The January 12 1906 Goodwins Weekly salutes Oregon noting its Pacific coast location near waves and a strong Oregon identity. It mentions Lewis and Clark exposition impressions, prosperity, timber valleys and rivers, and strong state pride. It also parodies political gossip about C A Johns and references figures such as La Follette Spooner Wellman.
The piece humorously notes Walter Wellman as the right man for an arduous polar expedition, hoping his endeavor will be immortalized by the Record-Herald. It touches on Missouri jokes by H Rogers, copper trades, a New York harbor quip, and ends with a line on vigilance and liberty.
In Portland, Rev H C Shaffer of the United Brethren Church denounces revival meetings held a year ago as political caucus driven and overadvertised. He defends his unmuraled pulpit, praising courage and sincerity while condemning the previous campaign’s manipulation and lack of spiritual license.
The Oregon, once a Pacific coast flagship destined for Cuba, is retired from front line service. The public remembers its long voyage to join the Spanish squadron chase and its role in the battle history of the era, marking the end of an era for U.S. naval power.
The piece discusses the Oregon class with four 18 inch and eight 18 inch guns and heavy armor, noting their high displacement and design flaws. It explains how speed and supply limits would hinder first line defense, while newer battleships like the Connecticut increase displacement, firepower, and armor. It also comments on naval strategy shifts toward larger ships with greater energy and range. It closes with a lighter aside on political meddling and a note about building a college athletic program in Chicago.
