PARTY DROWNED
 IN WHITE RIVER
Launch From Clarendon Struck. Snag and Sank Only Two
 Members Saved.

Clarendon, Sept. 5. John H. Diggle and Miss Mamie Johnson of Stuttgart and Mrs. Leta Vas gein of Mullen, Idaho, were drowned in the White river near here about 8o'clock last eveving, while returning to Clarendon from up the river in MT. Diggle's gasoline launch.
 Two other members of the par ty, V. J. Dawson and Miss Gretchen Shaw, were saved be- cause of their being in the fore part of the boat when the stern sank to the bottom. They were coming down stream at speed of about 15 miles an hour, when the boat ran squarely into a snag in such manner that her bow ran up clear from the water and the the stern sank. The engine was located near the rear and the weight of this caused the stern to sink until 1t reached the bot tom. The three who were drown ed were seated near the back end. Diggle was lighting lan- tern when the boat struck the snag, and the shock threw Mrs. Vasgein and Miss Johnson back onto him, with the result that none had a chance to secure hold on anything. Diggle was said to be an expert swimmer, and was probably carried down by the women, who clung to him.
 Dawson and Miss Shaw were just able to keep their heads above water by clinging to the brass rail on the front of the boat. They were rescued from their position in the water by some timbermen, who were at tracted by Miss Shaw's screams and went out after them in a boat. They were not in the wa ter long enough to suffer any in- jury from the experience.
 | None of the bodies has as yet been recovered. The launch was owned by Diggle and was one of the finest on the river, being 30 feet long and seating 15 people. This makes the second thrilling experience of Miss Shaw recent ly, as she was the only passenger saved in a railroad wreck in Wy oming last summer.

JEFF AND LICENSE
 WIN IN JACKSON.
Reduced Majorities for Davis and in Favor of License Re- turns are Slow in
 Coming In.

AHC ICGuIl llS lIOiIl llle SIdC6 election, in so far as Jackson county goes, are very meager, but indicate that Davis will have a majority of 300, and that the advocates of license will win by probably4350 votes. Little inter- est was manifested from all pre- cincts reported and the vote was uniformly light.
 The city of Newport gave PDavis only 25 z majority over Myers, and complimented it's home candidate for gubernatorial honors, Capt. J. E. Wilmans, with 42 votes. Myers carried the Second ward by 39 majority, and the country precinct at the experimental farm gave Davis a lead of 12.
 For governor the First ward gave Davis 94: Myers, 30; Pen- rose, 1; Wilmans, 22. Second ward Davis, 72; Myers, Ill; Wilmans, 20; making the totals, Davis, 166; Myers, Al; Wilmans, AZ. As there were 382 votes cast in the two wards, a considerable number contented themselves with scratching Davis and all the other nominees for the head of the ticket.
 Both wards went for license by an overwhelming vote, the First by 103 for and 50 against; the Second by 155 to 63. The coun- tryprecinct of Union township al- so voted for license.
 The constitutional amendments are not being voted Upon gener- ally. For instance, in Rich woods, out of a total vote of 62, only 19 were cast for or against these amendments. Such as do vote are giving them a big ma jority.
 Myers carried Weldon, Au- vergne, Lower Cache, while all other precincts thus for re- ported have given Davis majori- ties, though some of them very small ones.

Insect Senses.

Naturalists have decided that many insects have senses which human beings lack. That of loca. tion, shown by the wasp, for in. stance, is remarkable. One spe. cies builds it's nest in sandbank that is only part of several acres of such soil, and when it leaves in search of food it covers the nest so carefully that no ordinary eye could discover it's location. That is to say it is just like all the sur rounding location, and yet the wasp flies back to it without hes itation and finds it without mak- ing a mistake. There is another wasp tfat unerringly locates the eggs of the mason bee under a thick layer of sun-baked clay, and deposits her eggs in the same cells that her young may have food when they are matched.
