Looking For Site
OF First DWeIIing
In the Northwest

SPOKANE. Wash. Feb. 5.-Defln-
ite location OF the spot where David
Thompson. trapper and trader OF oy-
er one hundred years ago. built the
first house In the territory OF Ore
gon." which In early western times
comprised the whole northwest, is
the object OF a movement that has
been started at Standpoint. Idaho.
The house is said to have been
built about two and one-half miles
from Hope. Idaho. and was used as a
trading post by Thompson who was
in the employ OF the Hudson Bay
company.
Thompson, according to early wes-
tern histories, crossed to the United
States from Canada In 1909. making
his way over the old wild horse trail
from British Columbia. along the
Pack river, Lake Pend oreille and
mountain side or the Charles Fork
river. On September 80 OF the same
year he embarked on the river and
proceeded to Lake Pend Oreille IN
quest OF trading post site. finally
settling near Hope.
According to the history OF the
territory OF Oregon. which tells OF
the time when this territory was
made up OF the whole northwest, the
house which Thompson built near
Hope was the first In the entire
northwest. At about the same time
another trading post was established
on Lake Kalispell. and In 1910 one
was built at Spokane.
Before coming to the Pend oreille
lake region Thompson is said to have
had a long trip with the Hudson Bay
crew OF map-makers throughout wes-
tern Canada. At one time after locat-
Ing In the Pend Oreille country he
is said to have made trip to Winni-
peg with two tons Of furs. journey
ing the entire distance by pack horse
and boat. He is known to have ex-
plored the entire Pend Oreille lake
country and every part Of what is
now the state of Idaho.
Erection of monument to Thomp-
son when the exact spot upon which
his first house was located has been
definitely ascertained is being advo-
Gated. The old trading post which he
founded was burned many years ago.

Trade Considerations
Force Americas
Hand.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)


Washington. April 26.-America's
hand may be forced by Germany in
the controversy over reparations.
While the United States is reluct-
ant to participate directly In the
settlement of the reparations ques-
ton. word has reached the govern
ment here that the Germans are
planning a prohibitive tariff on
American pork products. Should
the contemplated action be taken.
the export trade in fats would be
ruined and the Germans would be
able to sell their vegetable oils at
an advantage.
The feeling here is that the Unit
ed States ought to have something
to say over the question of German
tariffs. The reparation commission
set up by the Versailles treaty was
to have complete power over the
regulation Of incoming and out
going commerce. On that commits
sion America was to have a men,
ber. President Wilson asked the
senate to permit MIN to name an
American commissioner, but the
senate foreign relations committee
declined. The treaty fight was at
its bitterest stage then, and Mr..
Wilson never renewed the request.
The situation has changed ma
terially, however, and evidence ac-
cumulates showing that unless the
United States promptly exercises
an influence in the reparation con-
troversy, American trade may find
itself under handicaps much the
same as is now exciting the export
ers Of pork products.
The Harding administration has
lately been moved to take a more
active part in the allied councils
because of these tariff complica-
tions and the recent decision to
attend all conferences even though
the representatives Of the United
States are unofficial observers due
to the trade situation. .
