And now it is the "Oregon"? that has, to
go the way of all battleships, and pass
from the first to the second line of de
fense, to do duty in home waters. This
announcement will occasion not a little
sentimental regret among the American
people, who will ever bear in mind the
long voyage of this battleship from the
Pacific coast to Cuba, and the brilliant
part which she played in the chase of the
Spanish squadron on its fight from San
tiago harbor. It seems but a few years
.; tKt the shins of this class ("Oregon,"
Indiana." and Massachusetts") were
heralded as the' most powerfully armed
and armored " battleships afloat The
claim was well made; for not even the
big British ships of that day could match
the combination of four 15-inch and
eight 8-inch guns and 1 8-inch facehard-
ened armor found in the "Oregon" class.
Yet these vessels possessed inherent De
fects as naval design and construction
advanced, which were bound to tell
against them. Chief among these was
the fact that their displacement of some
thing over 10.003 tons' was altogether
too small to effectively carry sucn a
powerful aggregation of offensive and
defensive elements. For in order to float
such guns and armor at all. it was nec
essary to keep down speed, coal supply,
and the supply of ammunition, to a
point which was bound ultimately to
render these ships unable to remain in
our first line of defense. i
The trend of later battleship design is
in the direction of giving a ship high free-

Connecticut" over the "Oregon , has
been si van mainlv to these features. The
main battery of. the "Connecticut in
numbers and weight is no greater than
that of the "Oreson." consisting of four
12's and eight 8's as against four lS
and eight Be. In the secondary battery
there is an increase from four 6-inch to
twelve 7-inch guns. The vastly greater

the great increase in velocity, range, ra
pidity of fire, and energy of guns. The
length of the ships has gone up from 58
to 460 feet; the breadt from 69 1-5 to
76 2-5 feet, whiie the depth, on the other
hand, has been reduced from 28 to 264
feet, a most important 'advantage for the
later ships. Displacement has increased
from 10,288 tons to 16,000 tons, and
the speed has risen from 16 knots 18.
The normal coal supply has risen from
400 to 2,000; and although the "Oregon'
is credited with a bunker capacity of 1.'
450 tons as against 2,200 tons for the
"Connecticut." she cannot take on that
amount without practically submerging
the whole of her water-line armor. In
the second line of defense, however, for
service in home waters, the "Oregon"
stilt has a useful life of many years' ser
vice before her, and in the naval annals
of the country she is destined to be placed
high on the roll of honor.

i am we'll pleased with the outlook for
me in the eastern Oregon counties,' said
Dr. James Withycombe, director of the
experiment station at Corvallisand can
didate for governor, wno was in the city
this morning on his way home from the
fruitgrowers' convention at La Grande.
'I am not a politician and do not pre
tend to be, but from the candid . and
frank statements of friends and members
of all parties I am highly encouraged
with the, prospects for my nomination
for tie oifici of gjernor at the coming
primary election."
Such are tne itTVpressions of Dr. Witn-
iombe after a few days visit among
rriends in Union. Baker and Umatilla
oounties. He if not making a regular
campaign for the nomination, but is a
candidate before the people and will ac
cept the nomination if tendered him and
will then make a clean, open straightfor
ward race for the governorship should he
receive the nomination.
Dr. Withycombe has devoted himself
;losely to his work with the state experi
ment station at Corvallis since he has
had chares of that institution and has
advanced the interests of the agricultural
college very materially in his praatical
work with the experimental department.
Ha is a lavorite with the students and
graduates of toe agricultural college, all
of whom com J n Jiroct contact - witi him
during the.r terms at the school and his
influence and fr eidship thrjughjut th
state are remarkably strong.
Dr. Withycombe is not a practical poli
tician and has never taken ' any part in
the factional differences in his party and
is an especially strong and popular can
didate for the office of governor.
In SDeaking of the experimental farm
in eastern Oregon Dr. Withycombe ex
pressed the sentiment that it was one
of the most valued resources of the state,
ano hoped to see the experiment farm
idea carried out until there were several
small stations in different localities where
the various climatic and soil conditions I
could be tested to the fullest extent-
