Application was made to the com mon council at its last regular meet ing for a franchise for a motor line from the western limit of the city, cast along Second street to AVest Ninth street; thence south on West Ninth street to Cedar street, and thence cast on Cedar street to West Seventh street. Tho parties applying for this fran chise agree, that if the right be given of the line from the western limits' of i them, they will construct that portion 'JSis''''PoT Anyt'hing in Ladies' and Gents' Fine Weai , r,tt- n D nav ct-roaf lr- ittn f.re 7 I the ordinance granting them tho right; I that thev will eotiin andmaintain laid i road with the most improved styles of motors and cars It is the intention of the promotors of this line, provided the right to enter the city can be ob taiueJ, to build a first class road in all respects; standard guage first clas3 new steel rails of thirty 11)3. weight to the yard, to extend it around Smith's point, and along the shore or Young's Bay, along the south slopes of the peninsula; so as to accommodate persons desiring lo live there, and to complete at least three miles of said road, by May 1st, pro vided material can be obtained and the weather such as to permit of the necessarv grading being done. This is an important enterprise for the city and Miould be encouraged. The more street car, motor and cable lines. hotels, business houses and factories. we build, the better for the citv. The building of these kind of enterprises has built up Spokane i alls Seattle. Tacoma, and other enterprising and thriving cities on the Pacific coa3t and will do the same for Astoria. HE GURGLES WITH DEMGH7. Now Stylw in Pros GooiN That Plrwxf a Wot era Society Editor. We noticed from ont Eastern ex changes that some of the iopu!ar shades in dress goods this winter are described as "dragon's blood,' "elephant's breath,'' and pale pink called '"stifled sighs.' We just gurgled with delight when we heard this, because all these col ors are so unique. We were real glad with a regular Pan-America gladness for the dear girls, for a yirl loves to be unique, don't you know, even if she has to wear it uuder her wrapper. A girl dressed in elephant's breath, hung in graccrnl folds and looped up and fastened at tho corners' with stifled sighs, with a corsage of old gold, slashed with dragon'o gore, would lc just loo lovely for anything. Wc have been sighing for just such a girl for years, but our sigh had hardly slille enough iu it to match the new color. We have sent for a remnant of a stilled sigh lo make a necklio of it. It appears to us that elephant's breath would, be rather strong for real com fort in the summer time, especially if the elephant was inclined to be dissi pated. We are induced to make these harsh remarks by observing that men who go around all night and see Use ele phant have a breath on Ihcm in the moniing that they can hang their hats on, and have enough left to btart the fire with. Bragon's blood should only be worn in spols, a la polka dot, as it were, and should never be worn without being well sprinkled with ashes of rose3 to tone il down. In ihe. abseucc of roses, wood ashes or cigar ashes would answer as well. But there is a fullness and a pathos about the stifled sigh which will make it rank favorite the moment society corrals it. It is so delicate, and yet so far-reaching. A sigh at any time is a dear thing to look at, but when it is stilled and worn full m tho back, with box pleating down the sides and caught up with silver buckles into a double einche about the waist, it is simply a dream. -Lassen Advocate. 2TO XONGEK A THrillOn. 3Iotlcm Trcstsijct that Cursa ConsUpalion.
