the plates and the ceiling Is so high as
to leave an ugly blank space above the
doorway an excellent idea is to build
a narrow shelf over the Intel and

course, be stained to match the wood

rene and well-poiSed
Southern girls are coquettes. They
are not easily won. A bird on a
bough is not more elusive and capri
cious than southern maid. But
once she has given her troth and sur
rendered her whole being to the man
she loves, she lives for him alone.
The southern matron does not cease
to be charming and gracious, she
loses no jot of her bewitching person
atty, but after marriage she never
condescends to vulgar arts of fiirta-
ton or disputes the field with unmar-
ried girls. She leaves to those who
are still minated the pleasures and
the pains, the excitements and the
laurels that belong to the province
of winsome girlhood. 1t is enough
for her to be the central influence
in her home, and the coronation of her
husbands life. She is born house
keeper, Notwithstanding an impress
sion that she never puts her hand
to anything in the way of work. Her
southern mother has early delegated
to her certain cares and responsible
ties. She has known since child
hood some secrets of delicate cook
ing, some peculiar traditional family
recipes and is mistress of the fine
art of catering and of presiding at a
table while yet she is in her teens.
When the babies come the southern
woman finds her chief JOY in her
nursery. She may have the help of
others there, but it is her hand that
guides the little ones, and her love
that enfolds them in the first years,
making sure for life the beginnings
of good habits. One often sees a
transformation that is almost a mira
Gle when the gayest of southern girls
one who spent her days in an atmos-
phere of brilliant display, settles
down in absolute tranquility to the
oversight of her children and her
home.
From first to last, our southern sis.
ter is thing of bewitching contrasts,
womanly to her finger tips, pure, con
scientious, exacting, sweet, naughty

A LIGHTNING SCHEDULE.
Fifty Minutes From Astoria to Portland
According to Handbook For July.

No one ever doubted that the Astoria
& Columbia River Railroad trains made
the best time possible between the ter
minal cities that grace each end Of it,
but no one ever knew just how swift
these trains were, until the July issue of
the Travellers Protective Associations
handbook came TO hand.
According to this reliable source Of in
formation, there is train leaving out Of
this city at o'clock in the evening and
billed to arrive in the metropolis just
so minutes later; the lightning trick
being done between Mayer and Rainier,
which ten miles are covered in exactly
no minutes at all. II anyone disbelieves
this, they are respectfully referred to

motion was lost however, Kabotn object

ed for final action until next meeting.
Another ordinance giving the city power
to lease the new steam roller to private
contractors was read the first and second
times, and Hansen moved a suspension
of the rules and vote on the passage
of the bill. This motion like the other
was downed by Kaboth. There have
been intimations that the ordering of the
steam roller was ill.advised, and the
price exorbitant, but it is not considered
likely that the council will refuse to
stand by the street committee and not
authorize its purchase.
Bids or the repair work necessary on
the Tenth street engine house and fire
bell tower, were received and the mat
ter referred to the city surveyor to
investigate and report his estimate OF
the work actually necessary.
The COMMITTEES on street recommended
that the bid Of w. A. Goodin Of S64l9.50
for the Grand avenue improvement, be
accepted, and that in the Eleventh-street
improvement, the bid of Dill and Young
for $l785 be accepted. Both these bids
we're below the surveyors estimates.
The recommendations were adopted and
resolutions to this effect were later in.
troduced and adopted.
The treasurer's quarterly report was
submitted and referred to the committee
on ways and means.
Plans and specifications for the Four
teenth street, Eighth street, Niagara
avenue, and Kensington avenue, improve
ments were submitted and ordered filed.
The following ordinances for street
improvements were read the first and
second times and passed on suspension
on the rules:
Fourteenth street, between Franklin
and Grand; Eighth street between Lex
ington and Niagara; Kensington between
Eighth and Eleventh, and Niagara be-.
tween Eighth and Seventh.
An ordinance appropriating money for
building a drain on Melbourne avenue
was read the second time.

Canine Controversy Produces a
Lively Agreement.
MAYOR READS TWO MESSAGES
Calls Councils Attention TO the Great
Danger of Oil Tanks and Dis
cusses the City's financial
Condition.

The closing hour of the councifs ses'
sion last night was devoted to an at
tempt to solve the problem of finding d
suitable location for the dog pound, and
though the matter was finally brought
to head by authorizing the COMMITTEES
on health and police to expend not over
$40 in finding and repairing place to
keep estayed and unlicensed animals,
the question is by no means settled to
the satisfaction Of majority of the
council.
The matter was brought up by Robin
son. who stated that he was in a
quandry about finding a place to i'm
pound dogs, eats, ct al, but thought
he had found a suitable location near
the city hall. The site selected, he in.
formed the council, was just the place,
except that some minor repairs were
needed to the building.
Robinson's speech aroused storm of
protest from Auditor Anderson. who was
opposed to having the pound located so
near the city hall, with the consequent
noise attached thereto. Others present
voiced the same opinion. The fact that
Chief OF Police Gammel had ousted the
former dog-catcher yesterday from his
position and named J. H. 0'Neil his
successor, seemed to be the prime factor
in causing the argument, for il was as
serted that 0'Neil meant business and
that from now on, all luckless quadri-
peds would be run in if not properly
licensed.
The majority opinion is undoubtedly
in favor of the City Attorneys sugges-
tion that the city purchase property. in
some part of town, where barn. and
suitable accommodations can be placed
for the animals impounded, and also be
used for storing property belonging to
the city.
After the reading of the minutes of
the last meeting had been read the
Mayor submitted two communications,
one relative to the danger from oil
tanks, and another on the city's expsn-
ditures for the past six months.
The former was referred to the COM
mittee on ways and means and the city
attorney, and the latter to the COM
mittee on ways and means. The text of
the respective articles will be found in
another part of this Mornings Astorian.
Liquor licenses were granted to Jack
Anderson and Charles Wise.
A petition was received from the
Astoria Progressive Association asking
for the use OF the council chambers on
the second and fourth Wednesdays of
each month in which to hold their meet
ings, and in case the rooms were in use
the police court ROOM. The desired per-
mission was granted.
The offer of Alfred Kinney to donate
a strip of and for an alley way between
Exchange street and Franklin avenue,
was referred to the street committee.
