Costuma, representative of the Co lumbia Land company, was called up on and spoke very pointedly on the attitude of some Pendleton people to- ' wards the Irrigation projects of the west end. He declared that knocking was being done where there was no need nor excuse for the same and said that It was Interfering with the work of colonizing the arid lands. In answer to Mr. Costuma speeches were made by President Alexander. T, C. Taylor and others present. In a very earnest talk Mr. Alexander de clared that the responsible people of the city were not disposed against any of the west end projects but on the other hand wished to do everything possible to develop that section. IMrtiardMm Larked Tart. T. C. Taylor likewise made a very Interesting talk along the same line, declaring that the greater the growth In the west end the better for this city also. In the course of his remarks Mr. Taylor said he believed hat the people of the city would subscribe to a publicity bureau fund when shown how and for what purpose the money would be used. He also took occa sion to criticise Tom Richardson's at titude at the meeting held at the court "house. Others who spoke on the subject were Leon Cohen, W. L. Thompson, Tr. M. S. Kern, R. H. Wilcox and ethers. According to Mr. Wilcox, the solic iting committee for the publicity bu reau Is hampered through the fact that irt present they cannot say ex octly "how the money Is to be used. Accordingly ho suggested that at the meeting to be hold Thursday n com mittee of five ho chosen to serve with the association's regular publicity committee and thnt the two commit tees constitute a hoard to have charge of the publicity fund.

CORPSES MADE INTO GOLDEN STAT lES X-Kay Expert Perfect ProcctM to Mctullxo Human Bodies. Chicago, May 6. The Inter Ocean today says: Wolfram C. Fuchs, an X-ray expert of Chicago, who died a ye"ar ago with X-ray cancer, a martyr to the science, discovered a marvelous secret by which he was able to work certain chemical changes In living organisms that transform them Into metal. For two years before his death he con ducted a series of experiments which reached their climax In the metallza lon of a dog. R. C. Fuchs, his brother, took up the work where he left off and brought the secret process to practical per fection. Mr. Fuchs Is planning to metallze human body which he proposed to put on exhibition In a downtown shop window The body will be that of a pauper. By direct process of met- aimmon u win be changed Into a statue, which to all external appear ances will be of solid gold. The cost of this strange conversion of a hu man corpse Into metal, according to the Inventor's estimate, will be $500.

W Br3 Fill TO E brethren. There Is every evidence now throughout the county that the repub licans are going to stand solidly for H. M. Cake and no amount of demo cratic persuasion will lead any mem' bers of the party astray. It had been planned to have a large number of leading republicans ac company the governor's party to the east end of the county, just a matter of "courtesy" of course, but all the alluring invitations have been de clined so far and the republicans will reserve their trip until their candi date, H. M. Cake, visits Umatilla county in the near future. Iff HUSBAND GUILTY Man Accused of Murder of Nathan Wolf Has Not Yet Made Confession.

Agreement Reached With Deschutes Land Company. Salem, Ore., " Sr'vj-The state land board and lutes Irrlga- tlon & power comj, ave reached g release of d the com i the hold the releas- an understanding reg Q Hen on reclaimed lar pany has arranged tc ers of the mortgages g es. This arrangemen s " ables the state to execute deeds -g ttlers with title clear of any appa 5 iloud, and the Issuance of deeds O begin at once. ' The company contended that under the terms of the mortgages, these In struments would not constitute a cloud upon the title of any land the state might deed, but Governor Cham berlain refused to sign any deeds un til arrangements had been made with holders of the mortgages. He held that even if the mortgages are not a cloud upon the title, it might take Iitt gatlon to establish that fact. The new arrangement Is gratifying not only to the state land board, but to settlers as well, for they can now get deeds as fast as they submit fi nal proof, and they can feel satisfied that their titles are good. It, is evident that the state land board proposes to insist upon observ ance of Its rule of reaulrlna- six months' residence, for three aonllea. tlons for deeds have been turned down because the residence rule hart not been complied with. This does not mean, however, that the purchas ers will lose their land. If they be come actual settlers, as the rule re quires, they may get their deeds.
