The mammoth Improvements which
for tome time past have been in process
OF construction at Sabine Pass are now
nearing completion, and within the
next few days the vast outlay of money
spent by the Southern Pacific will have
made Sabine Pass one OF the best
equipped ports in the United States.
Manager w. G. Van Week of the
Sunset informed a representative of
The Post yesterday that all arrange
ments would be perfected this evening
for the successful and expeditions
handling of the largest possible vol
ume of traffic and that on next Tues
day or Wednesday one of the Morgan
steamships would be loaded at Sabine
Pass.
Yesterday evening The Pot man
called upon Traffic Manager G. w.
Bein OF the Southern Pacific, and that
bis company, in fitting up Sabine Pass
as first-clsss port was to facilitate the
rapid movement of Morgan line
commerce. The Southern Pacific
was determined that freight
shipped by Morgan vessels would
not DE subject to one hours
unnecessary detention. and whether
their steamships sailed from Algiers or
Sabine Pass, or from both, the maxim
OF the company would be mo Delay
The enterprise was one OF business
pure and simple with the Southern Pa

place, and had merely taken the
precautiOn of having a sure ocean
outlet in case, from any cause or
restriction. Algiers should prove in
accessible or inadequate. That was all
there was to it, and now that it had
accomplished its purpose, and that it
had a choice of ports to ship from. the
Southern Pacific was prepared to trans
port by land or sea, in all seasons and
under all circumstances, the commerce
OF its patrons with safety, promptness
and ispatch.-HoustOn Post.
