Though the Oregon is still a first class fighting machine the years of her usefulness are numbered and If she leads the parp.de through the canal It will probably be the last time she occupies tho public' eye prominently.

"It would be a great thing to have the Oregon lend tho naval'parade," said iiovernor West. "By reason of the famous trip the ship -made around the Horn and her part In the battle of San tiago her place is naturally at the head of the ships that will first pass through the canal, and anyway, Oregon takes the lead in everything, and the battle ship named for her should follow, that exam pie."
