FOUND IN RIVER.
Body of Man Found in Little Wood
River Near GOOding.

A Chinaman employed on the ranch
Of w. B. Kelly, three and a half miles
from Gooding, made a gruesome find
in the bushes bordering Little Wood
River last Thursday in the form of a
human body. The Chinaman lost no
time in making a getaway to tell
Ranch Foreman Webster of what he
had seen.
The body was floating in the stream
and would have passed down with the
swift current but for the fact that the
bushes moored it fast. Upon notifica-
ton by phone Undertaken Thompson
hurried to the scene and brought the
body to Gooding. 1t was not mutt
lated except as to the face. Appar-
emily the remains are those Of man
dead for perhaps month or longer.
The clothing was that of working
man.
The undertaken found in the pockets
a dollar and eighty cents in silver and
meal ticket bearing no name to indi-
cate the owner. The ticket, however,
was issued as number 791 by the "Bo
hemian Restaurant, opposite G. P. R.
Depot" This perhaps refers to the
Central Pacific, which is the old name
of the Southern Pacific from Ogden to
San Francisco, that name being still in
common usage. There were other
scraps of paper found and these were
carefully dried in an effort to deter
mine the identity of the dead man.
At a point about a mile up the
stream the Short Line tracks cross the
Little Wood. 1t was thought possible
that the body was that of wayfarer
who either fell from a train or was
killed while walking on the road and
hurled into the water
Among other effects of the unfor-
tunate was a little memorandum book
filled with names and dates and de-
signs to indicate that the hapless own
er was sign painter or writer. The
fly leaf bore the name of Jack Farrell.
The man had apparently been at work
at various places in the northwest, in

Taylor Takes Hot Shot.
Speaking of the extra session call
State Auditor Stephen d. Taylor said:
Governor Hawley contemplates
calling special session of the legis-
lature to revise the tax laws. This is
virtual acknowledgment that his
full cash value plan of assessment
without proper preparation is a fail
ure.
However, in view of the disastrous
results of the governors policy, | am
of the opinion that the calling of an
extra session would be a wise action
notwithstanding the great expense
1T is not uncommon to find in
stances where the taxes of the farmer
have been raised five times.
mo one opposes cash value as an
economic principle, but the legislature
has been enacting revenue laws to
suit low value assessments ever since
territorial days. The question of
whether the governors full cash value
plan was wise has now passed the ar
gumentative stage
Speculation Rampant.
Speculation in this state is now
rampant over the possibility of the Of
fetal call for the session extraordin-
airy being issued, and the statement of
Governor Hawley that there is now lit
tie question but what it will be.
The constitution of this state pro-
vides that when special session is
called only matters designated by the
governor in the call shall be consider
ed. This prevents the possibility of a
special session running wild and TAX
ing up other matters.

HaX. CLOUDS Are colored.

The color Of cloud depends ON the
manner in which the sunlight falls
upon it and the position Of the OBJ
server. It will be noticed that high
clouds are always white or light in
color. and this is because the light by
which they are seen is reflected from
the under surface by the numberless
drops of moisture which go to form
the cloud Heavy rain clouds. on the
other hand. are found much nearer the
earth. and so the light fails on them
more directly from above, giving a
silver lining to the cloud, though the
under surface appears black. owing
to the complete reflection and absorp
ton Of the light by the upper layers.
Seen from above By an observer In

The Indians Vision.

More or less wonderful accounts have
from time to time been given Of the
powers of vision possessed by savage
races. During British anthropoloGi-
cal expedition to the Torres strait the
visual faculty Of the natives was care
fully tested, and from these tests the
conclusion was reached that the ex-
celence of vision shown by the sav-
ages has. a psychological origin--that
is to say, 1t arises from knowing what
to look for. When the civilized man
acquires familiarity with the environ
ment he can see as far as they can.
Thus the power Of an Indian to tell
the sex Of a deer at such q distance
that Distinguishing features Ike antlers
were invisible was found to rest upon
his knowledge Of the peculiar gait OF
the male deer.-Scientifc American.

cording to Mt. Ralph Neville in Lon
don Clubs. were paid extra wages on
condition that they submitted to the
usual rules in force on British vessels
OF war. These included fogging under
certain circumstances. and it IS said
that, In consideration OF the additional
sum paid by Lord Marlborough, some
OF the crew cheerfully submitted to the
occasional application Of the CATO

left Plymouth sound for cruise all

warning to his clients:

not say anything about their meals
they will be charged for. and If they
should say beforehand that they are
going out to breakfast or dinner. and
If they say that they not have any
thing to eat they will be charged. OF
unless they bring it to the notice OF
the manager. and should they want
not to say anything, they must order
the manager for. and not any one else,
and unless they not bring it to the no
tice of the manager, they will be
charged for the least things not, ac-
cording to hotel rate. And no fuss
will be allowed afterward about it,
and nothing will be allowed to deduct
anything out Of it,

surely could be no excuse for misun-
