Mr. George Kaboth, whose name had been mentioned as a candidate for the office of school director, states that he was not a candidate, that he did not seek the office and did not ask anyone to vote- for him.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears iZn Signature of COUNTY COURT IN SESSION THE THREE COMMISSIONERS PRESENT AT AN INTEREST INQ AND IMPORTANT MEET- ING YESTERDAY. The session of the County Com missioners arc enlivened by several interesting and important matters yesterday morning, The three coin missioners, Judge Trenchard, Wil liain Larson and John F. Frye, were present, Mr. Hobsort of the J. II. Hobson Company presented a written com plaint to the commissioners in rela tion to a contract the company has for supplying kerosene to the Wal luski bridge. According to its con tract with the county, the company reserved the right to receive back the oil cans when emptied. But a hitch arose. I he Driugc tender at me Walluski bridge apparently want ed the empty cans as badly as did the company, and he refused to give them up. In his communication Mr. Hobson states that "McLean, the bridge ten der, said 1 could go to hell for the cans." After suggesting that he was very sorry to be compelled to bring up such unpleasant language and such an unpleasant matter, Mr. Hob son asked what the commissioners would do in the matter. "What will you do?" an Astorian reporter asked Judge Trenchard. "Well, probably we'll try to sec that Mr. Hobson won't have to go to any very hot place to get his cans. The cans belong to Mr. Hobson by contract, I believe." Under order from the commission ers Sheriff Pomeroy will sell all property acquired by the county on tax sales to the highest bidder from the court house steps, on July 13. The commissioners yesterday took action upon the precincts that voted dry in the liquor election June 1. The court ordered that in Precincts 1, 6, 7, and Olney, the sale of intoxicating liquors shall be prohibited for bever age purposes on and after July 1, and for all other purposes except those mentioned in Section 2 of the statutes of the State of Oregon; and that the order shall remain in force until the voters decide differently at an elec tion duly called for that purpose. Carl Hagglund, road superintend ant of Road District No, 16, stated in a communication to the board that the money given last year to this district to put in a fill near Knappa proved not enough to complete the job. 'Ihe road washed out, and Mr. Hagglund states that if not fixed now the road is likely to become impas sable next winter. A bulkhead and a little more grading are required. The court ordered the matter looked into. The Fourth of July committee hav ing the entertainment in hand re quested the court to grant the use of the court house steps on the day of the celebration. The steps are want ed for the orator of the occasion and other similar purposes. The request was granted. TONGUE POINT DEAL (Continued from page 1) it is only simple justice to all con cerned, to await, without undue com ment, the actual outcome, whatever that shall be." Mr. Hammond reports himself in excellent health and thoroughly en joying the trip, Mrs. Hammond ac companies him, and for the few days they will be in Astoria, they will be guests at the hospital home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Elmore, on Four teenth street. The Morning Astorian is glad to lead in the expression of a very uni fied sentiment here, that it will be an excellent thing for this city and county, if the business propositions under consideration shall eventuate in such an investment by A. 11. Ham mond, as he is the one man who has done much for Astoria in the past and who is in position to do a great deal more if this matter ends in his acquisition of the interests in ques tion. Mr. Hammond is also accompanied by Messrs. G.'B. MacLeod, of the Hammond Lumber Company, and Superintendent McMullen of the Vance Redwood Lumber Company, of Eureka, another large enterprise controlled by Mr. Hammond, and the party will likely remain here until tomorrow evening or Thursday morn ing, by which the interesting situa tion here alluded to, will be finally disposed of, one way or the other.
