What remains of Kelly—a general store and a combined church school building—will be placed on rollers and moved to an altitude where the torrents of Snake River and its tributaries cannot again bring disaster. The flooding of Kelly resulted when the tiros Centre natural dam gave way last May. The dam was formed several years ago by a huge landslide along the Gros Ventre river. o— Aged Brother And Sister Are Killed By Interurban Greencastle.

PLAN MONUMENT TO J. APPLESEED Fort Wayne Historical Society Plans To Erect Monument Over His Grave Fort Wayne, Ind., July 27.—(UP) — Johnny Appleseed, first great advocate of re-forestation at last is to win a belated recognition according to announcement here today by Fort Wayne's Historical Society. Arrangements are being made to place a modest monument over the grave of the pioneer tree-plater and to make the spot a national shrine where those who love nature may pay their respects to the old wanderer’s memory.

Older citizens of Indiana still can recall Johnny’s quaint figure. They j used to meet him trudging along the road with a package on his back, usually munching an apple or whistling. Sometimes he would be at the [ roadside, solemnly planting the seeds of an apple he had just eaten. Folks laughed, but they couldn't help liking the old “tramp” as they called him. and he was always wel-' come at any pioneer home. He was , "company” of the most desirable sort, and the children could always be de-, pended upon to listen with open mouths to the tales of his wanderings. He was a long, lean, lank, barefooted man, according to old settlers. His hair was long and his beard straggly, but he had a kindly face, they say, and sparkling black eyes. He had a mission, so he said, to plant fruit trees, especially apple tres, along the roads which he traveled. How well he succeeded may be discovered by an automobile trip along the older highways of the state. Here and there can be seen fruit trees, mostly apple—along the edge of the road, and most of them the farmers will tell you, were planted by Johnny, years ago. Most of the trees are old and bent now: many have been cut down to make way for telephone and electric wires, but where they still stand their frirft is as delicious as when Johnny Appleseed used to pass them with a knowing nod and the remark: ’’That’s another one of mine." His real name was John Chapman, it is said. He was born in Massachusetts in 1775. In 1800 he began his tra'-ris in the west, and while he was regaided as eccentric, he was respected and loved by all. For fortyseven'years he traveled the western wilds; going barefoot most of (he time, even in winter; sleeping in the open preferably, but sometimes, if the weather was too inclement, on the cabin floor of some kind settler, with his knapsack for a pillow. He carried with him bushels of apple seeds, which he secured at cider mills in the states through which he travelled, and so enthusiastic was he in the scattering and planting of these seeds all over Ohio and Indiana, that folks gave him the nickname by which

Walter Va|rnes and Charles Eddy, of Independence, Kan., state that in June, 1125, after their attention had been attracted by an advertisement in an oil trade journal and they had partially investigated through correspondence with Fitzgerald and the proposition of taking over the Geneva holdings, they came to Detroit. Eight weeks later they purchased a controlling interest in the Pacific Holding corporation, paying $30,000 in cash and giving a note for $70,000. It "was their understanding that the property was worth well over $1,000,000, the belief being founded in large part upon an affidavit, to this effect signed by three Geneva oil men.
