ferred to street committee. The com
mittee reported favorably on the
petition of Main street property own
ers, and also reported favorably on
the proposed ordinance establishing

Card of Thanks.
The young ladies who gave the en

thanks on behalf of the Y. M. C. A.,
to all who aided in any way to make
it tho success it was.
Tho success that met tho enter
tainment at Liberty hall last Friday
night encourages the Home Dramatic
association in the belief that their ef
forts will bo as warmly welcomed next
Tuesday evoning. Tho association is
all that it claims to be a home dra
matic society, and apart from its
evident ability as demonstrated on
former occasions, tho fact of its being
a local institution should commend it
to our citizens generally. On Tues
day evening "Enlisted for the War;

A special meeting of Astoria En
gine Co. No. 1, was held at the hall of

up a good team, and after some dis
cussion in reference to the captaincy of
the team, it was decided to arrange
that matter at tho first drill.
According to all reports the farm
ers in the White and Puyallup river
valleys will confine their attention
this season almost wholly to the culti
vation of hops. The Chronicle trusts
that their most sanguine expectations
in this direction may bo fully realized,
yet it cannot withhold the suggestion
that it would be more safe to devote
a portion of the cultivated lands to
diversified crops. A failure of tho
hop crop, or serious depreciation in
tho market value of the product,
would entail great loss, that could be
more easily borne were a portion of the
land devoted to hay, potatoes, etc.
Hay makes fat beevee, and there can
never be u depression in the beef
market.

Professional Lassitude.
There are certain characteristics
connected with a lazy man which are
admirable. They excite in the
twanging, jingling breasts of tho
nervously fidgety a feeling which
borders on respect and is akin to awe.
Your double-geared fidgety man will
spin all day like a top and run down
in tho cool of the ovening on the
identical spot on which he started off
after breakfast. The man suffering
from chronic lassitude will keep still
keep cool, keep in the shade, put in a
full day's work resting himself, and
arrive on time at sundown, cool,
calm aud collected, without having
once sweated under the collar or laid
a hair.
The professional lazy man seems to
eat, drink, and sleep with as much
gusto and sang froid as his fidgety
brother with the high-pressure
anatomy aud double-cylinder, fast,
perfecting, hygienic apparatus who
gets hot in the box and wears and
grinds and cuts his life away like a
piece of misfit machinery. The fact
of the whole business is, the man of
bustle and confusion wears his life
away for the want of the oil of rest.
The professional lazy man just soaks
along through this valo of tears like a
handful of cotton waste in the oil cup
of a box-car axle.
We have not the least doubt in tho
world but that we could bo a profes
sional lazy man and not half try. If
we had to "try very hard it would
break the spell. The charm would
have flown, and things would be sadly
mixed. The motto of tho man afflict
ed with chronic laziness is, "Give us
a rest or, give 113 death." The pro
fessional lazy man gets to tho grave
yard on schedule time the same as the
nervous, fidgety gentleman who wor
ries along the pathway of life like a
Texas mulo fighting sand flies. And
tho moral of all this is to tho effect
that it is far bettor to be born lazy
than crooked, deformed, and, as
Rjckard III Baj's, "sent into this
breathing world scarce half mado up."

The Coast Road.
For some time, says the Petaluma,
Cal. Courier there havo been rumors
of a contemplated change in the route
of the North Pacific Coast Narrow
Guage Railroad running from Saucel
ito to Duncan's Mill. We can now
report facts showing that it was not
idle railmad talk, but has a real foun
dation. Mr. Buchanan, the engineer
of tho road, with a full force of hands,
has been for several days surveying a
route for that read from Clark's Sum
mit, near Bloomfield, via Tabor's
Summit in Blucher Yalley, and
through Grepn Valley to Sebastopol.
The road will then be continued
northorly through Sonoma, Mendo
cino and Humboldt counties, parsing
through the redwood belt and con
necting near tho state lino with the
Oregon Narrow-Gaugo Railroad, thus
making a continuous lino of coast rail
road from San Fraucisco bay to the
Columbia river.
