They protect the lowlands from the wasulug of the waves, and tho si Hi waters Inclosed by them are the only harbors of refuge for ships. The reefs themselves fur nish the greatest peril to navigation, and If there were no Inlet through which u vessel could enter their pro tected circle they would be a danger and nothing else. But ulniost every reef has such an lu let. It Is a necessary result of tho laws under which the forces of nature work To understand this we must see liow these reefs are formed. Chemically the reef corals are almost pure enrbonate of lime, the substance of ordinary limestone and marble. The reef grows as the shell of the oyster or of any other shellfish grows. It Is itself the common and undivided shell of Innumerable polypi.- or minute in sects, which are being reproduced and are dying In successive generations. These Uny beings get all their living from the waters of the sea. It is from this source also that they derive tlie salts of lime from which they secrete the bony structure that remains after the animal Is dead. The coral polypi cannot live In fresh water. Their food supply Is brought to them by the waves and currents of the sea. As a result. It Is found that directly opposite the mouth of n streajn, from the Island the reef does not grow. There will be the Inlet to the Inclosed waters. Harper's Weekly. The Matches We Burn. It has been estimated that for each minute of time the civilized nations of the world strike 3.000,000 matches. This Is said to be the average for every minute of the twenty-four hours of the day. Fifteen hundred billion Is tho number for the entire year, and those persons who live under the American flag are charged with the consumption of one-half of this amount. Small and Insignificant as it is. the match de mands as much attention In the choice of woods involved as any other forest product. Only the choicest portions of the best trees are suitable. Sapwood and knotty or cross grained wood will not do. Instead of being a byproduct the little match is turned out in mills where the byproducts are bulky ob jects like doors, sash, shingles, sidings, posts and cordwood. The pines, lin den, aspen, white cedar, poplar, birch and willow are the most suitable match Umbers. Chicago News. Preparing His Speech. A reply very characteristic of the statesman and diplomat who made it is given In the "Autoglography of Al fred Austin." Lord and Lady Salis bury were among the guests at Hewell Grange. Lord Salisbury bad come to speak at a public meeting. On the morning of the day when the speech was to be delivered, seeing Lord Salis bury passing into the study, I said to him: "I suppose you are going to think over what yon will say tonight?" "No,"' he said-in his ironical way; "rather to think over what I must not say." . . . To Meet an Emerjjency. . "Madam, have you any old clothes .0 give away?" l'I have a suit belonging to my hus band, but 1 fear it is too big for you." "Oh, that will be all right!

Reviews Political Situation as Relates to Congress. (Portland Oregouian) Since that part of the state east .of the Cascade Mountains was created Into a separate congressional district by act of the last state legislature, it has been a quiet day when some can didate did not aspire to some one or other of the offices within the gift of tho electors of that section. This to particularly true In tho matter of candidates for representative In con gresB from the Bficond district. Latest among the aspirants among republi cans for this nomination is George T. Cochran of La Grande. Mr. Cochran is now serving as water commissioner from the Eastern Ore gon district, having been elected In the last general election. Friends of Mr. Cochran who has a large ac quaintance throughout the second dis trict, are urging him to get Into the contest. Mr, Cochran has refrained from making any deflnite announce ment hut his candidacy has already received considerable impetus through the efforts of his friends. Although probably a dozen republi cans In Eastern Oregon have been sug gested and even considered tentative condidates for this nomination, John P. (Jerry) Rusk, also of La Grande, Ib the only one who Is conducting an aggressive campaign. Ever since Rusk moved from Joseph to La Grande following the last session of tho legis lature when ho was speaker of the houBe, he has been looking after his political fences. This has included a personal visit to many of the counties of tho district from which he seeks election. Other republicans suggested is con nection with this nomination are: J. X. Burgess, state senator from Umatil la county; S. F. Wilson, of Athena; W. II. Brooke, of Ontario: T. J. Mahoney, of Heppnor; II. U. Butler, of The Dall es; W. Lair Thompson, of Lakevlew; N. J. Sinnott, state RPimtor from Was co county; F. W. Wilson, and M. A. Moody, both of The Dalles; F. S, Ivan hoe, of Union county; C. A. Barrett, state senator from Umatilla, and Otlfc Patterson, of Canyon City. Of these, Thompson, of Lake, is out of the race. When in the city last week, Mr. Thompson made It known that he would be a candidate in April for the nomination to succeed ' Dr. George H. Merryman as state senator from Grant, Harney, Crook and Kla math. Dr. Merryman will not be a candidate to succeed himself. Mr. Thompson In the last session of the legislature served as representa- i tlve from the same district. In the I house lie was recognized ns the most able member. Although leader of a minority, he was Instrumental In in fluencing much of the legislation con sidered during the session. Mr. Thomp son has received flattering assuranceB of support from republicans through out the district from wihlch he will seek nomination and election to the state senate, W. H. Brooke of Malheur, may not seek re-election to the house of repre sentatives In which ho served at the 1911 session. He Is said to be seri ously going before the voters and ask ing for election as prosecuting attorney for the ninth judicial district to suc ceed the Incumbent, J. W. McCulloch who has alBo been mentioned as a probable candidate for representative In congress from the Eastarn Oregon district. : LADIES We have a lot of ladles woolens wa will njake a reduction on for the next 30 days.
