We meant to say last week,
but too late for the press, that
November was a model month,
giving farmers plenty of time to
store up their winter feed.
E. C. Wilson and Billy Brewer

from George Abernathy's plenti-
full stack yard, and A. B. Stump
is supplying the rest of his neigh

his supplies.
Oscar Gudgel gracefully falls

If you are skeptical as to the
bumper feed crop at the various
points of the compass, just take
a trip in your auto and ascertain
for yourself. People are not
bragging,tbut they are better
fixed with feed than for several
years.

Bush Familiar With Situation.
Mr.. Bush has seen Tacoma's
tideflats, her waterways, has
studied the Bogue plans and was
quite familiar with the local
problem when he spoke to the
Times today.
Naturally the guest of Mr..
Ashton in the city, he would not
take any sides in the local situa-
ton on which the people are di-
viding and on one side of which
Mr.. Ashton's interests are con-
cerned.
But as a man whose life work
is in waterfront and industrial
development he has his opinions
and his little description of the
future picture he sees possible
for Tacoma as he outlined 1t on
the table was interesting.
Doubly interesting from the
fact that it is almost the exac,
duplicate of just what Mayor Sey-
mour and Commissioner Freeland
have been planning and toward
which they have already taken the
initial steps.
Mr.. Bush could not be expect
ed to say to the city it ought 10
buy the Northern Pacif1cs hold
ings and he did not. But his sug-
gestion Is in direct harmony with
just what the city commissioners
are working on.
II want to impress the thought
that the waterfront end OF the
business will not be profitable
considering the investment for a
long time probably" said Mr..
Bush. "But the city invests large
ly in parks and in other properties
for municipal advantage and i feel
that the city could wisely secure
an area adjacent to this water
front for the development / have
outlined. Let it remain there, an
open invitation to industries
placed there on a systematic plan
with all facilities at hand for al
vantageous business development
Get enough of 1t so the city can
in years to come offer sites for
industries on low ground rental
and when. values have raised IN
other cities Tacoma will be able
to offer especially attractive IN
ducements. Let the rental be
graduated from the first, increas-
ing as the business becomes es-
tablished and in time 1t will be a
source of great income as well as
the means of great Industrial de-
velopment."
This is exactly the plan already
outlined by the mayor and Com
missioner Freeland and which
was first suggested by A. ". Faw-
cett who proposed to take In all
the N. P. holdings between the
city and middle waterways.
This project does NOT require
the port commission or any addl-
tional legislation. The city coun-
Gil by simply increasing the tar
levy to the extent that poor com.
mission would be empowered &c
levy taxes could raise practically
the same amount of money an.
nually which could be set aside
for this development and the
whole project kept in the hand,
of the municipality.

hose from a flowing gas jet
tied into his mouth with hand
kerchief, the dead body OF Nathan
Swartz, the boy whose father con-
fessed that his son was the mur-
derer of 13-year-old Julia Con-

at once identified and taken TO

a letter, dated yesterday, In which
full confession of the murder
was made.
Julia Connors was found with
more than two score of knife
wounds in her body, but still
breathing and able to whimper,
"a man did it," before she died.
When it was learned that young
Swartz, a neighbor, had been con-

young girl and was then on pro-
baton, suspicion was at once d.
rected against him. He had dis
appeared, and his father declared
that the lad had confessed the
Connor child's murder and that
he had told his son to go out and
kill himself. He believed, he said,
that the boy had done so.
A letter to Swartz' mother,
found beside the body, read as
