Violations Frequent.
Violations OF military regulations
are frequent, however. Almost daily
the newspapers tell of courts-mar-
tial at Dublin castle, headquarters OF
the British army there. Windows OF
magazine stores and book shops are
filled with pamphlets whose head
lines shout defiance to the British
military rule" Sim Fein propaganda
is displayed and sold everywhere to-
gether with pictures of Edward De
Valera. the fugitive Sim Fein leader
and his lieutenants.
Men are arrested, fined and some
times imprisoned for singing Sim
Fein songs" said Secretary Shehau,
OF the Sim Fein national council.
Despite this show OF armed pre-
paredness by England. the Irish are
going quietly about organization of
the So called Irish republic.
"'lnvisible government is the term
used to describe the government of
the Irish national assembly, because
it is regarded as existing along ide

Commercial Club Organized to Fur
ther the Welfare of that Town

Our sister town of Montour doesn't
propose to permit its splendid re-
sources to be dormant any longer, and
is mapping out campaign of develop
ment that will place that community
in line with other progressive COM
munities.
At meeting held Saturday evening

ing the welfare of the Montour coun-
try and upper Gem county. The club
starts out with a membership of 80,
and the officers viii be chosen at a

Some of the things proposed to be
undertaken are as follows: First to
organize an irrigation district on the
land about Montour; second, to secure
the building of good roads, promoting
the efficiency of the schools, organize
q better telephone system, secure cleo
trio lights and power for the village
of Montour and nearby community
and other things which may be of
interest in the development of the
There is 60-horsepower
water plant near the village going to

are full of good material
for the making of good roads, and the
big farm belonging to the Mcconnell
brothers, on which Montour stands, is
divided up into small tracts and is
being sold to home builders and new
people who are being added TO the
town.

KUCKKU
KILLED
News of His Death in May Received
Through Red Cross

That William H. Kuckku was killed
in action at the battle of Cantigny
May %, 1918, is the information re-
ceived this week by his wife from the
National headquarters of the Red
Cross, in response to an earnest re-
quest from her to ascertain what had
become OF him. The last word re-
ceived by Mrs. Kuckku from her hus-
band was in a letter dated May 26,
two days before his death, In that
letter he stated that he was writing
while under shell fire. No official in
formation has yet been received from
the war department.
Mr.. Kuckku left Emmett on Octo-
Der 8, 1917, for Camp Lewis with
seven other registrants, among whom
was John Davies, who also made the
supreme sacrifice. He was in camp
only four weeks, when he left for
overseas.
The letter from the Red Cross fol-
lows:
"My dear Mrs. Kuckku:-The Paris
mail which reached US yesterday
brought US very sad answer to the
inquiries which we sent on two separ-
ate occasions to our representatives
in France, asking for report on your
husband at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The investigation has brought
US the distressing information that
your husband was killed in action at
the battle of Cantigny on May %,
1918. We received an answer to our
inquiries of Aug. goth and Oct. 9th
in the same mail, and both were sent
on Dec 18th, reaching US only yes
terday. We have received no official
from the War Depart
ment of your husbands death, but we
are convinced that the report of our
Red Cross representative abroad is alb
conclusive, in view of the
careful and the exhausted search that
ne has made.
"In such grief as yours, We know
that it is useless to offer words of
comfort, but we would like to express
,ur deep and heartfelt sympathy in
your great sorrow"

l. o. ANNUAL MEETING
Idaho Oregon Fruit Association Elect
Officers for Year.

The Idaho Oregon Fruit Growers
association, composed of locals at En-
NETT, New Plymouth, Fruitland and
Payette, held its annual meeting at
Payette on Tuesday and elected the
following directors for the ensuing
year: Loe Reed and E. C. Vahlberg,
Emmett; A. J. Shearer and T. ]. Beck

Graham and D. L. Ingard, Fruitland;
H. C. Pryor, George J. Shook, New
Plymouth. The directors will organ
ize at a meeting to be held Feb 10.
The association decided to revise the
constitution. The principal bylaw to
be changed will change the method
of distribution. Each of the four To-
Gals in the association will have full
charge of its own pooling and make
the distribution of money to the grow
ers from its office. The effect of this
will be quicker returns of money to
the growers from the sales of fruit.

MOLASSES IN RATION
FOR SHEEP
j. E. Clinton Feeding $4,000
Woolies on Alfalfa, Grain
and Molasses

The j. E. Clinton Sheep Company is
feeding $4,000 head of sheep on their
ranch near Hanna on ration Of
chopped alfalfa. and grain mixed with
molasses, and the woolies like it and
grow fat upon it.
A modern mill for grinding the feed
and mixing it with molasses has been
installed. The alfalfa mill has a capa-
city of four tons per hour, and is fed
automatically. AS the alfalfa meal
passes from the chopper, the required
amount of grain is added TO it from
spout Alfalfa and grain are
thoroughly mixed, and then carried in
conveyors on an endless chain beneath
pipes containing molasses. The mo-
lasses is heated to a thin consistency
and forced through small perforations
in the pipes in a spray over the feed,
and then carried 10 the feeding
troughs.
Fifteen tons of the combination are
required to satisfy the hunger of the
sheep every day. Theirs is sweet
tooth and they are ravenous for the
as it might be called.

DOUGLAS KNOX 76
YEARS OLD
Resident of Idaho 50 Years-Is
the Father of the Emmett
Public Schools

Monday, January 27th, marked the
18th milestone in the life of one of
Emmett's oldest citizens-Mr Doug
las Knox-a man known the country
through, and as widely respected as
he is known.
Coming into this great west 55
years ago, Mr.. Knox has seen it grow
from the widest stage of civilization
to its present thrifty condition. His
life has been one of varied scenes and
accomplishments.
Born in Ohio in 1843, he went to
Nebraska, then a wild country, when
but 4 youngster, and at the age of
21 started westward, answering the
"call of the Wild" He joined company
with an OK caravan carrying 40 peo-
pie across the plains, some bent on
adventure, others wild with the lure
of the wonderful gold reports. Four
months of varied experiences, with
all Its yicissitudes and trials. and not

OPEN SCHOOL, THEATER
and CHURCHES
Influenza Ban Lifted on All
Public Gatherings Except
Dance Halls

The board of health this morning
lifted the ban on all public gather
ings, except dances, and Ideal theatei
will open Saturday night, the churches
on Sunday and the city schools on
Monday morning. The ban on dances
is to be continued one week longer
| The program for next weeks attrac-
tions at the Ideal is given in another
column. After being shut in for
nearly six weeks, people generally are
hungry for entertainment and will
welcome the opportunity to once more
enjoy themselves.
Superintendent Goodwin makes the
following announcements:
Emmett schools will reopen Monday.
Let all pupils be present and ready to
do good, faithful work.
Parents and pupils notice especially
the change in the time schedule. The
morning session will open at $50 and
close at the usual time. The after
noon session will open at l and close
at for the higher grades, but some
what earlier for the lower grades.
1t is now planned to make the years
promotions. All those pupils who will
work hard and be present all the
time have a good chance to pass to the
next grade. On the other hand, those
who do not start in promptly, and who
do not attend regularly will have very
little chance to pass.
Those parents who expect to start
children in the First grade the second
term will please start them now-next
Monday. All children who will be
years of age before school closes in
May are entitled to start in at the first
of the second term. If they do not
start at the first of the term they
must wait till next year, as we cannot
begin another class later in the year.
My advice to parents as to starting
children to school in the middle of the
year is this: If the children are large
and strong and healthy and are 6
years old, or nearly so, it is very well
to start them; otherwise it is better
to wait till next fall. AS rule it is
better to begin at the first of the year.
The pupils seem to be stronger, especi-
ally in the lower grades.
Teachers meeting for next Sat
urday as follows: Junior high school
at 10 a. m. All others grades at 2
p. m. High school teachers at p. m.

without its pleasures, brought the
party into the Boise Basin, and to the
| little plot in the sagebrush covered
with tent dwellings and shacks which
became. Boise City" This was a
trading center, provisions of all kinds
being freighted in from UmatiIla, and
of course became the setting for the
enactment of such tragedies as ac-
company the development Of an abb
solutely new mining country.
Mr. Knox's memory is perfectly
clear on all these locations and dates
and he enjoys recOunting the pleasures
and privationS of those years of pion-
eering. He states that the picturiza-
tions of the movies" are very true
/ to life with the exception of the In
dian scenes. These, he says, belong
purely to the Red man-the white man
can not stage the Indian in life-like-
ness. Personally, his experiences with
the red rovers were never disastrous
nor even disagreeable. But his broth
er John, who is here from Salmon
River country, in crossing the plains
participated in some thrilling encoun-
tiers.
Mr.. Knox's first home in Emmett
was homestead tract now occupied
by the Boise Payette mill. Later he
moved into the present townsite. He
is extremely modest about relating
his own accomplishments, but one
thing he takes great delight in is in
looking back over the development of
the Emmett schools, feeling keen
satisfaction in having been an active |
factor in establishing the district, and
in building the first schooihouse, in |
1871. This schoolhouse still stands on
the Webb place. Associated with
him in the furtherance of school ac-
commodations was James Wardwell,
father of Mrs E. K. Hayes, donor of
the site upon which the Wardwell |
school building stands, and in 1884 the 1
Washington building, still in use, was 4
erected. As time went by and it be- /
came necessary to enlarge the school
capacity, Mr.. Knox opposed vigorously
the enlargement of the old frame
structure, contending for the erection
of substantial, modern brick build
ing, which was finally done. Dave
Sr., and Matt Martin were
the other trustees, and in the ensuing
35 years, Mr.. Knox has served contin-
uously on the Emmett school board,
with the exception of one year which
he spent in the upper country and
one year as assessor of Ada county.
And now, as always, there is no mem
Der of the board TO whose heart the
advancement of school interests has
a more sacred Importance.
During all these years of pioneer
ing, Mr.. Knox and his good wife we're
with the rearing of 8 chill
iren, all of whom are living and rear
ing families Of their own. With the
birth Of q son to the Walter Knox
,amily recently, TIE asth grandchildt
