The CONTRACT SIGNED.
An Important and Favorable Event for
Astoria.

That contract about which THE As
ToRIAN has had so much to say for the
past week was signed yesterday.
The Historian congratulates its
readers upon the fact. 1t is a good
thing for all, and will be of great and
immediate value.
The contract, for contract" Is all
it is, gives the construction company a
contract to build from the western ter
minus of the Astoria and South Coast
railroad, standard gauge railroad to
suitable connection in Washington OF
Yamhill county, the company to have
issued to it $4,000 in first mortgage
bonds, and $4,000 in stock per mile,
as fast as the road is completed and
accepted.
The control of things generally re-
mains in the hands of the directors of
the Astoria and South Coast road.
It is just contract, the same as any
contract would be to grade or furnish
ties or iron.
That's the whole thing in a nut
shell.
For the last week The Historian
has been criticised by q few old wo-
men Of both sexes for giving the news,
something it invariably does, and
never gets left.
However much its Judgment or its
motives may be questioned, no one
can deny or impugn the accuracy of
its information.
"Who did you get your informa-
ton from?"
From the highest and most unques-
tionsble authority. No director, no
officer Of the company has furnished
it. Each one kept his promise of Sc
crecy.
Yet If TIE Historian desired it
could, this morning publish, every
salient bit of the contract.
The above, however, is the most i'm
portant part Of it.
The board Of directors and the
officers did just right in Withholding
the information; we would have done
the same thing in their places.
But long ago the people learned to
look to The Historian Tor news of
what's going on, and they have never
been disappointed, This has been
going on, and the people have been
posted.
That's what news paper is for.
In the meantime, don't withdraw
your property from the market, too
hold it too high. A thing is worth
what it will fetch, and it will be poor
policy TO Withdraw DrOperty in homes
Of having it go to very high figure.

A Scrap Of Paper Saves HerLiGc

1t was just an ordinary scrap of wrap
ping paper, but it saved her life. She
was in the last stages of consumption,
told by physicians that she was incura-
BILE and could live only a short time ::
she weighed les than seventy pounds,
On piece of wrapping paper she read
of DIR. Kings New Discovery, and got a
sample bottle; it helped her, she bought
a larger bottle, it helped her more,
bought another and grew better fast,
continued its use and is now strong,
healthy, rosy, plump, weighing l4O
pounds. For fuller particulars send
stamp to W. II. Cole, Druggist, Fort
Smith. Trial Bottles of this wonderful
Discovery Free at j. W. Conn's Drug
store.

1, J. Charles Pollock, being first
duly sworn, say that I was one of a
company Of eight, who went into the
Nehalem country to take up timber
land under the direction of Mr.. De
Wolf. The locator's name was Parker.
We arrived in the Nehalem Friday
forenoon, the 7th Of June, and in the
afternoon I and a man named Watson
were taken to what was alleged to be
the northwest and southwest quarters
Of section IA, township s north, range
6 west. He did not take us to the
separate forties Of the quarters, as re-
quired by law. We were told that
this land was unoccupied, but when
we arrived it Oregon City, DeWolf,
who had gone ahead of us, met us
and informed us that the land had all
been taken up. It appeard singular
to us that six men should be taken
into this country with which the
timber locators pretend to be so
familiar, and located upon land that
had already been filed upon.

The county court of Columbia coun-
ty, has let the contract for the con-
struction of three bridges, one across
Rock creek and two across the Ne
halem river. This action Of the court
says the Mist has created considerable
dissatisfaction in the Nehalem coun-
try, as the Nehalemites claim that the
money should have been expended
upon roads instead of upon bridges,
according to the act of the legisla-
ture.

The death of young soldier OF the
Sixteenth Dragons from wounds re-
ceiyed in duel has led to a lively dis
cussiOn in the French papers on the
practice of dueling in the army. On
this subject the PscH PdrISien has an
interesting article. In some regiments,
it appears, duels are rare, owing to
the firmneSs of the colonies, but in
others affairs of honor are a matter of
daily occurrence. In the cavalry reg
iments especially this practice Hour
ishes. When two soldiers have a dis
pute, so long as they do not come to
blows, they need not fight unless they
wish to; but box settles the matter,
and, whether they like il or not, they
must meet sword in hand the next
morning in the riding school. The
captain, often without consulting the
parties interested. asks permission
from the colonel for the rencOntre, and
the latter nine times out of ten grants
it. Nothing then can prevent the duel.
The adversaries may be only too glad
to be reconciled, but it is all TO no
purpose; fight they must. The fenc-
ING master is notified He has the sa-
bers sharpened. Then each unlucky
soldier spends the evening in the sale
d'armes. where he receives counsel
and advice from the prevots, each one
of whom has an infallible secret stroke

week. except the Introduction or DIS

statutes will be the most important
during the session. There has been
great diversity of opinion as TO the pesI

Once More.

Once more the English Government
is conducting a little war against
handful oil Irish tenantry in the inter-
est of too eXacting landlords. There
could be no sadder spectacle. The use
of English soldiers in Ireland to eject
tenants for the non-payment of ex-
orbitant rents is a sight to be wit
messed in no other civilized country in
the world and is itself proof of British
misgo But even this dis
graceful tyranny is outmatched by a
more remarkab BILE eXhibition-govern-
ment aid in the wicked attempt of a
London newspaper to blacken the
regulations of the Irish political lead
ers. Only desperation could induce
the adoption of such policy. but as
usually happens under like conditions
its desperateness only serves to hasten
the end it is intended to retard or pre-
vent.
One feature of these latest evictions
in Ireland that is especially disgracful
