to whom the work could be entrusted he
was perfectly willing 10 go on and install

Dcwey's Home Is Decided TO the Son
of the Admiral.
Washington, November 21- George
Goodwin Dewey, Admiral Dewey's only
son. is now the owner of the residence
presented TO the admiral by the American
people. Papers were prepared and signed
today by which Mrs. Mildred Mclean Dew
oy transferred all rights and titles to the
property known rs No. 1747 Rhode Island
avenue, this city, to George Goodwin Dow
oy This is the property which yesterday
Admiral Dewey transferred to Mrs. Dewey.
The papers making the new transfer prob
ably Will be placed on file tomorrow morn
ing.
In explanation OF the transaction prac-
tically completed today, ID relative OF the
Dewey family made this statement to tho
Associated Press: Admiral and Mrs. Dew
oy have transferred TO the formers son,
George Goodwin Dewey. the title to the
home presented TO the admiral by the peo-
pie of this country. 1t will continue to be
the home of the admiral and Mrs Dewey
so long as he may live II may be desir-
able now TO say that it was the wish OF
both the admiral and Mrs. Dewey to pro-
vide for proper succession 10 the prop
erty. The transfer OF today completes
the transaction begun Yesterday and is
the carrying out only OF the original in.
tention of both the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey BY all those interested in the
matter, the method of transfer adopted
was considered the best and safest thar
could have been adopted. II is to be con-
sidered. naturally. that the transfer was
TO be the act of Mrs. Dewey as we'll as
the admiral. II was her desire that she
should release any claim she might have
TO the property through her marriage to
the admiral, and to this end the transfer
was made through her to the admiral's
son as soon as 1t was practicable. Through
the method adopted no dispute ever can
arise over the disposition OF the prop
erty."

Rain lis of Great benefit To Both the

Elgn, Texas. November 9i.-The finest
rain for many years fell here Sunday;
tanks and cisterns were filled and all
steems we're up; this rain will be of
great value TO farmers and stockmen;
grass is growing rapidly and should the
weather remain warm till January there
will be the finest winter pasturage for
years.
Farmers here will plant a great deal
of small grain this year and the rain
has put land in fine condition for fail
blowing.
Cotton is about all gathered and mar
keted; the high price of some time back
caused nearly all of the cotton in the
country to be placed on the market and
the result is that farmers arc in a much
better financial condition than for years
past
