Tho body was recovered Tuesday afternoon with considerable difficul ty by tho crow and tho coroner. Tho jam of Iocs had formed on some rocks in the middlo of a vory swift nnd dangerous rapids, and in remov ing tho logs off tho body and taking tho body ashore it was necessary to work waist deep in tho swift current. Tho body was found to bo in n fair state of preservation for tho length of time it had been in the wa ter on account of the coldness of the water and not beintr exposed to the air. Tho remains were removed by the coroner to Gold Hill for interment at tho expene of the county, as ho was without means and the coroner was not able to locate any of his rela tives. The deceased was a native of Can ada and was about 25 years old. No inquest was held upon the body, as several witnesses were present and tho death was purely accidental.

Approxi mately 12,000,000 benoficial insects wore distributed freo to tho crop pro ducers of California during that pe riod. This is an average of nearly 500,000 insects for each working day of tho month, and is inndicHtivo of the capacity of that institution when its resources aro fully developed. Tho output of comys fuscu. tho parasite on tho brown apricot calo, wn unprecedented and exceeded in muubors Hint of auv season iu tho I history of tho state commission ol 'horticulture'. More than l,200 col onies, containing n total of 100,000 of these nctivo litte flies, wore bred out, collected, packed and distributed io infected orchards during May. This ereut increase in numbers is in a measure duo to improved meth ods of handling the material, devised and put iu operation for the first time during the past month, and which not alone doubled the collect ing facilities but eliminated tho no sibility of any foreign material going out wth tho colonics. Another feature connected with the distribution of comys fuscn was in troduced this season. The develop ment of insect life varies with each locality. To be successfully estab lished, parasites must be introduced during the time when the particular insect thnt they attack is iu th con dition best suited to their needs. With a knowledge of these facts, a scries of seudiugs covering a period of four weeks was made to each ap plicant in the hoie thnt the parasites in at least one of the series would be liberated at the most opportune time for success iu each infested locality. NO REST FOR THE WEARY WILLIE Night Policeman Kiucaid found n bunch of hoboes camped along the railroad track inside the city limits Friday morning nnd stirred them out before their usual hour of arising. "This town is to the bad," growled, one tourist, as ho hiked down tho, trnck. "If n fellow wants to stay up all night the bulls run him in. If, he Roe to sleep they make him got up before ho wants to." I Mr. and Mrs. O. H. PanUoy returned yesterday from their two week's visit with rolatlvo3 in Klamath county.

Wednesday evening tho main busi ness attended to was tho passing of tho water ordltr.nce. Tho mattor of water rates caused much discussion ns thoro was difference in opinion In as to the rates. It was finally dccldod that $1.25 per month would bo a Just tux for tho ordinary dwelling houso, Irrigating gardens and lawns will bo charged for at extra rates, and hotels, harbor shops, largo boarding houses, etc., will be taxed under special rules. Mrs. N. W. Jones of Cardell, Oltla., arrived In Contrnl Point Thursday evonlng to make an extondod visit to her sou, T. M. Jones, our well known houso furnisher and undertkor. Mrs. Jones is S3 years of ago and has mndo tho journey entirely alone.

Mr. Lovaill is u prominent educator iu that part of tho state, and hns quite extensive property inter ests, which ho expects to dispose of bofore coming west. Ho hns, how over, announced his intention of com ing, with his family, to Oregon in August nnd will como directly to Cen tral Point", where ho will doubtless locate If conditions are promising. Xow this citv mny nnd doubtless will breathe a long suppressed sigh of relief, as some measure ,of pro tection at least is to be furnished us in tho installment of the water sys tem with hydrants scattered all over tho city and a fairly offectivo hoso and ladder equipment. Tho hoso cart, ladders, hose, etc., arrived on Thurs day and tho next thing In ordor will bo tho organization of a fire depart ment.

Finally tho marshal threatened to run him In for disorderly conduct It ho didn't tnko the thing out of eight."
