The county court has redistricted
the several road districts of the coun
ty. The boundaries of the new road
districts as set by tho court, are on
the lourth page of this issue. It will
be noticed that district No. 7 is some
what extensive. It comprises what
was formerly districts 5, 8, 10 and 15.
It includes Astoria, Young's River,
Smith's Point and the country round
about to the southard and is about
as large as road districts usually get.
The action of the court was in accord
with a petition numerously signed
in and out of the city, and if the ex
periment works satisfactorily may bo

Tho Manzanita came in yesterday
from Tillamook rock with the repair
force which went out Borne time ago
to repair the havoc wrought by tho
storms of last December. Messrs.
Nathaniel Jones, A. E. Withers,
Frank Surprenant, Myers, Johns and
others were among the arrivals and
they were not sorry to strike the terra
planka of Astoria once more. It was
all right while the work was going on,
but when they had finished up, which
they did about ten days ago, it wasn't
much fun for eight or ten able bodied
men to sit up in the lighthouse tower
when the storm rack came rolling up
ragged and brown and the harbor
bar was moaning. Some sang, others
prayed, others played solitairo and
told tales of former times; others
read, and a few fished, a watch being
set to look for deliverance in tho
guise of tho Manzanita. Nat. Jones
brought b3ck some fine mussels, and
all of them have a fund of experience
that would be big capital for the
writer of a marine novel.
The Face.
The care of the complexion has be
come an accomplishment that no lady
of refined tastes can afford to ignore,
and in leading society circles it claims
as much thought as do the fashions.
It is an acknowledged fact that the
variations of our climate aro verv se
vere on the complexion, noticeable by-
a ronghness and dryness of the skin,
and to counteract this effect it be
comes necessary to call iu the aid of
art. In the selection of this agent
too much care cannot be exercised.
It is well known to the chemist that
many of the so-called "blooms,"
"balms," "creams," etc., contain lead
and other poisonous substances, the
long-continued use of which is dan
gerous. Wisdom's Bobertine is guar
anteed under a forfeiture of $1,000,
to be absolutely free from poisonous
substances. If you have not yet tried

What the "Bear" and "Corwm" Will !)..
"Washington, March 1. The de
termination of the secretary of the
treasury to protect the interests of
the government in the seal fisheries !
of Alaska waB promptly reinforced
by the committee on appropriations '
which has given him in tho pending
tieuciency oin szu.trw, so inai n can ;
be rendered immediately available
for the outfitting of the Hear and
Corwin. This amount, in addition
to the $10,000 given in the sundry
civil bill, will put those revenue ma
rine oruisers on a good footing for
the present season. These vessels will
be in Behrings sea several weeks in
advance o" tho sealing season, which
opens about the 14th of June. They
will act nnder the same orders that
governed them last year.
The chief of the reveuue marine
service says that if the rumored re
lease of the British sealing schoon
ers was true he would have
been promptly njtified of suoh
action. He has not been, however.
Tho treaty stipulation which gives
this couutry the sole jurisdiction of
our part of Behring'3 sea, is the su
preme law of the land, and it cannot
be set aside except by the joint agree
ment of tho senate and executive. In
the meantimo the laws of the govern
ment will continue to be carried out
in full, so far as its interests at stake
are concerned in Behring's sea.
The Bear will start up in advance
of the Corwin. She will stop at
Sitka and then at TJnchek, where a
trader was murdered last summer;
thence to Zodiak, and thence to
Penaloshka, whero she will coal up
for a new cruise about the seal islands.
The treasury department has built
a coalhonse at Penaloshka, where
this fuel is now stored for the use of
its cruisers. The Bearu will be com
manded by Captain Healey.

Free Trade.
The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no
doubt has largely benefited the consumers,-
as well as relieving the bur
den of home manufacturers. Especial
ly is this' the case with Green's
August Flower and Boschee's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of
thirty-sis cents per dozen, has been
added to increase the size of the bot
tles containing these remedies, there
by giving one-fifth more medicine in
the 75 cent size. The August Flower
for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung troubles, have perhaps,
the largest sale of any medicines in
the world. The advantage of in
creased size of the bottles will be
greatly appreciated by tho sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in
civilized countries. Sample bottles
for 10 cents remain the same size,
The Decision of The Court.
In the United States district court
in the case of the Alcalde, Gunderson
libellant, judgment was given s'ester
day for plaintiff in the Bum of $28 and
costs. Gunderson is a Washington
territory pilot, and met the Alcalde
outside the bar and offered to tow her
in. The captain refused the offer and
piloted his own vessel in. Gunder
son sued to recover halt pilotage un
der Washington territory laws. The
court held that Washington territory
had complete jurisdiction over the
Columbia river and its entrance. Or
egon's jurisdiction in the premises
was also complete over tho same wa
ters. The court held that the law of
Washington territory provided that
if a pilot offered his services and tho
captain refused the same and piloted
his own vessel in, that he could col
leot the half pilotage. If an Oregon
pilot offered his services under like
circumstances, then tho Oregon law
would govern the case. The defense
set up a plea that the Washington
territory pilots were not provided
with a proper pilot boat, as the law
directs. The court held that this did
not cut a figure in the case, as the
matter of providing a schooner was
simply a question between the pilots
and pilot commissioners of Washing
ton territory. News, 2.
