VIEW OF ORANGE
A Wonderful Metamorphosis jrlas Occurredpn Fifth
Street as Shown by Picture.
There are people living in Orange
today who could 'hardly be made to
lu-iieye that Fifth street, the princi-
pal business street of tli« city now,
just a few years ago presented the
appearance as shown in the illustra-
tion on this page—but such is the
case.
Where now we have a nicely shelled
street lined with .brick buildings, with
cement sidewalks and brick and con-
crete curbing, a few years ago was an
unsightly marslv^jiross which a high
bridge being necessary, as shown in
the illustration.
If anyone has an idea in tlveir heads
that Orange has stood still ™d has
.not progressed within the past decáele,
a glance at this picture will be: sum
"cient to convince them of thejr error.
v Where the marsh is shown in the
picture with an enclosure filled with
old goods boxes and various kinds of
trash and junk, tio^y stands the Link
- Building No-f2, a\t>R50r ' =of ...mode r 11'
hrick storeí buildings.
Where tlie little shack on 'the right
just acrosS-!thc.'.bridge is''sh'tivtpn in
the picture now stands the Rein build-
ing, a substantial ,two'-stajA' brick,
from which building the-Leader is is-
sued.
The cottages on the left of the pic-
ture have been removed, the street
raised and paved with shell, and it
^presents a very different appearance
tenia y from what it did twelve or
fifte&ro'cars ago.
The old bridge that spanned the
marsh and the marsh itself are' bdth
things of the lia^t and belong to the
ancient histojry oF-Qr'ánge.
Through the' p,ublic>-$pirit of sotfie
of the owners qS. j>rop'erty on Fifth
street;" led by Mr. J. W. Link, this
street was filled and Shelled, the ex-
pense of this work being paid by the
property owners themselves.
* When Mr. Link purchased the lots
" on which the building _on the east
side of Fifth streef now stands, the
first thing he did was to put a crew
of men with teams' to work'filling in
the lots with ashes from the old Gil-
mer mill'refuse burner, and in a short
time the workmen were "engaged in
the" construction of- a brick" business
houses ot^. the lots. -.
The Leader reprints this old pic-
ture today as a sort of retrospect,
just.to impress upon the people that
Orange has made wonderful stride's
in the past and to impress -them also
with the fact that.it is necessary to
keep striving and pushing forward if
we would keep pace with the,march
of progress.
The appearance of Fifth street has
been metamorphosed and made béau'--
tiful through the public spirit and with
the private means of men owning
property on that street.
Other stre'ets in the city, however,
show just as great improvements.
these having been Wade .with . public
funds and these funds secured princi-
pally through bond 'issues voted for
the purpose by the people.
The lesson to be derived from this
illustration today is that the men who
want tó see Orange keeping right up
in front in the march of progress, and
who want to see her streets improv-
ed, graded and shelled, are the men
who will walk up to the polls and
cast their vote's in- favor of the bond
issue for street improvements.
Those men who are content to see
Orange remain- at a standstill and
who .would not he averse to having
conditions exist here such as shown
in this picture are the men who will
go to the polls and vote against the
t'et bond issue and who will do all
in uhJi power to. defeat the issuance
of boniK^for street improvement pur-
poses.'
Citizens of^^range, on which, side
are you lined, tip?'
Arc you for the bomls and for pro-
gress, or arc you against the bonds
and for stagnation and rftUnicipa!

that the Beaumont delegation had

Immediately upan receipt of the

These gentlemen stated that they
knew nothing of a'ny such guarantee

impossible- to secure the definite in-

The churches in Orange usually
make especial preparations for this
occasion1; particularly, in the way 'of
special music, and this Easter will lie

On account ..of the absence of the
postor, who is away 011 a Long vaca-

there will ffot.
There will be special Easter -un-

Mr. Outlaw, director of the. choir.-had

ORANGE'WAS VICTORIOUS
In Game Between Orange High
School and Vinton.
There was a large crowd witness-
ing the ball game between Orange
and Vinton, yesterday afternoon,
which grew very interesting after the
eighth inning and finally resulted in
a victory for the Orange team,bv the
score of 7 to 4."
Iti tlie eighth -inning., the score,
stood 4 to 2 in favor of Vinton, bul
Sfteeler and Massey came to the res-,
cile of the boys, and with the former's
pitching and the latfer's-catching and
some good hitting by. others the vic-
tory, was won in tlu; last iiming.
Perry, pitcher for the Vinton team,
did soniie spleffdid hitting, which did-
much' loWTrrd preventing a worse de-
feat' to his team.
Skceicr, pitcher for the Orange
tea'm, struck out thirteen- men, while
Perry, of the Vinton team, struck out
seyen men.
Luteher Stark is home from Austin
for a visit with his parents.
That the march' of progress in Or-
aiige goes steadily forward, regardless
of any, adverse .conditions, is being
demonstrated every day and that tl.ie
future of ()range is ass,tired is beyond
ipieslioii. • .
Not iii years" has a more important
atiii'ouncenicfíT' been made 'than that
conl,-titled in tji.e Leader- a few days
ago w-hen v.Nlr .W, II Stark made pub-
lie the annoftntcbicnt that he had
definitely decided Vi erect- on his pro-
perty ón Front slrKet a handsome,
■inoijeriii iiirtfproof bienes'—block, to
be constructed ofr concrete and steel
hollowing o'n the lleeKs of this. ¿11
noiincement came ' ail Q titer fpplii
Messrs. iMlwards & mirk.'t^t, otvnftj
of pro|)iirty adjoining tW Stiirk prop-*
erty. that fliVy, too. wotrtil tear down
the rdd buildings standiiV'" 011 their
properly and erect thcreoiiXV building
similar to that of Mr. StaVkV^oncr£te
and steel, .- nil fire-proof iKVbtiglibut.
The Stark block will.'.have h- front-
age on 1'ront street of 109 feet and á
depth of 80, feet. This building will
lie' two, stories in height, the upper
story \icing built for large, modern
and airy offices.
Tlip lower floor will be constructed
so that it can be thrown into one l)ig
store or make three, or four stores,
having iron columns so placed that
the partitions ..can be erected wher-
ever .required, the . partition walls to
lio of., hollow iTle construction.
The lower floor Will have modern
plate glass fronts, with onyX base,
making an exceedingly handsome ex-
terior. -
The Edwards and Burkart b.tiTR
ings are to be erected.,on the .same
general plans. „
The erection of these buildings
will make a solid brick and concrete
block of bitildings on th,e south side
of .l'roiit street from Fifth to Fourth
with Ihe exception of the building on
the- corner of Front and I'Viurth, own-
ed by. the Blaiiil heirs and occupied
by the Deep Water salmon. ,
The old frame buildings thai? will
be ^torn down to make room for/these
moder;v fifé-proof buildings arV/about
all that is left of the old Orjíige,. and
when these are gone tlie Orange of
the pioneer days will be a thing of tin-
past Much interesting history is
connected with these obi buildings,
hi the years that have gone by they
ivere the center of business activity in
Orange,'and ft tremendous volume of
business has been transacted therein.
Favorably located, tlii„ property
has always been very valuable and
has always brouglit good returns to
the owners, but for years past it has
presented a wry*unattractive appear-
ance. •
It is with, a feeling of sincere pleas-.
lire that the citizens of .Orange read.,
tile announcement that file old "wood-
en shacks were, to disappear and that
modern fire-proof buildings would
take their .plape.
Gradually, these evidences of the
ejirly days have given way to modern
Ihoss nietiv'ds and now only a few -
wopijen btii|ili|igs are left in the busi-
>iess part of tjhe city. ,
... The ereepon of these spleiyli,(|s
ThtildingSj^fi Front street should"" b<r *
followed by an effort by the city alt
thorities to liaVe Front' and Fifth
streets, in the business district, paved '
wit IT vitrified brick or asphalt. The
time has come when Orange must
get out of the old- rut and begin to
take care .of the traffic that burdens
her business streets'. . The shell pav-
ing is good, but it is licit permanent
and a constant expenditure is neces- .
sary to kc'ep it in good condition.
. The traffic is .constantly increasing
and a pavement is now absolutely
necessary.
