HUCKLEBERtY SWAMPS,

Kent county, Nd, has large area Of
huckleberry swamps, which at this seaso n
and later on yield large crop. These swamps
extend along the northeastern part of Ken +
county, Md, into Delaware and include
many thousands of acres. The bushes arc
hardy and prolific. The "hgh-bush" berry
Is large and plump and blue. The bushes
grow to twelve and sometimes to fifteen
feet high The berries are often shipped by
the carload and sometimes they realize de
high as eight cents quart. The average
of q picker is sixteen or twenty quarts
day. Large numbers of pickers are employ.
ed during the season. ~ -
The huckleberry section ofMnryland and
Delaware Is known locally as "The'Forest"
and the hundreds Of families Of berryplck.
ers who settle for the time being In tho
swamps are known as 'foresters." The
term Forest as applied to these lowlands
Is not Inappropriate, because 1t Is vast
wooded territory. 1t is estimated that as
many as Thousand persons pick their liv-
ing from The huckleberry bushes during the
hucklchcrry season. There Is the greatest
difference in the flavor of the "hgh-bush"
hucklebcrry and the 'low bush" berry.
There is all the difference in the world In
favor of the "high bush" berry, which is
sweet, juicy and delicious, and it is said
"the fores ters' make the best huckleberry
pics in the world.

BROKEN GLASS.
Persons Who Throw 1t In the Streets
Should be Punished.

Should be Punished.
On three occasions citizen, who is
both a wheelman and driver of horses,
has found broken tumbler and bottle
glass in front of saloon on Third street
upon the bitumen pavement. Twice,
without complaining, he and others
picked up and swept up the dangerous
matter.
Yesterday, for the third time a lot
of broken glass of drinking tumblers
was found on the bitumen in front of
the saloon and widely scattered. Some
of the pieces were large enough to ruin
a horses hoof if trod upon, while much
of the glass had been ground up by
passing wheels and was in fine shape to
puncture bicycle tires.
The citizen walked into that saloon
in his wrath and then and there laid
down the law (and his intention) with
such vigor and determination that en-
ployes of the place were sent out and
swept up the street so as to remove the
dangerous bits of glass.
The regret is that this citizen did not
swear out warrant and make a test
case-have it determined whether the
laws regarding the throwing of rubbish
into the streets can be enforced or not.
They are constantly. impudently, def
antly violated on all sides. If the new
Street Superintendent will make a .ster-
rible example" of some of the offenders

Afternoon Session.

In the afternoon G.. NJ. Perrine, San
francisco contractor, offered to make
private contract with the State and one
half of the other property-owners. MAX
Ing the three fourths required by law,
to do the work for $1,000 less than Tou-
hey's bid and give bond for keeping
the streets in repair for ten years.
G. NJ. Perrine said that there was only
one mine from which Mr. Touhey could
get bituminous rock, and that was the
Santa Cruz Mine, from which owens
did the work on Market street, in Stock
ton.
..The work on Market street is better
than that on Channel street" said the
Governor. why cannot Mr.. Touhey
get rock from other mines as we'll as
you, Mr.. Perrine?"
A DAMAGING ADMISSION.
Mr. Perrine answered that the mine
owners had agreed with the contractors
who are regularly in the business of
putting down bituminous streets that
they would not furnish rock to any out
side contractors.
"Ahi A combination, is it?" said
Secretary of State Brown.
No" said Mr.. Perrine, "it is only an
agreement between the mine-owners
and the contractors for their mutual
protection"
"Oh. yes 1 see, only a pool to keep
Touhey and others out of the market,
and keep the prices up" said Secretary
Brown.
MAKE A NOTE OF IT.
Put that down, Miss Todman," said
the Governor to his Executive Secre-
tary, land will call the attention of the
next Legislature to the statement. If
they will do as / want, they will make
such contracts as you speak of a felony,
Mr.. Perrine I do not believe that any
snan, or set of men, have the right to
combine to control wheat or provisions,
or anything which it is necessary for
fhe public to use.'
Mr.. Perrine explained that the reason
for the contract was that irresponsible
bidders came in and secured contracts,
and put down streets in such a manner
that complaint arose and bad reputa-
tion was given to bitumen-
Last fall the Commissioners wanted
to put down a road through the park
from Thirteenth to Fifteenth street, )"
said the Governor, "and wishing to get
rock that was not controlled by your
combination they inserted in the speci-
fcations San Luis Obispo bituminous
rock, so that all could bid on it, and you
fellows were the first to howl over it.
An injunction was gotten out, and the
.Attorney-General said we could not
confine the specifications to only one
kind
well, they cannot get San Luis
Dbispo rock now," said Perrine, ''as it is
