: BIG CONCERN INTERESTED.
Miner. Mackayl

Pat Keenan,, who has been operating
the Canady group of claims under "A
lease and bond, producing a car a day
from the very start, has sold out to the
United States Smelling, Refining and
Exploration company, one of the big
gest and most powerful financial con-
Germs in the United States and one Of
the largest operating companies en-
gagged in mining in the world.
In speaking of the deal Mr.. keenan,
stated that large cash payment had
been made, one that was sufficient to
assure the ultimate contamination of
the transfer to this big concern. Mr..
keenan, would not state the purchase
price, but said it was for a large sum.
In commenting upon the deal he said
that financially powerful concern,
such as his successors, could operate
the property, which is low grade lead
carbonate, at much greater profit than
small operator and that while ne
hated to part with property that paid
with the first shovel of dirt, yet he was
glad to be a factor in bringing into
this camp a concern of the standing
and experience of the United States
Smelling, Refining and Exploration
company.
The ground consists of three claims
and is located between and contiguous
to the Empire Copper company and
Horse Shoe Copper company groups
! Donnie d. Muir, the western manager
of the Exploration department of the
| concern, arrived in the city the first Of
the week and is in active control. He
| is well known engineer and regards
the Mackay district as one Of the big
Corners.
| Mr.. Keenan, has been working a force
OF 20 men, but the new company will
materially increase the force. putting
on about 20 men on development work.
The lower tuAnel is to be continued
for a thousand feet and drifting fol-
lowed on all the leads cut.
| The advent Of the United States
Smelling, Refining and Exploration
company into the Mackay district is
one of the best recommendations the
camp has ever had and gives the dis
trict its second big financial company
| In the mining field.

CHANGE IN ATTITUDE
OF FRENCH PRESS

Athens, Sept. 27.-The French press
of Athens, which for the last month
has been sharply assailing King Con-
stantine and flouting every suggestion
that he could honestly be DESTROYS OF
silent yesterday.
The entire Greece-entente situation
has changed over night and 1t is re-
ported that the entry of Greece into
the war has suddenly become a mere
question of days on the terms King
Constantine intimated to the Asso-
ciated Press Aug. 81, namely. a guar
antee of the integrity OF Greece and a
loan sufficient to equip the army and
cover the cost of rehabilitation.
The Associated Press learns that the
GOODNESS of the diplomats, the indif-
ference of their governments and the
bitterness of the press Of the entente
powers was due to a suspicion of the
sincerity of King Constantine's desire
to enter the war, which was based on
q private conversation between the
king and an entente diplomat almost
D month ago and which the entente
governments are said to have regarded
ms revealing the true attitude of the
monarch. Notwithstanding repeated Of
lcial and unofficial assurances to the
contrary.
The publication of the kings dec
laration first opened the eyes of the
entente representatives to the posi-.
bility that they might be misjudgins

frank explanations. The reiterated Of

Circumstances compel me to form

General Constantine Moschopoulos,
chief of staff of the Greek army, and
500 officers have signed a memorial ad-
dressed to the king, demanding that
Greece abandon it's neutrality. Early

From State Exchanges
MONEY IN IDAHO STOCK.
(Tribune, Lewtston.)

A total of "a carloads of cattle and
hogs was handled through Lewiston
yesterday by the Canas Prairie Rail
rc..d company and ell but two carloads
originated at points on Camas prairie.
The bulk of the shipment was cattle
for coast packing houses and the value
of a carload of cattle is about $500,
while the value of carload of hogs
is about $1,000. It Is estimated the
shipment made yesterday will return
to the farmers and stockmen of the
central Idaho country no less than
$4,000. The consignment yesterday is
little more than q normal shipment
made weekly from the prairie country.
The reports made by buyers are that
beef cattle are quite plentiful but hogs
are scarce and heavy shipments of
hogs will not be made until we'll into
the winter. The price OF cattle at the
present time Is about 8 cents for
steers and cents for cows, but some
of the steers included In the ship
ment yesterday brought eA cents at
Grangeville.
The best price paid for beef this
season was cents but this was for
steers that had been, fed. while the
beef now being marketed was fattened
on the range and the present price
| to the grower is better than the
cents paid for fed stock. The season
has been especially favorable for the
stockmen and there has been an abun-
dance of good feed on the ranges al
all times.

POLITICAL BOOTHS AT
THE FAIR ARE CLOSED

The board Of directors of the Gem
State fair today ordered the two po-
litical booths--Republican and Demo-
cratic--out of the exhibition hall. as 1t
did not desire to have politics inject
ed into the affairs OF the association.
The Republican and Democratic state
and county headquarters had rented
space in the hall and installed a gal
lery of handsome candidates as well as
a large amount OF literature. 1t seems
the Republicans decorated their booth
first and the Democrats followed
promptly thereafter. Yesterday objec-
ton was raised to the Republican booth
but 1t was pointed out the Democrats
had also rented space and this an
swered the objection until the board of
directors decided to eliminate all con-
troversy and question by deciding that
there would be less trouble II both
were taken out.
