SPARKS WANTS TRUTH
TOLD LEGISLATORS
WapelIo County Representative sayss
Witnesses Before Assembly Should {
Be Pinned Down

Des Moines, March ITO compel
representatives Of various institutions
to tell the truth when speaking before
legislative committees, Representa-
tive Clyde G. Sparks of Wapello coun-
ty, will soon introduce bill in the
Legislature. Mr.. Sparks says that his
experience has been that men appear
ing before various committees to re-.
present conditions, insurance and 9TH
er business universally misrepresent,
delude and mislead the legislators az
to actual conditions existing.
| Mr.. Sparks declares that in the.
framing of laws it is necessarily Inn
portant that the legislators should
know the facts. He therefore proposes
to ask law such as will give the
chairman Of legislative committees
the right to place all witnesses under,
oath to tell the truth, and arrange for
! the taking of the testimony by short
hand stenographers. His bill will
carry a penalty clause with 1t proyid-
ling that any person may be tried in
the charge Of perjury who is believed
to have told falsehoods to the legis-
lators, and upon conviction may be
sentenced to the penitentiary for. i
term not to exceed ten years.

]. Pfeufer and family returned
the last OF the week from Seattle
and other outside points where
they have been for the past six
weeks enjoying a visit with friends.
Mr.. Pfeufer says of all the places
he was in he found none that had
the future Grangeville and Idaho
county undoubtedly has. He says
the time is fast coming when with
the opening of the mines and the
coming Of transportation, both
electric and steam, that the de-
mand for small tracts will necessi-
tate the dividing up Of the large
holdings of the present time into
acreage and there will be tributary
to Grangeville a large rural popula-
tion. The location of Grangeville
is ideal, q rich agricultural country
on one hand and mines Of untold
richness on the other, predictions
of its growth are facts bound to be
realized.

Marvellous Yields.

Shoulder high and sixty bushels
to the acre, is about the case of the
wheat crop of Camas Prairie this
year. Every day the report Of a
sixty bushel yield comes to this
city and it has grown to be rather
the rule than the exception.
Wheat is high and the yield never
better, that means the ranchers
pockets will be bulging with
money this fall and a great period
of prosperity will follow. The
Tolo country reports the big yields
this week, take for instance the
record from the ranch of George
Cowgirl, fifty acres Of wheat went
sixty bushels to the acre and the
grain is of the finest quality.
Cyrus Overman brought in some
samples Of White Oregon wheat
Saturday last that he made nc
special effort in selecting. The
grain seemed rather heavy and q
head was rubbed out by hand
which contained l35 perfect grains
This is Just fair example and tht
grain was not selected for exhibit
And thus it goes, ranch after rancl
recording yields almost beyont
belief. Yet a black coil three Il
six feet deep and perfect rain fal

STRIKES IT RICH
Calvin Huddleston Formerly
of This County Gets Gold.
GETS NUGGETS IN ALASKA
Old Miner Arrives IN Seattle
With Sc. 900 in Nuggets.

Calvin Huddleston, who for
many years mined in this county,
leaving here about two years ago
for the Alaska gold fields, has at
last been partially rewarded at
least for hts years Of labor as the
following clipping from the Seattle
Morning Times Of August % would
indicate:
Calvin Huddleston arrived in
Seattle on the Saratoga last night
from Alaska, carrying with him
nuggets to the value Of $1,000
which he had washed out on his
Discovery on Poor Man Creek, a
stream tributary to the Kahultna
River.
Huddleston is an old Idaho
miner almost 70 years Of age and
has been engaged in mining for
the greater part of his life. He
speaks OF the Poor Man Creek
country as being the easiest in the
world to mine, after the gold il
once found. The diggings are
very shallow aud the nuggets can
be seen in the dirt as it is shoveled
into the boxes.
His hardships in securing his
sack of gold were many. 1t took
all OF one summer to get into the
diggings and then winter settled
down and supplies had to be hauled
in from Sushitna Station on sled
which required trip Of 800 milel
and took months to complete. II
the following summer the gold wa,
discovered on Poor Man Creek fa
above timber line, where not ,
month went by without snow An.
hardly a day during the summe
but what it rained 80 that the,

just 40 soon as it was found tha

went down the river below tn

his claim and in the after part c
: the summer took out gold to tn
value of 81, 800. bis trip to tn
! station for supplies was again re
peated the next winter, and on hi
return he was taken down wit
scurvy, but partly recovered, an
az soon as the summer Of 100
