To show the real estate men of the
county that Pendleton's heart 1h with
them, a banquet will be given in hon
or of those men while they are here
for their conference Thursday night,
It will be given at the Hotel Pendle
ton at the conclusion of the meeting
and will make a fitting close to the
evening's work.
At the Commercial association'
meeting held last evening the subject
of giving a banquet to the visiting
real estate men was taken up and
within a few minutes enough support
had been promised to make the affair
a success. M,any of those present Inst
night offered to pay for five plates at
a dollar banquet and a committee con
slstlng of M. 8. Kern, VV. L. Thompson
and T. T. Geer was named to have
charge of the banquet arrangements.
Mould Win Went Em!.
Early In the meeting last evening D
B. 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.
Demonstration Train.
The proposition of attending the
demonstration train program, to be
given here May IS, was also brought
up and It wns urged that as many
formers as possible bo urged to attend
the meeting. The committee already
named to have charge of the demon
stration meeting here was enlarged
by the addition of the names of Dr.
Kern, O. W. Rrdley, M. A. Rader,
D. R. Costuma and R. H. Wilcox. The
former committee was composed of

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.

La Porte, Ind., May 6. Nine more
bodies were found on the farm of Mrs,
Bell Gunness today. This makes 13 in
all. More are expected.
Mattresses had been placed over the
bodies and dirt shoveled over them. A
rib and several other human bones
v.-ere found near by.
As hours go by the Gunness farm
horror increases and police believe
that they have uneartheti the greatest
series of crimes since the days of H,
H. Holmes,
Detectives believe the Gunness
farm was a clearing house for a band
of murderers and that Mrs. Gunness
shared the spoils for her disposal of
the bodies.
It Is known that three men appear
ed at the Gunness place within the
last year to answer matrimonial ad
vertlsements and that all three men
disappeared within a few days. Mrs,
Gunness mated at that time that she
had sent the men away as unsatisfac
tory. Detectives are now looking for
their bodies.
It Is thought it was the woman s
aim to use the matrimonial ad as a
lare to get men on the farm so as to
murder and rob them.

followed the big procession of auto

management was compelled to stop
selling grandstand tickets a half hour
before the game opened and the over
flow crowd surrounded the outfield

necessary. "Sliver" Heneley pitched
for the Seals and was invincible in
pinches. Only In the seventh did Port

FIRE AND THIEVES
IN SAN FRANCISCO.
I
San Francisco, May 6. A
$100,000 fire broke ou In the
Mission district today and for a
time threatened the entire sec
tion. The prompt arrival of the de
partment and the lack of a
breeze saved many stores near
by.
Several families had many
narrow escapes from death from
the flames.
I Thieves took advantage of the
excitement and robbed a dozen
or more places in the block.
While this fire was burning
another broke out three blocks
away and destroyed a hardware
store and restaurant, causing a
loss of 150.000.
STATE GIVES CLEAR TITLE.
Agreement Reached With
Deschutes
Land Company.
Salem, Ore., " Sr'vj-The

ave reached

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.
