fifty gallons of beautiful strawberries from a plat
of ground twenty-five feet by thirty-four feet,
realizing from the sale of the berries $27.90. The
berries were very large, many of them measur-
ing six or seven inches each In circumference.
A few acres of equally productive ground would
make a fortune every year.

The trunk lines, when they voted to advance
rates, expected that the water routes would do
likewise. The rates by lake and canal have
been the lowest this spring ever reported. Dur
ing May the cost per ton for carrying wheat
from Chicago to New York was 81 corn 81. 92,
against 50 633 for wheat and 50. 536 for corn last
year. 1t has been almost impossible for the
carriers to make profits, as they were compelled
to pay on the lake about 10 cents per ton for
transferring, shoveling. unloading, etc. The
advance in water rates it was expected would
help this, but it appears to be a question about
any advance, as the Canadian government has
reduced tolls on the st. Lawrence and Welland
canals 80 per cont or 10 cents per ton. The
Montreal Harbor Commission have cut down
wharf dues from = cents to l cent per ton, ele-
vators have reduced charges 20 per cent, and
foFwarders contemplate a reduction of one
quarter cent per bushel. These reductions have
turned a line of grain to Montreal.
Rail rates have been $3 per ton to New York,
50. 40 to Baltimore and So. go to Philadelphia.
The advance recently ordered will make the rail
rate to New York So per ton, Baltimore SO. so and
Philadelphia $4.3I.

President Ingalls, Takes a Rosy View of the
Situation.

NJ. E. ingalls,, president of the c., L, St. L.
& c. system, returned last evening from a trip
over all divisions of the road. He says if any
body talks panic to him he will recommend
that they make a trip over all divisions of the c.,
l., st. L. s. G. system, and they will see that
crop prospects were never more favorable; 80
per cent. of the wheat looks finely. and on
neither the Vernon, the Columbus, the Rush
vile, the Martinsvile, the Seneca divisions, nor
on the main line did he see a yellow, sickly
looking corn field. He says he proposes this
year to let the through business take care Of
itself and look after his local traffic at every
point. MI. Ingalls, further adds that if the roads,
will only maintain rates in the last six months
of 1884 the freight earnings of the roads of this
country will be the largest of any year in rail
road history. He thinks the notwithstanding
roads have become heartily sick Of carrying
business for nothing, and will, for a few months,
at least, adhere strictly to rates.

TRF BEEF QUESTION.


There has been quiet but very effec-
tive revolution going on in the manner
ofsupplying the large eastern cities with
beef The shipment of dressed beef in
refrigerator cars, which has been q
growing business for two years, has
aroused the opposition of the butchers
in New York and neighboring cities,
because II has almost Frustrated the
butchering business there. nccessitating
the closing of number Of slaughter
houses, thus throwing some 200 men
out of employment. The butchers of
Hoboken and Jersey City have formed
protective association and appointed
q committee to confer with
similar associations in New York,
SO that concerted movement may be
made to drive Chicago dressed meats
out of the market. The New York
butchers have also formed protective
associations anG organized to put stop
TO the transportation Of dressed beef
from Chicago and other cities in the
west. 1t is proposed to wait and make
joint assault upon the dressed meat
business when the warm weather sets
in" Those eastern boys had better
throw up the sponge, lay down their
cleavers and come west and grow up
with the country. Not many moons hence
the railroads will be brought into sui
lection to the wants and rights of
interstate commerce. When this is done
establishments for slaughterlng ana
shipping meats to the east and to Eu-
rope will dot every prominent city in
the great west. There is no sense in
these Atlantic butcher boys bucklng
against manifest destiny. II is believed
the cry of the butchers that this dressed
beef Is unhealthy is not borne out by the
facts, and that it is really
much more wholesome than that pro-
duced from cattle slaughtered in the
Atlantic cities after being tortured by
shipment in crowded and filthy cars for
fifteen hundred miles. The New York
Sun says many families in that city who
are exceptionally fastdiOus in their
tastes prefer the western killed beef to
that slaughtered there, and take pains to
obtain It, and many thousands of people
are eating it daily without knowing
where it came from or how it came.
They are the best judges as to its
| quality.

HON. j. JAY BUCK FOR JUDGE.
The Winfield Courier in discussing
the supreme judgeship question thus
speaks Of one OF our disiin guished law
yers, and those who know Judge Buck
will fully endorse all it says in his
favor;
Hon. j Jay Buck, of Emporia, will
have many friends and supporters for a
nomination If he consents TO become a
candidate. He would grace the bench
with ripe scholarship. thorough legal at
tainments, the experience of twenty
seven years of successful practice, sound
business habits and the courtesy of a
cultured gentleman Why not Judge
Buck?
Council Grove Republican: The
name of Hon. jay Buck, Of Emporis,
has been suggested approvingly by 3
number Of our leading citizens as q
suitable one TO be presented as the
candidate OF central and western Kansas
for the place on our supreme bench left
vacant by the resignation of Judge
Brewer. While locality has and should

OF candidate tor the Office of judge of
the supreme court, yet other things
being equal, it is well, in the interests
of harmony and unity, that Judicial,
like other offices of honor ana profit,
should be fairly distributed throughout
the state, and it Is needless for rs TO say
that central and western Kansas can pre-.
sent the names Of lawyers who in char
acter and ability are the peers Of any

an one, after long and intimate personal
acquaintance, we regard Judge Buck to
be; and we know no man whom we can
more cordially support for this Office;
and we trust he may find it CONSISTENT
with his sense of propriety. duty and the
fitness Of things, to allow his name to be
used.
Cottonwood Falls Leader: We believe
the nomination of Buck for supreme

ventIon, would be received with pleasure
by the people of Chase county, 70 whom
