on 1ly 2 : the Interveners wore allowed to
remain In court. Neither 5iIL' seemed willing .
Ing to concede an Inch. Arguments were
made and the case taken under alvlwment !
until June P. when the case was decIded In
favor at the canal project. Th intervenor. .
wore dlsmlsse,1 from the Bull.
I Is from this or.lr.r . putting them out of
the care that the Interveners appealed to the
supreme court. The written argumcnts which
Mesus. Orutt and POPllleton have fell In
. behalf ot their clients In tll appeal case arc
advanced ! for the purpose of slowlng that
after onCe having been admitted 10 the case
the Intcrvenors had a right to remain there
and should not have bn disiniased. After
dilating on this proposition the intervener .
assaIl the canal law on the same ground as
asai
that taken before the district ! bench , though
they go much more Into deb ls.

that the county board , having refused to call

While all small fruits do splendidly In
this fertile region ti there Is one among
all others for which our land Is pre-cml-
nently fanicAis. Thousands oC acres are devoted -
voted to Its cultivation , and the strawberry
Is now shipped not by the dozen crates or
by the carload alone , but by special train-
loads. In tact more strawberries are grown ,
shipped anti sold In the Orchard Homes re
gion , than on any other equal area In the
world.
In thIs eglon there Is no trouble with the
"crown-borer , " which destroys the plants
In Illinois and Missouri when only two
years old , and strawberry fields from five
to ten years old are not uncommon. There
itt no trouble with the "rusl" and "blight"
which arc so common In northern felds ,
and. our plants never surer from the cold of
winter and are wonderfully productve ! .
Some fields have been known to yield as
much as 100 crates annually for many
years , with no cultivation whatever beyond
time mowing ot I heavy crop of hay In the
late summer , while with propper care and
cultivation a yield of 100 bushels per acre
Is not uncommon. First ph1pments , are usu.
ally made In March , and the fruit continues
aly contnues
to ripen In quanty until June , whlo occasional -
casional pickings are often foUnt ! much later
In till season Dr. McKay , the largest grower .

CHICAGO , Scpt 7.-The freight ofcials
of the western roads are generaly feeling
highly encouraged over the outlook for bus.
mess this fall . They are feeling so confident -
dent that they will have 1 great amount of
business to handle that a strong effort will
probably be made In the near future to revive -
vive the Western Trunk Line comnmnittee .
which went to pieces a short time ago The
mmlUee was allowed to lapse because the
volume ot business was so lght that some
of the roads would not put themselves In a
< <
position wherc they were likely to bo debarred -
barred from making an effort to secure as
much oC It as possible. When In a com-
mitten agreement they would be compelled
to take whatever , percentage the agreement
allowed to them , and this they were not
willing to' do. Now he amount of trmJTlc In
Sight Is so large that there Is a disposition
to revive the committee and prevent the
rates from going to a point whtre the roads
wi be likely to lose the best opprtunity
they have had for many a month to recoup
themselves for the reduced earnings they
have faced so long. A circular looking to
the revival ot the commiee has been In
circulation among the western roads for some
time. I has received so many signatures
that there Is a Rtrong probability that a
formal meeting will be called at a nearby
date to discuss the best manner of getting
time committee on its . fet once more
