MANY ANXIOUS TO JOIN
NEW CAVALRY REGIMENT
Governor West Sends Out Blanks to

Young Men.
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE
:. ARTILLERY SENT TO FRONT
Coast Guard Has Been Trained AS

Says West.

Governor West this morning sent out
Oregon cities, and others who have in
quired concerning the proposed cavalry

SO many letters are coming to this
office from those who are anxious to
join the Cavalry Regiment now being
organized by Lieutenant Hennessey,
l am taking the liberty of sending you
herewith several petitions for the
signatures of those in your community
who wish to organize troop.
Should these blanks be returned by
those interested with a reasonable
number of signatures steps will be
taken to get in touch with the parties
and aid them in perfeeting an organ
ization.
l would appreciate anything you may
do to bring this matter to the atten-
tiOn of the young men in your COM
munity.
Yours sincerely,
Oswald West.
Speaking of the coast artillery the
governor continued . While the organ
ization of the proposed cavalry regi-
ment is progressing nicelyf nothing is
being done which will interfere with
the recruiting to full strength of the
other branches of the service.
In event troops are called the Ore
gon National Guard as now organized
will be the first to go. This is as it
should be, as those who have been as
aithful in their work as the officers
men of the oragnized militia
should be given their opportunity when
troops are needed.
"When the call is made for troops
/ earnestly hone all of the officers and
men may be able to qualify and the
Guard go to the front as now organ
lied except that it is my earnest desire
to see the Coast Artillery Corps sent
to as another regiment of Infantry,
and ! am putting forth my best efforts
to bring this about.
