cide after shooting Bolte. This shoot
ing, said Cloud, occurred at Bolte's
home, where Howard ended his life.
Previously. Wharton had been killed
In his apartment, where he was en
tertaining two guests.
Cloud said the sheriff's office was
convinced the shootings were moti
vated by financial differences involv
ing the three men. and that a violent
quarrel concerning money Wharton
and Bolte owed Howard preceded the
ahoottngs.
"Our investigation has established
that a man we know only as C. M.
McDermott was the third person in
the room at the time Wharton was
slain." Cloud said. "We believe he
was not Involved in the shootings,
but other officers now are looking
for him in the belief he can clear up
minor dealls pertaining to the trag
dy." leaped From Apartment
Cloud aald McDermott was the man
who leaped from Wharton's apart

erette said, "and consequently it is
the duty, and the opportunity, fnr
the business man to do so. A small
Investment at this time along the
lines of such development will reap
luiRe harvests in time to come. The
Rogue river valley is on the verge ot
a gigantic development very sicn
points that way. Those who take thf
opportunity now will benefit in the
next few years."
Among other enthusiastic about
the project are Charles Wing and
Charles Butterfleld.

while a large Investment In Itself, Is
merely a move In the huge develop
ment project underway by local busi
ness men of beautlflcatlon of valley
property along the Pacific highway.
with a view to enhance the value of
the property and to attract new set
tlers to thla community, Leverette
stated today.
The Investment In the Pepper-Taylor
tract by Leverette will be In ex
cess of 150.000. he stated, and will
Include not only development of the
orchard, which he claims to be one
of the best In Oregon, but a complete
renovation of all the orchard build
ings. Including two residences, a large .
barn, and the packing house com- j
monly known as the Voorhlea pack- ,
ing house near the Voorhtes crossing. I
All of the buildings will be painted j
a clear white, with green roofs. The ,
fences of the property will all be j
painted white, with green tips on
every post, and the orchard will be I
kept neatly cultivated and trimmed,
and the erection of a new house is
being contemplated.
The Pepper-Taylor tract of 160
acres adjoins the Home Crest orchard
already owned by Leverett, and glvea
him a solid holding of 300 acres along
the highway. Other orchardlsta and
valley buslnesa men are enthuslsstlc
about the development project, and
the movement will not be allowed to
die for lack of Interest.
Such orchards as the Charles Wing
holding on the Old Stage road, and
theWll Crest orchard Illustrate the
kind of beautlflcatlon that is Intend
