THE HERALD disliBes 60 adopt ideas
that have been previously conceived
and announced by the paper, but tie
following from the Denton Monitor is
SO well expressed that it abandous its
usual practive in this instance: 1--WE
have nothing to say as to the cpntem-
plated route by Roanoke and Aplrors, or
Decatur, and west, only that It is less
practical and will give less trade to Dali
las then the former route. Much of the
country 1t would pass throu gh is already
tapped by the roads to Fort Worth.
"The route from Denton to Bowie
would open up trad o TO Dallas that
she never has had ana never will get,
unless some such ent erprise Is the one
suggested takes it to that city. Mil
lions of dollars Of trade is now drawn
in the direction ct Fort Worth that
might have been saaried to Dallas. II
she will only roach out and gather it
in. We urged these points eight years
ago, and had they been adhered to Dali
las would to-day be city OF 5000 in
stead OF 10000 population. She was then
bantling, struggling Cor supremacy
to-day she is a giant, and her iron arms
are reaching into every part of tha state,
and she ca nnot afford to allow this con
Meeting link, which Joins her with the
great northwest and with the Denver
and lofado, to remain unbilt. What
ever is necessary for Denton and her
citizens to do in order to insure the ex.
tension from this city will be DONE"

Friend Palmer's Services.

The Lansing correspondent of the Chi

last Thursday, 10th inst, as follows:
Friend Palmer, who collected $4,000
for the state from the general govern
ment, and received % per cent of the to-
tai amount for collection fees, was before
the military investigation committee
part of this afternoon. He gave his tes
timOny i'm sach manner as to convey
the impression that he didn't want to
tell the public or the committee any
thing about it, and that he had used the
information that he obtained while
Quartermaster General, from 1867 to
1870, to collect money that anybody else
could have collected just as well; that ne
succeeded in making the easy going
Governor Begole believe that nobody else
could collect it, and that as the claims
would lapse in few days the contract
to pay him One-Quarter of all collected
must be signed at once. He admitted
that tho Money would have come to the
state just as well if he had never filed
the claim he did at the War Department
at Washington, and denied the truth of
the whole transaction as STATED by Mr..
Bicycle in his outgoing message, as he
could not have visited Mr.. BegOle at fis
Office in Lansing, never having seen him
but twice, and then at Flint, after the
money had been collected, His exami-
nation will be continued tomorrow.

The Blue Berry.

To the Editor of theToledo Blade Farm.
The blueberry is one of the most val
liable fruits grown, and is the only re-
liable fruit to grow IN the extreme nor
thern latitude, where most other fruits
winter kill. They are perfectly hardy
never known to winter kill, aud are a
regular bearer-will bear a full crop
seasons where all other fruits fail. The
fruit ripens in this latitude about the
first of July, and is borne in clusters like
currants, and are about the size of the
wild gOOseberry. Shape round, color a
blush black. When fully ripe, the fla
v0r is equal TO the raspberry very mild
rich sub-acid, pronounced by most peO-
pie delicious. They are very productive.
Sipgls canes will yield 10 to IL quarts
in season. The plant is about the
height and size of the current bush, and
very 'stOeky, holding the fruit well up
from the ground. They commence bear
ing the first year after setting out, same
as raspberries, and bear a full crop the
second and third year after planting.
The berry is firm enough to ship hun
drCds of miles. The demand for this
fruit is great and brings on an average
Is cents per quart at wholesale. Plants
are propOgated mostly from root cut
ting. For garden culture vines
should be set 2 or 8 feet apart in the rows,
and or 5 feet between the rows; and
for field culture 6x6, so they can be
thoroughly cultivated both ways with
horse hoe. During the bearing season
vines should be mulched with SEINE
coarse litter. Saw dust is best if it can
be obtained.-DELOs STAPLES, West Sc

BOis Blanc Island Settlers.

The La nsing correspondent of the De-
troit Evening News has this to say about
the Senate bill for quieting the titles of
the settlers on Bsis Blanc island:
The Senate bill for quoting the titles
of actual homestead and pre-emptiOR
settlers on state swamp lands on Bots
Blanc island, and all other places
throughout the state, was passed by the
House without opposition. This is the
bill to which attention was called by the
News some time ago as a probable land
grab manipulated by wealthy men who
had taken ND small and large tracts un.
der the u. S. homestead laws. Is being
afterward discovered that the land be-
lOnged to tho state as swamp lands, the
next movement il to introduce bill to
quiet titles On all such lands. That a
number of wealthy men did take up
lands under the United States homestead
laws there can be no doubt. None of
these men would have observed the laws
which prescribe that the settler must
not be absent from the lands more than
six months in each year, or observe 9th
or provisions which a bona fde settler
ia required to obey. The idea that a
wealthy man should be able to acquire a
summer resort as an actual settler is
contrary TO the spirit and meaning of
the law, although he may urge his wife's
health is his "laudable" object. The bill,
however, when revised In the Senate,
was amended so that these rich men will
have to swear that they complied with
all the conditions of the homestead law
before they get title, so that tn cir ac-
tion in this particular will be watched
with interest.
