Browne Measured by the age of the records of mankind on earth, the length of a single generation, or even a sinBle century, is but a short span. But there are single lives that are privileged to see greater events and greater pro gress than are recorded in a dozen centuries of the past. There, is a ten dency among all men, as there has been Jor many a dayi Ao look on the "good old times" and wish for a share of life as it used to be. Perhaps the student of the twentieth centurv. will look back upon the romance that is aeaa, just as we are prone to look back on the picturesque events of co lonial days and the organization of the first provisional government west' of the Rocky Mountains, and its de velopment, with a feeling that we lost much by not living when these sig nificant things were happening. This sentiment was manifested in word and action at Champoeg Saturday af ternoon when a little band of pl. neers met to pay tribute to those fif ty two sturdy men women did not Vote ln those days who stepped on one side of a line, with Joe Meek as the leader, to determine this all im portant Question. . , These anniversary occasions at Champoeg are as profitable as they are interesting, and the meeting last Saturday w as not an exception to the general rule, except, perhaps, from a standpoint of attendance. ! Early in the forties the sturdy pio neers of Missouri and other sections east of the Mississippi began to look with longing eyes over the great di vide which separated them from tho fertile lands occupied by the Indians. If they did not sing, at least they thought, This is the land we long have ' . -j sought, And mourned because we had K not. : And as non-possesslpn of a thing desired always enhances its supposed value, the desire to possess the abid ing place of the poor Indian soon be came an all pervading subject of dis cussion. Word came to the one hun dred two white settlers of this terri tory that a colony was coming' pver the great hills, and It was this infor mation that seemed to make a provis ional government of great importance. From remarks made by the several speakers assembled on the memor able grounds much interesting history was obtained; and the stories, though often told, are always new. Wonderful developments have tak en place since that eventful second day of May, 1843, when Joe Meek made a line in the dirt with the heel of his boot at Champoeg, and him self leading the way, asked all ho favored the organization of a provis ional government to stand with hiin on the one side, and all opposed tf stand on the other. Here they stood, these Oregonians, fifty two of them in the affirmative and fifty in the negative. It was a measure of .great moment to Oregon, full of difficulties as it was. But how well these difflcul ties were overcome is seen in the re markable development of this coun try since that question was deemed by our forefathers. If we look at the situation judiciously we are forced iq the conclusion that never ln all the history of Oregon were greater move ments under way than those of the immediate present. The man who lives today cannot say with the dreamer that "the age of romance Is dead. Witness In Bomb Plots KiUs Self New York, May J. Tony Tazlo, 30 years old, detained by the department of justice against number of radicals involved In the bomb outrages last June, committed suicide early today by hurling himself from a window on the fourteenth floor of a Park Row of fice building where the department headquarters are located. Chief William J. Flynn, of the de partment, said today that Taxio was one of several anarchists who were arrested tn connection with the bomb explosions of June 2 last, and had been detained at headquarters as a government witness for six weeks. Arrest Is I'uknown. The June bomb attacks included the homes of Judge Charles C. Nott, of general sessions court In New York and Attorney General Palmer at Wash Ington. The explosions resulted irt the death of two persons. Tazio's suicide revealed for the first time that any important arrest ever had been made-in connection with the case. Chief Flynn said that the man's real name was Andrae Salsedo. He admitted, according to Chief Flynn, that it was he who printed the pink circulars, copies of which were found In the vicinity of homes wreck ed by the bombs. baisedo was a printer and writer. He was sleeping with another govern ment witness when he got up. went to Instead he should realize that he is ! th,e T"1 rom nd JP m the in the midst of the most dramatic period in history.

He declined, , however, to give the names or to explain "what part they had played. From Chief Flypn and N. C.

He admitted, how ever, that the circular headed "plain words' 'and signed "anarchist fight ers' had been turned out on his press es.

Laundry Safe Is Broken By Yeggs Sunday Morning Yeggs Invaded the offices of the Capital City Laundry, Broadway and Gaines avenue, at 3 o'clock Sunday morning, hammered the door of the safe in, stole $8 In cash, $12 in bills and a bundle of canceled checks and made their escape without leaving so much as one clue. Chief of Police Welsh, who investigated the robbery soon after It waa reported, today said that he is without one clue to work upon, except vague theories that may prove groundless. In the investiga tion he was aided by Sheriff Needham and Deputy Bowers who made unsuc cessful attempt o -develop finger prints. This was made impossible be cause of the heavy dust that covered the safe and surrounding objects. . The yeggs gained entrance to the building by removing a window. Un like most safe crackers, they did not use oxy-acetlyne burner or nltro-gly-cerlne, but used a heavy hammer and blacksmith's punch with which they battered two holes, about five inches In diameter, ln the door of the safe. They then knocked the lock off, and piled The pieces on fop of the safe, After removing. the contents of the safe the buaglars rifled the desks In the office, scattering papers and draw ers over the floor. A man told police that he heard muffled blows in the building when he was a block away, but, neighbors residing witntn 20 feet of the laundry were not awakened. Simultaneous with the report. of the, safe-cracking at the laundry a report was received from Sheriff Kendall at Albany that a bank had been robbed there at three o'clock. He declared that a negro had been seen running from the bank to mount train No. 62. bound north. Officers Victor, W. J. and J. F.
