Cook, charged with keeping open a house for tho purpose of smoking opium, the defendant was dismissed. AtDEUBEOOE Pnorcirrv. The sale of Alderbrook property at E. C. Holden's this afternoon is deserving of more than passing notice. Situated as Astoria is. it is the natural desire of the frugal and thrifty, and saving, to invest their earn ings in a manner that will bring them as Rured benefit. To anyone who has a lit tle money to spare, tho sale this after noon affords a most desirable opioriuu ity. The constantly increasing growth of tho city, the new enterprises in con templation, determines a purchase of real estate ol the naturo offered as a good investment. Wood Business. Tho increasing pop ulation of Astoria occasions increasing demands in every lino of trade. In no way is this more apparent than in the augmentation of tho wood business. This season, it is estimated, that there are 300 men engaged in the business of supplying wood to Astoria. It consists principally of spruce limbs, vine maple, alder and fir, and comes in scows from Gray's River, Deep River, Lewis and Clarke's, Knappa and elsewhere, princi pally from the "Washington Territory Hide". It is a hard life, and the men en gaged in it well earn what they make at it. New Couktt Seat. Word comes that tho bill has passed the Washington Ter ritory legislature transferring the county seat of "Wahkiakum from Cathlaraet to Skamokawa. This will bo a big benefit to our Wahkiakum county neighbors. The greater part of tho population of that county will find it much more con venient to go to Skamokawa than the present county seat to transact their business. Information is also furnished that Mucklo Bros.? of St. Helens have bought the mill site just below Monl- fomery's mill at Skamokawa, paying 1,000 therefor, and they intend putting up a saw mill "next season. Lots are al ready Belling for 100 apiece in the neigh borhood. A Mkmted Compliment. Capt. Pal mer of the ship IJalaJclara, reports to the Commercial Herald that ono of his sailors named Robert Ray, while lying at ABtoria, was taken ill and was removed to St. Mary's hospital, where he shortly after died, owing to the serious nature of his illness. Tho captain says the hos pital is one of the finest he has seen for years; that one might travel for thou sands of miles and not find one so com plete in all its departments, so carefully and satisfactorily kept, and so pleasant for patients. He speaks highly of the sisters who have charge of it, and states that charges are very reasonable, and that it is a pity ship masters are not gen erally awaro of tho many excellencies of the Astoria hospital. A Portland Justice Court. Rumors were afloat yesterday to the effect that an-encounter had taken place on Saturday out at Keegan's court, coin munly known as the "Court of Death," in which Aleck and Jack Keegan engaged in a life-or-death strugglo, and the judge came out first best. Inquiry failed to develop the minutta? of the struggle, but sufficient information was gained to war rant public mention of the fact, to show how a certain ono of the justices' courts is now run in this city and by what class oi dispensers. Aleck and Jack have been at swords' points for a week past, and on Saturdav the culmination of their ill-feeling was reached in a personal encounter m the saioon aajoimng tno vnounai ot justice. It was nip and tuck for a while, both be ing powerful men and evenly matched as to size and strength, bnt tho judge find ing his wind about to fail him and a fair prospect of Jack's mopping the walk with his legal carcass, whipped out si knife and inflicted upon his victorious brother three or four stabs, that sent him to grass, and may cost hini his life. Jack was immediately conveyed to his room and a physician summoned, who sewed up his wounds and carefully attended him during the entire day. "Strenuous efforts have been made to suppress the transaction, out without avail. Aora. Attention.

DEEP RITEIt DISTRICT. From An Occasional Reporter. Esrros Astosus: Deep riverisa tributary to the Columbia and from Stark's point to Shaw's ranch all tho vessels in existence could find a snug and safe refuge on its deep, tran quil ana piaciu waters. The present banishes the past so quick ly on this golden Pacific slope that to the younger Generation of to-davit al ready seems n very dreamy and distant ceroic past. There are aboutfortv families of Rus sian Finns located in the Deep river, Salmon creek and tributary country. They are industrious and encrsretic and just tho right class of settlera for a new country as they can grow rich and get fat on trout, salmon, ducks of all kinds, pheasants and the fat of tho land. Messrs. Shaw, Suis, Periiia and Davis assisted by Shaw Jr., and Louis Hcrsey, are doing all thoy can do to promote edu cation in the district. They have three good school houses. It would bo desirable to keen these schools open as long as possible. With the limited means derivable from the school fund it is impossible for tho di rectors to do justice to the children unless they solicit outside aid. 'I'l.. r 41. f 1 1 i . -nit: ttuLiiic ui tut; uvjuic nm i laj supplemented by another larger whistle of a steamer about to be launched from the establishment of Mr. Jenkins. The owner of the Coyote will bo the owner of this larger steamer, which will do much to develop the hidden and untold resour ces of this new section of country. Ev ery new industry and enterprise 'should be encouraged. To new and intending settlers no field offers such inducements as this section of country. Thousands upon thousands of acres of land await here the advent ot tho fortunate settler who wishes to create a home. This might well be termed the ''Poor Man's Para dise.' The new settler on tho lookout for a home may rest assured of one thing that he will be aided and not fleeced in his endeavors to make a home in this section of country. In a few years from now thousands of dollars will lio given for land that can now be had for the mere filing. With good landings and good roads in the near future Deep River will bo known all over the Pacific slope. In my opinion coal and oil mines of untold wcafth are awaiting tho aid of capital and conse quent development. A great future awaits this district. Stark has a bonanza in his "Point" if he only works it as a summer resort for pleasure scokcrs and invalids. Anren. (Jirl Wanted. To do general housework in a small private family: no children.
