This morning the aged veterans, members of the Women's Relief Corps, daughters of veterans, ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic and a number of local organizations marched in parade through the busi ness streets of Astoria. Formed in a column of fours, the 200 civil war vet erans marched to the rhythm of beat ing drums of the veteran drum corps, which claims to he the only remain ing drum corps in the United States composed entirely of veterans who were drummers or fifers in the civil war. The allied organizations followed the veterans, a great majority of the ladies dressed in white and carrying flags. The parade was considered one of the largest and best of any featured here in recent years. Fol lowing, a ceremony was held at the liberty temple, at which the Women's Relief Corps presented an American flag to the public schools, the ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic presented a framed portrait of Lincoln- to the high school and the Daugh ters of Veterans presented an Ameri can flag to the boy scouts. Itruulon Is Featured. One of the features in connection with the encampment here is the re union of veterans of the first regi ment of Oregon cavalry and the first regiment of Oregon infantry, which organizations were formed during the administration of Governor Gibbs. This reunion took place this after noon at the office of County School Superintendent Byland, commander of the first Oregon cavalry and infantry association. The adjutant of this organisation is C. H. Walker of Albany, said to be the oldest living white child born west of the Rocky mountains. Tomorrow afternoon a large num ber of the veterans will be taken on an excursion on the Columbia and tomorrow evening the annual camp fire of the Grand Army of the Republic and allied organizations will take place.

Benson Polytechnic school will not be utilized this summer by the gov ernment as an institution for the re habilitation of former service men. For some unknown reason plans drawn between the federal board for vocational training and the Portland school board have been vetoed at Washington, according to advices given Superintendent Grout yester day. It had been expected that vocational training would be given between 100 and 150 ex-service men at the Benson school this summer. Thirty-five such men have been in training there dur- ng recent months. This number was to be largely augmented for the sum mer period. Between 40 and 50 ad ditional veterans of the recent war were already aligned for courses here, Claude Hunt, agent of the fed eral board in this district, is quoted as reporting. Mr. Hunt yesterday received a mes sage from Washington stating that the contract tentatively drawn to give the government the use of the Benson school from June 14 to Au gust 2$ had been turned down. School officials feel certain that terms of the contract were satisfactory and that decision not to utilize the Port land school this summer must be due to some unforeseen conditions or de velopments. Mr. Hunt received no explanation of the action at Wash ington. Principal C. E. Cleveland of the Benson school was under tentative contract with the government to help direct the summer school work, and it is understood that four other Benson instructors were to be employed. Purchase of practically all of the Clatsop county holdings of the Ham mond Lumber company by the Crown- Ulaniettc Paper company was an nounced yesterday by It. L. Herren, timber superintendent of the paper company. Although the exact pur chase price was not made public, it is known to range between 1 1,500,000 end 12,000.000. The deal involves 17.500 acres of timber land in the Necanicum country with approxi mately 650,000,000 feet of standing timber. This timber cruises 88 per cent of spruce and hemlock. Negotiations for this transaction, which Is one of the largest transfers of timber holdings In the northwest in recent years, were conducted in Portland through Mr. Herren of the Crown-Willamette. Paper company and George B. Mcl.eod. manager of the Hammond Lumber company. Logging Kquipmrnt Included In Sale. Final papers were signed and the money transfer made yesterday at San Francisco, when Louis filoclc, vice-president and general manager of the Crown-Willamette Paper com pany, and A. B. Hammond, president of the Hammond Lumber company, reached an agreement. Mr. Herren was advised of the con summation of the deal by long-distance telephone from Mr. Block im mediately after papers were signed. 1 he transfer of the property becomes effective it once, and Mr. Herren leaves tonight for Clatsop county to take charge of the new property. In addition to the five-year supply of timb3r for the two mills of the Crown-Willamette company, the prop erty involved in the purchase includes lo miles Df standard gauge, railroad line which were built into the heart of the tract in JiUfc. The logging equipment includes four locomotives, 3"J sets of logging cars, IS donkey en gines and a complete machine shop. Twenty-Year Supply Aurel. Through the acquisition of this im mense timber acreage the Crown Willamette Paper company now owns enough spruce and hemlock timber in Clatsop county to supply the nor mal capacity of its paper mills at Camas, Wash., and Oregon City for 20 3'ears. The company has been procuring its tiyiber from its own holdings on the 'ioung's river district, where it now operates 12 miles of logging railroad and takes out 250,000 feet daily. Adjoining this Young's river tract is another large tract which has not yet been opened. These two holdings, together with that acquired through the purchase yesterday, give the company 60,000 acres of spruce and hemlock timber in Clatsop coun ty, which cruisers estimate contain 2,400.0D0,000 feet of timber. With its present equipment, the Crown - Willamette Paper eompany uses an average of 130,000,000 feet of timber a year in the operation of its two paper mills. However, extensive additions and enlargements are now being made at the Oregon City mill. and when this new equipment is ready for use, propably within the next 60 days, the output of that mill will be materially increased. bringing their compromise plar.k with them. As soon as they got here, they began asking Senator Borah and Sen ator Johnson to please come and give their formal consent to the compro mise plank which was being drawn up for actual presentation to the con vention. Senator Johnson appears to have been more disposed to be agree able than Senator Borah. Senator Poiah was truculent and stand-offish. This waa the situation when Murray Crane came to town. About the samo time that Murray Crane came, the president of . Columbia university, Nicholas Murray Butler, arrived.. Once here, they got together. (And what thev did deserves to be cr.roniciea uy eos:e contemporary nis torian, under the title of 'the fight of the two Mvirrays.'' Murray Butier fought in the newt! papers; Murray Crane fought In the conferences. Murray -Butler fought in printed words; Murray Crane fought in whispered words. Murray Butler said openly and most belligerently that the republican party must go on record in favor of the league of na tions, and said further that if any body in this town held a contrary view he, Butler, would like to take any or all of such on in a joint de bate on the convention floor. Murray Crane didn't issue any defiances to anybody, but he took the same simple and direct stand that the convention must neither commit what he con sidered the atrocity of opposing the league of nations nor go before the country with the weak straddle of a compromise. Crane's Work Kffeotlve. So it went until the committee on resolutions met. When that committee met, it was demonstrated quickly that Crane's work had been effective. A majority of the committee 'was in favor of a pro-league plank. They went on record to that effect with a DELEGATES ALMOST SMASH CONVENTION Scramble Provoked by Anti Johnson Men. BITTER PILLS DOLED OUT vigor which changed the whole situ- I ation and put the burden of begging " ? .h " for a compromise on the hitherto bel- T J ... ligerent shoulders of 'the bitter-enders. So the thing stands tonight. The committee is in session as this is written. Within an hour each side of the controversy has stated to your correspondent that they will not com promise. Bearing in mind that news paper writers who are either unwary or else weakly willing to fill such a role are frequently used as the ve hicles for political bluffing, your cor respondent is decidedly of the belief that the Crane pro-league party will not compromise. If any compromis ing is done, it will be done by the bitter-enders. AVe shall know by noon tomorrow. As this is written, it looks as if the committee will wrangle all night. When the resolutions are brought in tomorrow they will either be a compromise or else they will be pro-league resolutions which rub the faces of the bitter-enders in the mud. The bitter-enders say that if the latter is .the! result, then they will bring in a minority report and have a fight on the floor of the convention. If that comes, Senator Borah will un doubtedly be the champion of the bit ter-enders. For the pro-league forces Murray Butler will do the talking and Murray Crane will do the moving about among the delegates, i our cor respondent hopes the fight will come not only because it would be an agreeable thing to see and write about, but also because he believes that Murray Butler and Senator Borah have each the intellectual ability to give this convention an elevated dig nity in the world of issues and princi pies, which it hasn't yet had. Will Hays, on the other hand, earnestly wishes the fight won't come off. His responsibility is solely and quite prop erly that of head of the party; his chief concern is necessarily and prop erly harmony. All the harmonizers are trying to avoid a row. Ah! what relief.

June 9. Representative Haw ley left Washington tonight for Ore- you are open-minded, you will admire the way in which Mr. Murray Crane and those associated with him have brought candor and definlteness Into a situation which before they came was wholly in the world of compro mise camouflage and a kind of woozy harmony. To state it simply, many months ago that group of senators who opposed any and all forms of the league of na tions and who became known as the "bitter-enders' and "irreconcilables," filled the air with threats of leading a bolt from the party unless their po sition was indorsed by the platform. As their success increased, whenever they spoke before the public and in the votes in the senate as well, their threats became bolder and more de fiant. At one time they even took the position that the republican candidate for the presidency must be a bitter ender. Their first choice was John son, but they would compromise on Knox. . There was a period during March and April when they had everything their way, and when the rest of the republican leaders, in the interests of harmony, assented to writing a league of nations plank which would be entirely acceptable to the bitter enders. As it was cxrpessed at the time, the league of nations plank must be acceptable to the bitter enders. That was the first consider ation. But the bitter-enders would be kind enough and generous enough to put it in such a way as to save the faces of those senators who had been for the league of nations in one way or another. They would -not un duly humiliate Senator Lodge, for example. Com prom Ine Is Effected. When the time came for the actual drafting of a league of nations plank. Chairman Hays went to Washington and told the two groups of senators they must get together on this point. The official' compromiser of the republican party Senator Carter of Kansas was told to bring the two groups of senators into a room and keep tnem there until they agreed upon a plank. This he did. A plank was drafted which was acceptable to both groups. Senator Lodge, repre senting one group, and Senator Knox, representing the other, participated in the making of it. Then came the Indiana republican convention. On that occasion a slight ly altered version of this compromise plank was tri?d out on the publican and the newspapers.

Optimism (iron s Anions Low den Boosters, but Search Keveals No Additional Votes. BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE. ICopyright by the Bell Syndicate. Inc. Published by Arrangement.) CHICAGO. June 9. (Special.) It appeared ror a little while this aft ernoon as if the- convention were go ing to break up in a fight and there would not be any story. In trying to stop the Johnson boom the anti Johmson men got busier than they thought and stopped the whole show. Tonight they were unscrambling the snarl and making rather heavy work or Jt all loose talk about agree ing on a platform last night put ting it over before the dew was dukted from the street car tracks in Wabash' avenue and getting three or speeches out of the rators before sunset ceased when the convention .took precipitous adjournment around noon time. League and Labor Caune now. Gatherers of information seeking the reason for the adjournment learned that a row was going on. Inquiring where the row was. they found that it was localized in the platform committee. Asking what it was about, they found it was about the league of nations plank and the labor plank, both of which one fac tion was trying to straddle adroitly. Also they found that a number of well unholstered gentlemen from New York City representing various large business interests, were insist ing on a platform tliat wouldn't have anything red in it. As these gentle men were- not delegates, leaders or anything like that, you might not think anybody would pay any atten tion to them. If so, you're wrong. This holdup enables the Johnson crowd on one side and the anti-John sonson crowd on tne other to make medicine, and some of the medicine is going to have corrosive sublimate in- it. Whether the victims it is in tended for can be made to take it another matter. All sorts of eve-of-battle stuff is going , round. Senator Johnson di: posed of a rumor that he had con sented to run second on a ticket with Knox by the simple process of deny ins it. Lowden Booster! Optimistic. Another rumor that the Wood peo pie were to be given 400 complimen tary votes on the first ballot and then quietly sandbagged could not be con firmed. The Lowden people were more optimistic than ever today, but patient search failed to reveal any more votes for the governor among the delegates. The platform committee went into session as the convention adjourned and remained at work all night. It has rosy hopes of being able to reach a decision on important planks to morrow morning, but nobody has the same hopes about getting the dele gates to abide by this decision. Failure to adopt the platform to morrow will mean failure to nomi nate before Saturday. It may even mean postponing the rumpus till next Monday or Tuesday, but that event is remote, for with hotel rooms at $40 each, meals at $10. and liquor ob tainable only from bootleggers at $11 a pint, there are few delegates suf ficiently devoted to the party's best interests to stay in this town, when agreeing to anybody or anything would enable them to get back to the old home town.
