such station if the plans of the

station in eastern Oregon-at Baker

as may likely be quite different from
those existing in Pendleton for in

Would Prevent Epidemics.

The adoption of such chain of OBJ
servatory stations would enable the
health officers, from the impending
weather changes, to predict with con-
siderable certainty threatened epi-
denies, as of influenza, for instance.
and the warning issued would be of
great potection to the people within
the area afflicted if needed by them.

being used in several other states with
great success, and the Oregon board
is anxious, according to DR.. Smith of

the same advantages to this state.

the ability of such a station to warn

acquainted with the conditions-par-
ticularly in the early fruit district in

for the first time may not result

bat if it does not they can lay
the blaim to their own lack of

not avail because each delegate
to the county convention really
is bound by the vote Of his pre-

The increase of the navy has
brought some of the best argu
ments on both sides of the cues
ton which have ever been given
on the floor of the national as
sembly according to the east
ern dailies and in the debates
the men who have favored
such increase have had the best
OF the argu ment because of the
Presidents support, given in
no weak manner.
"Prior to the recent Hague
Conference it had been my hope
that an agreement could be
reached between the different
nations to limit the increase of
naval ornaments, and especially
to limit the size Of war ships.
Under these circumstances | felt
that the construction of one
battle shipa year would keep
our navy up to it's then positive
and relative strength, but &C
tual experience showed not
merely that it was impossible to
obtain such an agreement for
the limitation of ornaments
among the various leading
powers, but that there was no
likelihood whatever of obtaining
it in the future within any reas-
enable time. Coincidentally
with this discovery occurred a
radical change in the building of
battleships among the great
military nations, a change in &C.
cordance with which the most
modern battleships have been
or are being constructed of size
and armament which doubles or
more probably trebles their eff
fectiveness. Every other great
naval nation has or is building a
number of ships of this kind; we
have provided for but two, and
therefore the balance Of power
is now inclining against US. I'M
der these conditions to provide
for but one or two battle-ships a
year is to provide that this ma.
ton instead Of advancing shall
60 backward in naval rank and
relative power among the great
nations. Such a course wonld
be unwise for us if we fronted
merely on one ocean, and it is
doubtly unwise when we front
on two oceans.
