DIED IN HIS WAGON
ON A COUNTRY ROAD

Capital News Special Service)
Idaho Falls, June 4.-While on his
way to Idaho Falls Monday. Mr.. Lee,
who lives about 80 miles east In the
foot hills on a dry farm, and when
about 20 miles from the city, found a
team and covered wagon standing in
the road. A dog was under the wagon.
Seeing no one around, he made an
Investigation. Climbing UP and looking
over the high sides Of the wagon, lie
discovered the body Of a man lying
in the bottom of the wagon. He at
once drove to the ranch, Of Willard
Moore. where there was telephone
connections, and notified the sheriff,
who at once left for the scene with
the coroner. The body was brought
to the city, but no one could identify
it. Yesterday, however when a large
number had viewed the body, 1t was
concluded that 1t was Ed Nelson. A
brother of Nelson and other members
of the family soon identified It. It
seems he had left his dry farm on Sun
day morning for Idaho Falls, and it is
supposed that he died from heart trou-
BILE, as he had been troubled with his
heart for the past two years. 1t Is
evident that the body had lain there

laterals is 50 miles. Therewere over
100000 cubic yards of dirt removed
in making the canals.
The freight paid by this district to
the Oregon Short Line and Pin roads
amounts to about 5000.
There are 21,54s acres under the
gravity system IN the Crane creek prof.
ect. or this there are 1000 acres on the
north side of the Weiser river, and H.
54s acres on the south side. At later
date the power possibilities of this
project will be developed, and then
there are 1914 acres on the north side
of the river that will get water through
a pumping system.
Six thousand acres under this prof.
est is already under cultivation. E. D.
Ford, the president and general mana
ger of the project, has 175 acres of
corn in the project, This corn is a
foot high and there is a good uniform
stand. This It's acres of corn was raw
sage brush land March 1, 1914. This
shows what can be done when proper
efforts are applied. Woods Bros, engi-
neers, this spring set out 1900 fruit
trees on their land in this project. They
are doing fine Many acres were seed
ed to alfalfa this spring.
Twenty Years to Pay Water.
Most of the land in this project is
patented. The water cost is $50 per
acre, payable in 20 years at per cent
interest The first 10 years no part OF
the principal is payable The payment
Of the principal begins with the elev-
enth year. This plan is an excellent one
for the settler as 1t gives him ample
time to get his farm developed and on
paying basis before he begins to pay
the principal on his water.
Men TO Whom Credit Is Due.
E. d. Ford, really and practically the
father of this project, is its president
and general manager. He. with A. G
Butterfield. r. j. Mckinney and e. M
Heigho, are the directors.
The Slick Bros. Construction COM
pany OF Boise, had the contract. They
will finish the odds and ends of the
project within two weeks.

sulting engineer: Zenas N Vaughn, Of

A Queer Confession

from the New fork Times.
 Hagerstown, Md.-Conscience stricken because she swore falsely to her age when she got marriage license here in 1887. an unidentified woman wrote a letter of confession to City Clerk Harry Davis, who turned 1t over to the present court clerk
 In her letter the woman. after breeding 27 years over her "sin" laments her wrongdoing as follows:
 'In 1887 I was married and as I am a child of God I must confess that I gave my age wrong to my intended husband when he took out the license I con. fessed my wrong to him also and later h, did the same.
 When he came from the court house with the license he spoke of kissing tn, Bible. I felt so unhappy that I wept many tears of agony. But I have trul, repented It is the only wrong in m, life that I cannot feel is made righ with God At that time I gave my az, as 30, but 1t was really nearer s4. I am now a widow"
 The unsigned letter was postmaked Hagerstown. It is thought that the woman formerly lived here and later went to Wisconsin. where her husband died She is probably on visit now to hei old home.

 His mind works with great rapidty. "I want to tell you the plot of new play" he once said to visitor as he en- tered the library ''rhe idea came to me as was unlocking the door. and worked out the whole plot as I was going up stairs, And he unfolded the story of one of his most successful plays.
 Now and then someone starts the story that Barrie has written himself out, that he has lost his touch. But his plays ap- pear with great regularity. and very few of them have been flat failures.

Carried Cheese Able to Walk

From the New York Tribune.
 Being big cheese has it's drawbacks There was no doubt of it yesterday morn ing on the first floor of the department of health offices when an irate man walk ed in with a bundle under his arms,
 The aroma from the package he was carrying trailed after 1t as unfalteringly as black smoke from the tunnels of a batteship.
 The olfactory organs of some of the employees of the department have become hardened from ordinary odors. bue even they were taken aback by this particular one.
 What have you got there?" asked a clerk in the complaint office
 "A big cheese" was the answer of the burden bearing visitor As he explained he unwrapped the article. ''It's a bad one want you helt artorities to do some thing
 Did you bring 1t down the subway?'
 Sure was the reply.
 Tt could have come down by itself. :" said the clerk. who advised the man to take 1t back home and place it on the fire escape and walt until an inspector made an investigation. The owner reluctantly took 1t away, threatening to dump 1t into the nearest garbage receptacle. He had ordered a cheese. a good one, and got very bad one.

Osborne, Kan.-To sleep 50 nights in Union Pacific and Central Pacific depots is one of the privileges of hiking trip Ralph H. Hamilton is making from Kansas City to San Francisco.

atmosphere. Our own Lowell and Long, fellow were interpenetrated by the Greek spirit The world of culture can not dis- pense with Greek. Nor can any student really grasp the full meaning of scientific termininalogy unless he knows Greek.
 Perhaps, however the discovery Of Dean West that the study of Greek leads to success In other subjects will have more effect than any other consideration In causing Greek to be retained in prepara- ton for a bachelor of arts degree.

The Study of Greek

The contention of Dean West Of the Princeton Graduate college that the stu dents in Princeton who take Greek as one of their subjects surpass all other stu dents in general scholarship will impress educators who have a love of the noble tongue of Hellas as an argument against the discontlnuance of Greek as compul- sorry feature in the classical course, says the Rocrester Post-Express. Dean West has investigated the Princeton records from 1907 to 1912 and has found that students of Greek have obtained high places in mathematics, physics and geol- ogy. Even in chemistry students who have made Greek a study have obtained distinction in the advanced senior courses. In philosophy in sophomore year Il per cent of the Greek students were In the first group. Tn history, economies and politics. students of Greek were far ahead of those who omitted It's study. In art and archaeology and in modern languages also students of Greek maintained the lead.
 The utilitarian theorists who would eliminate the study of Greek because they do not consider 1t indispensable for success in life have probably never taken the trouble to determine the value of Greek as means of cultivating brain power or developing some of the highest faculties such as perception. comparison and understanding. The language of the ancient Greeks was one of the most splen- did instruments ever devised for en- abling those who used it to see the inti- mate connection between thought and ex- pression One sentence of Aristotle has in it more lucidity In the interpretation of an idea than many pages of modern In clearness of definition only one modern language comes within even a measurable distance of Creek and that is French, which, being what perhaps the greatest master of the French tongue, Gustave Flaubert. has called 'worm-eaten language is, of course, in ferior to Greek in virility and fiexibility.
 That students who have read Plato in the original should surpass in philosophy those who have not is only natural Mac aulay was wrong when he put Bacon above Plato because the latter is an ideal ist and Bacon an experimentalist. In the most comprehensive sense idealism includes realism and harmonizes with 1t.
 The greatest minds of England, France, Germany and America fin the past were nodded by the influence of Greek litera- ture Burke, Berkeley, Coleridge and De Quincey were good Greek scholars.

 The name Gwendolyn sounded to father like a fire whistle out of tune; but he knew better than to openly oppose mother. Therefore he grew FOXY.

Because He Couldn't Work

An old inhabitant of Kirriemuir where Barrie was born was once questioned about the now distinguished dramatist. Young MT. Barrie had never been strong,' she said, he could never have gone to the mills. and so, as he couldna win his leevin' by workin' he took to writin' books"
 Whether for this reason, or because the lad showed an unusual talent for litera- ture, or because his father was a believ- CT in education, Barrie was sent to school. He was graduated from the University of Edinburgh when he was 22 years old He didn't do much of anything for sev- eral months; but when he saw an adver- tisement for a leader-writer on the Not tingham Journal he applied for the place and got it.
 He spent about two years on the pro- vincial paper and then went to London He had written a number of "Auld Licht, sketches for the St. James Gazette, and this had encouraged him to try his for tune in the great metropolis. The "Auld Licht" stories proved to be his salvation for sometime, and he turned out a great number of them. In short time his fame as writer of ability, and one pos sessing the rare gift of humor, was widespread.
 When his career in London was just beginning and checks from publishers were the rarest of blessings, MT. Barrie begged friend, who was also brother Scot to take charge of his small earnings, and give him money only as he needed it. The friend consented and for a year or more was puresbearer, safe deposit and paying teller all in one to his chum. But
