The OriNt'Milan says that articles of In corporation of the Portland and Nehalem railroad mere filed in the county clerk's omce at Portland yesterday. The capital stock Is ll'.l. and the Incorporator are R. V. Pratt. J. Thornburn Ross, and K. A. Wlnstanley. The object are to con struct and operate a railroad and tele graph line from a point on the Nehalem river near the boundary line between Washington and Columbia counties, thence to the city of Portland by some route to be hereafter selected. Martin Foard and Gu Hlldebrand have returned from a trip through the Nehalem valley. They left here a week ago, going by way of Clatskanle and traveled down through the county as far a the north fork at the Nehalem. One of the most remarkable features of their visit, they state, is the contrast in the county road of Columbia and Clatsop counties. When ever the dividing line of the two countle was approached, the superior roads ot that county were In str king contrast to those of Clatsop county. On the north fork of the Nehalem, where the settle ment Is entirely compose.! of Russian Finns, the people, they state, are poor, but supremely happly. most disgruntled people being the substantial farmers, who are anxious for better rood facilities. Many of those are In favor of a portable sawmill to Improve the county roads.

Alfred tUbbon-, one of the lot known men 4 th'a ecuon of Oregon, and for merly assessor of Clatsop county, dropped dead at hi home on aJrn1 avenue Sun day evening from heart failure. Mr vllb bona had Just entered his room when he fell to the floor, striking heavily. l'hyl clans were immediately enl for, but th IJ gentleman ha.l passed wa,v before they could reach th house. The news of hi death came a A sur- pr!o to hi many friends, a b had been around town all afternoon, and seeming ly waa la good health. About o'clofV: n left the office of ttjo Aatorlan and walked rapidly to hl home, and it I supposed th exertion brought on heart failure. While al the offle he conversed for over an hour with several of the employe of the paper, but made no complaint that he felt III. IVeeased wa one ot the finest account ant on the Pacllto coast. He cam origi nally from New York, of an old family, and wa highly educated. When a young man he came to San Francisco, In which City he associated with many Influential men. Ho always commanded a large salary, and It 1 aid of Mm ho lived up to his Income, lie wa one of the most popular young men In the Hay city, and for several year was prominently Identi fied with the Bohemian Hub. About IS years ago he came to Astoria, and had since resided here. He had a ran. h near tho Walluskl. on which he spent consider able of h.s time. In 1 he wa elected assessor of this county, holding office two terms. Since then ho ha been employed a accountant, for several local llrnis. and for the past six months had been book keeper on the Astorlan. IVsplte his .w he was remarkably accurate, and mud dled accounts, which other experts had given up In despair, were eas ly straight ened out by him. He was about W ye.ir of age, and unmarried. So far as 1 known ho had no relatives In tbW pari of the country. CAN BY I N PK PEN V il NT 13 SET RKJUT UN ASTORIA. Nobody Oppose an Open River.
