Commissioners Court.
The county commissioners cburt
held . a -session today. \!
Most of the time' was spent in
checking oyer some reports and aud-
iting accounts. ' V
A resolution was passed extending
to Mr. J. W. Link the thanks of the
court for courtesy extended yester-
day in taking the entire court over
to Beaumont in his auto, giving them
an opportunity to inspect the road
in this county and the one beyond the
river, which road'they intended to ask
Jefferson cdunty t«| raise and com-
plete. :
Judge Sholars said they had a de-
lightful trip, enjoyed it very much,
and secured some mighty good prom-,
ises from the Jefferson court. The
judge said this route is only' 24.4
miles from Orange to iBeaumont,
while the upper route, now most used,
is forty miles. 1
The commissioners also attended
the hearing by the Jefferson com-
missioners of the application for an
election for deep • water bonds, for
the deepening of the canal.

fidence we have
the record that in the>
the island is concéded to Louisiana
and Jfiles on a vacant strip "of land,
There from Orange residents, have
been ."refused, ]$#;, ' ': f\
There is no controversy as to
which is the old river. The eastern
channel-is the old river, but. was it
the <?hannel at the time of the treaty
which placed the title to the land
"west of Sabine river" in Texas or
Mexico? The upper portion of the
eastern channel i« dry, filled with
drift and sand and cypres* trees of
four feet in* diameter are growing
where the bed of the river was, above
Niblett's Bluff. Below Niblett's
Bluff the water i« wide and deep and
navigable to that point from Orange.
The western channel is narrower
than the eastern, but 'deep, and is
known in this country ?s "The Nar-
rows." This channet has been the
main channel, since the oldest inhab-
itant can recollect.
Mr. C. F. Pannewitz, one of the
old residents of Orange, says that as
far back as he can "remember, or even;
heard still older residents speak, the
narrows has been the main channel
of the river, and upper third of the
old river bed has. been filled up and
grown up in timber. The island, he
said, is covered with a dense' growth
of timber ind undlerbrush.
County Treasurer Russell, who has
a pretty good knowledge of the isl-
and, says the narrows has been the
mjiin channel of the river for as far
back as he can remember. He also
states that there is fine growth of
cypress on the land and four foot
cypres^ in the old bed of the east
channel, which would indicate the
abandonment of that channel many
years ago. He says the und'ergrpwth
is so dense-—well, a snake, if he is
right slick, couid go through; but if
he should stop to swallow a rabbit
or a toad he would not be able to
make progress forward or backward.
Mr. Russell says that if .the narrows
was the main channel when the Unit
id States purchased Louisiana in 1803
from France, with the centre of the
river specified as the boundary, or
even in 1790 when a treaty between
Spain wd Franc.' fixed the east bank
as the boundary, the island would be
long to Louisiana. But if it can be
established that the cut off was since
that time—since the fixing of the
river as the line-~the island wpuld
belong to Texas. '
J. R. Turnbull, deputy county clerk,
says the island has been looked upon
by most old residents as Louisiana
territory. That he tried the land of-
fice at Austin, by filing on a vacant
tract of land of 1200 acres, but that
the land commissioner, turned it down
as beyond his jurisdiction. The land
office official map, he said, did not
claim the island for Texas.
Sheriff' R. M. Johnson hás known
the island find been familiar with the
"narrows" and the "old river" sijice
his early'boyhood. He *as not only
born here, but his father was born
five miles north of here, in 1824, with-
ing five miles of the narrows, and
as far ! back as "his father could re
member the narrows was the main
channel of the river. Mr. Johnson
says the narrows is too crooked to
have been formed by si ditch cut by
human hands; that there are two cut-
offs which were started by ditches,
the one .just south of town, where a
.cut-off a few hundreds yards long
saves boats five or six miles, and
the one above, by the way, on the
narrows, where a man named. Jackson,
before the Civil War, about 1850, cut
a ditch to float logs through and save
five miles of tortuous route, and this
was On the narrows) which was then
(in 1850) the main channel of the
river. This cut-off was enlarged and
used more extensively after the war
by McKihnon and Jackson . (a dif-
ferent Jackson than the one who first
made the cut-off in 1850). Mr. John-
son says that one of the treaties in
the latter part of the 18th century
(about 1798) made the west bank of
the Sabine the line of Louisiana,
which then embraced Missouri and
New Mexico, but that a later one,
probably when France sold to the
United States in 1803, the center of
the river was made the boundary,
with all 'natural islands belonging to
Louisiana. But this island in question
is npt a natural island, ' There is no
question but that the old river was

CRIMINAL ASSAULT
Young Man Arrested Down the River
For That Crime.
¿Él
■
Some weeks ¿go a young man who
is said to have committed an assault
on a young girl oVer in Louisiana,
spent several days in and around Or-
ange. He finally left here and went
down the river, stopping on Louisi-
ana saide on Black's Bayou. Yester-
day morning officers were in Orange
on his" track. Procuring a launch
they went down the river to Black's
Bayou,securing their man without any
trouble. The officers with their pris-
oner passed through Orange late in
the afternoon, taking the evening
train for Lake Charles.
It is said the unfortunate victim of
the young man is only 13 years of
age, whilp the young, man is but 19.
He is said to be guilty of a- crime
that will go hard with him on trial
in Louisiana. '
TAG DAY
SB SÜ 'j'.'v"' -. .
Waf Rained Out Just When the La-
dies Were Getting Good Start
Saturday afternoon late was to be
the best hours for the ladies in their
work of tagging Orangeites, btit the
rain drowned them out. However,
the rain was welcome, even by the
taggers.
The total receipts of the ladies was
nearly $60, which goes to a fund to-
ward, in some way yet undecided,
beautifying Orange.
Orange is, already a beautiful town,
with its well kept streets and great
wealth -of shade trees and lovely
flower yards; but there is more to be
done, and the Civic Club is going
to do it.

or three days, and he would be i-eady
to start work on the survey about

Mr. Sanders stated to a Leader
representative that the farming, which
is limited in that section, is in good
condition, but that fruit and truck
are the best investments. He said
apj>les do well there. He has apple
trees of the Lockhart variety, similar
to the Ben Davis in appearance, but
of better flavor, 12 or 14 years old,
and producing well. There arc also
prolific orange trees IS to 18 feet
