HAS BARNES
CONFESSED?
PRISONER OF OPINION HE
HAS ADMITTED CRIME

Has Bud Barnes, who is now await
ing delth on the gallows for the muir
der of Mrs. AldHch, confessed to
Father Jones? Rumor is that he has,
while Father Jones, when seen last
night by a Union representative, re-
fused to confirm or deny the report.
Last week Barnes surprised the
sheriff and jailor by asking for a
priest. Father Jones was summoned
and the murderer accepted the Roman
Catholic religion. Since then Father
Jones has made three or four visits
to the condemned mans cell After
the first visit Father Jones walked
from the prison and made no state
ment. The second time he visited
Barnes. however, just before he took
his departure from the jail office he
said: Barnes will make a good Ro-
man Catholic" When one of that be-
lief was lnterrogated lcst night he
said such a remark would lead him
to believe that Barnes. in his confess
sion to the priest, had admitted hav-
ing taken the life of Mrs. Aldrich.
and that he now was seeking for
giveness.
Father Jones when first asked if
Barnes had confessed or not said he
had not. He afterwards stated how
ever. that the word confession in its
common Interpretation meant that
Barnes. during a social conversation
with the priest. had admitted having
! taken the life of Mrs. Aldrich. He
saiO, however, that Barnes might or
! might not have confessed the crime in
| his religious confession. but that he
would not be permitted under any cir
| cumstanceS to say so. When asked
! If he would make any statement after
! Barnes had been hanged, Father Jones
said: IF Barnes makes a statement
and asks that it be given to the world
after his death, l will most assuredIv
see that it is given to the world.

Plan Summer Resort.

The StrahOrn road, besides opening
a rich district to Walla Walla trade
and placing this city on the main line
OF a big transcontinental railroad will
afford Walla Walla people one of the
finest summer resorts in the entire
west. The Salmon river district a
wild and picturesque country is declar
ed by sportsmen, who have penetrated
list wilds to equal the famous Yellow
stone Park. The country is covered
with dense timber and high peaks rear
their heads above the clouds. Salmon
river, a wild mountain stream, teens
with trout and big game is abundant.
1t is stated that already in contem-
plation of the North Coast being built
into that district, a party of Walla
Wallans are seeking available sites for
a summer resort, either on top of the
mountains or on Salmon river. A big
summer hotel and natatorium, it is
said are among the plans already out
lined for the project. The company
proposes, it is said, to secure an avail
able site and plat the ground and by
improving it with water and sewer
systems to build up a summer resort
that will attract thousands of people
from the Inland Empire.

In the Feed Lot.

Wheat bran is preferable, however,
because it is less bulky.
Cow pea and alfalfa is an excellent
substitute for wheat bran for the dairy
COWS.
Corn makes fat, while alfalfa is rich
in f1esh-forming and bone building ma
terialS.
In feeding pigs shorts or alfalfa
beats wheat bran when used as one
quarter of the ration.
Hogs will not as a rule relish alfalfa
hay in the winter unless they have
previously been matured on the young
alfalfa
1t is a mistake to believe that alfalfa
is purely a fattening ration, especially
for calves On the contrary, it is a
growing ration.
In feeding beet pulp the best results
have been obtained by using two
pounds Of pulp to one pound Of grain
in the ration for hogs.
Very slowly our farmers are coming
to recognize the value Of roots in feed
ing all kinds Of farm animals. We
ought to grow more Of them.

Restriction of Fertility.

Prof. Spillman says it seldom pays
to turn under a crop Of COW peas i'll
the green state. 1t is better practice
to make hay Of them, feed the hay
and put the manure back on the land.
AS is the case with all 1egumes, the
roots of the COW pea crop ado a great
deal Of nitrogen to the soil, and have
a marked effect on fertility. If a heavy
green crop Of COW peas is plowed IN
der in the autumn it is best not to
plant the land until the following
spring. A very good plan for bringing
up the fertility Of a WORKOUT field is to
sow rye in the fail, plow this under
in the spring, harrow thoroughly, let
the land lie a month, and then SOW
COW peas. Cut the peas for hay and
SOW rye again. A few seasons Of such
treatment will restore fertility to the
soil. Fortunately, both of these crops
will grow on very poor land

Ancient AEricuIture.

Why agriculture, the first industry
to be learned and SO obviously the most
fundamental, was the last to be de-
Teloped is one of the most battling mys-
teries Of hist lry. One marvels at it
afresh as one stands before a certain
glass case in the Egyptian quarter of
the British Museum, wherein is a lit
tie group OF farm utensils-a fractured
wooden pillow; rusted sickle, two
sticks tied together with a leathern
thong and several tassels that had
hung on the horns Of oxen. To be
sure, these implements were used 5000
years ago-they were found in the
tomb Of Seti but one remembers
that when Egypt was using these
bread tools, no better than those Of the
barbarlans about her. she had g most
elaborate government, an army and
navy and art and literature.
The records and relics of other ma
lions down through history show the
same strange incongruity. For thou
sands Of years the wise men Of the
world absolutely ignored the problems
Of the farm. A farmer remained either
serf or tenant. He was 8 stolid
drudge-'hrother to the OK" Even the
masterfrl old pilgrim fathers had no
plows at all-nothing but hoes and
sharp sticks-for the first twelve years
of their pioneering. And therefore for
thousands Of years there was hunger
