TRCST CONTROLLED BANKS Five Men Control lVnosita Aggre gating $100,000,000. Washington. I). C-The first tcsti mony as to concentration of money and credit" was heard Wednesday by the house banking ami currency com mittee in iU investigation of the called money trust. W. B. Frew, president of the Corn Exchange bank, of New York, and chairman of the New York Clearing house committee, occupied the stand throughout the day and tu put through a grilling examination by Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the committee.

The Bankers' Trust, Mr. Frew said, was corttrolledby II. P. Davison, George 15. Case and Daniel G. Ried, the Guaranty company by II. P. Davidson, George F. Zakor and William P. Porter. These men hold and vote the stock of the comttames, except enough to allow a board of directors to qualify. and under the trust agreements have authority over the affairs of the com panies. even to the acquistion of other institutions. Mr. I'ntermver secured from Mr, Frew a description of the methods by which money is attracted to New York when small country merchants and farmers demand funds for the move ment of crops or the accommodation of their business affairs. Mr. Frew said that the money was needed on the New York Exchange for speculative purposes; that country banks kept large sums on deposit in New York ; that thus fthe "home" demand for money became strong, the New York price for money rose and the New York banks, in order to gain the big interest charges, put their money out on call loans on the New York Stock Exchange. All these loans are based on Mock Exchange collateral, .Mr. L'ntermyer elicited. TOLLS BELIEVED TOO HIGH John Barrett Sees Great Future From Panama Business. Atlanta. Ga. John Barrett, direc tor of the Pan-American Bureau, ad dressing the Southern commercial conference here expressed the opinion that President Taft had made a mistake in fixing canal tolls at the high rate of $1.20 a ton. Mr. Barrett declared the United States would gain far more than it would lose by exacting the minimum toll of "5 cents a ton, which would permit small shipowners to compete with large companies by use of the canal. What the opening of the transcon tinental railroad meant to the Pacific Coast states, the opening of the Pan ama canal will mean to the fertile Pa cific Coast states of South and Central America, said Mr. Barrett. It is time now for the United States to get ready for the opening of the canal, he declared, and to awaken to the wonderful trade possi bilities of the near future."

Pigeons, Bel gian Hares, Etc., Make Most Interesting Variety. Class! That is the word. The Fourth Annual Poultry show of the Oregon Poultry and Pet Stock associa tion, held in Portland, December 9-14, was the best Jet. It was the most in teresting and most successful ever held in the state. The entries were very large. A Unit 1500 birds were shown, and nearly 2.) individual exhibitors had birds for scoring and prizes. Beisdes chickens. which were shown in 33 classes, there were some fancy stock, Guinea pigs, pigeons, Belgian hares, etc. The ap pliances exhibits were also exceptional ly good and a study of them was well worth while to poultrj'fnen and those interested in the business. Modem coops, up to date feeding apparatus and all sorts of foods and remedies were shown. The Plymouth Rocks were most nu merous of any single class. In the Rock section there was a really remark able collection of cockerels the larg est and best ever gathered in the west, and the birds were particularly fine. Entries were made from every part of Oregon and Washington was well represented. Birds from Idaho were also present, anil California, too, had representatives. Following the Rocks, the Wyandotte were per haps next in number. Then crone the Leghorns, and then the Rlnle Island Reds and Orpingtons. The showing of games was not as heavy as in some past years, but the represen tatives of both pit games and the big Cornish birds was fair. There was not a large representation of Minorca either, but excellent birds, both black and white were on exhibition. Among the Mediterranean group the Anconas and Andaluians were noted. A g'x! showing of Hamburgs, too, was noted. For the first time in a Portland show the Sicillian Buttercups have been entered. This is a new breed. The combs are cuped, and supjiosi-d to re semble the flower for which the . birds are named. . These birds are Mediter raneans, and appear to be larger than most of this group. They are of gold en plumage with a peculiar dark mot tling,. Their owners claim a heavier bird, a betu-r meat and quicker growth than any other fowl in the group, and a very large egg production. They are attracting no little attention among the lovers of new breeds, and they are handsome in bearing and plumage. H. H. Collier, of Tacoma. has the scoring of the American breeds, in cluding the Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, etc. Judge MiHer Purvis, of Windle, Ha ho, scores the Mediterranean birds. Many fine birds were entered in the show a year ago, and it is a matter of doubt if this year shows any finer birds from an individual standpoint; but, on the other hand, the entries were Itain and Snow Aid Wheat. Davenport, Wash. Novemlwr, as observe by the station at Davenport, had a mean temperature of 3C.9 de grees, which is five and a half degrees warmer than the mean for the same month in 1911. Rain or light snow fall on 13 days of the month netted 2.42 inches of water, every particle of j which went into the ground ami aided greatly in bolstering the winter wheat already sprouted. In November of 1911 the rainfall was 1.8 inches, brought on by the heavy snows of that month. ' Farmer Want New Line. Colfax, Wash. Representatives from the Northern Pacific, Oregon Washington Railroad & Navigation company, and Inland Empire Elirctric line, met with the Colfax Commercial club and farmers of Western Whitman county. The farmers are asking that a road be built through a district West of Colfax through a rich farming re gion, where farmers are now hauling their grain 10 miles to the nearest market. The proposed railway would extend 40 mile down Akli flat and Union flat. . ' - ' '.' V. & j, i I , mfe-vr P ! 7 7 " a vn I'FT STOCK SHOW IN Kit Wm I.-Kir.1 Pril.
