THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, MAY 6, 1917. t A I t. i TREASURY IS BURIED UNDER BOND OFFERS Indications Are Liberty Loan Will Be Oversubscribed Nearly 200 Per Cent. ALL STATES REPRESENTED Distant Parts of Worlf Under Amer ican Flag Send Word or Cash Available for Financing War Against Germany. tVASHINGTOX, May 5. The Treasury was burled beneath an avalanche of subscriptions to the liberty loan today. Testerday's pace of $20,000,000 an hour was quickened to almost $500,000 a min ute, and it became apparent that the $2,000,000,000 offering would be over subscribed beyond all previous esti mates. Compilation of subscriptions received today was beyond a physical possi bility with the present working staff. Probably one-fourth of the offering already has been spoken for. Officials listed subscriptions received up to 2 r. M. and found that during the six hours of working time since the last compilation the country had subscribed to $172,983,000 additional, bringing the grand total for the two days up to $311,657,000, exclusive of thousands of replies yet to be listed. American OufpoHts Subscribe. Subscriptions ' listed yesterday and today represent the offerings of less than 6 per cent of the. total number of financial institutions before which Secretary McAdoo placed the offering 48 hours ago. Should the present ratio be maintained, the banks and their cub tomers will have subscribed to approxi mately $6,500,000,000 worth of the bonds, an over-subscription of more than 200 per cent. As many of the larger financial In stitutions have telegraphed their sub hrriptions, however, officials are In dined to believe that the present ratio hardly will be maintained. Replies to the offering received to clay came from virtually every part of the world where the American flag Is flown. Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines proved that they are not financial slackers by cabling substan tial subscriptions. Fairbanks, Alaska, the northernmost city in the Western World, telegraphed a $50,000 subscrip tlon, and added that the loan would be advertised In all the newspapers there. Kvery State Represented. From every state in the Union the reply was overwhelming. New York, the country's financial stronghold, sent subscriptions totaling $53,000,000. bringing its two-day total up to $116,890,000. Three subscriptions of $1,000,000 each were received from San Francisco, making the day's total $5,650,000. . Subscriptions have been tabulated from approximately 1500 of the 27,500 banks of the country. So great was the labor involved in tabulating the subscriptions geographically that of fioials decided to discontinue doing so for the present. Grouped by states, the two-day total . of subscriptions includes: Alaska, $50,000; Arizona, $200,000; California, $7,052,000; Colorado, $1,832, 000; Idaho, $192,000; Illinois $26,292,000; Iowa $2,372,000; Kansas, $2,481,000 Minnesota, $1,228,000; Montana, $611,000 Nebraska. $1,274,000; Nevada, $25,000; New Mexico, $198,000; North Dakota, $198,000; Oklahoma, $827,000; Oregon $899,000; South Dakota. $300,000; Texas, $3,5ZB,ooo; utan, $50,000; Washington $2,318,000; Wyoming, $242,000.

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS Exercises Appropriate to Occasion Arc Held and Acquaintanceship Renewed Among I'althful Pilgrims to Shrine. BY DEAN COLLINS. 'It was no pacifist crowd that gath ered here to settle the question of Ore gon's future." As J. U. Smith, son of Sidney Smith, who was one of the 62 immortals of the provisional government meeting at Champoeg, May 2, 1843, spoke these words and launched into his story, learned from the lips of his father, of how the historic meeting had taken place, the shades of the past rolled dp with a snap, and the crowd assembled under the oak trees there yesterday af ternoon, got a vivid visualization of the event. Sixty-four years ago a stormy session held over that same field, until decision crystalized In the group which fol lowed Joe Meek across the line he drew with his heel and a majority of 52 to 50 determined for Oregon's provisional government under the American flag. And yesterday the gray-haired children and the grandchildren and the pioneers of a later date and the school children of the present generation gathered from Portland and Oregon City and Salem and a dozen other cities, lived the story over in fancy under the Inspiration of the speakers words. Example of Arbitration Cited. "Governor Withycombe has commend ed the meeting as an example to the whole world of how matters of Inter national import can be settled by men assembling in peaceful arbitration," said Mr. Smith. "And It is true that the Champoeg meeting was not a war like meeting but as I have known some of the men who were here at that time, I can say surely that it was no assembly that handled thingu with soft gloves. And T. T. Geer, former Governor of Oregon, added another touch to the picture, telling how more than a dozen years ago he had come out with a com mission to have F. X. Matthleu, then the sole survivor of the Champoeg as sembly, point out the exact spot where the momentous dpcision was made. " "Where was it done?" we asked Mr. Matthieu," said Mr. Geer. " 'Well, the meeting was held all over the clearing,' was his answer. 'Little groups of . us gathered and argued the question all around, and, finally, the groups got larger atid the argument stronger, until the decision was made.' "And, Anally, he pointed to the place where the Champoeg monument now stands, and said: 'Here is as good place to mark as any the meeting was held all around here. I don't remember whether the day was fair or not. I do remember that some of us had our coats off, but that may not have -been on account of the weather!' " Epochal Scene TlMtiallged. Senator W. D. Wood, of AV'ashington County, who was active in securing th $5000 appropriation in fho recent ses sion of the Legislature for an auditorium for the Champoeg memorial field, gave vigorous descriptions of Job Meek and a dozen others who had participated in the meeting and with his and with each, other speaker's utterances the great day of the past seemed to start out into more and more clearly defined relief. "It was no pacifist group, but mass of vigorous frontiersmen, full of the powerful Individualism which made it possible for them to dare to become pioneers In the West. It was a clash of powerful wills and powerful opin ions on the issue of which hung the future character of the government of Oregon and the Northwest and th ideal of the United States won." Sitting on the moist sod, sprinkled with blazing dandelions, as though some reckless Croesus had scattered double eagles broadcast perhaps it was as yellow with dandelions 64 years ago the crowd thrilled and tingled as the tale unfolded, and the thundering responses to the speakers told of the grip that the drama of the past had taken on the imaginations of the audi ence. Patriotism, a broader patriotism than - that which expressed itself merely In state pride, filled the throng, and when Captain W. H. Hardy, of the Perry expedition, in uniform of a sailor of the United States Navy, spoke the crowd went frantic with enthusiasm. Captain Hardy Exhorts Youth. With long hair and beard stlrCed In the wind, his eyes shining and his aged but vigorous form trembling un der the earnestness of his feeling, he urged the children of the pioneers to show the same steadfastness now and determination in the service of the , United States that their forefathers had shown on that ground in determin- I lng for the government under the American flag two generations ago. A similar message rang In the speech of J. D. Dee, of Mrs. Olive Enrlght, of Salem; of E. B. McFarland, all pioneers of Oregon, and persons who. had learned the story of . Champoe from the lips of the actors in it. Mrs. Arsena Burton, daughter of F. Matthieu; J. U. Smith, son of Sid ney Smith; Abner and J. E. Lewis, sons of Reuben Lewis, were introduced as the children representing the pioneers at the anniversary celebration and re ceived vicariously the honors that were paid to the pioneers who had gone before. Governor WIthycombe, who was in troduced by Chairman P. H. D'Arcy, closed his address with a stirring ap peal for unity In service of the Gov ernment in the present war and rec ognition of a patriotic duty that runs beyond the bounds of mere military service. Roatl Appeal Voiced. His plea was seconded by Senator Wood and others, urging upon the peo ple present that the development of the resources of the state at this time is a matter of equal Importance, and that the prosecution of public works that will serve to Increase the effi ciency of the state is an equal duty. In this connection they urged the united support of the people for the measure which will make possible. In the coming election, the development of the great road project In Oregon, which will link Into, and harmonize with the whole system of military roads on the Pacific Coast. Something that proved Immensely touching was th participation of the pupils of the Woodmere School in the programme. This has been the first year in which extensive participation by the school children has been pro vided for, and this year the date of the celebration was moved to Saturday, instead of being held on May 2. which Is the actual anniversary, for the pur pose of making it possible for schools to be represented. The children were under the direction of Miss Julia A. Spooner and Miss Georgia Ewing. There were nearly a score of thorn and their rollcall showed that they represented every type of foreign parentage: German-American, Canadian-French. Scotch-Irish, and so on through an endless variation oT hyphenation. Patriotism Thrill Crowd. But their ryes were bright and eager and there was not the slightest doubt of the genuineness of the Americanism that rang in their chorus, "My Own United States." Then George Eastman, 11 years old, with a merry blue? eye and a turbulent sandy mop of hair, sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" with the class and the-audience, which had risen to its feet like a wave at the first note of the boyish voice, roll ing strongly in "tho star-spangled ban ner, oh, long may it wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave." The Veteran quartet from Portland and the Fernwood band from Yamhill County vied with the school children for honors on thr musical part of the programme. In rapid succession Chairman D'Arcy called for other speakers, C. P. Church. Ernest Kroner, C. B. Moores and Milton A. Miller. Mrs. C. J. Beach, of Salem, sang "America. I Love You" with a violin accompaniment by Delbert Moore. Steamer's Siren Ends Fete. It was right in the midst of Mr. Miller's speech that the celebration ended. He had just reached tl!e climax of his patriotic peroration when the "Whoo-o-o-! Whoop!" of the steamffs siren put a throaty period to his speech and announced to the Portland contin gent that it was time to start for home. The delegations from other cities, which had been on the field before the Portland crowd arrived at noon, massed on the river bank and cheered and waved good-bye, while the band tooted into "Aloha Oe." and the Tomona backed away, half-circled and glided smoothly away down the beautiful Willamette, through the mirrored track where "Spring's green witchery is weaving" its adornments of balm and willow and white dogwood on the banks.' Trip Is Joyous. The voyage up the river to. Champoeg and back was, by the way, half the glory of the celebration for the Port land contingent. They went up on the Grahnmona and returned on the Po- Anyone can be fitted here in Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes D .4 A 1 f..

Through the efforts of John Itugg, of the Portland Young Men's Christian Association, the section of Idaho and Oregon tributary to Weiser has been organized, with Weiser as a center, to further the plans of the Army Young Men's Christian Assoclat ln. Sunday nitriit a mass meeting of all of the mona. and only a native son or daugh-lboat orfly ran Into the rain after it got ter of Oregon who knows the charm of I past Oswego on trie return trip, pioneer reunions, can appreciate what a picnic it is when a boat load of them starts out equipped with basket lunch eons to attend a celebration Buch as was held yesterday. There was a riot of food aboard both boats that would have made war-famished Kurope curl up in its trenches. And nobody, from the crew up. had to wait on invitation or introduction for the privilege of sampling the treasury of sandwiches and cake and pie that the baskets held. As far as that is concerned there wasn't any need of introduction, be cause practically everybody aboard knew everybody else, or had known their fathers and mothers in years gone by and If they hadn't George llimes or somebody else was always there to make them feel acquainted and at home. And so. up the river and back again, the glorious party moved in an atmo sphere of sandwiches and reminiscen ces. In the best sort of goodfellowship that the world has -tver known. Wild Klowern Attract. jt: On the field of Champoeg itself the Portland contingent was easily recog nizable at any time, for while the other delegations spread out over the dande lioned lawn with their basket lunches the Portlanders. already gorged on the way up. scattered like a flock of quails through the woods and emerged at all sorts of unexpected places with hands full of johnny Jump-ups, or buttercups, or dogwood blossoms? or wild currants, or any of the wild flowers that are bounl to make a city dweller run quite "loco" whenever he gets away from the paved streets. Oh yes, and there was a lemonade stand and "nigger babies" and pennants for sale, and lots of other things that gave the added touch necessary to make the festival quite satisfactory to even the smallest children there. And going and coming most of the women knitted, or tatted or crocheted, so that probably several hundred yards of patriotic service must have been clicked off by busy needles and busy bobbins, while the excursion and the celebration went on. And lastly, I don't know what the weather was like In Portland all day, but the little gods of weather took good care of the Champoeg celebration, for the day ws delightful there, and the churches will be held In Wheaton The ater, to be addressed by R. E. Randall, of the Boise Young Men's Christian As sociation, who Is heralded as "The Man Who Saw," because of his experiences with the work while he was on the Mexican border with the Third Oregon Infantry. Meetings likewise will be held In other towns of the section on the same night, for the raising of funds to further the work. The towns affiliated with this city are Huntington, Midvale, Council.
