Secretary of Navy Tells Why He Re-
 fuses to Accept.

Baltimore Special
 Charles J. Bonaparte, Secretary of the Navy. today gave the first definite statement for publication in reference to the acceptance of railroad trans portation while occupying public of flee
 MT Bonaparte refused to criticise those who accept such transportation. laughingly saying that was a matter of individual views. For himself, how ever, he was positive that he could not conscientiously accept transportation from railroads and at the same time occupy his present important position. He said:
 My refusal. to accept the passes sent me was not intended as a reflection either on the railroads whose officers rendered me this courtesy, or on other public officials, whose opinions on this subject may differ from mine. I recog- nize that many can see no objectoin to the acceptance of passes. I think otherwise, and, without criticising oth- CTS, must act for myself. on my own convictions.
 I do not care to discuss the subject further, except to say that I have all ways thought it wise and right for a public opinion. when 1t does not con- tradict the promptings Of his own con science, and 1 believe public opinion does approve the course I have taken in this respect.

light and when 1t does rain. 1t rams for few days and then ceases TOT months. If the rain was more equallS distributed irrigation would be uhhec- essary, but as it is, 1t must be oone. We have been in San Antonio now two weeks, 1t has been cloudy for four days. looks like 1t might rain, put about o'clock each evening the gun breeze blows up and. drives the ram clouds away and the night is clear and cool. The corn is in good shape, now ever, and the crop is made, If It did not rain any more this summer. when 1t does rain. 1t pours. and soaks the ground good. Farmers who take great delight in their vocation. irrigate their land and thereby raise good crops each year.
 It was our pleasure to spend few hours on the Collins farm. F. F. Col lins. the owner. up to year ago. was one of San Antonios manufacturers and implement dealers, but four years ago he purchased 1S0 acres of land, one and a half miles from the center of San Antonio at very low figure. At the time of the purchase the land was covered with mesquite trees and prickly pear cactuses: in fact 1t was so thickly grown up that they could not get the wolves out of 1t. nor the rattlesnakes. MT. Collins at a cost of $10 per acre had the farm cleared leav- ing nothing but the black loam. At the further end of the farm he dug out and banked up his fish pond. and then sunk his artesian well which has a capacity of 2,500.0O0 gallons of wa
 ter every day.
 About 300 feet from the fish pond he built a very fine two-story house. modern in every respect and finely fur nished. Around the house laid out his walks and fiower-beds, and near by he planted his peach and pear orchard. About 100 feet in front of the house the farm proper begins making mac adamized roadway along the side Of the farm. and main ditch for his frri- sating alongside of this road every $50 feet is a lateral ditch which con- veys the water alongside the different
 plots of ground Water gates are put in the main ditch wherever a lateral starts out, and every fifty feet in the lateral water gates are put in. In this manner he is able to let the water run down the rows of whatever is planted. Rotation of crops is planted
 Mir. Collins is able to raise from three to five crops each year on his farm of 1 80 acres. He always raises five crops of bunch vegetables, three crops of green corn: always starting with one crop of Texas Bermuda onions. The farm the past two years has netted him over $10O per acre. And 1t Is bet ter than a. First National Bank, and there Is more pleasure obtained look ing after such farm than any bank
 ing or mercantile interest It takes from one to three men to tend every five acres according to the crop. La
 bor in Texas Is very reasonable. 75 cents a day, and laborers board them
 selves. The Collins farm is one of the greatest places of interest around his torical San Antonio. Farmers from the North, East and West whenever they are touring Texas, and are in San Antonio never fai to visit this farm where they can see and study ir- rigation.-C. A. Kurtze in Indiana Farmer.

Deputy Sberiffs of Jefferson County Raid Crap Games and Capture Twenty-fOur NegrOes-JOhn
 Elum Will Die.

Birmingham, July 16.-(Special.)- "A constant stream of people visited tho undertaking establishment here to- day to view the body of Dan McBee, the highwayman who yester- day was shot to death by officers while attempting to make way with sack of money containing over $5,000. taken from the paymaster of the Sloss- -Shef- field Steel and Iron Company, near Flat Top Mines, in the western part of Jefferson County.
 The body was laid out on the cooling board the breast punctured in several places by the shot from the officer 8 guns being open for view.
 T. M. McBee, who works at the Flat Top Mines. was at the undertaking g rooms for some little time today and he watched the curiosity on the part of the citizens with much wonder. From him it was learned that Dan was wild young man of late. He was separated from his wife and child, who live near Cordova, in Walker County. His moth CT and father live about four miles from Horse Creek, while uncles of his reside at Jasper and Cordova and are highly respected people.
 Frank Gafford, Superinte tendent of the Flat Top Mines, was in the city today and reported that while the second highwayman had not been caught, d good description of him was in possess sion of the officers and there were hopes that he would be apprehended later on. .-:
 There appears to be no doubt but that Mckee had planned the robbing of the paymatser for some little time. Not only had he told other men that there was an easy way of making good sum of money, but intimated that he was going to make the effort The Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company were fully advised that the attempt would be made yesterday.
 It is related here that Dan McBee was executor for an estate, and that he had spent the money belonging to an heir. A bond company had made good the loss and had called on McBee to refund them or stand consequences. The story goes that McBee had prom ised to pay on the 4th of July. but on that day he said, T will certainly pay tie S2,00O on the evening of July 10th.
 McBee was vet Il young man, hardly over 32 years of age. His remains will be disposed Of according to the wishes of his parents ~r.

Guide strips must be used to connne the walk to straight or regular lines. These strips of 1x4 or Ike laths should be laid down by careful measurement. When the foundation has begun to set then put on one inch of topping, made of two parts clean sand and one part cement. Rub the fresh surface repeat edly with a trowel to give a nara. smooth finish. When this surface has set, keep 1t moist for several days. lay

 These directions will enable any far mer or stockman to put down per manent walk or floor If common sense be used in doing these simple things. The most durable results may be in sured by repeatedly working over and mixing the cement with other ingre- dients, while all are dry, then wetting slowly while still working and apply ing in place quickly, before particles begin to set.
 These concrete walks are commonly called cement walks" After some
 unpleasant experience, we can advise that less expensive concrete can be

 should be placed every three feet, and the mixture placed in these by belts to insure proper levels and make the work uniform In all its parts. The scantling used must be straight to permit "strik- ing off' to a plane surface Floors that are expected to receive water frequent ly, or that require many washings, must be laid with a fall of 1-2 or inches to every ten feet.
