Longtime Comanche Chief Subscriber Is P Lee
P Lee, a northwest Gomanche resident near the city water reservoir, has reportedly held The Comanche Chief subscription for 61 years. The 85 year old Texan born in Red River County and married to Louisa Wortham discusses his early barter for a year’s access in 1892, work to pay for it, and his life in Gustine before moving to Comanche County.

Isabel the causeway barge set for public crossing debut
The Lees family story frames a bridge project bridging Laguna Madre with a concrete causeway two miles long. Cameron County plans a swing bridge beside Port Isabel to clear marine traffic while Isabel the barge vessel is prepared with a crew and roadway conversion for the crossing.
New Texas Resort Planned for Port Isabel
Isabel the steel barge, built in Tell City Indiana, will tow down the Ohio and Mississippi then through the Intercoastal Canal to Port Isabel Texas. There it will lead a $2,500,000 causeway linking Padre Island to the mainland as part of a broader plan to make South Padre a premier year round resort. Cameron County funds the project while a multi million dollar park program is drawn up for the island.
