PORTLAND, Or., July 27. Through
the governors of the four state Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho and Utah
have entered into a cooperative alli
ance of defense against Internal ene
mies and agitators, and tor the pur
pose of rendering combined aid to tho
federal government during the prog
grcss of the war. The alliance will
direct Us energies chiefly against the
destruction of timber and crops, and
plans are under way to devise means
of effectually preventing forest fires In
the northwest. . ,
The alliance wa completed yester
day at the Portland hotel at a confer
ence between Governor Wlthycombe,
of Oregon, and Governor Alexander, ot
Idaho. The conference was held at
the urgent request of Governor Alex
ander, who journeyed to Portland af-
a telegraphic1 appointment had
been arranged with the Oregon executive.
Governor Alexander had previously
visited Olympla to confer with Gover
nor Lister, of Washington. The con
ference with Governor Bamberger,' of
Utah, was held aboard a train during
the past week, according to Governor
Alexander.
The suggestion for a combination
of the resource of the four states to
prevent sabotage ot all kinds, and
particularly the destruction of the
timber that is so vitaiiy essential to -
the government's program of ship
construction, originated apparently
1th Governor Alexander. It was he
according to his statement at the Port
land hotel, who requested the confer
ences with the governors of the other
statea and presented the plan of cooperation.
Persons familiar with conditions
in Idaho declare Governor Alexander
was forced to action of this nature as
result of the baneful activities of
the I. W. W.'s in his state. Idaho's
chief executive, however, asserts
that reports to this effect have been
greatly exaggerated. All danger of
serious destruction of property has
passed, he says, and he expresses ab
solute confidence in the ability of the
new allance to cope with any situation
that may arise.'
' We plan to complete co-operation
between the states of Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and Utah in support of
the federal government," said Govern
or Alexander. "We've nothing against
organized labor and harbor no 111 will
aeftinat anv set of citizens, but In this
crisis the government needs absolute
and unqnestioned loyalty and assist
ance. And we are now ready to pro
vide that assistance.
"The conference with Governor
Wlthycombe was altogether harmo
nious and cordial, as were my pre
vious conferences with Governor Lis
ter, of Washington, and ' Governor
Bamberger, of Utah. These gentle
men have agreed upon the most ac
tive co-operation and we will act to
gether not only in the defense of law
and order in the states Included In the
alliance, but also for the prevention ot
any destruction of timber or crops."
The Idaho governor declined to
disclose details of the plans for
handling the forest fire situation.
However, he said, he was convinced
the plans, when put into operation,
would solve the problem satisfactorily.
"I am not in a position to discuss
the matter in detail. We are chief
ly interested In rendering all pos
sible aid to the government, which is
at war and needs the assistance and
co-operation of every state and every
individual.
"Practically the entire population
ot Idaho is just as loyal as the pop
ulation of the other states. There
is only a very small per cent of the
population in Oregon , or Idaho that
seem to desire trouble, and we antici
pate nothing of that nature in the
future."
