"HUCKLEBERRY MARSH.” A Wonder Spot in Hoosierdoni. James Franklin Picturesquely Describes a Famous lietreat Near Walkerton, Ind.—Characters to be Seen There—Figures that Never Lie. East Side, August 11, 1890.—Editor Daily Calumet: Reference being made through the columns of your newsy journal a few evenings since to tho great huckleberry marsh, near Walkerton, Indiana, a few remarks on that wonderland of Indiana may interest your numerous readers. Leaving South Chicago ou any of those vestibules on wheels which run over the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, the first place wo meet of any importance after leaving South Chicago is the pretty little town of Walkerton, only sixty miles from here —one hour and thirty minutes’ ride. Arriving at Walkerton we take a team to see the great huckleberry marsh, which ir Iwo and a half miles distant, and we enter the portals of Berrytown, and tho sights here presented amply repay the visitor for his journey to this favored spot of nature. Here is a town or city of tents, sprung into being mayhap in a day; there you see the farmer and his entire family gathering the luscious fruit; here you see men, women and children from the country round about employed as pickers, here you see lawyers, doctors, men and women of leisure, all pursuing their different avocations; here you see tho butcher, the baker, the grocer, the dentist, the restaurant keeper, gambler, hatter, shoemaker, faiker, circus, flying dutchman and all, embellished by tho omnipresent saloon. Here, indeed, is a study of humanity in all its varied phases, which must bo seen to give even the faintest idea of what it means. Five years ago tho Harpers, of New York, sent two of their special artists to make sketches of the scenery in this delightful spot. The Chicago Herald and numerous other leading newspapers have written it up; yet in all that has been said about this locality there are no figures given of even an approximate idea of the vast amount of berries which are annually shipped from this place. The Plymouth Democrat, of recent date, and the Walkerton Independent, are authorities for saying that SBSO per day was paid out to pickers alone during the berry season. As the huckleberry season lasts about fifty-five days, beginning June 25 and ending about August 25, averaging the money paid to nickers at only SSOO per day, this amount is $27,500. The average crop harvested every year is about 25,000 bushels of berries. They are shipped to the principal cities in eightquart boxes, thus taking 100,000 boxes for the crop. The shippers get about onehalf of these boxes returned to them when empty, so that only about 50,000 boxes are furnished each year to handle the crop. The hauling of these boxes to and from the grounds costs 3 cents each, or $3,000 for tho season. The Baltimore & Ohio and Lake Erie & Western railroads get about $6,000 per year for freights and express charges and the commission men in different cities to which this fruit is shipped got about SB,OOO a year. This great huckleberry marsh is the wonderland of tho west, and if properly cultivated and pro-

(ected would boa source of great profit to its owners. Tho Inter Ocean, a few days ago, gave a brief sketch of the organization of the Pottawatomie Fruit company, which is being organized bv some of the best business men iu Chicago and our own vicinity to control this property, improve it and build a club house on the grounds for tho use of its members during the hunting and fishing seasons. In additon to tho berry business the woods abound in foxes, rabbits, squirrels, pheasants, woodcocks, quails, prairie chickens and partridges; it is a veritable hunter’s paradise. There are also two magnificent lakes in the immediate vicinity; viz: Bently lake, adjoining the property, is the feeding aud breeding ground of the game in that section; and Koontz’s lake, a quarter of a mile from the site of the new club house. These lakes have an abundance of fish—black bass, rock bass, pickerel, suuflsh, perch, flyfish, etc. These hunting and fishing facilities, with the Kaukakee marsh within a few miles of the place, will provide hunting and fishing facilities second to none we kuow of in tho west and within easy access of Chicago. Here,

^leed, is the most favored spot of nawith the historic stamping ground e Pottawatomie Indiana; here were. maiden 1 ? 11 counell3 1101(1 ancl Indian raitableT dand WOD; herewaa a man until7? n of Eden for the re(l midst Fir3 ale faces came ln their asked to lie dl he timid ^PP^t bearskin and war? n tlie rod man 8 man’s fire and W™ elf at tbe land to raise corn foi little P iece of children; and now h ^men and strong and mighty au? s become bold and

spreads out his parchments over the whole land and says “It is mine.” Think of the country for which the Indian fought! Who can blame that great Pottawatomie chief when he said to the white man: “Stranger, there is not room enough for us both. The Great Spirit has not made us to live together. There is poison in tho white man’s cup; the white man’s dog barks at the red man’s he Js. If I should leave tho land of my fathers, whither shall I fly ? Shall Igo to the south and dwell among tho graves of tho Pequots? Shall I wander to tho west, tho fierce Mohawk, the man-eater, is my foe! Shall I fly to tho oast, tho great water is before me! No, stranger, here have I lived and here will 1 dio; and if hero thou abidest there is eternal warfare between me and thee!” —Jim Franklin in South Chicago Daily Calumet. Walkerton, Ind., U. S. A., paid out $14,067.67 for huckleberries this season. Can Walkerton, Canada, show any such figures? In making a rough guess at the distance from Huron, South Dakota, to Pierro, of tho sumo state, some time ago in this paper we said about 80 miles, but a typographical error crept in making us say 20 miles. The distance, however, we think, between the two places is about 90 miles. The dams in tho Kankakee river at Momence were removed Tuesday, Aug. 12th. W. H. Shelby owned tho dams and ordered them removed in the interest of the Indiana Drainage Commission. The Eastern Illinois Railroad Company made an effort to stop tho work but failed. It Is said that the railroad company will rebuild the dams and guard them by a force of mon. Shelbyville, Ind. Aug. 11—A frightful natural gas explosion occurred Monday at Ogden, near here. Just how it happened is not known yet. The bottom of the river was literally torn up. There is a huge pit of fire 50 feet deep and the flumes spread over five acres: Stones were thrown two miles. The dead were torn from their graves and tumbled about promiscuously. It is not known that anybody was killed. The whole country was shaken up, and the excitement is tremendous.—lndianapolis Sunt A writer in St. N icholas nays that when an Askimo baby is born a bag of skins is fashioned for its sole use and in it a record of its age is kept forever after, Into this ba? a little bone is put once every rear, and it is considered a kind of sacrilege either to take out or put in a bone "xcept nt the proper time. The rear is reckoned from the time the person first sees the sun appear upon the horizon—for that luminary is not a daily visitor in the land of the frozen north. Four long months of continual night, lighted only by the stars and moon; four months of daylight,without rest from’he blinding eun; two months o* glimmering twilight before and two after the coming of tho sun, ;pake up the Arctic year. They have no register or notation of time, nor routine of daily life, as we understand it. They eat when they are bun* gry and sleep when they are sleepy.—Ex. MOUNT VERNON.
