In The Courts.

Two tonsorial artists of the second
ward, Jones and Wolfe respectively,
got into such heated argument last
Monday that Wolfe had recourse to
the law and swore out a warrant
against Jones. The case was tried
amid suppressed hilarity before jury
in Judge Jewett's court yesterday.
Evidence ELECTED the fact that
Wolfe was the aggressor, that he had
plagued Jones sorely, and the jury
found for the defendant, Jones, and
assessed the costs upon Wolfe.
This gentleman will be given a
trial before justice May at 10 o'clock
this morning, having been arrested
yesterday by constable WeIch charged
with stealing a copy Of THE AsToRIAN

vicinity have lcng suffered in this
way, and while this paper has no de-
sire to prejudice any one or try a case

that stealing daily papers from sub

ALBANY AWAKE.

A Company Organized For That Purpos

The enterprising citizens of Albany

EDIToR Daily Herald:
The general feeling and desire OF
the people Of Astoria and Clatsop
county is for railroad connection with
the Willamette valley. The ultimate
object and intent of the Astoria and
South Coast Railway company is to
build on to reach such connection.
While 1 am not authorized TO speak
for the company, 1 know that the
company is favorably disposed to
such railroad cooperation. A COM
munication from your Albany COM
pany to the board of directors of our
Astoria company would doubtless re-
ceive prompt and favorable consider

Last June commissioner Mcdonald
made very interesting and impor-
taut experiment in shad Matching. 1t
Is we'll known that almost all young
shad die if placed in rivers in the
spring,and that the longer they live the
greater their chances of survival. Col.
Mcdonald, therefore, this year placed
two million shad fry in 4 pond at
Washington, and now there are S00,-
900 young breathing shad from three
to four inches long. These will be
turned into the Potomac next spring,
ID condition to escape their ene-
mics and stock the river abnudantly.
The percentage Oe survivals, il Is
said, il some thousands of times
greater than il the fry had heer
placed liz the river soon after they
we're hatched. Tits highly success
ful experiment is OF vast Importance
IN fish cuiture. 1t may be repeated
without great expense, anl by pri
vate enterprise, in all waters where
shad are ii iely to thrive. As TIT
shad is extremely prolific, a compar
atively small Investment in its cuI
ture will eventually yield a large re
turn.
