MONUMENT PROPOSED
" TO, SAMUEL SIMPSON
Candidates for Governor,

By CHARLES J. LISLE
. e .....
Yesterday occurred the Tflth
anniversary of the! signing ofthe
Champoeg " agreement ' which
brought' Oregon securely into she
United t States, and' brojte the
questionable ties that had bound
the territory to Great- Britain
through the Hudson's bay -com
pany. The ' anniversary was cei$;
hrated at. Champoeg by almost
1000' pioneers and Visitors.
They flocked in. by auto, by
steamboat;, and. while, the,, "crowd
was gathering, an airplane swoop
ed down' llka.a hawfchunting its
prey skimming down ; tne river,
rooming in giddy, circles over the
Tillage site,' ' ' ' : ' "
llrst Came by Canoes
The . original 'pioneers came by
canoe from up and dbwn the river.
on horseback, on. foot, their moc
caslned feet . threading scores of
miles of. then; almost unbroken
forest where the bear, the cougar,
the grey wolf, the Indian, made
every . rod. a new . adventure. Yes
terday, the writer saw but one
China pheasant and one silver-
grey squirrel, in a 60-mlle drive
to k and from the - Champoeg
grounds. State Senator Alex La-
Polletfe, with whom He rode, has
killed 'f wagonloads of deer along
the same v road and he "came
many years after the Champoeg
meeting was called, and the town
itself was swept away in the great
iiood oi 1861. now different!
r Monument on Spot 3
The pioneers' monument, erect
ed several years ago to the mem
ory of the 62 signers of the Ore
gon agreement, stands on the pre
cise spot where Joe Meek, leader
of the American, partisans, called
his. friends out of the warehouse
hall where they had met and lined
them up on the'grass to be count
ed. V The old ; warehouse itself if
gone. It had been built on the
river bank to be convenient for
loading and unloading boats,' and
When the bank caved away, the
warehouse went. Strangely, it
was a poctor John McLoughlln
.warehouse, and bjfc furnished xhe
roof , under which his empire. was
wrested away from him. But he
couldn't have stopped the coarse
of history; U was decreed that the
missionary settlers were to prevail
.over the red-coat ruler, and it was
Providence and .' not ingratitude
that voted there on the Champoeg
sward.
Signers Across Divide
Not one of the original signers
of the Champoeg agreement was
pesent yesterday. There is ' not
one o them left alive The last.
a.. Matnieu, wno lived only a
mile or so away, died ' clx years
ago. But people were there who
can almost recall the event, Dr.
0rens-Adalr, author ct the eu
genics bill that the people of
Oregon killed a year ago, came o
Oregon that year; she was pres
ent and spoke at the meeting yes
terday.'
Ben Looney of Jefferson was
a boy a whole year old, and with
his parents they were sailing the
sea of, buffalo on their way , up
the Platte river, to Oregon at
the precise minute tne Champoeg
agreement was feeing signed.
Legally, he was then a citizen of
Oregon,, though they did not ar
rive in the state until that fall
Mrs. William Russell, who was
on the : platform Saturday, came
only a year later. All that won
derful past lives almost into the
present , in the persons of these
pioneers. ; .
Flood Scarcely Believable
v People who, are told that "the
old town washed away in ! the
flood of .18 61, " look to see where
It washed from, or politely cough
and begin to . talk about the
weather, on which topic one can
lie without its being chalked; up

Committee of Senate Re
publican Leaders Wait
' Unon Harding, and Pro
mise to Study Issue.
SENATORS SAY TAXES
WILL NOT BE ADDED
McCumber and Smoot Plans
Now Strongly in Consid
eration by Congress r
' WASHINGTON, May 6.-Presi-
dent Harding took ' under advise
ment today the modified house
soldiers' bonus plan presented to
him by a committee of senate
Republican leaders.
He told the senators that he
would study the proposal and the
One 'to be presented early next
week by' Senator Smoot, Utah,
ranking Republican on the sen
ate finance committee and would
renew the dlscussien with them
later. , ,j
President is Silent
, Those calling at the White
House were Senator Lodge, Mas
sachusetts. the Republican leader.
Chairman McCumber and Sena
tors Curtis of Kansas and Watson
of Indiana, members of the fi
nance committee. Senators said
the president had given no inti
mation as to his opinion of the
amended house bill but asked
many questions concerning its
provisions.
The president Was told, sena
tor! said, that it was the desire of
congressional leaders that no ad
ditional taxes be enacted in con
nection .with the bonus and that
it. would be lmpoBsibleto put a
sales tax through congress. While
no specific plan of financing the
bonus was presented to the execu
tive, it is the thought of bonus
advocates that the legislation lean
be financed out of the refunded
British bonds
, Negotiations Prof-resa I
The president was asked by his
callers whether th?re. was b.t$?
liklihood of . the'- treasury receiv
ing these refunded British bonds
sooner than . heretofore anticipat
ed. He was quoted as replying
merely that the refunding nego
tiations are in progress.
Neither the commonly known
McCumber plan nor the Smoot
plan: calls for any considerable
outlay of money within the next
few years, and seme senators said
that whatever cost would be; enr
tiled, could be taken out of; the
$200,000,000 annual interest on
the debt owed by Great britain,
which that country is expected to
begin paying this year.
McCumber PUtn Explained
The McCumber plan, like . the
house bill, would call' for no loans
to veterans by the government
for a period of three .years,,- hut
banks would be authorized to ad
vance to the soldiers sums equiv
alent to one-half of. the adjusted
service credit of the veterans! At
the expiration of three years, the
treasury would make loans. direct
to the men. .
The Smoot plan contemplates
the Issue of 20 year life insurance
endowment policies to the veter
ans in lieu of. all ojher options
heretofore propose!, including
the vocational training, home; and
farm aid and land settlement! and
if would make no specific provis
ion for loans on the policies.;
Discussion Follows
The, po'llcies would have a face
value equivalent to slightly more
than, three times the amount of
the adjusted service credit of the
veterans and the face value would
be paid at the end of 20 years or
sooner upon the death of the vet
eran. After the senators returned to
the capital from the White House,
there was a discussion among
leaders generally as to whether
the bonus should displace the tar
iff, bill. There was some taljc
about calling a psrrty conference
to decide this question, bat" no
formal ilecision was reached. This
may 'await the president's diecis
lon as to the kind of bonus; bill
he wiH approve.

COLUMBIA, S. C. May 6.
Prof. M. Goode Homes, head of
the department of engineering, of
the. University of South' Carolina,
was shot and killed in the treas

Hale, superintendent of grounds
of the university, who then
killed himself.
The double tragedy, according
to a statement issued by Dr.

the university, was believed to be
the esult of "bitter feeling be

of their conflicting duties at the
university." ,

Chief Moffitt Praises- Boy
Scouts for Traffic Work,
No Crime Reported
Circus day, for the first time in
years, was . an uneventful affair
in police circles -yesterday. The
Al G. Barnes Shows, although de
layed by traveling accidents,
"made" this city with as little
disturbance as a Sunday school
convention.
No complaints of burglaries or
petty thefts were made to the
police; -while the1 heavy traffic
was handled with only one accident,-and
that a minor affair.
All day ong Scout Executive
Zinzer and his , Boy Scouts aided
Chief Moffitt'e- department in
controlling the. traffic.
"I wish to thank the Boy
Scouts for their excellent service
in working with .traffic problem?
yesterday," said Chief Moffltt
last "night. "Every auto owner
co-operated in the work."
The police sub-station, with
special telephone service at the
circus grounds" proved a success
in every way, information and
routing demands being handled
with greater efficiency.

To tell who deserves the credit

McGilchrist was the nominal head
and EX Cooke Patton was the
nominal manager; but so many
good fellows (threw their own
private affairs into the . waste
basket to give their time and
thought to the show, that they're
all to be thanked alike. There
is a story of a general who needed
some volunteers for an especially!
aeaaiy assault.
"Now, I'll turn my back and
not watch you," he said, 'and
you mustn't feel that I have com

He looked away for a bit. When
