MONTOuR

The biggest real estate deal made
in Gem county in 1916 was the sale of
1876 acres at Montour to Mcconnell
Bros. for $4,000. The land involved
in the sale is widely known as the old
Marsh Ireton ranch, and includes the
present unsold portions Of the town
site of Montour. The transfer to Nc
Cornell Bros was made by +. II. and
w. c. Dewey Of Nampa, in December.
Mcconnell Bros. are the we'll known
sheepmen Of Gem county. They pur-
chased the big ranch for the purpose
Of raising hay and grain for their
sheep and of making this their winter
and lambing camp. The place Isl
ideally situated for all Of these pur
poses. Mr.. Mcconnell when seen stat
ed that the ranch this spring will be
put down to red clover, alsike clover
and grain. A caterpillar tractor will
be used to do the blowing. There are
several very large barns on the ranch.
They will be converted into lambing
sheds. The Idaho Northern track
divides the ranch in two. The rail
road makes it possible to ship the
wool, lambs and sheep directly off the
ranch. Mr.. Mcdonnell stated their
land holdings, owned and leased, con
sist of 5000 acres, and extend from a /
point ON Anderson creek three miles /
west of Montour to their allotment in
the forest reserve Through the pur
chase Of the big ranch at Montour Nc
Council Bros. have one of the best lay
outs in the state for the conducting
of large and successful sheep bust
ness.
Montour is the railroad shipping
point for the rich Squaw creek valley,
he principal towns of which are Sweet
and Ola. One hundred and forty-nine
carloads of wool, grain and livestock

will be pursued in dealing with them.
Included in the classes of persons
with whom the department soon may
deal are the so-called soap box ora
tors Of New York and other large
cities; writer's and publishers, in a
few instances, conn "cted with the
German language press in this coun-
try, so-called conscientious objec-
tors and a large number of individ-
uals not classified among the fore
going, whose activities have led them
to be regarded as the active friends
of Germany in this country.
For months the government has
been collecting tremendous amount
OF evidence which can be utilized in
prosecutions in connection with yes
terday's seizure Of I. w. w. papers
and other prosecutions contemplated
In the near future.
Telegraphic reports from all sec
tions were received by the depart
ment to-day telling the results Of yes
terday's raids. A great mass Of doc
umentary matter was obtained and
all Of this will be gone over carefully
by local United States attorneys with
a view to determining the truth Of
charges against persons identified
with the organization against whom
there had heretofore been no actual
proof.

WESTERN LIVE STOCK TO SOUTH
Meat Animals Growing Alar1ningly
Scarce-Help offered Farmers.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Secretary
Houston to-day opened the confer
once of the United States live stock
industries committee, called to dis
cuss the advisability of removing
breeding stock from the West to the
East and South, where more rough
iood Is procurable. The committee,
comprising 100 cattlemen and stock
experts, is going over its plans to-day
with officials Of the food administra-
ion and Department Of Agriculture.
Herbert Hoover, food administra-
cor, told the conference that with the
world facing meat shortage Amer
lea must increase it's production to
meet the heavy demand in Europe.
'"The world" said Mr.. Hoover, SIS
millions short OF food animals. Eu-
ropes agricultural map will be
changed after the war and the allied
countries will turn more to bread
stuffs production That means that
this country for long years after the
war must be the meat producing
country of the world"
Secretary Houston outlined the De-
partment of Agriculture's plan for
shifting large quantities OF breeding
cattle and sheep from the Western
ranges to the Southern and Eastern
States. Some Of the Southern
States, he said. have an average of
only one or two meat animals to the
farm, while in Iowa the average is
more than 70.
Federal financial aid to live stock
producers was assured to the grow
ers by w. p. G. Harding, Of the Fede-
raj Reserve Board, and Herbert
Quick, Of the Federal Farm Loan
Board.
Plans the railroads are making to
help move stock to the East and
South were outlined by Daniel Will
lard, Of the Conucil of National De-
fense.

Gangs in Ireland Set Upon Ameri-
cans With Sweethearts.

London, Sept. ATTACKS on
American sailors on Sunday night are
reported in q dispatch from Corr t.
the Chronicle. 1t is said that gangs
Of young men para1ed the streets anu
set upon the Americans, who were
accompanied by t.ieir sweethearts.
One instance cited is that Of two
Americans who were attacked on the
cnief street of ColE, a young woman
with them being insulted and having
her hat torn off. The correspondent
reports that the sailors did nothing
improper or contrary to good taste to
invite the attack, and, as far as could
be learned, did not retaliate. They
escaped on a tram car.
All the girls who suffered at the
hands of the crowds, the dispatch
says, belong to the respectable mid
die classes.
An attempt was made At II !, NJ.
to break into places where Ameri-
cans are staying, but after a short
siege the attackers departed.
Several parties paraded the streets
singing Sim Fein" songs and per-
forming military evolutions. Some
windows were broken. One party
rsided the premises of an officers
training corps and stole Sc rifles. 80
revolvers and number Of swords.
none Of which had been recovered at
the time of writing the dispatch, nor
had any arrests been made
: The correspondent reports that he
talked with several American sailors
yesterday, and that they believed the
affair was organized. but were not
aware of the reason. They said they
had been well treated hitherto in
ireland.

Fountain Inn School Building Burns
(Greenville News, 7th.)

A telephone message received by
the News at midnight last night stat
ed that the handsome $4,000 high
school building at Fountain Inn was
bathed in flames and that there we're
no hopes Of saving it from complete
destruction.
Causes of the fire were not known,
the first alarm coming from passers-
by who saw the wreaths of smoke
coming from the roof of the building.
When fire fighters reached the scene
the flames had spread beyond con-
troll and they were unable to control
them at all.
The building was a comparatively
new one, having been built only a few
years ago. 1t had two stories and
was Of brick. 1t was known as one
Of the finest school buildings in the
State and was credit to Greenyille
county and the Piedmont section. Its
equipment was unsurpassed by any
city school building.
The session was to have opened
Monday. Other arrangements will
likely be made this morning for the
opening Of the school, regardless of
the disaster that has been brought
upon the people.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells How to Loosen Tender Corn
or Callus So it Lifts Out
Without Pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who
have at least once week invited an
awful death from lockjaw or blood
poison are now told by a Cincinnati
authority to use drug called free
zone, which the moment a few drops
are applied to any corn or callus the
soreness Is relieved and soon the en-
tire corn or callus, root and all, lifts
off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it Is
applied, and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without infaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone will
cost very little at any OF the drug
stores. but will positively rid ones
feet OF every hard or soft corn or
hardened callus. II your druggist
hasn't any freezone he can get 1t at
any wholesale drug house for you.

THREE ARE BURNED TO DEATH
In Auto Wreck Near Macon-One
Woman from South Carolina.

Macon, Ca, Sept. 6.---Charlie B.
Brady, merchant and farmer who
resided near Dublin; Miss Gladys G.
Howard, Of Dublin, and Miss Russell
Young, Of Macon, we're burned to
death early this morning when
Ford automobile in which they were
riding plunged over a steep embank
ment about one mile from Pixies
Head, in Twiggs county, and twelve
miles from Macon. The burned car
and the remains Of the three bodies
were discovered early this morning a
few hours after the tragedy, but it
was not until several hours later that
the bodies were identified.
According to the best information
obtainable here, the party left Dub
lin last night at 7.3O o'clock, headed
for Macon. They reached Jefferson
vile about 10 o'clock and stopped at
drug store there for refreshments,
and then continued their journey.
Apparently they were driving with
out lights and failed to see the turn
in the road where the car plunged
over the embankment. In the ruins
of the wreck this morning a bottle
partially filed with whiskey was
found. Whether the occupants of the
car had been drinking is not known.
When the car plunged over the
embankment, the occupants were
pinned under the machine. The gas
oline in the tank exploded and all
that was left of the car was the steel
framework. The bodies were burned
beyond recognition.
From the license tag on the car it
was learned at the Office of the Sec
retary of State in Atlanta that the
machine belonged to Charlie B. Bra
dy, of Dublin. A gold watch, also
found in the ruins where Brady's
body had been burned, assisted in
the Identification. Later friends
from Dublin went to Jeffersonville,
where the charred remains of the
bodies had been taken and identified
the body of the man as that of Brady.
They also gave the information
which led to the Identification of the
two women.
The three members of the nartv
were we'll supplied with funds. It Is
understood. Each Is said to have had
more than 500, and the charred
portions of some of the hills wore
found in the wreckage. A number
Of silver coins were also found.
