ORDER OF
Lewis Hopkins Bogars, a New

state of Oregon, through Sam A.
Kozer, secretary of state, manu
script consisting of between 80,
000 and 100,000 words and more
than 100 photographs descriptive
f the eventful five-year cruise of
the U. S. S. battleship Oregon
around the world, upon condition
that the state publish the same in
book form.
Mr. Kozer has accepted the
manuscript and photographic
views on behalf of the state and
advised the author that the pro
posed publication by the state of
such a book comes entirely within
the province of the legislative as
sembly since nothing of the char
acter can be undertaken by any
department or official upon its or
his own initiative. Mr. Kozer will
submit the proposal of Mr. Rogers
for the consideration of the 1923
session of the legislature as to the
advisability of providing an ap
propriation for publishing the
book.
The material for the interesting
narrative, together with the pho
