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.

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.

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. Benny Leonard Not to Fight With Lew Tendler NEW: YORK. May 6.
