in connection with central Oregon ir-
rigatlon was telegraphed by The Port
land Journal to Speaker Ben Selling
OF the house and Senator I. n. Day.
In the case OF the interstate bridge,
bonds were issued by Multnomah

the state to be paid by the county and
deducted from Multnomah county's
share Of the state tax.

oussing the naval appropriation bill

struction of one. two, three or four
battleships this year would add ma
terially to the strength Of the power
of resistance of the United States.
This great war now raging in &u-
rope. and for that matter all over the
world. has demonstrated one thing
very clearly, and that is that a little
submarine. costing perhaps two or
three hundred thousand dollars and
carrying less than one hundred men
can with comparative immunity sink
a big dreadnaught of the enemy that
cost $15.00O.OOO and cares crew
of about 1000 men. When struck by
the torpedo from the submarine, in
cidentally, the big boat becomes a
mere deathtrap for her large crew, in /
cluding the scores Of officers which
the government owning the dread
naught had spent so much money 70 /
and train.
The greatest lesson which We have
learned in naval warfare so far in this
conflict, therefore, is the power and
of the submarine. Yet
that is where the United States is
weaker than in almost any other
branch, always excepting aeroplans,
where it is weaker than anywhere
else. This country should profit by
he lesson which the countries of Eu-
rope have spent so much money to
enormous value OF
the submarine to harass and pick off
the big fighting ships Of the enemy.
We should proceed TO equip our navy
with a large fleet of submarines and
train a large number of men in the
of these boats, the accurate
shooting OF torpedoes from them.
There is another item which should
be included in the naval appropria-
ton bill. That is a liberal allowance
FOR the building of more colliers and
supply ships for the navy. regard 1t
as a disgrace that this country had to
charter ships flying a foreign flag to
accompany our fleet on its trip around
the world because we did not have
enough supply ships and colliers In
