CONFESSION OF ROBERTS READ.
Morgan to Go on Stand To-day; NJ
Session Thursday.

After day spent in an effort by
the defense to have the confession
of Loren Roberts, one of the IL de-
PENDANTS, ruled out on account of in
sanity, the state won a point by Sc
curing the admission of this confess
sion as evidence. Wednesday after
noon. Judge Wilson. in admitting
the testimony. ruled that expert tes-
timony as to Roberts's sanity could
be introduced later by the defense.
The state, today, expects to put
Tom Morgan on the stand and, ac-
cording to Attorney Abel of the pros
ecution, his testimony will be even
more important than the confession
of Roberts.
Court was adjourned for the holi-
day Thursday.

INLAND WATERWAY TO
SUPPLANT LOCAL CANAL
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL
JOIN FORCES WITH GRAYS
HARBOR, WILLAPA HARBOR
AND COLUMBIA RIVER.

The Olympia Chamber of Com
merce has been notified by Col.
Woodruff of the U. S. Engineers that
an appeal may be taken from the ad-
verse report against recommending
the construction of the Olympia
Grays Harbor canal project which
was made few days ago. Just what
further action will be taken by the
Chamber, II any, has not been de-
cided.
The unfavorable report filed BY
Col. Woodruff did not come as q
complete surprise to the committee
in. charge Of the canal project, as it
became almost certainly unfavorable
when the engineer pinned arguments
upon the project to q question of ton
mage that would pass through the
canal II 1t we're in operation at the
present time. There were also differ
ent views as to whether a feeder
canal would be required to supply
water necessary for the project. In
fact the reasons for an adverse report
were practically all based upon the
Olympia-Grays Harbor canal as a
project all by itself. and took into
consideration nothing Of the general
plan OF inland waterways system sim
liar to those on the Atlantic coast.
For many years the plan OF se-
ries of canals connecting Olympia
with Grays Harbor, Grays Harbor
with Willapa Harbor, and willapa
Harbor With !. the Columbia river
above the bar has been discussed, and
Senator Jones introduced bill In the
Senate along the same lines. The
hearings had before the engineer in
this city some time ago we're to have
the recommendation for this larger
project placed in the rivers and har-
bors bill before congress.
The notification which the Cham
ber of Commerce received is not a
copy Of the report fled by Colonel
Woodruff with the board of engi-
neers for rivers and harbors. to which
the appeal could be taken. but is
merely statement of an adverse re-
port and sets forth the reasons there
for.
It is not known exactly what was
oflicially said in regard to the merits
OF the larger project, and until q
copy of his report has been received
no action will be taken.
This does not mean that the Olym-
pia Chamber of Commerce has given
up the fight for the canal, but that
in the future its efforts will be de-
voted to interesting both states of
Washington and Oregon in system
of inland waterways that will be the
equal OF Atlantic coast. systems and
an effort will be made to have con-
gress appropriate sum for the in
vestigation Of the larger project at
the earliest possible time.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT TO
PRIEST POINT PARK
CHAMBER COMMITTEES PLANS TO
COOPERATE WITH CITY COUN-

HIGHWAY.

One of the important topics dis

Priest Point Park road. This road
has been the subject Of much discus

the heavy travel over it by the tour
lists during the summer season. II
was the plan of the trustees that this
road shall be placed in first class con-
dition before the opening of the tour
list season. The committee appointed
by the trustees have worked with the

Have you any idea how much stable
manure-probabl the best fertilizer
in the worlds wasted in the United
States every year?
Figuring on the basis Of CONNER
cial fertilizer values, each horse or
mule produces each year $27 worth
Of manure; each head of cattle $50
worth; each hog IS worth, and each
sheep IS. Going back 10 years and
taking the figures OF the 1910 census.
this would figure out about $2,461.-
100000. Estimates by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
dicate that probably about fourth
of this is wasted.
Farmers are constantly confronted
with the problem of maintaining soil
fertility. At this time. following the
war period when an unusual strain
was placed on American farms, the
problem is more acute than usual and
the waste of manure assumes a more
serious aspect.
Much Could BE Saved.
OF course all the manure can not
be saved. Some of it, at the best.
must be lost. But millions of dollars
worth of it could be saved with prac-
tically no added expense and with
comparatively little outlay of time
and effort.
The cheapest and best way to han
die manure, where convenient, is to
haul it to the field and spread it daily,
or at least every two or three days.

be hauled conveniently to the hei0
and spread. 3sa
Another good way to save mannrc,
especially in the case Of hogs or Of
beef cattle. is to have . concrete
paved feed lot. preferably under shed
roof. Where the farmer can not
afford a paved floor, cheap open
feeding shed may be made to serve
the purpose very we'll. II abundant
bedding is used to absorb the valn-
able liquid manure. In such q feed
ing lot or shed the manure Is allowed
to gather under the feet OF the ani-
mails, each days bedding being
strewn over the well-tramped accu-
mutation below. Some farmers using
this system arrange their feed racks
so that they can be raised from time
to time. making it possible to feed till
several feet of solidly packed manure
has accumulated under the shed. It
has been shown that manure suffers
little from heating and teaching when
handled in this way.
Advantage OF Feeding Shed.
The feeding shed serves the pur-
pose of giving the general farm. or
the beef cattle farm, something of
the advantage in the matter of ma
nure saving held by the intensive
dairy farm. 1t has been shown by
farm management surveys that this
manure saved on the American farm
under present conditions is almost
exactly proportional to the number
Of animals fed under cover on the
farm, and that the manure of ami
mails not stabbed has very little effect
on yields, except in cases where field
crops are "hogged-off" or otherwise
pastured down or where pasture is
used in rotation.
There is bulletin of the United
States Department of Agriculture
Farmers Bulletin 978-devoted to
the handling of barnyard manure. 1t
will be sent free to applicants.

hog market was another riddle for
outsiders, and while the values went
to the highest point Of the year for
the stuff on the ,hoof, a person looking
at the tape report from the provision
pit would find little to make him think
the market bullish. AS a matter of
fact. comparatively little pork sales
were reported. and without knowledge
from other sources of disposal the
trade at the yards seemed to have all
reasons for declining values. Now
comes the report from big packers.

export buying again was an interest

buying on continental account con-

over at steady values The market
closed 25a50c higher for the week.
Cows showed little change. Veal
calves held steady during the period,

Few sheep and lambs were on sale
today. Some natives went over at

LARGE NATIONAL BANKS
SEEK HOME EXPANSION
From Daily Financial America.

From Daily Financial America
restrictions imposed on banking
enterprise seem to be based on the
theory that no competition is wanted
between national and state institu-
tions. Congress. in the national bank
laws. has long prevented the nation
al banks from establishing branches
in the United States. The federal
reserve act, however, permitted our
bankers to enter far off lands in COM
petition with the great financial or
CARNATIONS that support Europe's
foreign trade.
These foreign branches have proven
a strong factor in extending Ameri-
can commerce.. Our branch banks
have worked persistently in obtain
ing credits for our exports that will
enable our products to be sold on
terms equal to those offered by our
rivals.
Considering their success abroad, it
is not surprising to find some of the
large national banks reaching out for
a wider field of activity at home.
Even within the limits Of this city
they have found that the convenience
or depositors and borrowers can be
served by establishing branches.
Uptown" is growing miles and miles
farther away from the financial
has homes many miles away IN New
Jersey, Westminster, Long Island and
other suburbs A large amount of
business has been transacted for
years by state banks with many
suburban branches.
Desire to Expand.
It Is quite natural that national
banks should seek this same con-
venience for their depositors and an
opportunity to expand their business.
This is denied to them under their
charter. Several. however, have found
means to satisfy this need by pur-
chasing control of existing state
banks. Thus they take on a dual
situations.
The disadvantage in this plan is
that it is available only for the
stronger banks. Its tendency is to
eliminate weaker competitors who
cannot acquire the double function
of national and state institutions
The combination of charters offers
advantages possessed by neither ma
tiona1 nor state banks.
This Is the new two-headed rival
to both the older banking systems
Congress has created it in the effort
to stifle competition. 1t seems posi-
BILE that it may replace both of it's
predecessors in many cities and
towns. If that situation is to be
avoided it will be necessary to ex-
tend to all national banks the branch
privilege enjoyed by state banks. The
other alternative is to bring all state
banks under the national system.

the responsive attitude of investors, but

half year, to speculative operations,
based upon the more menacing aspects
Of the foreign labor situation.
The irregular advance of stock

Bullish Activity Abandoned.
Pools abandoned their recent bullish
activity in the low-priced or reor-
ganized rails, directing their energies
more particularly toward seasoned
transportations, oils and shippings.
Coppers benefited moderately by the
retention of existing dividends, but
steels and equipments drifted aim
