T1IK MUKMAU UKKUOMA.. lKID.YV, MAY 21. 1015. 7 GOVERNORS PLEAD FOR SHIPS: ADJOURN Bigger Naval Force Wanted for Defense of Pacific Coast in Case of Need. BUTTE TO GET MEETING Mr. "Withj-eombc on Conimltteo to Ask readjustment of Fleet. Federal Highway Aid and Water Division, Discussed. SHATTLE, Wash., May 20. A reso lution asking the Federal Oovernment lj provide greater naval protection for the racifio Coast was adopted by the conference of Western Governors at the closing session today. The resolu tion, which was drafted by a special committee consisting of Oovernor V ithycombe. of Oregon; Governor Stewart, of Montana, and ex-Governor Hawley, of Idaho, points out that the Navy Is not represented on the Pacific In proportion to the coastline, popula tion and commerce of the Pacific Coast states, H asks a reassignment of war ships as far as possible without in terfering with the general scheme of National defense. In accordance with -the programme voted yesterday, the Governors adopt ed a resolution deferring action on the water-power question until the meet ing of the National Water-power Con gress at Portland September 21, when the conference of Western Governors will hold an adjourned session. I relent 1 Hlchway Aid Vrjred. The Governors accepted Governor Stewart's invitation to hold the 1916 conference at Butto, Mont. All the Governors left for their homes tonight. Governor Carlson, of Colorado, to day read a. paper urKintr Federal aid for highway construction, pointins out that highways are of value to the Government in developing federal irrl gation projects and would have mill tarv value. Governor Boyle, of Nevada, called attention to the need for agreement among the states in apportioning wa ter for irrigation from interstate streams. Ho pointed out that a California law passed two years ago prohibited diver sion of water from streams rising in California for use in another state Governor F'.oyle said that if this law was upheld by the Supreme Court of the Cnited States it would prevent the development of much laud in Nevada Paper to Re Head In Portland. The conference instructed Governor lioyle to prepare a comprehensive paper on the subject to be read at the fort land meeting after Governor Carlson and ex-Governor Hawley had pointed out that the interests of most of the states were divided and that Nevada's case was exceptional. Governor Carl son suggested that the equitable nppor tlonment between the states of water front interstate streams as provided in the settlement of the Kansas-Colorado suit over the Arkansas River several years ago was probably the best solu tion. Resolution Aikt More Ships. Tho resolution requesting more war ships for the defense of the Pacific Coast says: "The matter of proper coast defenses has for several years been a subject of wide Interest and discussion, espe cially in the Western states of the United States, the subject having come into renewed consideration as a result of the present international situation. At the present time the greater pro portion of the vessels comprising the Navy of the I'nited States are stationed along the Atlantic Coast of the United States, the distribution of such vessels as between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, in proportion to coast line, pop ulation and commerce, being entirely disproportionate. The Pacific Coast of the United States is provided with ample facilities and capacity, in Its two lirst-class Navy-yards, to care properly for many more vessels than are now stationed on the Pacific Coast. Readjustment 1 Favored. "We cannot but feel that the Pacific Coast of the United States, at least In the proportions as above stated, is en titled to a more equitable distribution and disposition of the vessels of the I'nited States Navy than now obtains. Therefore, we believe the Federal Gov ernment, through the Navy Department, should. In so far as the same may be accomplished without Injury to the gen eral plan of National defense, arrange without delay for a more equitable dis tribution and assignment of the vessels rf the Atlantic and Pacific fleets." The Orange O Club, composed of Ore-1 gon Agricultural College athletes who have won their varsity letter, is making elaborate preparations for the athletic carnival to be held here this week-end.

Saturday morning the co-ed. tennis tournament with the University of Oregon will be held, and in the afternoon the Oregon Agricultural College-Oregon track meet will be staged. Saturday night the carnival will end with a dance, following a con cert by the O. A. C. cadet band. Cottage Grove Editors Show Signs of Conflict. Bruises of One. However. Are Sustained by Crash of Wheel With Auto, other Hit by Scant-IIuk. COTTAGE GROVE. Or., May 20. (Special.) Editing a newspaper in Cottage Grove is becoming an extreme ly hazardous occupation. Both editors are too well geared up for a fight and other means are being taken to exter minate them. A few weeks ago Klbert Bede, the editor of the Sentinel, narrowly es caped death when the bicycle which he was riding was struck by an auto mobile and he was sprawled out over about 13 feet of concrete sidewalk. He escaped, however, with only a few minor bruises. A few days ago Editor Conner, of the Leader, had an equally narrow es cape. In his capacity as a news gath erer he peered Inside the Rex Theater to learn how the repairs were progress ing. tA that moment a. timber fell from the ceiling and struck him a. glancing blow on the forehead and nose, the attention of a physician be ing necessary to stop the flow of blood. His hat was badly damaged, and Mr. Conner declares that unless some kind subscriber comes to his aid he will be compelled to perambulate the streets in a hatless condition. Had the timber struck Mr. Conner on the top of the head his injuries would have been serious, if not fatal. The editor of the Sentinel has been accused of inflicting the wounds on Editor Conner's face, but the latter in dignantly denies the former's ability to Inflict them.
