The cotton crop along Deer creek
seems in a general way a favored part
of the cotton belt this season. The
yield is turning out very satisfactorily.
The price is by far beyond the expecta-
ton of the farmers when the crops were
planted IN the spring. Fifteen and It.
cent cotton, with a fair yield, has a
tendency to pay debts and start the
wheels of fall business,

San Antonio's Profitable Fad.

Sidewalk building has become a
fad with the women Of San Antonio.
In the last monthly report by Chair
man Smith of the Sidewalks Com
mittee of the City council is seen the
result of any awakening of vic pride
among the women of this city. Al
most Eur miles of new cement side
walk is reported and the names
ahead of the various parcels are al
most all names of women They are
working hard for improvement OF the
city IN other ways, but their efforts in
behalf of sidewalks arc more nota-
bic and possibly more worthy than in
any other line.
With the women of San Antonio
working for all sorts OF civic i'm
provements and having the active
support of the city administration as
represented in the person of Alder
man Smith in behalf of sidewalks,
there viii be an era of improvement
in this city the like of which has not
been seen for many years.
For long time the various things
that prevented rapid construction Of
sidewalks in San Antonio were dis
couraging to persons who wanted to
see the city thus improved. But ev-
cry block of good walk laid has
served as an inducemeat for others,
until now it is not unusual to see one
block of sidewalk follow another in a
particular part of the city until
mile or more of good walk is found
continuously in place of a nile or
more of very bad walk of the month
before
Let us all keep on with this work.
Let's encourage all property owners
and the City Council in building side
walks so that before another year has
rolled around San Antonio will have
the best sidewalks in Texas and the
proudest women-as result of their
accomplishments in this line.
No better time than low can ever
be found for building more and bet
ter sidewalks and making .'aG Anton-
10 better city to live in.

FERTILIZER FOR ONIONS.
Bulletin By Texas Experiment Sta
ton, of Value to Valley Plant

College Station, Texas, Jan. %
In his bulletin on commercial fertili-
zers, just issued, Dr. G. S. Traps,
chemist of the Texas Experimental
station at the A. and NJ. College of
do, Texas. use fertilizers for onions:
1.-The onion growers around Lare-
do Texas, use fertilizers containing
s per cent phosphoric acid, to per
cent nitrogen and 5 to per cent
potash, at the rate of 1000 to 1000
pounds per acre. Many onion growers
of New York prefer a fertilizer con-
tanning per cent phosphoric acid,
per cent nitrogen and ten per cent
potash at the rate of 1000 to 1000
pounds per acre. We doubt if such
large quantities of potash are need
ed in Texas. The New York Expert
ment station conducted an expert
ment lasting four years to ascertain
the most profitable quantity of fer
tilizer to use for onions They used
different quantities of a fertilizer
containing per cent phospohoric
acid, 4 per cent nitrogen and ten per
cent potash The fertilizer cost
$5.47 per 500 pounds. The increase
of fertilizer from 500 to 1000 pounds
increased the crop of onions 1000
pounds at a cost of So cents per hun
dred The increase from 1900 to
1000 pounds caused an increase of
only 400 pounds of onions at cost
of sLS6 per hundred. The New
York station concluded that 500
pounds of fertilizer was the most
profitable quantity.
"Mr. T. C. Nye, near Laredo, states
that he used cottonseed meal for on
ions at the rate of 1900 pounds per
acre with very satisfactory results.
Considering the fact that the soils of
Laredo are pretty we'll spilled with
phosphoric acid an6 potash and can
furnish some to the plant. it is not
a matter of surprise that cottonseed
meal alone should give such excel
lent results"
This bulletin is very interesting
and will be sent to any one who
makes application for it.

for Isabel and Tarpon Beach. About
one hundred and forty people came
up from Brownsville on the Rio
Grande lightning limited to pass the
day in these sunny, salubrious, soft,
breeze-kissed, salt laden, health bear
ing pleasure places.
At five o'clock. just as the train
started from the depot for Browns
vile, an interesting boat race enliv-
ened the scenes of the bay. Four
boats were in the race, the Jaunita,
Tomasita, Esperanza and the Uno,
the last named being a new boat just
launched and belonging to Cobolini
brothers.
There was a fair breeze from the
east and the race was from the pier
to Brazos and back
From the start it was evident that
race was between the Concha and the
Uno, and at little after six O'Clock
the Concha closely followed by the
Uno. rounded the head of pier and
won the event by a span.
Cobolihis boat behaved surpris-
ingly well and won the admiration
of many beholders of the regatta,
Another race is wished for by all
who witnessed the regatta yesterday.

Otis Young and wife of Browns
vile, were welcome visitors here
Sunday
Quite number of visitors went to
see the graves and exposed bones of
the soldiers buried here during the
Mexican war of 1857, Sunday and
many were the expressions of sur
prise on beholding the gruesome
sights. If the United tSates govern
ment, has a record of these dead it
should look after them at once, and
if it has no record then the authori-
ties should begin to make one-ot
least by showing regard for the he
roes whose uncared for ashes are
prey to the weather and to vandal-
like relic hunters.
The state of Texas should feel a
very great interest in these dead of
Taylor's army, for by the results of
that war in which they were engaged
when death overlook them, Texas
was extraordinarily benefited.

interested in the actions of Mr.. Del

at the contents of several packages
which were brought over from the

had in those packages. Mr. Delling
replied that he supposed that they
were personal belongings of the per-
sons carrying them. The stranger
walked away a few PAGES and still
continued watching the inspectors ac-

approached. the inspector with the
same query and was given the same
answer. Finally his curiosity could
stand it no longer. Again approach
