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

College-Oregon track meet will be

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.
