Probably no other county clerk's office in the United States in a county of equal population, furnishes so many original declarations of intention to become citizens as the Clatsop connty clerk's office loes. State superintendent of schools, E. B. McElroy is now busy, says the Or egonian, sending out the fall supply of goods to the -county superintend ents.

Ts:kHifqiS::ten:'','ent9t- at the GentrarBstauranfc Tfee Freliabury Survey for a Line of Hailroad to Join the Two Cities. The preliminary survey will be com menced next week by Mr. John Hul Kurty the well known railroad en gineer for a railroad from Portland to Astoria, says the St Helens Mist. Mr. Hulburt has instructions to examine all the feasible routes, and recommend the best one found. He will accord ingly make a survey of the three routes through this ceunty: The one running west from Portland and across the divide to the Nehalem, would follow that river down to a point where a route can be had to As toria. The oLher two routes would both leave Portland and follow down the Willamette river and slough to Scap poose, where one route would be by way of the foot hills to Milton creek, and up that stream to the Clatskanie, and down that stream to the Colum bia at Westport, where the Columbia would be followed to, Astoria. The other route from- Scappoose would follow down the river to Goble creek; and up that stream a short distance, and across to the Beaver; thence down that creek to near the town of Clat skanie, where it would pass through a low divide to the Clatskanie, and down that stream by way of Marsh land and "Westport to Astoria. Which route will bo the one he will choose is unknown, but it is probable that the Clatskanie or Beaver route will fill the requirements nearer than any other, as this company does not wish to parallel the Columbia all tho way, or another railroad. The survey is being made for the Union Pacific Kail road company, and that means that the road wjll be built at no distant day. The building of this railroad through Columbia couuty will bring a boom of solid development to the county that will surprise the most sanguine boomer. Mr. Hurlburt, who will make the survoy, is one of the most ex perienced surveyors on the coast, and has been in the employ of the Union Pacifio and (X.B. & N. companies for over twenty years, and has been con nected with most of the Union Pacific surveys made throughout Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and the other ter ritories, and made the survey for Hol- laday for his railroad to Astoria through the Nehalem in 1871. He is thoroughly familiar with the topogra phy of the country to be passed through, and will find a route if one i3 to be had. TALKS RIGHT OUT. And Says What Everybody Knows Is So. When Astoria gets a Union Pacific line from Portland to Astoria she will give this city a hard rub as a port, and everVweH-infornaed Portlauder knows it. This accounts m part, if not m whole, for the effort being put forth by opposition roads now centering here, personal influence and the weight of capital to induce the Union Pacific to make some lesser point for a ter minal along the Columbia. We are all more or less selfish, but when busi ness interests are at stake, involving the detraction or millions annually, the aggregate selfishness of the whole amounts to gross hoggishness. It is the old spirit of "rule or ruin." One city, even though it be on a hill, can not make a state. Instead of under handed rivalry and one pull against the other, The Journal would rather see it, "all pull together" not to make Portland, Astoria or any other partic ular town or city, but the great state of Oregon. Portland Journal, 2'.i. A Land Locator In Trouble Stephen A. DePuter has been ar rested upon complaint of John W. Phalou, who charges him with the larceuyof S30.

Call at Charley, Olsen's, opposite C. H. Cooper's. He will suifyoiu A fine stock of cigars to select from. . cuiirei tst firPittfliBP1 s Castorii What Great Things He'd Do If He Didn't. Several years ago, when the writer was younger than he is now, and knew more, his attention used to be directed at various times to the fantastic vagaries of fellow-citi zens who had been drinking other people s health, until their own had become temporarily disturbed. "Do you see that man?" would be asked. "He's the finest blacksmith on the coast. You ought to see him shoe a horse. It's a pity he drinks." "Just look at so-and-so 1 He's got his load. My God, what a speech that man can make. He could be anything, if he'd just leave whisky alone. It's a pity he drinks." Another time it would be: "Have you seen to-day? He was on a regular toot last night. Its a con demned shame, that .man's friends can't keep him straight There isn't a better doctor in thetate, when he's himself. It's apihe'drinks." "Where's Blank to-day? haven't seen him: got 'em again, I hear. Well, well, that man when sober can beat anyone on the coast writing an article. Great Csesar!-how he can throw him self: but he's burning his brains up. It's a pity he drinks." "Do you 'see that chap just ahead of us? Well, sir, as a book keeper and first-class accountant, there isn't his cquaL He's tho boss on figures and accounts if he'd only stay sober. It's a pity he drinks." On another occasion a bevy of jovial inebriates would be iointed out to him, each and several alleged to bo bright particular stars in some pursuit; from conveying dismembered intestines to Bruin, up to guiding the ship of stale if they only didn't drink. It seemed to him as though ho was surrounded by a glittering galaxy of talent in every walk and branch of life; and that nothing but enforced so briety was necessary to produce prod igies, intellectual and otherwise. Finally, impressed with this idea, he became the guide and guardian angel of the brightest of the lot. sobered him, kept him sober, and humored him but there was nothing in the fellow. drunk or sober. Another was experi mented on with like result, and an other, till it appeared that the general verdict was a mistaken one, and that it was not a condition, but a theory tnat confronted us. Later years have con firmed the ex perience. It is so easy to establish a supposed reputation for general smart ness, on the gratuitous supposition of what a man could do if he didn't drink. He may be the most mediocre of mortals; he may not have sense enough to go in when it rains; but, with a oertain class all he has to do is to put an enemy in his mouth to steal .away his modicum of brains and straightway it is said and sung what a transcendent genius he would be if he didn't drink. The pitiful part of it is that after a while he gets to believing it himself; he thinks, naturally, that what everybody says must be true, and then becomes one of those "un appreciated" people; he joins the army of those who feel they "haven't been treated right;" he imagines that "peo ple are down on him," and thinks iu his maudlin way, that if he only had a show he'd be away up among the good players. It's oftener a mistake than a truth. But not always so. Time and again brilliant brains, skillful fingers, bright minds, have been benumbed by alcohol and the best gifts of nature have been lavishly destroyed by intemperance. Of such a man, it can, with S3d truth, be said, in all regretful sincerity that it is in deed, "a pity he drinks." But the common, ordinary bummer, who never gave evidence of any abili ty doesen't deserve to have it said of him that "it is a' pity he drinks," for any apparent reason that the world is missing anything by his not drink ing. He U real! ahead, for simply by be ing lush three-fourths of the time he secures a reputation for smartness that he could not- sustain nor continue to have, if he staid sober long enough to do any of those smart things he is credited with being able to do. - PERSONAL MENTION.

Selton arrived here yesterday from Coos bay. He saw the wreck of the Fearless at the mouth of theUmpqua, Thursday afternoon. The action of the inspector of hulls in allowing the tug to go to sea is very generally con demned by the people of Gardiner and vicinity, as the fact that she was not seaworthy was notorious. The in spector had forbidden her to go to sea, but afterward- countermanded the order, and thus caused tho death of at least nine persons. One-half of the hull is lying iuthe mud half a mile below Gardiner, while the stern, with the name on it, floated half a mile above. It is the general impression that the tug sprung a leak and Cap tain Hill was endeavoring to get to TJmpqua for safety, as he had no other business there and was within twenty miles of her destination, Coos bay. Captain Hill was in command of a tug named the Fearless which was wreoked at the mouth of C003 bay some eighteen years ago and saved the lives of his crew by tying a lino around his waist and swimming ashore with it. t -.
