ence Of the witnesses and their manner
Of testifying.
Everyone must know there il a
difference in the effect of the same
words when delivered in open court
from the mouth of q wi.ness and when
read from a manuscript in narrative
form. They may seem worthy of
credit in the one case, and positively
unworthy of all credit in the other.
Who can be unm:ndful of the in.
huence of the manner and carriage Of
witness on the stand?
There are many things aside from
the literal import of the words uttered
BY the witness while testifying, on
which the value of his evidence de-
pends. These it is impossible 10
transfer to paper.
Taken in the aggregate they con-
stitute vast moral power in elicitine
the truth, all of winch is lost when
read in another court or produced
in the form of narration.
1t would seem that the Judge who
tried the case, looked upon the witness,
saw and heard the manner of his tes-
tifying, is in better position to sift
the truth and mete out justice than a
tribunal bercft of these advantages.
However, i these are suggestions
which. OF course, presuppose fair
trial before fair Judge, and do not in
any manner assume to reflect the con-
census of opinion of the bar Of this
state, nor are they considered lnsuper-
able objections to such system viii III
obtains, l believe, in many of the
states and uniformly in the federal
courts.
1t is believed by many that the
power to review evidence on appeal in
equity cases already exists in the
supreme court, and that what really
seems to be desired is that in mat
ters of an equta lie nature it
shall be the duty of the supreme court
to exercise such power, and render
such Judgment as Of right ought to be
rendered.
To what extent the supreme court
would be bound under the constitution
to exercise this power, if conferred, is
a question have not examined, but
which suggests itself as worthy of
pr ON pt and careful consideration; bat
in order that your work may not fail
for want of executive authority and
that no question may arise on that ac-

rived Monday and was a passenger
also. Mr.. Finn is we'll known min
ing man and goes to inspect the Owl
creek property for capitalists.
This is the seventh boat that Mr..
Cross has taken down the river during
the past year with supplies, aggregat-
ing over $4,000 pounds, all Of which
have been pur chased here and this is
but a small item to the amount that
will be f1oated down the Salmon river
next season.
Mr.. Cross has a force of II men at
work at present but will employ only
six for the winter. The enterprise
and indon.,table courage and energy
displayed by Mr.. Cross in the face of
many obstacles will be rewarded be-
yond his greatest expectations, and
the people of Lemhi county, especially
of Salmon. must be prepared for the
big rush through here next spring
that will rival the famous stampede to
the Loon creek and Leesburg gold
diggings in the early COS.
Salmon is the natural supply point
and the Salmon river the natural high
way for both freight and passengers.
Owl creek is 60 miles northwest of this
