The baby was attired In heavy clothing and before this could be removed the little one was terribly burned. Dr. Estes, the attending phy- slclun, stated lust evening that the In fant was probably not fatally burned, but that It would be 24 hours before the extent of Its Injuries could be as certulned. An outrage that was perpetrated at Skamokawa early Sunday morning has created much Indignation In that town. About 2 a. m. someone threw a stone through the window of the residence of Mrs. George O.

HEILBORN SON Astoria's Leading Hoose Furnishers 9 Many complaints have been regis tered with the police against the dep redatlons of bad boys during the past few days. Boys have broken Into sev eral buildings and destroyed home property, and In other ways have been misbehaving themselves. Chief Hal- lock said last evening that he would adopt vigorous methods to put a stop to the practices of the boys and ar rests may be expected at any time. Not long since the bad-boy difficulty made more or less trouble for the po lice, and the chief Is determined to nip In the bud the evident determina tion of the lads to again make trouble. ' The traflio department of the A. A C. R. R. announces that effective since October 1st they are selling through tickets over their line from Astoria In connection with the O. R. & Nr Co to all local points on that com pany's lines In Oregon, Washington and Idaho, as well as all eastern and European points, In addition to tickets via, the Northern Pacific railway, thus giving passengers the choice of routes to any part of the east and Europe at the same rates as are in effect from Portland. Tickets, rates and general Information can be ob tatned at the city ticket office In the Page building. "I may be compelled to go to Ger many or some other seaport to get carpenters to do the work, but you can put it down as certain that I am going to enlnrge that theater of mine." said Manager Hedrlck last evening. Mr. Hedrlck had just returned from Port land, where carpenters are quite as busy as they are In this city. Some weeks ago Mr. Hedrlck advertised for bids for remodeling the showhouse, but the local carpenters have been so busy they could not do the work.. So the manager went to Portland, but every thing Is booming there and contractors would not take any outside work. Now, Mr. Hedrlck wants to have his theater enlarged,- as he has a theater scheme In view that will be of moment to the Astoria public, and ne is anx ious to award his contract. He meuns to get men at San Francisco, If that Is possible, and If not, he will go farther east. But the theater will be remod eled. He has allowed 21 days for the work. . The break-up of a portion of the Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia river has tied up the tug Samson, which will remain at her dock In Port land until the repairs are far enough along so that her services will again be required. She expects to be tied up about two weeks. Additional de tails received last night tend to confirm reports before received to the effect that the bar has been rougher for the past two days than It has before for some time. The steamers Sue H. El more and Manclnlta were unable to get out either yesterday or Wednesday, but will try to make It today. The seas were so rough Wednesday that a dead light on the tug Wallulu was smash ed In. When It Is considered that the glass was three-fourths of an Inch inch thick and the diameter of the light eight Inches, an Idea of the sea which must have been running can be obtained. The . cigar making Industry Is be coming an Important one In this city, and more than $400 wekly Is now paid In wages by local manufacturers. X V. Burns has Just made an addition to his manufactory and the room Is now nearly twice as large as formerly. The Increased demand for the famous Im perial and El Cielo cigars has ren dered the change necessary. There are seven men at work at Mr. Burns' fac tory, three of them engaged In the manufacture of Imperials. A new size of Imperial, three for 50 cents, Is to be platad on the market within a few days, making three sizes for this pop ular brand of goods.' Twenty thou sand Imperials are smoked every month, while 10,000 El Cleloa are con sumed. The payroll of the factory is f225 a week. In all there are 14 cigar makers In Astoria, and they receive from $25 to $35 weekly. In the past many thousands of outside cigars were sold In this city, but with the manu facture of first-class brands of local goods a vast sum has been kept at home every year.
