THE GREAT BARRIER REEF.
Ons of the Marine Wonders of the Aus<

One of the Marine Wonders of the AuRS

One OF the wonders Of the world I'm
the great barrier reef of Australia.
This s.upendous rampant of coral,
stretching IN an almost unbrolSen line
for twelve hundred and fifty miles
along the northeastern coast OF Aus
tralia, presents features of interest
which are not to be equaled In any
other quarter Of the globe.
Nowhere is the action of the little
marine insect which builds up with un-
firing industry those mighty monu-
ments with which the tropical seas are
studded more impressive; nowhere are
the wonderful constructive forces of

turies an adamantine wall. against
which the gigantic pillows of the Pa
ciiic, sweeping along in an uninter-
rupted course of several thousand
miles, dash the mselves in Intellectual
fury.
Inclosed within the range of its pro-
tecting arms is calm inland sea,
eighty thousand square miles In ex-
tent, dotted with multitude OF coral
islets and presenting at every turn OBJ
jects of interest alike to the unlearned
traveller and the man of science. Here
may be witnessed at one hundred diff
ferent points the singular process by
which the wavy gelatinous living mass
hardcns into stone, then serves as
collecting ground for the flotsam and
jetsam OF the ocean, and ultimately
develops an island covered with lux
urious mass of tropical growth.
Here again, may be seen in the
serene depths of placid pools extraor-
dinary forms of marine life, agiow

ducing in their infinite variety be-
wildering sense of the vastness of the
life of the ocean.

twos and threes and the half dozen.
Yesterday morning several OF these
caucuses met on Danziger's corner, and
from the remarks that passed between
them an outsider would have thought
that things were not running smoothly
betwixt them. Later in the day it was
reported that the committee had de-
cided to reject he Browne proposition
in it's present form. The Stanton propo-
sition VIII be taken up next. though
some Of the committee want to walt and
see what the U. P. will do. but this silg-
gestion to confer again with Baxter and
Dickinson before having done with the
Stanton people is not looked upon with
favor by others. who say so long as
there are parties here claiming to have
a substantial contract to submit they
should have attention until disposed Of
finally.

JcANNERY PROSPECTS.

The cannerymen of Astoria, Or. have
almost given up hope Of large pack OF
salmon this year. Despite the fact that
all the conditions 50 far have been fav-
orable for a heavy run, fish are still
scarce, and the average pack per can
merry is not above so cases. Since the
opening OF the season, and In fact for
two weeks previously, the weather has
been all that could have been wished;
and 1t was confidently expected that the
high temperature would bring the fish
ln but the expectation failed Of realiza-
ton. There has been little or no trap
fishing yet on account of the freshet,
and until the water clears 1t would be
a waste Of time and money to get the
traps In readiness. 1t is safe to say that
the total pack for the year Will not
reach last years figures Baker City

A HARD HIT.

Early yesterday morning, when Eva
Smith was settling with Pete Munson
barkeeper for Alex. Gilbert for the
amount she owed the bar there was o
difference of 10 cents between their ac-
counts. Neither one was willing to &C"
knowledge the lack Of expert bookkeep-
Ing and the '1le" passed between them.
Eva was not going to have her business
education doubted or assailed without
some argument on her part, and she up
with n pitcher and took a crack at Pc
ter's skull, which raised such a commo-
tion that officer Seafeldt appeared on
the scene and took Eva to the station,
where Munson made a complaint charg
ing her with an assault.
The case was called yesterday after
noon In Judge Osburn's court, but con-
tlnued until Monday. at 8 o'clock. as
the complainant was too badly injured

A LUXURY.

Any man who likes griddle cakes. and
won't get his wife one of those soap
stone griddles, which do not have to be
creased, and consequently do not fill
the house with disgusting odor, should
not have cakes at all. He can get up
from the breakfast table and leave the
house, smell and ALL but his wife must
inhale the odor, which gets into each
room, for at least two hours after the
meal is over Wives, throw the old iron
griddle away and demand new soap

TWO ALARMS.

IN old Devlin mess-house, belong
ing to M. j. Kinney, caught fire in the
roof yesterday. The fire was easily ex-
tinguished, but not before some one had
turned in an alarm, presumably to see
how fast the engines could run, for
there was no necessity for 1t.
Another alarm was turned in at Z
o'clock in the evening" which proved to
be the burning roof of the building oc-
cupied by Harris e Wright. This was
extingulshed without the aid of the de-
partment.

A POINTER

Many people believe that all black
smithing jobs are alike-that they are
nothing but muscle and material mixed.
That Is true of ordinary jobs. Brains
are also used to make a good job. So is
conscience. A job made without skill
or honesty is no good. Our work is
widely known for its quality, durability
and economy in the end.
