PARTY PLATFORM

Few divisional political pla.- forms have been before the Alask2n voter which are so broad and swee. ing as is the Republican, platform adopted by the Divisional RepubIi- cLn Convention at JuUeau. The pledges oI the party for this diyl- sion are sure to meet with the ap- prOYal Of the voters unless they are so kide bound by party politics that they become blinded by q Uur'y Same.
 The platform touches the essen t.als of good government. It goes righ' tC the root of political con ullions and offers q speedy and aae Quate remedy for the evils which now seem to exist in the laws OI tue Territory. Nothing of import LuCe Is left out of the platform. It does not hide itself in q perpexity or verbal Iinguism, but boldly stands out striking at the root ol the Territorial ills.

The success Of Skagway depends in the main on the development of ths interior. The recent mine develop ments in the interior are most promising. Mines which, have been lying Idle for years are now begin ming to ship ore. New properties are beng continually made. All Of this sounds most promising to the Skasway business man for any Increased activity which goes on in the interior will be beneficial to this city as this is the natural gateway to reach that section Of the country.

CORAL REEFS.
Nature's Methods In Building These
 Seashsll Monuments.


 Coral reefs surround many of the is- lands in the Pacific They protect tho Iowlands from the washing of the waves, and the still waters inclosed by them are the only harbors of refuge for ships. The reefs themselves furnish the greatest peril to navigation, and 1T there were no inlet through which Q vessel could enter their protected cir cle they would be a danger and nothing else.
 But almost every reef has such an Inlet. It Is q necessary result of the laws under which the forces of nature work. To understand this we must see how these reefs are formed.
 Chemically the reef corals are almost pure carbonate of lime. the substance of ordinary limestone and marble. The reefJgrows as the shell of the oyster or any other shellfiSh grows IL is Itself the ,common and undivided shell of in- numeEable polypi. or minute Insects which are being produced and are dying in successive generations.
 These tiny beings get all their living from the waters of the sea. 1t is from this source also that they derive the 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 q result it Is found that direct. Iy opposite the mouth of the stream from the island the reef does not grow There will be the inlet to the lnclosed waters.-LOs Angeles Times.

The action of the Rumanian gov erument in declaring war upon Aus tria and thus siding with the Allies in the continental war will end a certain amount of guess work on the part of war followers. Rumania has been under the eye of the mili- tary critics for the last year. It seemed to hang in the balance of fate, ready at any moment to top pie over and declare itself for either the Allies or the Central Powers.
