Secretary Houston Announces Bil
lion Dollars In Treasury Cer
' Uficalcs to Be Retired July 15.
Secretary
WASHINGTON. June 9.
Houston, writing today to the bankers
of the country, declared that the com
pleted operations o.f the treasury for
the fiscal year ending with this
month '-should show little, if any,
deficit, the government having bal
anced its budget, current receipts
against current disbursements, for
the first full fiscal year after the
fighting stopped.
Though the first quarter of the
present fiscal year showed a deficit
of about $770, 000,000,'" Mr. Houston
said, "in the second quarter there was
a surplus of over $150,000,000, in the
third quarter there was a surplus of
nearly $400,000,000, and the fourth
quarter should also show a surplus.
Itebt l.esa Than 25 Billions.
"The total gross debt of the United
States, which on June 30, 1913.
amounted to nearly $25,500,000,000 and
on August 31. 1919, amounted to near
ly $6,600.0(10,000 had been reduced on
May 31. 1920, to less than $25,000,-
000. 000."
"The floating debt outstanding
Ooan and tax certificates) which on
June 3. 1919. amounted to over
150.000,000 and on August 31, 1919, to
nearly $4.0Oi.0O0,000 had bren reduced
on May 31, 1920, to less than $2,850
000.000.
"The reduced ordinary and public
debt disbursements have made pos
slble a very important reduction in
the amount of the net balance in the
general funds, which has been applied
to the reduction of the debt."
lebt to Be Korther Hrdarrd.
Tho secretary declared that both
gross debt and floating debt would
be further greatly reduced by the
retirement of nearly $1,000,000,000 in
treasury certificates due about July Id
' Most of this will be paid out of
taxes falling due this month, but to
meet the balance and to provide for
current requirements of the govern
ment up to July 15, the treasury has
decided to offer about $400,000,000 in
new certifications, in two series, one
bearing interest at 6 per cent and
maturing June 15, 1921, and the other
bearing 5?i per cent interest and ma
turing January 3, 1921. Both series
will be dated June 15.
. Discussing the outlook for the
coming fiscal year, the secretary said
there would bo a further reduction of
both the gross and floating debts in
the first two quarters, and that un
less additional burdens should be im
posed by future legislation there
would be a steady important reduc
tion in the last two quarters.
V. S. Securities Steadily Liquidated.
"The period of upward of 12
months since the flotation of the vic
tory loan," Mr. Houston continued,
"has witnessed great expansion of
commercial credits, but steady liqui
dation of United States government
war credits. The federal reserve
banks' combined loans and discounts
secured by government war securi
ties have been reduced by more than
$400,000,000, though they have in
creased their loans and investments
by about $1,200,000,000. All reporting
member banks (about 800 believed to
control about 40 per cent of the com
mercial bank deposits of the country)
have reduced their holdings of and
loans upon United States government
war securities by about $2,000,000,000,
but have increased with other loans
and investments by about $4,000,000,-000."

Multnomah county commissioners
will journey out the Columbia river
highway this morning to investigate
eight suggestea automobile parking
places along the scenic drive. The
necessity for the establishing such
places at points of' interest along the
road before private individuals begin
to capitalize the attractive spots, was
brought to the attention of the com
missioners by W. A. Eatchel,' road
master, at a meeting yesterday.
"A vprv In rpc Investment has been
made by Multnomah county in the , Pay my transportation from one point
construction of the Columbia River
highway, one of the greatest scenio
highways In the world," pointed out
Mr. Eatchel, "and in order to preserve
the beauty and most attractive fea
tures it is advisable that a system of
parking places be established of easy
access from the highway before these
scenic points have been sold out to
individuals. If action is not taken
soon it may be too late.
Mr. Eatchel recommended that land
be acquired for the purpose at the
"S" turns between Crown Point and
Latourell fall; one-half mile west of
Shepherds Dell; Multnomah falls;
Oneonta falls; St. Peters Dome: Co
bia Gorge National park. Horse Tail
falls and Eagle Creek park.
The matter came to Mr. Eatchel's
attention following an investigation
of the request of O. K. Patterson to
have the commissioners widen the
highway in front of his store at Cor
bett. The roadmaster reported that
he did not see the advantage to the
general public In complying with that
request, but did see the advantage
of securing other parking places.

The Chamber of Commerce has de

through financing for the Crater lake
company on a basis agreeable to the
management. The importance of the
project was recognized when a com

which tourist travel could be cared
for there and at other mountain re
sorts. A special committee of busi
ness men was named to suggest a
feasible method of financing a large
development enterprise, but with the
approach of another tourist season the
necessity for prompt action dictated
adopting a plan that will get quick
results.
Business men are to be asked to
subscribe to an improvement fund of
the company, which will convey all of
its property to a trust company as :

Confession Believed by Dr. Steiner
to Be Attempt to Provide Free
dom . In Future.
SALEM, Or., June 8. (Special.) In
a signed confession reiterating state
ments made previously to fellow con
victs but the truth of which were
doubted by Dr. R. Lee Steiner, until
recently superintendent of the peni
tentiary. James Ogle, now serving a
life sentence in the institution for the
murder of J. N. Burgess and George
E. Perringer of Pendleton in Multno
mah county last November, today as-
umed all blame for the shooting or
the two men and exonerated David
mith and Walter Bannaster as far
the actual killing was concerned.
Smith and Bannaster also are under
fe sentence for the part they played
in the murders.
Local officials see in Ogle s confes
sion the cunning of the average con-
ict and believe that the statements
made by the murderer were inspired
with a view of exonerating Smith and
Bannaster and helping them to obtain
their release from prison at some date
In the near future.
Once liberated. Ogle would no doubt
expect them to reciprocate and assist
him to obtain his freedom, according
the officers.
Dr. Steiner, who has made a life-
ong study of men and women in dif
ferent walks of life, has always ex
pressed the belief that Ogle did not
fire the shots that killed Perringer
and Burgess, but that another of the
hree men was responsible for the ac
tual shooting. Warden Compton of
the penitentiary, however, believes in
Ogle's confession and is of the opin
ion that he made the confession to
relieve his conscience.
When Ogle today asked Warden
Compton if he could again be tried
for the murdier, the official believes
he wanted to make sure that he was
safe from the noose before making
any statement.
ROME, June 9. Premier Kitti and
his mindsters resigned today. The an
nouncement was made by the pre
mier at a turbulent sitting of the
chamber. Four hundred deputies were
in attendance and all the galleries
were crowded.
Half an hour previously the cabi
net had decided to resign when the
chamber opened. The resignation of
Signor Orlando as president of the
chamber was first announced. Then
Premier Nltti arose. He was sub
jected to much interruption, protests
and counter cheers as he announced
withdrawal of the decree relating to
the price of bread, and also resigna
tion. of the cabinet. He said the min
lsters would continue temporarily to
transact current business.
After Signor Modigliand. socialist
deputy, asserted that the annulment
of the decree was a triumph for the
official socialists, and other speak
ers had Indulged in recriminations
which led to tumults and fisticuffs,
the chamber adjourned indefinitely.
Premier Nitti's resignation appar
ently was the outcome of a resolution
introduced by the socialist parlia
mentary group yesterday to refuse to
bear the government statement on the
reopening of the chamber, on the
ground that the decree raising the
price of bread was a violation of the
parliament's prerogatives.
Every party In the house had. pro
tested the decree, which the govern
ment sanctioned to avoid a govern
ment loss of ' 80,000,000 lire through
the bread- subsidy.
Care and Responsibility
i 'H k. responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children
is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies
for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any
injurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been
for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher.
What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake? What are their
responsibilities? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter
their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow.
1 fiould each mother see the nainstakinff care with which the prescription for
v x
Fletcher's Castoria is prepared: could they read the innumerabla testimonials from
grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments
of those who would offer an imitation of, or substitute lor, the tried and true

A Word About Truth.
' Grrf&t is Truth, and mighty above aU things." So says the Old
" Testament, yet it is equally true to-day. Truth 6hows no favors,
fears no enemies.
' From the inception of Fletcher's Castoria, Truth has heen the
watchword, and to the conscientious adherence to this motto in the
preparation of Fletcher's Castoria as well as in its advertising is due
the secret of its popular demand.
All imitations, all substitutes, all just-as-good preparations lack
the element of Truth, lack the righteousness of being, lack all sem
blance even in the words of those who would deceive.
And youl Mothers, mothers with the fate of the "World in your
hands, can yon be deceived? Certainly not.
Fletcher's Castoria is prepared for Infants and Children. It is
distinctly a remedy for the little-ones. The BABY'S need for a med
icine to take the place of Castor Oil, Paregoric and Soothing Syrups
was the sole thought that led to its discovery. Never try to correct
BABY'S troubles with a medicine that you would use for yourself.

BEND, Or.. Juno 9. (Special.)
How five riders, representing them
selves to be from Bend, drove his
Japanese laborers in from the fields
at his Lower Bridge ranch, threatened
them with violence and even pilfered

friends in the neighborhood had sue
ceeded, with the utmost difficulty, in
persuading them to remain on the
ranch."
Mr. Burtt had no information which
would tend to disclose the identity
of the riders, but declared that he
was convinced, that the members of
tne party were not from this city.

north end of the county and the in

Terrebonne ranch, although plowed
and ready for a crop, is unseeded. He
left orders that two carloads of seed
raised in central Oregon, shipped to
California and reshipped to Terre

its way south. According to the nor
mal yield, the two carloads would
have produced approximately 60.000

with arrangements. A telegram from
J. N. Teal, now in Washington, yes
terday announced that the committee
will make the visit following the
close of the democratic national con
vention at San Francisco.
While details have not been com
pleted, it is hoped to have the mem
bers spend one day in Portland to
consider the local harbor, river and
channel situation, and possibly make
a trip to Astoria to inspect the naval
base site at Tongue point. A pro
gramme of entertainment may be ar
ranged. Arrangements probably will be
made to have the committee spend
one day inspecting the Umatilla rec
