Barzilla w. Clark was born al
Hadley, Indiana, but came to Idaho
Falls when a mere boy His ances-
tors, notably the Hadley, Worth and
Clark branches, were Quakers, and
played an important part in the de-
velopment of their portions of the
country since Revolutionary times
His father, Mr.. Joseph A. Clark, was
a surveyor by occupation, and ran
the preliminary surveys ON practi.
cally all the canals of the upper
Snake River valley. His brothers
| D. Worth Clark, of Pocatello, and
the late Nathan H. Clark of Boise,
were prosecuting attorneys of Bing-
ham county; his brother Chase A.
Clark is practicing attorney of Mac
kay, Custer county; the other
brother, William Clark, is engaged
in farming in the same county. His
mother, Mrs. Eunice H. Clark, and
his only sister, Mrs. w. H. Holden,
reside at Idaho Falls, of which Mr..
Clark is mayor at the present time.
Mr.. Clark's public life began with
four years as councilman from his
ward of the city; where as chairman
of the electric light and water COM
mittee he distinguished himself by
bringing to successful completion
one of the largest municipal plants
in the northwest. The people recog-
nized his ability along these lines
and his interest in their affairs, and
they elected him mayor by larger
majority than all the former mayors
combined received. During his term
of office, the city has been paved, ten
miles of sewer line has been COM
pleted and without bonding the city
four miles of Waterman has been
laid, the street lighting system has
been extended and $4,000 worth of
electrical machinery installed in the
power house; but done with the reve-
nue. from the city plant.
Mr.. Clark also succeeded in finally
getting the Carnegie Library started,
and this same will probably be finish
ed within the next ninety days. The
taxes levied by the city this year are
twenty ty-seven per cent less than they
have been, and at the same time no
needed improvements have been al
lowed to drag.
Mr.. Clark's nomination for COVER
nor was filed by J. H. Greene. Of
Mackay, for whom he worked for
about four years in Mr.. Greene's
Mackay store, and who is one of the
best known citizens of that country.

A CORRECTION

Our announcement last week that
the nomination of Mrs. Lulah Smith
for school superintendent was made
by Attorney Gagon was a mistake.

Mrs. Smith has taught three years
in the city schools, and prior to that
time was the principal of the River
side school for two or three years.

that it will be but short time until

The rainfall is bound to increase as

of producing this soil contains it will
convert the whole of northern and
eastern Colorado into broad agri-
cultural section" Not to one or two
things does Mr.. Tiedcmann base his
hopes for the future. but on the
many. yet perhaps any one OF them
would make for vast agricultural
district. He looks forward to the
time when the dairy business will
be an industry that Crowley county
can boast of as being one of the best
in the west. He is doing what he
can to promote the dairy business
which is not one yet to be tried out
here but one which needs only the
diverting of the attention of suffi-
cient number of farmers to make it
power among the county's indus
tries. He cites many cases wherein
it is proven that cows pay and pay
we'll One OF these is that of Ed
Whitney, one of the ranchers of this
section who gives his work careful
study and attention. Mr.. Whitney
has twelve cows. The past year these
cows have netted him return of
S805 besides the family had for their
own consumption all the rich cream
they needed and ate on the average
of seven pounds of butter week.
Such is the review of business in
this wonderful valley of abundance
and of man who forecasts for its
future greater things even than have
come about in the past.

two children, boy and girl One

moved to Ordway. and can therefore
be termed native reared child if
not native born. Mr.. Tiedcmann has
great fondness for his home and fam
lily and even though he is busy man
he finds time for aiding in their
comfort and enjoyment in life.

H. C. Tiedemann Has Built
Big Business in Four Years

Transforming white elephant
into successful business industry
and converting it into an asset for
town and county in the period of
four years is somewhat OF an under
taking, but was an undertaking which
H. c. Tiedemann Of this place set
out to accomplish and he succeeded.
This business tenerprise is now
known as the Tiedemann Mercantile
company and does business annual
ly that amounts in the neighborhood
of 100000.
Mr.. Tiedcmann came to Ordway
four years ago. He left big city
to take up his life's work in new
and undeveloped country. He left
Buffalo, N. Y. where he was employ
ed as head accountant and credit
manager by a million dollar corpor-
alton, to come west and start bust
ness of his own, and he has built
it from the ground up. In four
years he has accomplished what it
would take many men dozen or
more to accomplish.
The business which he took over
four years ago was principally an
elevator business. 1t is now a mer-
camille company handling such diver
sified lines of merchandise that it
would take column of this paper
to enumerate them. While the COM
pany is an incorporated one Mr..
Tiedman is the owner of 90 per cent
Of the stock and therefore in speak
ing of his firm it is not amiss to
speak of Mr.. Tiedemann in person.
He is one of Ordway's most active
business men and is ever on the alert
to add to his business from day to
day and add to the community's
good by giving what aid he can in
the development of the great territory
surrounding Ordway And in this he
is making himself felt in the COM
munity. 1t is such men as this head
of the Tiedemann Mercantile Com
pany that makes bigger and better
towns, larger and more prosperous
agricultural sections. and citizens of
Ordway are glad that they have such
a man in their community.

Figures That Tell

If you do not believe some of the
things Crowley county has to say
about herself just write, and find out,
is what the county commissioners of
the county have to say. That is
what they say about the following
figures which show some of the
crops produced here. These figures
do not intend to convey the idea
that they are showing the average
yields, but do mean to convey the
fact that they are bonafide yields
made by some of the ranchers on
ten different items of agriculture. 1t
goes to show that If this has been
done in these particular cases it can
be done again and again and by
others if the matter is given the right
kind of study and attention. The fig
ures follow:
Oats, lis bushels per acre.
Wheat, IS bushels per acre.
Barley, IS bushels per acre.
Alfalfa, 10 tons per acre.
Alfalfa seed, SIS per acre.
Cantaloupes. 633 crates to the acre.

includes cream separators, tractors,

together with that of the president
and general manager is coming to be
a strong one.
Asked what he thought of the fu-

farm lands in this section of the
state Mr.. Tiedemann said: without

While there is but little native hay
cut in this section of the state it is
held in high regard among the feed
ers. The livery men prefer it to
many other kinds and feed it when
ever it is possible to procure it. As
seller it readily brings a good price
and usually runs about $40 per ton.
This native hay is gramma grass and
the very best feed for horse, much
