The New Franchise Ordi-

Second Time, Alderman
Brown Moving That They
Go Over, as He Desires to
Amend.

The Women'S Christian Temperance
Union desires a curfew law for boys
of Pensacola under the age of Is
years, and believes that if such law
is made by the council that it
will be of vast benefit to the boys
now growing UP III Pensacola, many
of whom now remain upon the streets
until a late hour, instead of being in
their homes. A request that such an
ordinance be passed was received by
the city council at its semi-monthly
meeting last night, coming from the
union of Pensacola, and the reason
assigned, among others, is that if a
10 o'clock curfew law is good for men
under present conditions that an 8
o'clock law would be exceptionally
good for boys under Is years at all
times.

motion to have the second reading

he desired to amend these ordinances,
but had been unable to obtain the
necessary information. and therefOrs
moved to defer the second reading.

walked to the shopping districts, or

patronage yesterday than the day
prior. The crowds upon the streets

ed lesson they will not soon for

Astoria is no place TO cast aspers-
ions upon, in a commercial sense: she
trades heavily with the wholesalers
and pays her bills; this is the limit Of
comment and conjecture, from busi-
ness standpoint; outside that issue,
her shortcomings and long goings
are purely local concerns and not
amenable to reckless and semipublic
gossip at the hands of those who
profit by her trade This is a good
town, busy town, and progresses
with the exact ratio OF her oppor-
tunity; she has welcome for every
body, even those who are foolish
enough to disparage her; she is sound
financially and making distinct and
creditable headway, year by year,
along all avenues OF development, and
has fewer commercial failures than
any city on the coast.

UNCLE SAM SAYS 1T.

Your Uncle Samuel says, through
his trained and expert agents, thai
there is a channel across the Colum,
bia river bar 5000 feet wide and 25.;
feet deep at mean low water. This
means that at high water on that
barrier, there will be from 31a feet to
34i feet, according to the make Of the
tide, over a mile in width, for the
reception and despatch of the fleets
of the world.
There are men in the Columbia
River Bar Pilots Association, who
affirm that they cannot find that
water. nor anything approaching it;
some 60 so far as to say fatty there
is no such water on the bar" And
there you are. 1t is the same old
story, told and re-told, year by year;
but the progress OF the jetty, and the
word of the Government must hold,
because the are the guages OF popular

much to be disbelieved; therefore,
with all the world-marine, we will
cling to the mathematical fact Uncle
Sam has given out, and trust to luck
and the skilled pilots OF the bar to
find the mile-wide channel and the
new commercial depths. 1t is essen
tial that they be fonud and used, for
the good OF the Columbia valley and
especially this end of it. Every addi-
tional foot OF channel-way-water
across that bar has wonderful sig
nihcance for Astoria, whatever it may
mean to the hardy and well-informed
men who cannot find it.
We cannot tell either the govern
ment nor the pilots their business in
this grave relation, but we can tell
them both and all, that the truth is
what the people want; and the old,
old divergency between these two
authorities simple MUST be settled,
wherever the discredit shall fall.

in heavy machinery, but in the minor

THE COAST ELECTRIC.

The Morning Astorian insists that
it must not be charged with any dis
position to knock the Astoria, Til
lamook & Seacoast Electric Railway,
or any other laudable project, the oil
and-gas proposition, the seawall, good
roads, "common-point" rates, a 35-
footbar, nor anything else that means
success and prosperity. Each and
every one of these things are vital
to the real and early development OF
the city and county and the entire
section around the mouth of the
Columbia.
But Astoria has had her fill OF
failures, and she wants her new pro-
jects to be launched upon safe and
equitable lines. She has given up
good money, from time immemorial,
only to see it transmitted into assets
that injured to Portland or some
other place, and the story is too old
for any re-telling. This is the reason
the Morning Astorian is becoming
hyper-critical, and the attitude is
taken at the behest of genuine PUB
Lie SENTIMENT.
We want the electric line to the
coast and Tillamook as much as those
who are in the lead, the promoters,
want it, and we will do all in Our
power to secure it, urge it, commend
it and prize it; but the experience Of
the past, along this same route, is
warrant for our insistance that the
matter shall be prosecuted on the
best and safest basis; given that,
there will be no earping nor question
ing, but only goodwill and all the
aid we can render 1t is too good a
venture to be lost for the want of a
word Of caution.

The new instantaneous electric
water heater removes all danger or
possibility of fatal effects from suffo-
cation in small bath rooms. During
the summer months when gas heat
ers are commonly used to heat the
water for the bath there is always
danger of suffocation if the room be
small and closed tightly, as the fame
exhausts the oxygen in the air. A
number of deaths occur annually in
this way. But the electric heater
does not vitiate the air and is not at
all dangerous.

This makes gain of 485 new electric

dent that the gain during the past
