GRAND VIEW AFTER THE COUN-
TY SEAT

A movement is now on foot to
move the county seat of 0wyhee
county from Silver City to Grand
View. The eastern half of the coun-
ty as a whole seems to be generally
back of the project, as it is realized
that the county capital should be
in a more accessible locality.
The Republican believes that the
placing of the county seat at Grand
View would make for the best in
terests of the county as a whole, as
it is accessible for the larger centers
of population. 1t would also be in
a productive locality.
Mountain Home would be particu-
larly benefited by having the seat
of government at Grand View, as the
town enjoys good trade from that
progressive locality, and this will
grow with the development OF the
Grand View and Bruneau sections.
The men who are devoting their
time to the county seat removal
scheme are deserving of all the as
sistance which Mountain Home can
give them.

Tells Amherst Students U. s.
Policy Is UninfIuenced by
Concession Hunters
81 InternatIOnal News Service.

By International News Service.
AMHERST, Mass, June 18-Sec-
retary OF State Charles e. Hughes,
speaking at the alumni luncheon Of
Amherst College here this noon,
flung down the gauntlet to the
foes OF American diplomacy who,
he says, have charged the State
j Department with being an agency
OF international bankers and con-
cession hunters"
There are those" he said, "who
still repeat the false statement that
the position of this Government at
Lausanne was determined BY the
Chester concession, g statement
which have repeatedly and un.
eQuivoc4lly denied. This Govern.
.ment took no part in securing that
concession. this Government made
no barter Of its rights for this or
any other concession.
Then you win find some Of
our business mem asserting that II
we backed UP more actively our
interests abroad, as 1t is said some
Governments do, they would have
greater success. However, / see no
indication Of any relative failure of
our legitimate business interests
abroad.
Loans to foreign Governments
are made on the investment basis.
Our people have resources which
can be used in aiding productive
enterprises in other countries. That
is one important way to help. But
1t is the help of private enterprise
and Is extended on the basis of
private negotiation and investment.
This Government has no control
over such enterprises. We have
asked, and received, information as
to foreign loans TO the end, not
that proper enterprises should be
shackled or that this Government
should assume any responsibility
for the making or security of loans,
but that we might at least have
the opportunity Of indicating dis.
approval of loans for unproductive
enterprises and especially of loans
sought to build UP ornaments and
facilitate military expenditures
abroad.
Speaking Of the relations between
the United States and the Latin
American republics, he said:
Our Government has no in.
trigues. no secret agreements. no
hidden politics. And when history
fully reveals our actual relations at

beauty, permanence and staplnty,
none possesses the infinite variety
Of figure and grain of mahogany:
George HeppIewhite was one OF
the masters with Chippendale, Sher-
atom and Adam and others who cx-
clusively used "the Royal Wood" In
their masterpieces Of furniture.
Not much is known OF Hepple-

It Is thought that he originated the

with the winged chair in which
the sides are carried to the same

Perhaps the widest divergence be-
