cases were to have come to trial today

From tiime to time reports have been
eirculated that Dr. Winters was noi
sincere In his search for the missing

One of i the most baffllnr features

A thorough investigation was conduct

might hate been stolen by aTPsl..ut

hand thrf financial circumstances of
Dr. Winters seemed to prewuu.
Idea that the child may nave been kJd-
napped far the purpose of securing a

t lonr ago dismissed as unreasonable by
the detectlvea employed to investlAt

On the other hand, there appears to
' toe no adequate evidence Indicating a
motive for the murder of the little girl.
One theory advanced by th detectives
connects Mrs. Winters and Cooper, and
the other Is that the child might have

A READER.
The best authorities state that Esta
cada should be pronounced with a
brOad "a" throughout, it being a Span
ish word. According to Frederick V.
Holman, the attorney, the name was
taken from the Estacados Llanos, or
state plains, of Texas. Estacada was
named by the old Oregon Water Power
company, and was chosen alongr with
Catadero, - as two unique names, says
Mr., iioiman. There is also a legend,
said to b without foundation, that the
name is a hybrid from Esther Keady.

Railroad Men to Confer.
Movements of, transcontinental

rate decision are being discussed at
Chicago by traffic chiefs of the Union

Director B. L, Wtnchell. . The O.-W. R.

Agent H. E.. Lounsbtsry, who left a
day or so ago. It is understood that
the conference will take up also the
general railroad situation with refer
enoe to Panama canal competition and
an other phases of transportation.
The rejuvenation of Third street ha
hardly begun If plans discussed at a
meeting of the Third Streeters held
yesterday afternoon are put Into ef
fect. Not content to rest with a few
arches between Yamhill and Burnside
streets, the next step will be to con
tinue the Oreat Light Way to Glisan
street on the north and Main street
oh the south.
With the exception of a few details
everything is in readiness for th let
ting f th contract within a week
to construct tb rest of the arches.
Property owners and merchants along
the north end of Third street are de
termined that their end of the street
shall be put on a par with the portion
already Improved and are willing to
spend the money to do it.
The Third Streeters' organization
now has a membership of 185, includ
ing many merchants and property
owners on abutting streets.
Tab trader Xlvar ravored.
With th Gay Light Way having the
proposed public auditorium at, one end
and th railroad station on the other th
boosters are confident that they can
make their street the most important
commercial thoroughfare of Portland.
At yesterday1 meeting it was sug
gested that the bridges over the Wil
lamette will soon prove Inadequate to
provide for the movement of traffic
over the fiver due to the Increasing
popularity of the east aid as a resi
dential district, and that a tube under
tb river 1 th only logical solution
of -the problem.
With this idea In mind, therefore,
the Third Streeters have adopted a
slogan, "Get the west end of the tub
at the foot, of Third street" They
feel If successful in srocurln this
terminus all - Portland must perforce
come to the Great Light Way.
, As an evidence of, their; earnestness
in boosting the thoroughfare they
