In case the present franchise is grant
ed the street railway company a num-
her of changes will be made in the line
of the road One Of the first will be to
abandon the present line from the cor
ner of Commercial and Eighteenth
streets to the Clatsop mills, and run
the line past the railroad depot. A
switch will be installed and two cars
will be there to meet every incoming
train. This will be an Improvement
over present conditions, as now the
cars are three blocks from the depot.
The company also proposes to abandon
the route from Schofield & Hauke's to
McGregor's mill, continuing the line
along Franklin avenue to the street
east of the Adalr school house instead.

SAYINGS OF THE SAGE.

A woman never forgives a man for
his kindness in bringing her husband
home drunk.
Probably the love of the angels for
men is as tender and sweet as the
love of an old maid for the new min
lister.
A man can't please all women part
OF the time or one woman al! of the
time, but he can always smile at all OF
their babies.
Selfishness probably never would
have existed if it weren't for lave. B,
A woman can afford to forgive her
husband for everything except marry
ing her.
a baby's smile is the sweetest thing
in the world: it is combination az
econtentment. idiocy and gums.
II men were as noble and heroic nc
their wives think they are there wo,ld
be SO many monuments around that
