The county Is entitled to 10 delegates and each of the commercial bodies to 10 delegates, not Including the president and sec re tary of each. Astoria will doubtless be well represented at the convention. About nine-tenths ot the people would bff willing to make affidavit that yesterday was the hottest day of the present century in this city. The ther mometer at the office of Weather Ob' server Masters registered 79, and peo ple sweltered in the heat and longed for the cool breeses ot the evening. The idea of people complaining of the heat when the glass goes up to 78 wltl probably atrlke aa humorous those unfortunate souls . who reside In in terior points. The highest point was reached by the glass at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The previous evening the thermometer waa down to 55, and at last night It stood at 76. In April Astorlans enjoyed one day with a tem perature of about 78, but no one seem ed to be suffering then.

Claims allowed by the council the previous evening numbered something tike 112, and a few ordinances brought up the total to about 120. The mayor's signature was necessary to every one ot the warrants and ordinances, and his honor was at the office of the auditor during the greater part of the day. Reports from the packing houses yesterday were to the effect that there bad been some Improvement in the run ot salmon. Catches, especially at lower harbor points, were very much better than those made on the previous day, and some ot tbe boats came in with halt-ton hauls.

The popularity of the La Veras cigar has built up an Important Industry in Astoria. When Mr. Shoenbaechler com menced the manufactures of this brand ot cigar Astoria was already well sup plied with other high-class goods, but the excellence of the output of the local factory has given smokers ample reason to patronize home Industry. Mr. Schoenbaechler has just removed to new and more commodious Quarters In the building; just erected on the south side of Commercial street be tween Eighth and Ninth, and has a large force ot workmen engaged in the manufacture of the fine grades of goods fox which the factory is noted. Call for the La Vera cigar, and a trial 111 convince you that it i better than any other bit article on the market t'nue to enjoy ownership of streets ex tending north from the high water mark. Now, this particular strip was donated for street purposes, so the city claims absolute title to it Tb tai gave a deed to the strip to W. S. Kinney, since deceased, but it is tbe contention of the authorities of the city that the state deed would not hold good, as the government had previously arranged for city owner ship of all such land. Settlement of the question is of great Importance to several property owners, who are anx ious to build on Thirteenth street Mr. Tee says the strip is live feet in width at the widest end. City Attorney Smith will try and settle the matter before the next meeting of the coun cli. The following appears in the current number of the- Tacoma Lumberman from Its Astoria correspondent: "Th C.

Veness, at Wlnlock, Wash., for several years, commencing at the bottom ot the ladder and climb ing to the top. He then went to the Tongue Point Lumber Company, where for a long period he was assistant man ager, but, having ambition to do bus! ness on his own account he resigned this lucrative position and will now take his chances with the balance. He will wholesale the products of the Tungue Point company, and also ot other mills In this vicinity. Mr. Gra ham has many friends in commercial and social circles, and will no doubt be highly successful in his business." p . i 1 ' ' ' - EXTRAORDIMARf I VALUES IN EUGS I Beautiful Moquette Rugs 15.00 values for $3.75 g - $3.75 values for $2.50 Others for $1.40 and $1.10 I THE LATEST THING IN CUSHION TOPS X cross-stitch patterns for 25 cents .

HEILBORN $ SON I Astoria's Leading House-furnishers J City Surveyor Tee stated yesterday that he could not understand how any one could reasonably claim title to the strip of property which lies between the McClure and Shlvely claim lines.
