ASTORIA, OREGON:
TUESDAY..!?........ Z. MAY 31. 1887
It is said that there are lots
enough staked out in southern
California to provide for the entire
population of the city of New
York apportioned at the rate of
three persons to the lot. It would
take more than the combined cap
ital of all the banks of New York
to buy up' these lots. They have
a story down there about lumber,
which illustrates the craze. It is
said that a gentleman went to
a lumber dealer, and desired
enough lumber to build a house.
He was looked upon with compas
sion by the dealer, who said to
him that there was no lumber for
sale. When he asked for an ex
planation, the dealer replied to him
as if he had compassion for his ig
norance, that "the lumber was all
sold for stakes for town lots."

Famous "Women.
Madame Trebelli, the greatest of
living contraltos who has traveled
extensively, in fact visited every
county and city of note in the world,
has just departed from the slope of
the Pacific, and often expressing the
greatest admiration for the beauty
and grandeur of our scenery and the
delightful mildness of our olimate,
left the following written note as a
living expression of her opinion in
the hands of a Portland druggist, the
original of which can be seen on de
mand. Poetland, Or., April 6, 1887.
Dear Mr. Wisdem: J have tried vonr
"Robertine," and it Rives mo much
pleasure to say that it is excellent for
the complexion, being one of the best
articles of the kind I nave ov6r used. Be
lieve me, yours sincerely,
2. Thebelij.
If any further proof of the excel
lency of this article is required call on
Messrs. "W. E. Dement & Co. of Asto
ria, Or., who, for the small snm of
fifty cents, will produce evidence that
will satisfy the most skeptioal and
fastidious and give you a beautiful
picture card for the trouble of en
quiring. Death of Dr, O'Brien.
Dr. John O'Brien, an old and well
known resident of this- oity, died at
six o'clock yesterday morning at St
Mary's hospital, at which place he
had been ill for some time. The
canse'of his death is stated to have
been paralysis. Deceased was a na
tive of. Ireland, and was 57 years old.
The funeral will be from St Mary's
hospital at half past three, this after
noon. The interment will be at Olat
sop cemetery.
Their Business Booming.
Probably no one thing has caused
such a general revival of trade at W. E.
Dement & Co.'s Drug Store as their giv
ing away to their customers of so many
free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption. Their trade
is simply enormous in this very valu
able article from the fact that it always
cures and never disappoints. Coughs.
Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, and
all throat and lung diseases quickly
cured. You can test it before buying
by getting a trial bottle free, large
size Si. Every bottle warranted.

Jeff of the U. S. gives you a meal for
nothing and a glass of something to
drink? Not much; but he gives the
beat meal and more of it than any other
lestaurant in town. 23 cents.
