 Ballard. Flint, Tyler, Pine Springs,
 and other places. Through the
 Assistance eheerfully given these
 people by the Cotton Belt railroad officials these people are pocketing
 unusual and very satisfactory
 profits in the shipment of b9rries to
 distant markets. We understand that fifteen or twents cars of straw
 berries have beeh hauled by this road
 and placed in markets as far east as Chicago, in tirst-class condition. : In one instance, at least, the road held trains for three hours in order stbat one ear of berries might have Ithe right-of-Way in it's swift flight to place of destination.
 Already about $30,000 have been received by farmers in this county E for berries hauled by this road. The rejoicing is now general with Hour shippers because of the fact that Ethie road has come to their relief Ienabling them to avoid the ruinous express charges that farmers have sheret etofore been compelled to pay. The Cotton Belt is delivering stra berries as far as Chicago for lyabout one cent pound, This rate
 laso very satisfactory to the farmers n that they have already begun to Tt - ogard the Cotton Belt as an honest and sympathetic friend in time cf uneeo.

FORMOSAN CABLE IMPROVE
MENTS.

With view to furthering the facili-
ties of telegraph communication be-
tween Japan proper and Formosa, the
Government started some time in
April or May last, the work of laying
cables between Ohama Gin the pro-
vince of OsumD and Formosa, dis
lance of about 900 miles, to be used
for the duplex system of telegraphy.
1t was recently COMPLETED and the re-
suit is reported as satisfactory. The
siphon recorder with some improve
ments worked out by Japanese experts
is used in the service in preference to
the Morse instrument. Although it
has long been in use on land. the du-
pick system as applied to cable tele-
graphy has been limited in this coun-
try thus far to the route between 40
mort and Hakodate.-Japan Times.
