The populist state commit
tee issued an address to the
people. The most important
feature is the passage referring
the question of fusion with
other silver parties to the state
convention, -as follows:
Through the persistent ef-
forts of the republican party
to more firmly fasten upon the
suffering minions of this coun-
try all the blighted curses Of
the gold standard, conditions
have arisen which have result
ed in the issuance by the
chairmen of three national sill
yer parties of addresses sug.
costing the advisability Of
united action of all voters who
are opposed to the gold stand
ard.
"While not unfriendly tc
these suggestions, this com
mittee feels that the RESPONSE
bility Of taking action along
the lines suggested therein is
so great and the consequences
so momentous to our party
that the entire matter should
be referred to the people, il
convention assembled, for Their
decision"
The date for the state con
vention was fixed for Aug. 8

Henry Spaulding is Dead.

H. A. Spalding, who was
injured at Almota when his
residence was burned, died on
March ~. Mr.. Spalding, who
has suffered for years with
hernia, reopened the rupture
by lifting while removing fur
niture from his house during a
fire. Drs. Boswell and STUNT
of Colfax and Blalock of
Walla Walla have been at
tending him, and performed
an operation, but the patient
did not survive.
Mr.. Spaulding was a son Of
Rev. II. H. Spaulding, who
came to the Pacific North.
west in 1896 with Whitman.
His mother and Mrs. Whit
man were the first white
women to cross the Rocky
mountains, Whitman went to
the mission near Walla Walla,
and Rev. Spaulding took
charge of the mission at Lap
wal, Idaho, and escaped the
massacre in which the Whit
mans persisted. Henry Spald-
ing was born at Lapwai, one
of the first white children born
in the Pacific northwest.
Mr.. Spalding was about 50
years old. He was instrument
tai in bringing the fruit pro-
ducts of eastern Washington
and Northern Idaho to the at
tention of other states and was
prominent in all matters per.
tanning to horticulture. He
was we'll known in eastern
Washington and could have
made his mark politically had
he chosen to seek office, but
his retiring disposition turned
his talents in another channel.
His orchards along Snake
river are famous.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.
How an English Convict Was Led to Make
Confession.

Confession.
A well-kno xn firm of bankers In
London has just mado a profitable in
vestment. Some time ago a man who
had defrauded them of Ii large SUM OF
money was taken into custody. con-
victed and sentenced to long term OF
penal servitude.
AS may be imagined, says Tit
Bits, the prison fare did not agree
with a man who had by means
OF fraud lived on the fat of the
land. The change affected him in
many ways but he complained more
particularly of the effect the food had
upon his teeth. They were not numer.
GUS or in good condition when he was
sentenced and as they rapidly became
worse he applied to the governor of the
prison for new set,
He was told that the government did
not supply prisoners with artificial
teeth and at the first opportunity he
wrote to the banking firm in question
offering, II they would send him a new
set to give them some valuable infor-
nation.
Thereupon the bankers. thinking the
offer might be genuine one, sent the
governor OF the prison check for five
pounds and asked him to provide the
convict with a set of artificial teeth.
In due course the convict kept his
promise and sent the bankers certain
information, by means of which they
were enabled to recover no less than
one thousand five hundred pounds OF
which they had been defrauded. They
naturally regarded this MS the best in
vestment they had ever made, but it
proved even better than anticipated,
for they have just received from the
prison authorities a remittance Of one
pound, the teeth having cost only four
pounds.

AMERICAN SECURITIES ABROAD.
The sales of American securities have
been, according to London advi es, very
large abroad Of late. If this state OF
things holds, there will be an increasing
influx of British gold into this market.
This demonstrates the faith abroad in
the stability of our credit. There is
another point of faith for which the peo-
pie not only of this but foreign countries
have good grounds for credence, and
that is the belief in the efficacy of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters for inorganic
maladies which affect the stomach, liver,
bowels, kidneys and nerves. Dyspepsia,
biliousness, constipation and rheuma-
tism are conquered by it. 1t hastens
convale scence, aud diffuses a generous
warmth and sensation Of physical com,
fort through the system.

IDAHO'S KLONDIKE.
It is the Dixie District, in
Idaho County.

IL rs the O1Xl0 O1SLIlCL, III
Idaho County.
Frank f. Johnesse in the
Haily Times of the 10th says:
You might tell some of your
readers who intend going to
Alaska that we have a "Klon
dixie" in Idaho. 1t is the Dixie
mining district, in Idaho
county, twenty-six miles south
of Elk City, twelve miles north
from the main Salmon river,
and 40 miles by wagon road
from Lewiston.
Dixie is an old placer camp,
but only the last two years has
there been any attention paid
to quartz. About eighteen
months ago the Idaho.C Com
stock and Badger companies
started to develop some prop
critics here. In a short time
they had enough high-grade
free-milling ore in sight to jus
tify building mills to work the
same. The mills were com
pleted late last fall and have
been running steadily ever
since with very satisfactory re-
suits. The Comstock mill is
a Fraser & Chalmers patent,
heavy two stamp battery of
two batteries, with capacity
of eighteen tons per day. In
less than three months they
have cleaned up over 100000.
The Badger company has a
1o-stamp mill of twenty-five
tons capacity.
A great many other good
veins have lately been found
in the district that are equally
as good as those owned by
the above mentioned compan-
les.
The district is large, and
only a small portion of it has
been prospected.
The belt is about five miles
wide and tw elve miles long,
believed by many to be the
same belt that runs through
the Florence district as only
the Buffalo Hump range lies
between them.
The country rock is granite
and basalt with dykes of por-
phyry, phonolite, trachyte,
diorite and syemte running
through it. The veins usually
occur in the contact and con.
sist of an iron-stained, honey
combed quartz somewhat oxi-
died. Nearly every vein
that has been discovered up to
date pans free and varies in
width from two to three feet.
Some of the ore is very high
grade and assays up in the
thousands. There are several
shafts in the district from sixty
to 1873 feet deep, and in each
of these the ore is as free at
the bottom as on the top.
There are several good
properties owned by the pros
pectors that have tons of good
milling ore on the dumps that
will go from $40 to $50.
They have no money to de-
velop further or build a mill.
A custom mill will be their
salvation. This is the best To-
cation in the whole west for a
custom mill. A great abun.
dance of wood and water, also
some good water power. The
season opens and prospecting
begins the first of May. 1t is
expected there will be rush
in here this spring. Three
more mills will be built this
coming summer, and we be-
lieve that before another year
there will be a dozen of them
dropping stamps in the district.
The formation of the dis
trict is very similar to that OF
the famed Cripple Creek.
Little is known of this camp
on the outside. 1t is in rather
an isolated place, and the ma
tives are not very ent husi-
astic class and then it is new
bnt it will speak for itself from
now on, for it will be one of
the large gold-producers.

Bird, has made homestead
