This venture seems to have been
| conceived with special regard TO the
prospective increase of the business
ana population OF Dallas. The mana
gers OF the News are too prudent
and sagacious TO invest money
IN Dallas with the hope OF all
sorblng the patronage which now sup
ports THE HERALD; and certainly
there will have TO DO very largo in
crease Of patronage to support two
Guch papers. The object ofthe News,
as stated by that paper, is to be in the

anticipated events and to aid
IN their development. The

! DARK DAY FOR DALLAS.
When that fight at Dallas begins, we
are going to climb up one of our own
oak trees and silently watch the fight,
bus our sympathy will go out TO the
paper that is fighting for its
own home and fireside. We
are nearly always for the
little fellow in scrimmage and
always against the invader of another's
territory. The News will nave hard
fight before it, il and II would succeed IL
should move the whole concern and
come TO Dallas, not ss an invader,
but az emigraut seeking q place
gentlemen, it is your fight
not onrs-lay on, do your best and
make the fight rs interesting as pos
slble TO those who detes5 personalities
and guerrilla warfare. It's none of
our business, but it will be bad day
| for Dallas when she downs the paper
that has grown up with her, fought
her battles and looked after her inter
ests and takes up with an alien and Il
stranger TAlvarado Bulletin.
HOW ABOUT SABINE PASS?

that the work has been
done on favorable contracts, aud,

believes chat u channel of % TO 30 feet
