BONDS IN DEMAND

NEW YORK. April 1.-The strength
of bond prices was we'll sustained in

Among the members of this group

an advance of over a point.

Greater New York traction bonds

this morning that the line had passed

g NEW YORK. April 1.-One of the
iArst things which impresses itself, in
looking over the past week, Is the
'eomparative indifference of the mar

disarmament and other peace treaties
at washington was completely swept
away when it came to the vote.

looked for. but as 1t happened sterling
and continental rates alike moved
scarcely at all.
Political Events Minor Factors.
.. This experience is in line with others

months, and which have plainly in
dictated that even events OF the first
consequence in the political world are
minor factors in the present move

Their attention is centered upon tw o
fundamental features. one the world

becoming more and more evident in

usual sequel to a. prolonged liquida-

Investment Movement Sustained.
=, These are the processes which dur

affected as our own.
More recently not only English, but
Dutch investors have been buying
back American securities which were
sold in the wartime, and they have
been doing this because the rise in
their home investments has been suf-
ficient to impel them to seek oppor-

nifty has been doing the same thing.
To the end 1t showed its preference
for home securities.
The foreign government group
that is, the external loans of Euro

move. but they were finally taken up
when home investments Of the better
sort were seen to be getting out of
range, and of the advance of seven,
ten and fifteen points in those foreign
issues the greater part has occurred
very recently.

WON FREAKiSH
GAME SUNDAY
SCORE STOOD 9 TO I'm SEC
OND INNING AGAINST
HOME TEAM.

Cottonwood won its second
ball game Of the season Sunday
in what might be termed freak
ish ball game, from the Kooskia
Indians, by a score of Ii to ID,
before the largest crowd of base
ball fans that has gathered in
Cottonwood in many years. At
least 500 people saw the game
and while the score was large On
both sides it by no means was d
game that was lacking for ex-
citement.
The Kooskia Indians started
the game with heavy hitting and
Eefore the first six men had been
called out the score stood 8 to
in favor of the river boys. Har-
rison the kooskia pitcher held
the boys at his mercy until the
sixth inning when the Cottor-
wood boys hit the Indian pitcher
for 8 runs. 18 batters faced the
kooskia twirler in this inning.
The snappiest play of the
game and the one which amused
the crowd mostly was the double
play executed by Captain Scho-
ber and Frank Albors in the lat
ter part of the game.
One feature of the game which
pleased everyone was the strict
obedience to ground rules and
the umpires decisions were fair
at all times and wranglinq which
often disgusts the spectators was
to be heard nowhere.
A return game will be played
with kooskia on their home
grounds Sunday.
The following box score, pre-
pared for us through the courte-
sy Of Lloyd Fem. of Kooskia,
gives a more detailed account OF
the game.

TAKES CHARGE OF STORE.

Invoicing of the Orofino Trad
ing company stock was complet-
ed last week and with it the new
owner, II. c. Netzel, of Cotton
wood and Craigmont, opened up
for business under the name OF
the Cash Store. His advertise
ment appears in this issue. The
Orofino Trading company was
incorporated i'll 1904 and the
business has been conducted un-
der that name by Anderson and
IIolmberg, and later by w. M,
Watson, for the past eighteen
years. In March the business
was assigned to the Spokane
Merchants association and has
been managed by Mr.. p. H.
Boesche, up until last week when
it was purchased by Mr.. Netzel.
Mr.. Boesche closed up his af-
fairs and left for Spokane. He
advises that he has been closely
connected with business affairs
in a good many towns of this
part of the state and that Oro-
tino is the best one except Lew
iston.
Mr.. NetZel has been in the
mercantile game for twenty
years and has made a success
wherever he has been located.
He is well pleased with the eli
mate here and will probably
move his family later on and live
in Orofino. AT present he ex-
poets to put in a large part of
his time here, but will have to
divide it with points on the
prairie.
The new name of the estab-
lishment suggests its policy.
No credit business will be done.
Under this policy Mr.. Netzel
states he will make it worth
while to walk across the bridge.
A general line of groceries, ladies
and gents furnishings will be
carried as in the past.-Clear-

WATERMANJURY
VERDICT GUILTY
CASHIER FACES
SAME CHARGE AS CON
VICTED PRESIDENT.

Nezperce, May 17.-George II.
Waterman, former president OF
the State Bank of kamiah,
which closed its doors on April 5.
1921, was found guilty at 10:45
tonight of falsifying bank re-
ports.
The verdict, as provided by
law, was unanimous and was
handed to the clerk of the court
by C. J. McCollister, foreman OF
the jury. Judge Scales immcd-
lately ordered Mr.. Waterman
remanded to the custody OF
Sheriff Smith, and tomorrow
morning application will he made
for his release on bond, pending
appeal. The continuing bond
was not applicable with the de-
fendant heing found guilty.
When the verdict was return
ed Banking Commissioner J. G..
Fralick and others of the state
banking department were in the
court room.
The trial of George H. Water
man started on May 4. It was
hard fought by both sides from
the very start. Exhibits to the
number of 5S6 were introduced
in evidence, as were three exam
iners' reports and II called re-
ports, as well as hundreds of
letters of the bank and the state
banking commission, the letters
tending to show that the state
banking department were aware
of the condition of loans and
paper made and held by the
bank.
This morning Waterman was
on the stand for slightly over an
hour in both direct and cross eX-
animation. He was the only
witness for the defense. Both
sides rested at 10:45.
Following an intermission,
Prosecuting Attorney G. C. Pen
nell made the opening plea for
the state, talking for about an
hour and a quarter. c. II. Potts,
of Occur d'Alene. made the first
plea for the defense, and was
followed by Miles S. Johnson or
Lewiston. S. 0. Tamahill, Of
Lewiston, associate council for
prosecution, made the closing
argument for the state.
Judge Wallace n. Scales in
structed the jury that, as the act
of which Waterman was accused
was a felony, a unanimous ver-
dict was required. The jury re-
tired to consider the case at $40
O'Clock this evening.
Tomorrow morning will begin
the trial of Leslie Roth, Of
Charleston, assistant cashier Of
the kamiah bank, who faces the
same charge of which Waterman
has been found guilty. Roth,
with his attorney, Fred f. But
Ter. Lewiston. arrived in Nez-
perce this evening. A special
venire of 40 men has been called
! for the Roth action.
