ne benefit of orphans because he was
left an orphan himself and knows the
utter loneliness and neglect which the
most Of them suffer. He will there
fore equip a home that will bring them
everything their childish hearts desire
except the tender love and care Of
father and mother.
Way back in the days when 1t makes
some of us old timers who are still
young feel old to recall them, AL Hut
ton was engineer on one of the two
engines that made up the motive pow
er Of the little narrow guage railroad
that connected Wallace with the head
of navigation at the Old Mission and
which also had branches from this city
to Burke and Mullan. Like most
everybody else. he put the big end Of
his earnings into prospect holes, one
of which subsequently developed into
the Hercules mine. His career since
that date. as well as that of all other
owners OF Hercules, all Of whom were
poor men, is familiar to readers Of
The Miner. This munificent gift to
the orphans by Mr.. Hutton will no
doubt bring him more real pleasure
than any investment he has ever made.

Washington, March lS.-Since the

the Sixty-ffth congress to meet in
April, the most important question
politicians have had TO wrestle with is.
Who will control the next house,
No answer has yet been found to the
question: it is a toss-up with both
sides making claims and neither wholly
sure. And hingeing on the answer is
the question of whether the south IS
to be unsaddled, whether the big Iowa
republican delegation will be raised
from a minority to positions OF power
on important committees, and whether
500 employees Of the present democratic
house are to lose their jobs.
The count now stands 2l5 republi-

one progressive. one progressive pro-
tectionist, one socialist, one independ-
ent and one vacancy. The vacancy

evidence that strongly supports the

Cedar Rapids can produce a sample Of
the goods.
An established dealer, in q smaller
town, not remote from Cedar Rapids,
within 4 few days past, received and
sold at retail at the rate of $3.50 the
bushel a carload of first class potatoes.

he had bought the carload 'On the mar

made a better profit on potatoes than
when he sold this shipment at s1.65.
The potatoes were bought in a prom
inent city where the published quota =

in carload lots. In transit they passed
thru other wholesaling Centers where

IL he or his travelling representative
had so desired they could have sold
fifty carloads between the shipping
point and the place of delivery.
The conclusion can not be avoided
either that this dealer in the small
town has more complete information
than commission men in larger places
or that the agents of the house making
the sales have instructions to canvass
small towns and not to disturb prices
at points where sales are made in
larger volume.
Sales over at least one-hah OF Iowa
could have been made at the same
price, freight added. 1t must also be
apparent that these potatoes could have
been sold at the same price at any
time since they were harvested. Tha;
the delivery was made so far from the

wholesale dealer has considerable
stock or at least has access to Large
