Locate Nude Corpse of Char
les Puts, of Salmon City,
on Lonely Island in River
Lost Since Last October,
When Raft on Which He
Was Riding Was Wrecked

Cast up by turbulent waters on an
island in Salmon river, near the Crofot
place, twenty miles upstream from the
Sillge ferry, and about twenty miles
east of Dixie, the unclothed body of
Charles Puts, Of Salmon City, was
found Tuesday, according to adyices
feceived by the sheriff's office in

down the raging, turbulent Salmon
river, but long before he had reached
the place where his body was found
the raft was wrecked ON the rocks
and Puts was drowned. His clothing

body when it was dashed against jag
ged rocks in the river. Finally il was
washed ashore ON the desolate island
where it was discovered
Because of inaccessibiiity OF the
place, Idaho county authorities will not
90 to the scene. Friends of the dead
man at Salmon City will leave that
place in boat for the island and will
bury the body of Puts.

ARISTOCRACYO OF BRAINS
Dartmouth President Favors Wedding
Out Students in Some Schools.

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 3f.-Dr. Ernest
NJ. Hopkins, president of Dartmouth
College. who urges that the billiards
and shirkers be weeded out of the col
leges TO make room for young nIen and
women of native ability, declared that
his theories have been misunderstood.
He eliminates the great universities
from consideration as important factors
in building an "aristocracy Of brains. "
The great state universities proba-
bly, would find it difficult or impossi-
bic TO get revenue for their support il
they attempted wedding out processes. "
DR.. Hopkins said. This is the work
that will have to be done by the pri-
vately endowed college"
"The universities will have to solve
the problem for themselves"
DR.. Hopkins declaration was made
after an address before the chamber OF
commerce in which he said there was
nothing new in his idea of an aristoc.
race Of brains.
"There never was a time in the
worlds history when An aristocracy of
brains was not the dominant factor, "
DR.. Hopkins declared in his address.

there is tendency to think of some
thing snobbish. when we think of arts

military alliance at later time, is,
