' Apropos. It will not be cause for sur

the differences which have art sen be

over the enforcement of the 'oresr pol

bad feeling has been engendered be-

Although diplomatic considerations

statements disavowing that friction has

pressions by both parties to the contro

irrepressible conflict has arisen between
the two departments. What will be the
outcome, so far as this administration
is concerned, few eare to predict. It
is the general belief, however, that ul

On of the most beautiful floats In
the spectacle of the Spirit of the Golden
West on Thursday night, was that fur
nished by Pendleton, the capital of
Umatilla county. The float represented
In a unique way the source of the coun
ty's prosperity. Riding on the head of
the float .was a monster sheep, symbolic
of the wool Industry that has brought
the bounty so much of its prominence.
In the old days before the wheat field
and the fence drove the sheep Into the
mountain ranges and Into smaller and
smaller districts. Umatilla county grew
more sheep . and produced more wool
than any other section of the United
States of similar area. That day has
passed to a certain extent and the vast
reaches of the wheat, fields compete with
the sheep for supremacy. -But the one
is as much a gold-producePas the other
and Umatilla county has lost nothing
by the partial passage of its Immense
flocks.

Accompanying the float was a com
pany of real cowboys, such as are sel
dom seen now except in the far interior
parts oi the state, the entire representa
tion lormmg one oi the most impressive
parts of the parade. Miss Cleo Btanfield,
whose election cost her supporters some
$1400, so close was the contest for the
honor, was queen of the float. Heri
maids of honor were Miss Katie Stan-
field and Miss Margaret Dickson.

Met Botkln at BohoU.
I became acnualnted with Jna Ttntkin
February 23, li08,.at the home of Beth
seeiye, at Kcnoiis. After a short con
versa tlon with Mr. Botkln, I found that
he was a well educated man. I Invited
mm to my house to stay for a few day,
and he told me that his home was In

was a lithographer and compositor for
a revolutionist newspaper. He said
mat ne naa served in tne Russian army
and at Port Arthur; he. together with
soldiers and three officers deserted
tho armyand went on board an Ameri
can steamer, and landed at, Galveston,
He told pitiful stories about the Jew
ish massacres in Odessa a few year
before, among them one about how the
Russian cossacks raided "the school h
attended, killing the professor, but that
he with a few companions escaped
through a window. He also told of some
of the deeds of the revolutionists In
these riots.
Write Cipher Letter.
One day about the last of February
1908, he showed me a long letter he
had written. In the revolutionist's
shorthand (as he termed it) addressed
to his father. He said that even if
the Russian spies got possession of
this letter, though they might read It,
they would not be able to get the full
meaning of it a the .meaning was to
be read between the lines. He wished
to tell his father how well a person
could get along In this country, he said,
He was telling the story of a person;
he did not, wish to give his proper oc
cupation, so represented him as an old
oocior, wortn about 840,000 or $50,000.
He was very liberal and people came
to him and got money. . It is mv' opin
ion that he referred to Nathan Wolff.
Joe Botkln seemed to be obliging and
industrious, and very anxious to, start
out with a peddling wagon, saying that
he had some goods In Portland and a
friends who would pay for other goods
for him. He Induced me to -go Into
partnership -with him so on March 13,
1908," we went to Portland. I pur
chased a covered wagon and we to
gether purchased some dry goods.
Too Kany Price.
he knew a good deal about the case.
Partnership Is Dissolved.
"Ws dissolved partnership, and on
May 8. 1908, he went Into partnership
with a neighbor. Mr. Philip Shea, and
again started on-his peddling -trips
around Laurels, Scholls, and across thu
Chehalem mountain to Newberg; dur
ing this time he was very nervous and
grew thin and emaciated.
He crossed the Willamette river on
a ferry, going to Gervals, where he
left the team and wagon at a livery
barn as before stated; he went on to
California. From Red Bluff. Cal., he,
wrote a letter to his partner, Philip
Shea, dated July S, 1908; he left be
hind him some clothes, among them
his best suit and a little satchel con
taining papers and letters.
In looking over these papers and ler
ters I found he went bv two different
names In Texas and when I read the
name of Friedman, I remembered that
that name was mentioned 'In connection
with the Wolff murder case; this set me
to thinking, and on March 26, 1909, I
made a special trip to Portland and.
delivered to John A. Jeffrey, Martin'
attorney, the letters and papers before
menuonea.
I hope and trust that Mai tin's pardon
will be speedily granted and when lib
erated he will go out Into the world
without a blemish on his character, al
though the chain of circumstantial evi
dence surrounding Martin has- been
wen and shrewdly spun together.

Before starting out to peddle In thl
neighborhood, I told hlra he must have
one price on hla good.: and treat every
one alike, also keep the ' account so
that we could both understand them.
I soon found that he had different
prices for dlffeVent people, also that
his bookkeeping could oiily be under
stood by himself.
- For these and other reasons on or
about April SO, 1908,. I told him we had
better dissolve our partnership. He
said: "I don't care, I have a friend, a
rich Jew on First street, in Portland,
who is going to buy Rowell & Rat-
liffps store and I'm going to be the
' manager."
I On the morning of Mar 1, 1908, he
walked from our place to Reedville and
I took the train to Portland. May 6 my
wife and son went to Portland., They
met "Joe Botkln on the street; he looked
I worried and said he had been sick for
I two days. He said he would be out
to our-place In a' day or two and settle

HUlsboro that night. '
j Talis About Wolff Harder.
! May 7th, he came to our house and at
once started to talk about the Wolff
murder. I asked him if they had got
the man who murdered Wolff;' he said:
-"'They suspect a man by name of
Martin, but they suspect the wrong
man, and aU the Jews in Portland know
it. Martin is not the man. Wolff was
killed by the Russian revolutionists
because .18 Tears ago he sold M lives
to Siberia.
"He waa a member of a revolution
lets' club, and he exposed them, was
paid some jnoney by the Russian gov
ernment, and skipped to this country
The -revolutionists have been hunting
him ever since and they got him al
last.
"They didn't want his d - money
or diamonds, they wanted his life and
