains that What is good for Aransas Pass, is good also for
Corpus Christi, for Rockport, Portland and every other town
that is along Aransas, Red Fish or Corpus Christi Bays. It is
the prediction that one day a city shall be spread along from
Rockport to Corpus Christi, and that any development of the
harbor, of the jetty work, of the channels built to the mainland
at any place, will be ultimately beneficial to one and all alike.
HIKIH
William Clendenin, who has charge of the advertising and
boosting campaign now being waged by San Antonio, urges
San Antonio to lend her assistance in every way to the de-
t of the sea port at Aransas Pass. It is very plain to
see the advantages San Antonio would gain by having an ac-
cessible deep water port at this point, and there is no doubt
she may be depended upon in every possible way for as-
sistance and moral support in the great development work.
With a nearby port through which her export shipments might
be made, water rates almost at her very door, making for that
city aper fuel, supplies and commodities of every kind, it
will make her a city of factories more than has ever been
known, lend a vivacious spirit to her varied business interests
and the increased business of San Antonio will incidentally be
of some worth to the deep water city.

time in the near future to see if the
people would be willing to vote
bonds. No civilized community
was ever built up as it should be
without adequate schools and
churches, and at the rate Aransas
Pass is building up, a school house
of large proportions will be de-
manded before the next term.
With a ready market for the bonds
when issued, to say nothing of the
magnificent bonus which has been
offered, Aransas Pass should make
itself very . busy to secure advan-
tage of this great opportunity
thrown directly in its path.
Isn't This True?
“Running a newspaper is just
like running a hotel, only different.
When a man gets into a hotel and
finds things on the table which
does not suit him, he does not
raise hades with the landlord and
tell him to stop his old hotel. Well,
hardly. He sets that aside and
wades intfp the dishes that suit
him. It is different with some
newspaper readers. They find
