"Boost, don't knock, and let all
unite In a movement for the develop
ment and settlement of the entire
county."
This wag the slogan at the real es
tate men's meeting last night and at
the banquet which followed the
same. It was a sentiment that was
voiced by every man present and
those in attendance comprised the
men who are the leaders In the de
velopment of the county and the rep
resentative business and professional
men of the city,
With more enthusiasm tind interest
than the most sanguine had expect
ed the real estate men of the county
held their meeting last night, formed
an organization, told what they
thought of things themselves and lis
tened to what others .had to say. As
.a result there it) now a better under
standing and a more cordial feeling
tinting between those who are devel
oping the west on A and between the
citizens of Pendleton. Incidentally
the meeting practlcully assures the
formation of a strong publicity bureau
for the movement Is now under such
headway that success seems certain.
The Organization,
About 8:30 last night practically all
the realty men of the county, with
the west end especially well repre-
wrrted, had gathered In the rooms of
the Commercial association and at th
invitation of the realty men 60 or 60
prominent local business and profes
slonnj men were present.
D. 13. Costuma, representative of
the Columbia Land company, called
the mooting to order and after a lew
words of explanation Introduced C. B.
Adams as the temporary chairman of
the meotlng. After Mr. Adams had
taken the chair Mr. Costuma read a
constitution -that had been drafted
for the government of the associa
tion. It was adopted with the agree
ment that the realty men desiring to
enter the association sign their names
to the same.
The following is the list of charter
members who Joined last night and It
includes all rralty men who were
present:
C. B. Adams, S. It. Oldaker. D. B.

SHERIFF THINKS "11111"
BARNES IS MURDERER,
Walla Walla, May 8r The

ficient evidence to convict

Mia. Aldrlch, whose body was
found In the forest seven miles
from Dixie, Wash., Thursday.
Barnes has not yet been told
the body of the woman has been
found and he still persists in the

subjects that were uppermost in their
minds.
Dr. H. W. Coe, of the Coe-Furnlsh
project, was first called upon and he
told of the good that had resulted to
Portland from tho formation of an
aggressive realty league In that city
and predicted fine results from the
meeting here. He declared, as did
others, that the real opportunities of
the west end were not understood by
the people of the city and Joined in
condemning those who through lg
norance or others causes are
"knockers."
A 1a the Knocker.
Col. J. F. McXaught, who was next
called upon, verified the idea that the
west end men have had a feeling that
their enterprises were being talked of
adversely by some people In this city.
In plain words Mr. McNaught declar
ed that ecver since the commencing of
work in the Hermiston section ham
mers had been banking In this city for
some strange reason which he had
been unable to fathom. However, he
felt encouraged over the organization
of the realty association, and the
boosting spirit now, predominating THEORY THAT WOMAN STILL

Portland, Ore., May 8. Edward Hugh Martin, accused of the
murder of Nathan Wolff, may be released. The tide has turned
and the situation pf the drug victim appears In a more favorable
light.
The police today announce that they have completed their in
vestigation against Martin and that the evidence will be turned over
to District Attorney Manning today. The preliminary hearing will
probably take place next week.
Much of the evidence the police hoped to present against Martin
was not found available. His wife will not testify against him.
Even the finding of the bloody shirt which was heavily counted up
on as direct evidence against Martin Is now discounted by the fact
that the peddler who sold Martin the three shirts states that he
had four In his possession, all the same and that he sold the fourth
to an unknown man. The manufacturer of these shirts states that
there are probably 10,000 of this same pattern In the vicinity of
Portland.
The revolver borrowed by Martin the day of the murder was
found to bo a 38, whllo the bullet In Wolff's showcase is said by the
police to be from a 32.
The collar found In the store Is a No. 16, while Martin wore a
