La Urande has reached that point wha re
a large and well equipped hospital is a
necessity. There is hardly a week but
one or more patients are sent away
for treatment. Some go to Baker City,
Pendleton and Walla Walla but the ma
jority to Portiand. This is not as it should
be.
The manufacture of tantalum, one of
hardest metals known into sheets and
bars is now, it is said, being practiced in
Gerinany by the squirting process, the
material in its original powdered form
being mixed with water and gum trag
acanth and then successfully forced into
rods and shapes as desired.
The direct primary law has certainly
revolutionized the politics of this state.
Think of it only about ninety days until
the legislature moets and very little notice
is taken of the fact. Under the former
system when -the legislature elected a
United States senator, instead of the
people, the papers would be giving a great
deal of news witti reference to the legis
lature which would convene within so short
a time. The world does move.
It is estimated '.hat during the best past
mor.fi over 75,000 head of sheep have
been sold from Wallowa county and 65.
000 head from Baktr county. Wool buy-

the action of the government in extending
the forest reserves, and the announce

However much naval powers may
watch and imitate one another in building
battleships there will always be marked
physical differences imposed by different
ccr.d:'.:s-; 0 i.auuuol mari-uine ex
istence.
Both Germany and the United States
are planning ships to rival the great
British Dreadnought but it is certain that
both German and American ships will
differ from the British in important par
ticulars. They may be as strong and
as seaworthy but they will differ in form
as the typical American yateh differs from
the British yacht.
The British islands posses an abundance
of deep harbors and river estuaries in '
which docking facilities can be easily '
proved almost without limit of capacity. 1
American harbors are shallow in com- '
parsion and the low flat shores of the
German ocean are bordered by shallow 1
waters and traversed by r.vers that tend !
to fill up with silt at the mouth. Bath j
German and American ships have to be i
1
designed of smaller draft. Th s makes
them broader of beam for the same ton
nage and compels a compete re-arrang-ment
of design.
All our ships from tre first coast defense
battleships have differed in this respect
from English ships of r.e same size.
The navy depa.tment :s now working
01. a huge battleship of 20.000 tons.
If this were a Brit sn warsn.p cr a
merchant vessel like the b ; jcean liners
it would have at least lo fee: draft. In
order to enter as many A-ner can harbors
as possible it must be p'ar.red fjr only 50
feet draft.
The German batdesVps ...any of which
are of the coast defe-se type, have the
same lirnitatio-s and mi cr. trie same char
acter as ours, and they wili be more likely
to copy oui big ship tran the British.
Hardly any European pa a er has harbors
to occomodate ships of tne British type,
the Spain and Italy are oest eq j pped.
Therefore their navy vessels resemble
those of Great Britain.
